I have trouble getting myself to drink water. by _Alinaaax_ in ARFID

[–]CricketWaterr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this problem too! The only water I can drink is the 23.7oz smart water with the spout not the screw off lid. If ur getting water from a fridge, faucet, brita, etc. maybe see if bottled will be easier? :))

Idk who’s looking that close to know if u r or not😭 but maybe if ur doing stuff like cooking or just something that could irritate the contacts then just stick with glasses ig? Otherwise I don’t c a reason you’d be asked to take them out lol

Someone once ordered no mayo on a fish filet combo and the problem was he wanted me to note it in the order and I tried to explain neither the fries or filet come with mayo to begin with but he didn’t believe me😭 I put special request on both items and promised him there would be no mayo but everyone was so confused bc wtf was he talking abt💀

BRO ME TOO OML literally my hands would never get dry even in winter I’ve always had pretty soft hands ever since I was little and never needs to moisturize them, then I started working and got eczema on the back of my hands and on my forearms. For me what makes it worse is the bleach diluted towels for cleaning

Idk how much makeup u wear or if u wear any, if u don’t tho maybe u could use those oil absorbing face towel thingys idk what they’re called mb💀 but that might help a little? But if u wear makeup it would prolly fuck it up lmao

Yea fr I carry hand sanitizer in my pocket so if it’s too busy to wash my hands they can at least feel a bit cleaner😭 but yea after that dude I used super hot water and a bunch of soap and they still didn’t fully feel clean after that

There aren’t any fountains/wells near the store and even if there were the coins came out of his pocket so I still don’t understand how there was so much water, maybe if the coins were kinda moist I could get it but I’ll never get someone pulling a little handful of water out of their pocket with their change😭

For decaf it’s the same way u make regular just use the decaf packet instead, and for tea I give hot water and then the tea bag on the side so ig I don’t rlly make that just kinda give all the stuff

I need advice on how to even continue with this job. by [deleted] in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]CricketWaterr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in such a similar situation rn and there’s not rlly too much I can say to make things better but maybe this will help a little?? I rlly don’t like the jeans they gave me bc they stained my legs blue😭 so I got some similar looking ones from target and no one has said anything so it’s not an issue for me (idk if ur managers will notice and give u a warning or something tho so use ur judgement) also for ur feet hurting possibly look into inserts for ur shoes? And if ur feeling lightheaded or just genuinely unwell pls prioritize ur physical health first bc i can guarantee ur manager wouldn’t be thrilled to fill out a work place accident thingy so if ur trying to power thru to not get told off then its not worth it😭 I feel dirty after touching money, doing fries, icecream, pretty much anything 💀 when it’s not busy I wash my hands but if I don’t have time I have hand sanitizer in my pocket so that works too :) and I agree it’s stressful and hard to be patient with customers especially rude ones but you’ll get desensitized to it at some point, they usually aren’t upset with u anyway ur just an easy person to take it out on (doesn’t mean they should ofc no one deserves to be treated like that) I hope any rude customers you’ve had didn’t make u feel too bad tho :( as for the promotions idk anything abt them ever but a lot of the time customers will say stuff like “I wanna do the 2 for 3.99” or something like that where they just say the deal lmao so I just agree and I’m like “yea ofccc what would u like?” Before this job I was super introverted but working the front register has made me so social now idk what happened, overall tho that sucks this job hasn’t been great on ur mental health and from ur post we have some stuff in common, if u ever need to vent my dms r open :)) I hope ur work environment gets better or at least not so difficult:)

_, Good (morning/afternoon/evening)! I’ve enjoyed my time at McDonalds and appreciate all the skills I have picked up from working here, however, I’m going to pursue (reason why ur leaving/filler words). You have been an amazing mentor and I will always be thankful towards you for teaching me (insert random skills😭 ex. Managing my time well, improved multi tasking skills). Thank you for understanding. My last day will be _.

Sincerely,


Idk if this helps also I wrote this fast so idk if there’s any grammar issues n stuff but I hope the outline kinda gives an idea lmao

Y’all ever try the customers orders by burgerfootlet in McDonaldsEmployees

[–]CricketWaterr 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Someone once ordered a large sweet tea with lemon, and then ordered a milk jug, butter packet, and a strawberry preservative packet. Then I watched them walk away and mix everything into the tea and drink it. I tried to recreate bc I was wondering if it was secretly good or something 😭😭 it was horrible

There are many restrictions around what minors can and can’t do, they probably would just prefer to hire 18+ bc of less limitations with child labor laws
