You are right, and it just doesn't go on in California McDonald's...it's like that all the way in michigan too! mcdonalds just fired me yesterday....they said that i threatened three different managers...and i didnt even say anything! they're lying..and they said they had other crew members put in writing that i said all this stuff...so i had no way of defending myself. you cant prove i did it, you cant prove i cant. but i have worked there two years...used to be a manager but stopped because you get like 30 more cents and you get crapped on twice as much. everybody there liked me even the store manager liked me...but raises were coming up and i think they did it because they didnt want to pay me 7 bucks an hour...which is crappy to start with. so just like that...i dont have a job and there was nothing i could do! i know how mcdonalds is...and i will never eat there again either! i totally agree with everything you said. McDonald's does NOT care about you...they could pretend...for 2 years! and they WILL turn their back on you in a heartbeat.

why dont you just quit? there are other things to do in life, besides working at mcdonalds and bitching. if it is really that bad, wouldn't you rather beg in the streets. this isn't only mcdonalds, every fast food restaurant does the same shit. take it or leave it.

Wink

That was a really interesting posting. I worked at McDonalds in Missouri also when I was 17 in high school because I could not find another part time job also. I worked in the grill. The managers there were women too but it seemed the people were friendlier and there were people who actually made careers out of it. I knew this women who was there for years and her duaghter and son worked there too. Maybe this is true because it was the midwest and people are friendlier in the Midwest than in the more crowded east and west coasts. But either way, people did not wash their hands and it gets pretty hectic there. Makes you realize how important it is to finish high school go to college and get a decent job. Sometimes u never know that until u work at places like McDonalds. I liked ur posting. It was very funny and very informative & I agree.

i agreee

Hey I work at mcdonalds in bc canada.. And i completley agree I hate it so much and can't wait to leave. I've only been working there for 3 months and practically everything you said is true. Except Some of our managers are always working and the other half talk and get mad at the crew when we are going to slow

It only gets Better

Well I read this - and I started to cry - this was my life at one time - my life for almost 6 years - I did lobby,cook, overnight cleaning, cash,DT even parties - but do you think I could ever get management - nope I wasnt sleeping with any of the mangers - (want to become management try it, it will work) well guess what I had a few shitty jobs since then - but know I have an amazing Job Iam a supervisor @ C.P. Rail and thanks to McDonalds I actually becoame Managment - Guys just remeber this everything they did to you is wrong,do the oppisit of what they did and you can be a manager in a real company - heres and inside tip for anyone - McDonalds managment do get perks based on sales - now you know why the rush rush rush you - as an McDonlds Employee you will always be wrong (always) (remeber that when you no longer work there and you visit an McDonalds) but trust me your resume will aways look good due to you being an employee of McDicks - because future employors will beleave if you can do that yo can do anything- so trust me it only gets better

Unhappy

I am currently a McD's employee for a franchize owner in Southern Ca. MAYBE WE BOTH WORKED FOR THE SAME CRAPPY OWNER, cause i got the same experience as you. Oh, and one more thing...to make things worse, I overheard the owner of the store refer to his D.O. as 'porn king'. I hate that this creep has authority over everyone. he is always staring at all the women, and how do you tell someone with authority over you to stop staring at you? I like my job, but the McCrew , the supervisors, the owner are all so biased, and promotions, and raises are based on popularity, and NEVER on merit. It's like they WANT TO KEEP YOU DOWN. we get piss pay, but the CEO makes 13 million a year!!!!

Totally Agree

i myself am a "proud" (rite) worker at
McDonalds...

totally agree with that minimum wage shit!
i still work at McDonalds... still hating it....but then too lazy to get a new job ..

McDonalds managers are usually the worst piece of crap ever.
according to taylorism or someguy , division of labor is made for something.. if i work kitchen let me be in kitchen..i dont want to heat any bs about needing praction to work the cashier .

seriously man .. ppl u dont want to work at mcd's it is NOT a happy place...
its a fucked place ! ...i used to have this "McDs" spirit too..thats when i cared and felt a valued crew.. now...it has become so lame .
3 crew trainers just became managers..i am a crew trainer myself (been one for like 10months, trained 2 ppl) .. i mean why would they get promoted ? nothing against them .. ive been Crew trainer longer than 2 of them...and well why dont i get promoted ? even though i will decline the offer.....because why would i work for a $1 more to have more responsibilities and loads of shit to do . why ?

still the pay is the lamest.. full timers and part timers..big difference....full timers will usually be the ones working because they actually need the money...we part timers...as much as we need the money..we are usually the ones that are lest acknoledged. why ? because we are the cheap labor, the minimum wage....... stupid performance review every 6 months for what ? a 5 cents raise ? a 10 cents raise ? omg big deal...i worked my ass off 6 months just to get 5cents more on the hour ?
nice performance review ..

McDonalds' food is the worst thing ever.,.unless u know who is makin it ..that the only time i eat there .. other than that never ever eat that fucked up shit .

my point is...most mcdonalds have some kind of messed up managers, therefore bringing the store down ... lol secret shoppers.. lol that another messed thing .... the managers expect them to come ... they have code for ppl who they think might be the secret shoppers... lol why dont the managers waste their time at something else ? like maybe fixing that fucked up toiled in the mens washroom ..the one that looks as if some one freakin ate too mcuh bigmac and diarheaD al over the place ..tskk tskkkk
i dont know about the US but in canada we have 50% off food....lol 50% off shit food ....lol hahah

oh well...
mcdonalds not a workplace that is worth it
maybe i say maybe if the managers made an efffort to make every crew member feel valued just like they want to make the customer feel valued ..maybe there might be more productivity ...
a happy workplace is always a more productive workplace ...


i will end this with : dude..i agree ..yeah we get minimum wage.. we dont give a shit about the customer...that is why i take a long ass time to finish an order ... i dont give a shit .
i get yelled at ... and i dont respond... i lost hope in that place i once enjoyed working at ..... now its just a job not a career .

You guys are expecting $50 an hour to flip burgers? Give me a break, tell me what experience you have as a crew that 1 month of training won't give? You don't get paid a lot or get recognized for work that requires little/no education, if you're going to complain, get a new job then, they arn't making you stay with them forever you know. If you're not going to get a new job then it's best if you do what you're paid to do, make those burgers in 10 seconds.

Fuck mcdonalds i have been working at one in Maryland for about 7 months and counting so far and i hate that fucked up ass job. i figured it wouldnt be so bad because my cousin was one of the managers there. not only did he worked there but his mother(another manager) and his little sister work there also. when i first started he always pissed me off giving me all this grunt shit to do like clean the lobby, wash restrooms and take out trash all day. What you said about it being a mountain of dishes and the same person there washing them every night was completely true. I was that damn person washing dishes every night, i hated that shit. These muthafuckers wouldnt let you go home eighther until you finished ALL of them. i was basically doing this every night during the summer until school started and i could only work weekends. so they eventually worked someone else to take my spot doin that shit. i work in the grill section also where all the food is made. i know im nice as shit on table where the sandwiches are assembled but i can't do it by my self. a lot of times when i be on table othe people from the crew leave for something and take forever to come back and the management want to yell at me for taking so long. Tell me this HOW THE HELL am i suppose to make the food drop the meat, make the sandwiches, drop buns, and drop the fried foods on back wall all by myself during a rush. managers don't do shit but complain. Another thing that pisses me off is when new people come with no prior work exprience and get paid about a dollar more then me. Fuck Mickey d's, Ronald can go suck a dick and swallow for all i give a Damn!

guys kno how u feel. down here in NEW Zealand, the mcdondalds assocition sucks major cock. we have fukn criminals, pot heads and drunks working. ppl that dont even speak ENGLISH, these are the guys that end up gettn jobs over the more educated and trustworth ppl. it seems that gay mcdonalds just randomly chooses ppl to work for them. Back in the day, like most ppl- i enjoyed my job then all of a sudden ( 2 years later) i was like OMG this shit is fukn gay. i hate all the customers that swear at me, tease me, act all gangster and hard core, and threatn us. WE CANT EVEN SAY SHIT BACK TO THEM ( well i do these days, cos i dont give a fuk- suck my ass) our mcdonds wont even hire a securtity guard!! its a 24hrs mcds and they kno its dangerous, but the mcdonalds corporation r all abunch of tight pricks hu wont hire us some protection EVEN IF ITS JUST ONE GUY. ok lets talk about how a shift usaully is run- 4-5 ppl for a whole restarunt cos some stupid twat decided not to show up, the managers ( up tp 5 on one shift) dnt do SHIT. stand around talkn about there shoes or what they did on the weekend, or critising me for being so slow? BRO HOW CAN I GO FASTER WHEN UR NOT HELPGING. ass. the other day this new manager called ass hed, was being a prik. I was making a tandorrie chickn deli thingy- since there was no cucumber available i sed fuk it and just made it without. then this fag cums along and says "where the cucumber" i dunno man theres none left " have u looked" yes, theres NONE IN THE WALKING, "how long ago did u look" 20mins, ok so he pisses off to wank or wateva, come back 2mins later wif a cucumber in his hands and calls me a liar. I WAS LIKE BRO U TART, "where did u find it?" he sed in the store cupboards, "bro it wasnt in the walkin u ass, thats weere i sed i looked" well neway we kept arguing and i shut him down. ass. bro all the managers are dumb like him. well most. the only kewl ppl r mates that ive knownfor a while, but even they can be asses. moral of the story DNT WORK FOR MCDESS- they fuk u over. so thats y iam mucking around, and fukn them ova. At work, i will NOT SMILE, muckaround soooo much, dress up in funny shit, where those big sun glasses at nite, drink whenever whereever, in front of customer. instead of saying "hey there and welcome to mcdoanlds" ill be like "the eagle has landed. order when ur ready bro" or the famous chuck norris jokes " jesus walks on water, but chuck norris walks on jesus, order when ya redy". sometimes even be rude to customer. if they r being smart ass and yelling into the OT machine, ill be like "BRO r u gonna order or just be a dick". ok guys ive expressed my self, but there is sooo much more.

(for that one day onlyu and neva again) the managers make us clean shit THAT CUSTOMERS DONT EVEN SEE, shit that i didnt no existied. like up the very back corner, storeroom, up on the ceiling, theres was a litltle mark, and this guys had to scrub it down. fuk what a waste of time. ARGGGGGH that how me and many others feel. MCDOANDLAS or how ever u spell it sucks anal. (dont no how but they do). well abot cleaning, theres all this fat, grease, salt, rubbish juice thats gets sprayed on to ur face somethimes when u clean it. THEY R SOO YUK. at this one place i had to empty a bin from outside THAT DIDNT HAVE A PLASTIC BIN LINER, i had to use my fukn hands. EWW YUK. speaking of which- theres are a lot of ugly fukers outthre, hu come in drunk, or gangstered up and abuse us. CUSTOMERS THINK WE R STUPID FOR WORKING THERE, well let me tell u seomthign customer - FUK U AND UR MONEY. hmm mcdoandls food- 100% pumped wif fat, preservatives, chemicals, nething and everything to lure ppl in. THEY LIE so much. this thing about 100% pure beef is bs. (its from heaps of diff cows, even the retard defromed ones, and blending together). this company and there ceos, and all them other restarunt managers think they r the shit. they come in to our restartunt acting like there are the man. wehn we get busy of example, the dont help, they stand on the side and cristise away, and then one of us has to ask for there help. and wen they do finally healp they say "2 burgers at a time" IAM LIKE FUKK UP TOSSER that is way to slow. u see our place is a made to order, its a production line. we are already fast, iam fukn fast, and got more experience than u cunt. neway, they also complain about food wastage but end up wasting foood themseleves. u knos those timers? we usually dont bother wif that. but the doo. waste so much food. well i hope other ppl reply to this

<b> If you think McDonalds is kewl to work at,, ur a complete loser who has no ambition in life... If youv'e spent longer than 3 years being a backwash bi*ch or Grill Bi*ch, you should wear a paper bag in public.

This is how it works in Maccas New Zealand:
MAXIMUM WORKLOAD=Minimum wage
We are treated as downright slaves and the managers think theyre all mighty like sum godly spirit looking down on us... O yes not forgetting the favourites who are the managers friends who get the extra hour shifts at peak time!

Face the facts, McDonalds is a money-grabbing, time-consuming, backbreaking slavelord.. I'd like to see all the HOD's of McDonalds New Zealand do one shift all together...

and for this smart ass "You guys are expecting $50 an hour to flip burgers? Give me a break, tell me what experience you have as a crew that 1 month of training won't give? You don't get paid a lot or get recognized for work that requires little/no education, if you're going to complain, get a new job then, they arn't making you stay with them forever you know. If you're not going to get a new job then it's best if you do what you're paid to do, make those burgers in 10 seconds. " I have this to say:::

Its not just flipping burgers u arrogant fuck, its cleaning, mopping, licking your ass asking to wait another 20 seconds, and recieving shit about you apparently not working to "Mc Donalds procedures"

You dont know what your'e talking about! First of all, NO or very little training when you start.. When you work graveyard shifts, you have to try and decipher the coding of drunk people asking for Mcpizzas n shite. Do you know what its like to be working your ass off and being treated like shit? I dont think so you arrogant bastard! I watched my car getting dented by gangesters outside mcdonalds whilst i was working. When i wanted to go outsideand stop them, the manager told me to come bak in and sweep the lobby... I think we, as a crew, should be treated with a little more respect and dignity then you fukin customers give us! We try the best and yo0u just shove it in your mouth and shit it out you faggot! You can go suck balls with all the rest of those impatient fuckas! And dont give me that shit about little or no education! We are not some workforce of the mentally disabled! I'd kick your ass any day in an integrated relations physics exam! And while cooking your fucking shit in 10 seconds!

Fuck you Ronald McDonald! I hope you burn in shit you clown bitch! </b>
