The McDonalds Thread

Surely you have to ask the teachers for their permission first? And I used their college phone numbers/email addresses/College address.

It's fine, just let them know at the interview so they can make adjustments if necessary (eg train you in the kitchen or on lobby if you think you might have difficulties taking orders etc).

There are laws regarding disability discrimination; they're not allowed to not hire you because you're hearing impaired. In any case, people working in the kitchen, lobby and deliveries don't need to rely on good hearing to do their job, so they won't see it as a problem

Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it! Any tips for the OJE btw? I'm more nervous about the OJE because it is going to be more challenging for me than the normal applicant, I guess.

I never actually had an OJE. I was told I was going to get one but when I turned up it was just a brief interview. We're not allowed to discuss specific questions they'll ask on TSR but it's the same kind of stuff you would expect anywhere.

I'm not quite sure why? I've sat in and held numerous interviews and I really can't think of anything McSpecific we / I've ever asked.

I laugh with sadness everytime I see this thread. I've applied 5+ times and have been rejected. I've got no idea why. Either the Days I said I wanted to work/my application or the questions.

I'm surprised they haven't fired me yet, this is only my 6th week working there and i've taken 2 sick days and 3 holiday days already and when I am there I can't do much anyway
Can you ask them to train you to do something different, ie tills, or is it just totally up to them when and what they train you for?

I hope you're joking! D: I can't handle presenter window even when it's not busy... Black order... green.... RED, RED, RED!!!

Got a 9-5 tomorrow, interestingly. I've never done breakfast menu before though , and I highly doubt I'll get to watch someone else do it. Will need to think on my feet

I find breakfast easier cos there's less stuff on the menu and everything's made to order so you know your food's (usually) coming.

Only thing that happens at ours is that other people steal food from the production bin when they've been waiting 10 seconds as opposed to someone who's been waiting on the same item for 610 seconds. Then managers kick off and start getting aggressive. You'd probably have been better on an earlier shift where it's quieter to get used to breakfast, 9-5 can be a bit of a nightmare!
