    A friend told me once that the cleaning guy regularly cleaned the toilet seat and the food trays with the same sponge.

    How about customers- staff relations?

    Don’t work at a Mcds but the weirdest one Ive been to was a 24hr one in a rough area. They had like a bouncer /security inside. And the cleaner lets any homeless people in to have a sleep at the tables. They get warned they have to be out by 6am. They had their suitcases with them

    How often does the burger boy swipe his greasy ass crack with a bun?

  43. SayWhaaatAgain Avatar

    I worked at McDonalds as a teen and we got 1 free meal per shift and were supposed to ring it up at the register as an “official employee meal” but most people would just prep their meal and walk back to the break room with.

    I also remember the closing crew would often “accidentally” bake a tray of pumpkin pies close to closing so they could ring it out as leftover/expired at end of shift and take some home.

    I worked in fast food when I was 16-19 and the people you have to work with and also the customers you have to endure are unreal!

    Caught a young couple smoking heroin in the disabled toilet with their baby in with them.

    Had a customer pull a knife on me for refusing to give him free food. He did politely wait by the front door for the police to collect him lol (The taxi he had got fed up of waiting for him)

    Several staff members start fights as well as customers start chaos. I confronted an employee that I overheard saying he was leaving and not coming back and he returned the next day with his mom and dad who then proceeded to call me a racist and his dad got physical over it so we ended up fighting.

    Fast food jobs are hard work lol

    I never feel totally comfortable drinking McDonald’s soda, or soda from any fast food joint really. I feel like to soda machines aren’t cleaned nearly as often as they should be. How often are they cleaned at McDonald’s and do you clean the lines as well?

    Ball pits in the play areas. Do the balls ever get cleaned or sanitized?

    I worked at mcdonalds from 16 to 19. I thought it was an ok place to work. I thought the company cared about health and safety etc.

    Your title seems the opposite??
