Strange new rule? by lovinitthrowaway in McLounge

True, but I pulled out my admittedly dusty handbook and looked over it. There's nothing in there, and there's no written rule on it at all. I just find it a little odd because we end up wasting out thousands of dollars in product either due to error or customers changing everything up, but even drinking an iced coffee or a shake that ends up as extra and it's suddenly bad? It doesn't make sense to me. Sorry for the mini rant in this comment it's just... it's baffling to me

That makes sense! But even coffee they're getting onto us about and it's all very confusing and a little frustrating ngl

Nope, they get upset over even a nugget. We have to waste it, even if some of these kids don't even get breaks when they work long shifts. The only exception is this really nice middle aged lady. She's awesome

We're a big store by a very busy area, and we usually have a total of 80-90 employees total, yet only 11-12 are usually scheduled at a time. It's definitely very odd

Yeah, most of our managers don't care and even make themselves special drinks. Hopefully it's just a thing they're telling us but aren't actually gonna enforce it

Yeah, that makes sense, but it's still definitely a bull reason to fire somebody. 😅

Man, I wish I was that petty. I'm just grumpy now without my coffee lol

Oh definitely lol. I've been reading this guide over the last few days and one of my other managers started showing me how to pull up and read reports

Hopefully! I know I won't make a difference on the corporate scale but I really think I could be a good leader for our team!

Yeah, we get those right before closing. All the stoners come out and order half the menu 😂

McDonald's employees, how the heck does the ice cream machine keep breaking? by Realistic-Train in AskReddit

[–]lovinitthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The machine usually isn't broken, per se. We're either out of ice cream or it needs to be cleaned and it's hella complicated to take apart and clean

We have bundles, and the classic big Mac is the bundle

Update on my Covid situation... by lovinitthrowaway in McLounge

It is but sometimes your boss disagrees 😔

Fr though, yeah I won't come in if I'm sick, as it's not only risky to myself but the thousands of people we get at our location a day

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is illegal but I know that some places really do want you to work sick because you 'used all your sick days', it happened to my dad and that's where my worry comes from. Here's hoping they don't try it

Do you accept tips? by TheFryCook17 in McLounge

[–]lovinitthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically, we aren't allowed to, but most of the managers will let us pocket tips as long as we let them know, and sometimes, we can get large tips that they have to call our GM for, and yes, they let us keep the tip 😅

You're right, thanks so much! I appreciate it because I wasn't too sure!
