McDonald's POV: Lunch | Episode 3

[@mrbizzaros]

I started working at McDonald's one month ago. Gonna be honest, these videos inspired me. I didn't really consider fast food because I've heard stories and people always told me that they're the worst, especially McDonald's. But since starting I've actually enjoyed it a lot. Making burgers especially. There's just something satisfying about the whole process of making the food, assembling it, and sending it to the next person to put the orders together. My coworkers and managers are all nice and helped me greatly when I started, even when I made mistakes (and boy did I make some). I thank you for these awesome videos showcasing exactly what the McDonald's experience is, rather than having to hear another horror story of mistreatment from other people my age. I've enjoyed pretty much the whole experience so far.

It all comes down to coworkers and managers. You could have ur dream job and end up hating it because of the people around you

As a DoorDasher, I love getting orders at McDonalds in my area. The are fast, efficient, and understand we are working an order with a timer going. In a sense, we are bringing you more customers (aka: revenue) for those you cannot get to your store. Great Job!

[@pirategamer6630]

EXACTLY. We have VERY strict timers at McDonald's. We're REALLY efficient about following them depending on which crew's there that day.

@@we5xz-1902 I don’t work at McDonald’s but I do work fast food in a truck stop. Though there are plentyyyy of jobs that are more difficult by far it is pretty demanding. Plus on top of doing the same thing all day you have to listen to ppl talk sh*t on your hard work. It isn’t very dangerous but it is hard on you🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Ataraxia462]

After watching a few of these videos, I love all the little tools and gadgets that help with the efficiency. Such as the McNugget scoop and the ketchup and mustard dispensers. There’s something really satisfying about having all the wrappers and boxes organized and ready to go in their little cubby holes lol

[@eclogites]

also really funny getting 10 piece nuggies that someone lined up in the box when he just scoops them in

[@thebeard8292]

That was one hell of a tactical reload man

[@JinOrbital]

Remember its faster so switch to your tongs than reloading.

[@mickbrown942]

The tools, packaging, dispensers, and trays all have been specifically designed for each task for efficiency. Who would’ve known? Crazy. I kinda want a filet o’ fish now..

[@BlueyZoomy]

I'm craving a 10 piece nugget now

[@pirategamer6630]

What's funny is the nugget trays can double as a hotcake tray by removing the metal grating on top (we have to wash it ofc)

[@pirategamer6630]

But I usually put the gratings on top during changeover (transition from breakfast to lunch)

[@Karcha_In_SD]

I used to work at McDonald’s. I’m glad I worked there because it helped me create my work ethic but it was toxic as hell, managers would yell at us, blame us for the reasons the restaurant sucked even though they didn’t expect anything from us, I had multiple panic attacks due to its fast paste nature. But it was a job and one I’ll have plenty interesting stories to tell.

[@SilkyVRC]

@@azurerisus4256 I'm sorry I didn't see your message until now. Honestly, stay calm and relaxed, even if you feel it get overwhelming. While they want you to be accurate, precision isn't fully expected right out the gate. It takes time to build up a pace and to be good at what you do. So my advice? Just listen to how they teach you and do your absolute best. Some people have good managers, some have bad, luckily for me, mine were good but less hands on so I handled the biggest part of the work.
