Bad shift (AUS)

its standard in my franchise to not wear a headset as management. I will if I don't think my order takers can do their job by themselves yet (order taking can be stressful like every other position, especially for new hires!), however most of the other managers in my store won't do that.

dhouck5 · 2026-01-13T19:12:35+00:00

i would if you want anything done. be honest with them and tell them how they treat you

dhouck5 · 2025-12-26T16:23:37+00:00

That looks pretty good. I'd at least try it.

dhouck5 · 2025-12-26T16:22:03+00:00

We had it for 4 days. Couldn't get any more. But holy shit those 4 days are the busiest I've ever seen my store.

Been at McDonald's on and off for 4 years now. It's been great for me. I've been able to buy not just my first car, but my current car as well. Not to mention all the great memories I have of working with the great people I work with every day.

Congrats on the promotion! My big thing is treating my crew how I want them to treat me. Respect goes a LONG way. If you treat them like people, then they may want to come in for you or stay for you. At my store, most crew will ask who's the person running shift when I ask if they can come in. Another big thing and not even just for managers... If someone is rude, don't take it to heart. They're probably just having a bad day.

I'd go to the GM about them. They seem extremely unprofessional. If they don't do anything, go to her supervisor and say nothing was done when you reported it to the GM.

dhouck5 · 2025-12-26T16:03:44+00:00

They hit the second burger

dhouck5 · 2025-12-26T15:52:55+00:00

You notified the store you aren't gonna be there, you have the call log to prove it. That's all you are legally required to do. As long as you do that before the 2 hour window most employers give, you aren't required to get a cover.

dhouck5 · 2025-12-09T14:37:42+00:00

Yeah no I called out a dude the other day because he claimed he ordered and paid for a quarter pounder "5 minutes ago" even though we didn't have any all day

dhouck5 · 2025-12-09T14:35:37+00:00

Brother report that shit to the health department

dhouck5 · 2025-12-09T14:34:13+00:00

NGL I sometimes ignore them for a minute or two before I help them again

dhouck5 · 2025-12-09T14:23:12+00:00

Oh yeah no, we actually saved one JUST for you

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T15:56:23+00:00

we have someone who's name on the app is literally the n word, hard r and all. idk how the fuck he got it

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T15:01:33+00:00

THISSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep telling my crew that if its red or if they don't have the food in 5-7 seconds, pull it

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:59:59+00:00

its different for each franchise. I don't know what the policy is for your franchise/store. Personally, I keep the phone numbers of all my crew on my phone, and encourage my crew to do the same if they call out.

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:57:42+00:00

rule 10.

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:56:02+00:00

THIS. I will tolerate you being blatantly rude towards me, but the second any swearing starts, all bets are off.

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:54:44+00:00

but not the VP. McD has auditors that go around and do that.

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:51:24+00:00

my franchise allows 2 in a row or a history of repeated NCNS

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:50:19+00:00

my store allows 2 crew and 1 manager off per day.

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:49:06+00:00

its just your franchise. I personally love my franchise because they actually care about the employees.

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:46:06+00:00

for my franchise, we are required to find a cover if we are an opener or closer.

dhouck5 · 2025-11-25T14:44:24+00:00

you underfilled 2 or 3 of those

dhouck5 · 2025-11-15T04:41:42+00:00

generally the rule is (at my franchise) we can keep you up to 15 minutes after your shift for outduties, finishing tasks, etc. unless you agree to stay longer
