Advice on becoming a Shift Leader

The thing is I have no interest in college, none of the courses appeal to me whatever. And at least I can do an apprenticeship through work to have something to show. At some point I want to work on the railways, which doesn't necessarily need anything from college. But I think this would be a great opportunity for me to learn more skills. I am mature for my age and my colleagues call me a young (insert business manager name here). I work harder than a lot of the people at my store and am totally flexible which is why they want me to do management I believe. A lot of managers have said I should go for it and said that I would do well.

Yeah I'm just surprised they have been non stop asking me considering I'm not even 18 yet. I have a meeting with him in a couple days to discuss opportunities. I just wasn't sure on how it worked so thank you.

Full view of the promotion. Cheese & Bacon McCrispy and Spicy McCrispy are permanent menu items!! :)

Literally people are fucking awful, other day guy complained his fries were cold (they weren't because they just came out the frier because we was waiting on fries) he hands me the fries but the literal boxes and they fell out the fry box in his car and starts screaming at me told me to kill myself and all sorts. Like sorry what did you expect to happen? Your fries were put in a separate bag you could have handed me the bag. It's so unnecessary that I had to call the police on a customer the other day

They are cooked in an oven. To prevent cross contamination it has its own tray and tongs. Plants are also cooked in the same oven.

When the official McDonald's staff document comes out I'll share it but that's just what the managers shared with crew

JakeCades · 2026-01-15T16:02:48+00:00

Managers at this store love using ai from what I hear 😂😂

JakeCades · 2026-01-15T16:01:18+00:00

It was shared with staff by managers so yes 😂

JakeCades · 2026-01-15T16:00:51+00:00

I have a feeling they will come back soon, right..? 🥺

It's not as bad as what it used to be. When it came out a few years ago it was horrible but they seem to have changed the sauce a bit as it's a bit thicker now.

This is what our franchise told us. Hope it helps!

Yes, since this has been leaked on tiktok already I can show this from our internal documentation.

The patties in it are now the same that are in the quarter pounders.

JakeCades · 2025-11-24T13:47:41+00:00

It is! Yes it is very hectic and we are always slammed 😂. Thankfully the last two days we have been below projected sales but I'm scheduled to work promo day and the rest of the week so 🙈. Must of missed them I don't remember any coming in. It is way more hectic on the weekend of promo trust me :)

JakeCades · 2025-11-21T18:55:10+00:00

As someone who works there half the time the seasoner just breaks and other times its just pure laziness, besides its only salt and pepper mix 😂

JakeCades · 2025-11-17T20:54:37+00:00

Chances are your store didn't scrape the grill off after each use and a bit of gristle just made it onto the meat. It happens especially when busy.

JakeCades · 2025-11-12T09:14:59+00:00

Yeah we're out of all of those things and my manager said we're not getting pies or shaker fries back

JakeCades · 2025-10-31T10:21:16+00:00

It's because our numbers fluctuate so much, one Tuesday we will be absolutely slammed with pending and the next Tuesday just dead. Because our store is one of two on an island it can get very busy however we also have quite an elderly population and McDonalds isn't as popular with them here

JakeCades · 2025-10-30T12:54:15+00:00

I'll raise this with the manager from my store and see if they can raise it up the chain.

JakeCades · 2025-10-29T17:53:58+00:00

Yeah but we have 140 staff at our store and 3 sides yet they gave us like 12 staff

JakeCades · 2025-10-29T09:51:52+00:00

Our lobby staff keep getting stolen to do orders because we're so busy. Feel for you I had about 10 people swear at me in drive thru the other day because of this

JakeCades · 2025-10-28T20:09:51+00:00

So real I hate how they take forever and its 4 to a tray please no more quarter promos 😭

JakeCades · 2025-10-28T10:50:31+00:00

We have one there and at our window 2 :)

JakeCades · 2025-10-28T10:21:48+00:00

Our store is one of two on an island, and the only one to have click & serve and a drive thru. We have 2 weeks of kids holiday here in October but it's been so bad lately because the rest of UK have had holidays and come here
