    If you've been successful in the application, sounds like you have the job! Well done.

    Basically it does.
    I did the exact same thing about 4 weeks ago, basically they will chuck you on the drive through for 15 to 30 minutes just to see if you can keep a track of whats going on and be polite to customers.
    Its not too bad a job once you start, tbh if you work at a busy time it is still easy and it seems to go quickly.

    If you have an orientation, then yes - you definately have the job.. The orientation is basicly a welcome meeting that your apart of the crew (haha :p:) and you'll get your uniform and stuff there.


    P.S. Mackemforever, what you described was the OJE/Interview, he's stated he already done that part.

    Really? I never had to do that, they were just like, "I'm happy to give you the job" 10 minutes into the interview!

    But I suppose mine (like a lot of them) is a franchise, so sets its own ways of deciding who to give the job to.

    I also didn't get put on drive thru until I'd been working there for a fair bit, tis odd

    I learnt every station on my first week, they trained me at a different store lol. I'm told I'm the fastest hand-held order taker one of the managers has seen :yep: woo lol
