I can’t believe they made a bizarre rules!

[@joshh2030]

Why tell lies

[@grgamer8470]

The rules about the time a product is on the product display can be modified . We did it regularly because the 30 minutes doesn't make something to decay when they are staying in the right temperature.

[@jeaneinstein4663]

I'll be 3rd on that list.

[@kayciestraub]

Also some advice i dont know if yall vape but if ya have a nicotine craving while on the clock,good places to take a quick vape break is in the bathrooms (be mindful of the smoke detectors and sprinkler systems), In the walk fridge/freezer out of cameras veiw, itll be cold enough that the vapor as you exhale will be masked by the cold smoke frome the freezer fans that it'll be invisible, outside while you're takeing food to a curbside order/parked car on hold and lastly, in the storage room (if you have sliding shelves) hide away from the cameras, but it will be more risky than the other three risky as anyone can walk including a manager

[@maenad1231]

Same goes with any kind of rule or law

[@kevinwebster7868]

Then you should know it’s a franchise and franchise owners can set most of their own rules.

[@CO84trucker]

I worked for a McDonald's franchise back in the 2000s and one assistant manager often times looked the other way on some rules. He had no problem with us swiping a nugget l, chicken strip, etc so as long as it got written off as expired or hit the floor. Also one evening when he was holding down the fort, we were understaffed on a lenten Friday when they served 2 for $3 fillet-o-fish. Because we were so burned I suggested making a beer run during my break but that assistant manager said he had a bottle of Jack Daniel's in his car.... as soon the dining room closed we were drinking Jack & Coke in the large drink cups!

As a former worker for the creepy mascot, the food timers are typically more suggestions than actually enforced along with almost all of the other rules unless they are looking for a reason to fire you to begin with.

[@RiptornRory]

Food timers? If you worked overnight, those never were used. Just Saying.

[@jenkzkh]

As a former mcds employee trust me when I say we never went by the hold times. They didn't want waste from too much food being thrown out

[@n2teddy]

Any fast food restaurant that fires a employee for accepting a tip deserve to close down forever. They already barely paying those folks and they're willing to fire a employee because a customer want them to have a tip? That's stupid af.

[@beautyindarkness8146]

I had a manager at taco bell see me accept a tip in the drive thru, and they made me put it in the register, I wasn't allowed to keep it.

[@kenmore01]

Home Depot is the same. The reason is, if you accept tips, it becomes a new norm and people will feel like they have to tip employees. Customers will resent it and do business elsewhere. If the employees don't like the pay or rules, they are free to find employment elsewhere.

[@dapadul17]

I had two incident 1- it was a holiday Christmas and a customer want to give me $20.00 and I told him we are not allowed to accept it. The customer got mad at me for not accepting it. Then I went over to him and I said OK I’ll take it. And I thank him. 2- The second one is when I found a pocketbook and I put it in the back office. A female customer came in and had said did anyone found a pocketbook. I said yes I found one. Then she had to describe to me what was inside and what the pocketbook look like. Then after that I gave her her pocketbook. She gave me $60.00 I explain to her that I’m not supposed to accept this. But she insisted so I took it. I did not tell any of the managers about this. It’s no one‘s business.

[@hazelwears8728]

That's why I said ALL fast food restaurants(in this case McDonald's) NEEDS TO PAY their EMPLOYEES MORE MONEY!

[@SamSitar]

@@beautyindarkness8146 you are better off calling the police on your manager for verbally abusing you.

[@tinagardner3958]

If you want fresh fries, just ask for them to be made fresh. It's more work for the employees to make the no salt fries. They have to clean out the holding bin, clean the fry scoop, etc. (Only to have the customer ask for packets of salt to put on their fresh no salt fries!)

[@terrencejones308]

I've never seen this done.

[@joshshirley8568]

Lol when I worked at McDonald's and someone asked for fresh fries at night we would just take the old fries and throw them into a basket and put them in the fryer for a minute. No one ever knew lol.

[@watchinvidzwatchinvidz7691]

Just get a clean pan & put a bakery pan liner on it & its easy. Give them salt packets on the side bc it's better salt on the fries.

[@Misspadthai]

Worked at a McDonald’s when I was younger. Can guaranteed we only followed that time rule when the big bosses were in. Otherwise, the store managers would just reset the timers 😅 especially the overnight food… it would seem times stay there for 2+ hours 😂

[@awesomesauce2.067]

If a customer gives you a tip you have a right to keep it or put it in the charity box just don't tell your manager you received a tip keep it to yourself if you get one

[@robw5741]

I think the whole tip thing is at just about any place where you're on a register, it's not that they don't want you to have it but moreso that you're dealing with money you could easily take extra, and if loss prevention sees u pocketing money from the til, you'll be fired whether it was meant as a tip or not

the bathroom policy makes sense. people might be asking to use the restroom to get the staff to unlock the doors so they can rob them.

[@jimijames95]

Under no circumstances, if a customer comes up and screams at you that "He did not get a burger with his burger" never reply to him " Did you look under the pickle?" Gets you fired every time.

[@MrSpecify9]

Former worker (Worked both kitchen and service). Lots of thing depend on the location and how the owner wants to operate. 1. Never heard of that. I called him "the clown" 2. Yes, but I thought it was public knowledge. No one in the franchise I was working under would give enough of sh*t to fire anyone for letting someone in after dining room hours. 3. How is this not obvious? We did give cops and emergency workers free coffee (lobby only) in the morning. Just my franchise though. Free food was only given when our location would get "shopped" (inspected) by people from the franchise. 4. Yes no facial hair. Same with the tattoos. Had a manager that had to wear sleeves to cover his tattoos. 5. Well we have instructions on how to assemble stuff and everything on "the line" is in the order that things are added anyway. Breakfast may be an exception since all those things are in a wierd order. (I would go off the illustrated instructions) 6. Yes. That's a food safety thing. McDonald's doesn't want to be liable for cross contamination. Most we could do is sell things separate. I was surprised to see McDonald's advertising things like "land air and sea" on twitter. 7. Don't remember the holding times but that about right. Also if you want fresh fries, just ask. Making fries with no salt is a huge hassle. Helpful hint: If there's a line in the drive-through, fries are likely to be fresh because so many are being sold and more have to be made. If the drive-through is empty, that's when you're more likely to wait because whatever food they have may been sitting there. 8. No person is heavy enough to activate the voice order thing. ?? 9. Yes, but I don't think owners make it a big deal at some places. 10. Yes but most locations have a break room and you can just go on your phone there when business is dead.

[@CraftQueen22]

I was appalled to find out that they don't get their meals for free. I worked at a steak house many years ago & we could get a hamburger or small steak for free for lunch or dinner when we were working. Shame on you McDonald's!!!!

[@samuelrico3673]

You do get free meals but only if you work 6+ hours

[@KKEM641]

I have gotten free food from McDonald's...but it was because they mess up. I was "parked" after going through the drive through window, but they ended up giving my order to someone else. I had to walk in, and was given an extra big breakfast with hot cakes. They also have "forgotten" me while after parking me -- several times as a matter of fact. One time my entire order was refunded, and given extra hash browns.

[@AngelaMastrodonato]

I worked at McDonalds in the early ‘90s and one rule that wasn’t mentioned that I found surprising is I was required to ask, “Do you want fries with that?” Value meals existed but people still ordered stuff without fries back then. I found it unnecessary. I wasn’t going to ask a customer who ordered a value meal if they wanted fries with it when it came with fries. This was also back when McDonalds offered “super-size” and I may have also been required to ask someone if they wanted to supersize their value meal. Those super sizes were insane. You could feed a family of 4 a super sized fries. You would be surprised at how many people never thought to specify size for fries and drink. I remember being concerned that customers would get pissed if I asked too many questions and would just assume customers wanted ketchup and give every customer an entire handful. The McDonalds I worked at didn’t offer self-serve condiments at the time. Sure wish they did.

[@redconvoy]

I asked them if they wanted fries with that just to make them laugh.

[@AngelaMastrodonato]

@@redconvoy that reminds me that as an employee we got 50% off the food, during our breaks during working hours only. I was conscientious of calorie (not as much heath at the time), and would usually only eat a cheeseburger or chicken nuggets with a drink for lunch, but occasionally wanted fries so I would only eat the fries. Employees got creative with the food they ate on breaks too. Before the “McGangbang” and “Air Land and Sea”, one of my co-workers would get pancakes and put the strawberry sundae sauce on them in place of maple syrup.

[@redconvoy]

@@AngelaMastrodonato I should have done that! I bet they would have tasted good with the chocolate sauce too! I worked for McDonalds over 30 years ago. Maybe 36 or 37 years ago (Teen). Back then we got it for free. I am surprised they charged you for the meal even at half off. I used to work in the back too. They had salads like oriental chicken, garden salad, and a cobb type salad. I used to customize salads for employees who asked. I wish salads would make a come back there. I don't blame you for being like that. Having a whole combo meal is like a half a day's calories.

[@AngelaMastrodonato]

@@redconvoy I think I worked there in ‘93 - ‘94 so almost 30 years ago. I started shortly after they increased the price of their senior coffee from free to 25 cents. Maybe they had just started charging employees half price around the same time: considering we were paid minimum wage with no paid time off or any other benefits, charging half price does seem cheap. At least they kept the costs down for the consumer back then.

[@bioscienceacademy4142]

The phone rule makes sense because the surface of the phone is covered in bacteria. Most employees will just hold their phones with their gloves on, and that can contaminate the food...among other things.

[@cyberguardragon7291]

Have also seen people getting denied service while riding a bicycle through the drive-thru. As for the denied accepting tips thing, would not doubt it to just be them not wanting to take any chances. If the cashier's draw comes up short, the camera will show the employee putting money in their pocket. Just do not believe McDonald's would try and go through any effort to differentiate what money came from a customer as a tip and what was from the draw.

[@bigdaddigaming]

It's not just people on registers people have offered lobby people tips and they have to refuse it, as a crew member no one is allowed to take tips

The no free food is crap, all the McDonald's I've worked at if there's an extra sandwich made by accident they always give it away rather than waste it, either to a customer or a crew member If it's an order you can't just go adding things to it unless it's for a manager, a manager can put there order in on the register then go back to the line and ask them to put other things on it and I've seen hundreds of managers do this thousands of times

[@tinarosenberg5781]

The McDonald's i work at will throw it out

[@zmbdog]

They aren't supposed to do that. That's a basic rule across the entire industry. Not just fast food but food distribution in general. Unsellable = inedible. It might even be an FDA regulation, but I can't recall.

To the no free food I was at a McDonald’s as a kid and was a nickel short they made the sundae and was about to give it to me.

I understand why but still threw me off as a kid

We used to eat the leftover breakfast once we switched to lunch hours. Also, I once had a customer force to take a $5 bill and wouldn't leave until I put it in my pocket.

Can you translate that to English?

[@DyspotikOriginal]

No bathroom when the lobby closes makes sense. It's a safety thing

[@loristrout4741]

Okay here is some of the actual rules. If your pants have belt loops you have to wear a belt with them. You can except a tip if you don't care that the store will drop your pay to Waitstaff Pay. Your sandwich is made fresh. There is a holding bin for each kind of burger or fish pattie or Chicken during peak hours the patties are in long solid plastic pans that sit in this machine and the person cooking the actual burgers has to push a button to turn on the timer each time they make new patties. Eggs and bacon also go in the same plastic pans they are cleaned after breakfast shift by the drive-thru person that takes the money in the first window. I cleaned those pans. The back drive-thru person also puts together the kids meal boxes and adds the toy. You can mix and match any food item. But you can't get fries on your burger or breakfast items on lunch sandwiches like a fried egg because you will have to clean the whole grill again otherwise you just scrape it down between sets of patties. Chicken and fries never go in the same oil at the same time. However when the fryer is cleaned they move the oil that had fried fries to the other vat and then new clean oil is put in the fry side. No you could not give food away unless there was a valid reason like a customer having to wait on fish or chicken to cook, you could give an Apple Pie or small soda if they were in side the store. Never gave food away in the drive-thru. I worked all positions but back drive-thru was my favorite as you got to talk to some of the same people every day. The thing I didn't like was the Manager had to come take my place if I had to go to the bathroom. I almost sh*t my pants one day. Another day The Manager hooked a lugie on a customer's car in the drive-thru because she was passed about something. This Manager would scream at customers call them names swear at them. When the lugie was reported by the customer she tried to claim it was me, but I am not of the same Ethnicity. So the customer had to come in and Identify who it was. She got fired that minute.

[@aftersexhighfives]

This must be for corporate stores only because my nearest McDonald's is a privately owned franchise and they let us go in there to go to the bathroom whenever we want. But I also live in a postage stamp of a town where the biggest crime is that one of the neighbors is feeding the deer and the other neighbor is mad. Oh and maybe the highschoolers are getting high behind the library. But ppl don't even lock their doors. So maybe a Metro McDonald's or somewhere with a higher concentration of crime these would be hard steadfast rules but I think that many of the franchise stores are more relaxed. The guy that owns the McDonald's also owns the dairy queen, Zaxby's, Captain D's, Bojangles and Dunkin' donuts in this town too. I'm pretty sure he is from here and when his mother forced him to move home to take care of her; he realized none of his favorite foods were nearby so he... Built them lol. They're old old money. He's a cool guy though. He had to close down his steak and shake. I think the real estate location became more valuable than the business because they tore the whole building down and now they're about to build something else there. Welcome to ADHD land.

Here in Australia they have comps or coupon collectables then don't pay out with them! Many regularly get orders wrong especially with menu log delivery then don't take responsibility - many managers are young with juvenile unprofessional attitudes - they are not monitored for standards.

The hold time thing is true we’re supporting to throw out food after awhile although no one does it because it’s good waste and they get mad when we waste food because there is a food cost and if there’s a franchise they go off of every stores food cost so basically your competing with every store in the franchise owners for everything

I work for McDonald's and just about every fast food place, McDonald's is at the bottom of the pit. Working at Arby's now and the best thing is my coworkers.

[@shannondeoliveira2671]

If the food was made wrong they need to refund the customer and then the food is FREE! No wonder why people do not eat McDonald’s anymore.

[@Mintman83]

Every time I go to the drive thru the person who is in the first window taking the orders is always on their phone, and employees can eat their food on their lunch break just not on the clock.

[@hazelwears8728]

I get a lot of the strict rules that Mc Donald's has their employees adhere to, but they could give their employees free food for lunch (if they don't already). I'm glad they're so strict about the employees hygiene! That said these rules that have to be adhered to(in my opinion)requires HIGHER PAY for the EMPLOYEES! I agree with the narrator that Mc Donald's SHOULD DONATE THE LEFTOVERS TO THE NEEDY as well.

[@michaelterrell]

There are liability issues. They would have no control over how it was handled if donated, but they could be sued if people got sick.

[@hazelwears8728]

@@michaelterrell I see your point. That's why they could have a "liability clause" that said" by giving this donated food to your organization, you understand that McDonald's has no liability for/to anyone who may become sick/ die as a result of your serving McDonald's food to anyone". This would dissolve McDonald's from any and all potential liability/ lawsuits.

As a manager, I can say MOST of these are enforced at our place. Our franchise owners are cool though with facial hair, as long as neckbeards keep the neckbeard groomed, and i've seen crazy moustaches. The Drive-thru, not walk-thru is one I find myself enforcing CONSTANTLY at night. Lobby closes at 10pm, DT stays open until 11/midnight depending on the night. Had customers complain over not being able to come in and order, hence walking up to the speaker. I tell them every time, 'it's called a drive-thru for a reason. No car? No service there'.

[@generositygamer7971]

I once went though on a bicycle, and got served. They said they didn't know if they were allowed or not, because I was the first person to do so. I just said, well it's worth a try, everything else is closed and it's either try or not eat for like 10 hours till everything opens.

[@travist.7279]

There was one time, not long ago, that I got free food at Mc'D's. It was the usual 3-step, drive-thru process---order at speaker, pay at first window, pick up at second window. Well, when I got to the pay window, it was closed, with no one there. I waited and waited, maybe 5-10 minutes. Cars were stacking up behind me, and folks had begun to honk. Finally, I just pulled up to the pick-up window, figuring that I would pay there. Well, they just handed me the food, and told me to have a nice day. Feeling a sudden spasm of honesty, I told them that there had been no one at the pay window. Apparently, that person had walked off the job. This threw their whole system into chaos! With no way to pay at the pick-up window, and their their whole drive-thru system now turning into pandemonium, they just told me, "No charge", and sent me on my way.

Worked in several fast food places and to my knowledge food hold times are mostly enforced by the local health departments, same goes with nail length and some times nail polish. We did get free lunch if you worked at least a six hour shift. Could not except tips.

you can take tips. people control their money.

[@michaelcesco2970]

I can understand the ' No personal tips ' rule at the drive thru window. That person should have to put it in a container so ALL the employees can share. It would be the managers job to divide it equally amongst employees on payday. Any manager caught keeping the tip box for them selves should be fired .

[@pmeehan_3]

My friends and I worked in Mickey Dees decades ago in HS. I used to give tons of food away. Turned my head one time and the shift manager was standing right next to me while I was doing it. He gave me a look and that was all. Never did it again. Didn't get fired either.

[@mchristiansen137]

Shift supervisors and managers are allowed to do "Product checks" pull a burger out of the bin, open it up, look at how it is made, taste test it. Same with McNuggets and fries. When you talked about the nail length, I had to laugh. I worked McD's back in the 80's, we had a employee come in on a Sunday morning, her nails were 2 inches long, she had spent almost $240 on them on Saturday, and refused to remove them, she was written up and sent home for three days, and terminated on the 4th day. But yeah, those were pretty much the standards back then as well. We never did menu "hacks" for the "secret" menu, because there is no such thing. Hell, we used to make a chicken patty big mac for a certain customer.

[@BigJeremyBeyer]

Having been a manager at McDonald's (a McManager) I can confirm that this is pretty accurate. Though most managers aren't quite as fire happy as some shown here. However, I never heard anything about "Ronnie".

[@BlazionFire16]

So, the McDonald's I work at allows all first responders to get free food as a "promo". It's our way of showing our thanks. Employees are also allowed one free crew meal of anything on the menu for a 8 hour shift (9+ hours grants two free meals). Just want to throw it out there

[@Tobins_throwbacks]

So what restaurants will allow you to use the restroom when only the drive-thru is open? From what I've seen everyone does this.

[@damonmcknight]

Most of these rules aren't "bizarre" in any way and make logical sense. I've not worked at a McDonald's but at a lot of other restaurants over the years and they've all had variants of most of these rules. 1. McDonald's specific, I'm skipping. 2. Two part answer, the one I'd argue more important is that it's a safety issue. Crimes like a robbery are less likely to happen during broad daylight and peak hours while the establishment is fully staffed. At night when the lobby closes and most of the staff go home except for the handful of closing employees who are cleaning are all that's left would be the sensible time to rob the store since there are no customers, fewer employees to worry about, etc. And after closing the lobby there's a lot of cleaning to do before closing and I wouldn't wanna clean the toilet a second time before close because someone decided to take a big dump in it. 3. Generally speaking, yeah, though where I've worked it was more case-by-case and within reason and the discretion of the manager I was working with. 4. Food safety and sanitation rules and regulations. And having a dress code and standards for some kind of a professional image is basically a given at any job, restaurant or not, unless you're a brick layer or other laborer and it doesn't matter what you look like as long as you know how to lay bricks. 5. I've never worked at a restaurant that didn't have a spec chart right above the make-line. There are a lot of menu items to remember and while doable that takes time to learn them all, so it's good for just helping memory and for training new employees to have the specifications clearly laid out for each item. And customers want a consistent experience at a restaurant so it helps to be able to glance at the chart as-needed or have it available to look at. 6. Depending on the items cross-contamination can be a thing... And look above to consistent specifications. I don't give a toss what a customer does to the food after they get it since it's their food, but while it's behind the counter it's my food and has to be done to specific standards. 7. Another quality control measure. The food tastes the best and has the best texture while it's fresh and if it sits under a heat lamp or other kind of warmer it goes really soft and soggy if it's supposed to be crispy and if it's meat eventually it dries until it's hard as a rock as the moisture evaporates. And the longer food sits it starts to spoil (even if very slowly) so you don't want food just sitting warm for hours on end starting. 8. The one restaurant I worked at with a drive through had a sensor that a car or bike had to trip for the microphones to go hot and to ding the window's headset that someone was about to order. A human body on its own isn't able to trip that sensor. And let's be real, 90% of every person I've ever seen drive is stupid and someone is gonna swing that corner way too fast and some guy on foot would be splattered against the wall. Nobody wants that because there's a lot of paperwork involved in recording workplace incidents for minor injuries. I don't wanna imagine the paperwork and liability issues for someone being human roadkill over a Big Mac. 9. If a clearly written rule is in place, understandable, but I've not had a manager get mad if someone was tipped at fast food places I've worked at. It's not common to tip fast food workers anyway, so it doesn't happen often. 10. Yeah, it looks unprofessional when it's busy. And technically speaking as far as sanitation and food safety goes phones and personal objects are considered unsanitized objects and after handling them you're supposed to wash up again. In practice at places I've worked as long as the customer didn't see it and you weren't obviously on your phone in front of customers basically everyone top to bottom of the team hierarchy has used their phones. And after the lobby closes for the night the rule becomes even less enforced at each restaurant I've worked at and people start listening to music, podcasts, etc as they clean, maybe take a breather to message back their moms or whoever. In the breakroom is where phones are supposed to be, but I'm sure that boils down to manager's mood and discretion to turn a blind eye even if the rules say not to. But again, the reasons why you shouldn't have your phone out do make sense. Basically all of these rules pointed out in the video are applied to every restaurant in some way or another for a very good reason. The only thing I learned from this video is that the presenter, script writer, or whoever was in charge of this video clearly has no restaurant experience.

As someone with a McDonald's side hustle, I can tell you some of these might as well be myths. 1. I'm not sure about this one because Ronald is old news at this point and nobody mentioned him. 2. I was never on a shift where the bathroom was closed, so I don't know. 3. You are allowed a free meal for every 4 hours you work that day, though you can't upgrade to large. Also I'm pretty sure the person fired over the cheese slice did a lot before that and that was just the excuse. 4. This one is definitely real. 5. You won't get fired unless you constantly screw this one up, but you would be more likely to just be taken off of grill duty. 6. I'm not sure about this one but it's probably true. I haven't heard anyone try to order one though. 7. I was told to assume someone forgot to set the timers. The real throw out window is double to triple those timers. 8. This is true. 9. I'm not sure about this one. 10. This is definitely true when you are visible to customers, but looking at your phone while working at the same time isn't a big deal out of their sight if you are doing dishes for example.
