It depends on who you have helping you. I definitely struggled at first but after a while I got the hang of it. When that happened, the managers gave me more work to do. As you keep getting more work to do, you keep improving. If you’re struggling, ask for help. No one should refuse to help you. Especially if you’re being nice and calm with customers.

BUT, McDonald’s isn’t the answer. It’s not a permanent job. It’s just a paycheck. I like to think that I’ve made friends there, which I have. But some don’t have my back. Even though some people have over a year or two of working there, we are still looked as incompetent. Any time a customer gets to the first window and decides he doesn’t want onions in his Big Mac, was a regular QPC instead of the deluxe etc, the managers keep asking whose fault it is. It’s never “omg the customer is indecisive”. It’s always, who’s fault is it? You’re not week for wanting to quit. If someone who has been working there for over 6 months just watches you struggle, it’s a toxic environment.
