These are the things you shouldn’t do as advised by a McDonald’s staff!
If we have temporarily run out of an item on the menu, don’t cry about it and make stupid comments about how “this never happens at burger king!” either order something else or get the hell out!
- If something is out-of-order, get over it. The world is an imperfect place and McDonalds is not immune to that.
If I’m on my break and eating in the lobby, don’t ask me to fetch you BBQ sauce. Just because I’m still in uniform does not mean I’m on the clock.
- If you don’t speak English well, bring an interpreter… if not don’t get upset when your order gets messed up.
- Don’t confuse franchises! We don’t biggie size; we don’t have onion rings or nachos, and no…You may not “have it your way”.
- Don’t roll your eyes at me if you just paid me eight dollars and forty-three cents in change and I’m counting to verify…it’s my register and i’ll do it my way.
- If you don’t see tomatoes on the sandwich in the picture don’t fucking ask me to take them off. The bigmac has been around for ages… it doesn’t have tomatoes…
- Don’t start handing me change after I’ve already totaled your order, opened my register and started counting your change. It’s not my fault you were too slow…just take what I give you!
- Keep your sweaty, wrinkly bills to yourself…along with your sticky change.
- Don’t fucking ask me if your sauce is in the bag if you never asked for it in the first place.
- When I hand you your food.. And say “have a nice day!” you better respond with a smile, a “thanks, you too” or at least acknowledge my existence.. It’s called being polite people..
- Don’t scream at me if I ask you to repeat your order.. We’re talking about cheeseburgers , not missiles..So calm down!
- Don’t come into the lobby two minutes before we close. Chances are ive already cleaned ,and it will only cause me to do unspeakable things to your (already stale) food.
- If you ask me for a moment to decide , don’t ask me “are you ready” you needed more time – not me!
- If you have a “turbo diesel” truck or an abnormally loud vehicle..How about turning off the engine genius? Instead of trying to order over the noise .. I guarantee you’ll find it much easier to understand each other.
- Don’t act offended when I check your bills to see if they are counterfeit. Everywhere else you bring it, they’re going to do the same thing.
- Please don’t order a combo and then when I ask what kind of drink you tell me you don’t want one. That defeats the whole purpose of ordering a fucking combo idiot!
- When you pull to the window and hear/see me taking another order.. Don’t start talking to me about your order you rude whore.
- After you pay, proceed to the next window if no one is in front of you.. Our business is over.
- Listen when I say “your receipt will be at the next window” don’t sit there and stare at me after I close the window.
- Please learn what time breakfast ends and lunch starts. No .. I don’t serve burritos all day. This is not jack-in-the-box.
- If you’re a senior citizen , don’t think you can drive past the speaker and say you forget to order.. Go back around like everyone else! You already get discounts ..What more special favors do you expect?!
- For the LOVE OF GOD, if you know you should..Then cover your damn self up! Just because its drive-thru doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dress decent still.
- If your card is declined.. Don’t ask why and assume it’s our fault. Put some damn money in the bank cheap ass.
- Do realize that I can hear everything you say from the moment you pull-up to the speaker till you drive off. So if you’re talking shit , don’t act so surprised when I’m not exactly friendly when you get to the window.
- If I’m busy taking an order, don’t put your money on the ledge and not expect me to do the same thing with your change.
- Does this look like toys-r-us? Who cares if your kid’s got 10 of the same toy already.. That telling me you don’t feed them at home enough
- I fucking know what PLAIN means.. Don’t feel the need to include that means “meat and cheese only!”
- You are about 10 feet from the window when you are at the speaker..Don’t ask me what you total is when I told you once AND it was on the screen.
- Don’t order a large ice cream cone.. They’re all one size.
- Don’t come through drive thru after your mid life crisis in your new sports car.. And try to impress me with your 1987 pick up lines.
- Don’t come through drive thru and then tell the manager at the 2ndwindow that I was rushing you. Drive thru is SUPPOSED to be fast.
- Don’t ask me if we do cash back, this isn’t a bank.
- Don’t order free water and then sit in front my window and ask what the hold up is..You aren’t paying for it anyway..
- If you ordered a burger without pickles and they somehow ended up there anyway.. Just pick them off because that’s all im going to do when you bring it back to me to “fix it”.
- CLEAN. UP. YOUR. MESS . Those trash cans are conveniently located next to the exits for a reason.
- If you are the passenger of the car or in the backseat and you know that you don’t talk very loud.. Don’t try to order for everyone in the car..
- Please quiet your kids and other passengers from trying to order all at the same time. I can only listen to one person at a time.
- If you let go of your money before i grab it, or you drop it while I am handing it to you.. Don’t look at me like you really expect me to get it for you..Besides you’re closer.
- What’s the point of “easy ice”?? Our ABS machine doesn’t even have that setting. Either order no ice or take what you get.
- If you wouldn’t talk like you have SHIT in your mouth, I could understand you the first time…
- If you see me having a conversation for a few seconds with the car in front of you.. Don’t be an asshole and honk your horn.. You will get your food soon enough, chances are it i sent even bagged yet.
DON’T TALK SHIT as you are leaving the first window. I still have another window I can catch you at..And trust me I WILL.!
Soooo true. I’m an assistant manager for a McDoanlds, and I hear you 100%!!!
Indeed, to hell with people that say the job is easy. There’s a whole lot more than 43 I’d say, but I couldn’t have done It better myself.
I totally agree with all of that but yer there are probably like 100 others!! lol but really great job on this! yer the job is soo not easy and everyone who thinks it is should get a job here! grrr!!!! anyway yer this lady came to me today at like 10:40 and we were run out of breakfast stuff (and anyway breakfast finishes at 10.30) and she started fukn yellin at me nd shit that she had been waiting for ten minutes and now she culdnt buy her fukn breakfast… yer i got shit mad when we replayed the security tape and found out she had been in the store for a grand total of 2 minutes and 16 seconds.
hahahaha this is hilarious.. i am seriously considering printing this off and bringin it into work..
madeline: i totally just had some lady do that to me like last week.. she knew when breakfast ended.. a smart person would have chosen to go in before breakfast ended.. unstead to waiting and getting”leftovers”
Give me a friggin break man.
How bout when the computer is down and you tell me (the customer) that I have to wait 10-20 minutes til the comp comes back online to order food when all you got to do is take a pencil and a piece of paper and write my order down and add up the cost on paper or with a calculator.
When did we become so dependent on computers that we cant take an order and add it up without them?
you fxcking dipshit.
our REGISTERS onli temporaily break down
cuz all you fat asses dnt give it time
to restore itself as you demand your
greasy shit there and now.
and if we wrote it down, chance is
we’ll hav to look at the price board because
even tho we work there, we dnt know all
the fxcking prices like you fat asses do.
annd then to make things better, we’ll hav to run around and tell back area your order
and then 2 seconds later you’ll want to change it. and if the drive thro REGISTER is down
well SHUT IT THE WHOLD D/T DOWN.
and then the majority of you fat dipshits will
hold up your card, not looking at us enter
your card, look up and glare and say its not working.
WASTING OUR TIME
becuase you couldn’t wait 5 minutes.
HEAR THAT?? it takes 5 FXCKING MINUTES
then you waste 20 minutes becuase your a fxcking MORON
thank you
hav a nice day.
FYI David, the reason why we cant take your order when the registers are not working is because the cash cannot open, and therefore our drawer will be down.. ok.. understood? and why not go elsewhere genius?
This list is extremely rude and most of these are really stupid.
Such as “If you don’t speak English well, bring an interpreter…” There are more than 37 million immigrants in the United States and not all of them speak English, many of them don’t have enough money to afford more expensive food. And seeing as McDonalds is overly advertised as cheap food, you should all respect that.
“Don’t order a large ice cream cone.. They’re all one size.” Dont expect people to know that, were not the ones that work there.
“If you wouldn’t talk like you have SHIT in your mouth, I could understand you the first time…” Don’t you know any one with a fucking speaking diablilty? They can’t exactly control how they speak. I have one but I’m glad it makes you angry that you can’t understand me.
“That defeats the whole purpose of ordering a fucking combo idiot!” That was just the nicest thing I’ve ever heard.
“If you ordered a burger without pickles and they somehow ended up there anyway.. Just pick them off because that’s all im going to do when you bring it back to me to “fix it”.” This happened with one of my friends, he is allergic to pickles and got hives from eating the burger you just took the pickles off of. Do you even realise there are reasons people do these things? Your a fucking dickshit.

Not many people have a back-up Plan or a “Plan B” for when that sort of stuff happens – and you are normally not staffed to deal with these situations. – Fair enough if you have a customer an hour, but when you go through like 200 an hour and during your rush peaks and your computers go down with like around 20 of those orders, and you have to repeat it all – tell the crew out the back (Constantly..) It sucks for both sides
“When did we become so dependent on computers that we cant take an order and add it up without them?”
It’s that type of century we live in – people (customers) want speed and workers want it easier to perform (and not having to read messy writing)and to do that we have to rely on this type of tech I think if we lost people for a certain amount of time there’d be a massive chrisis..
Also, McDonalds is so large that it’s built of Areas so when something goes wrong — you’ll have to pass it through every area to get it right..
Oh god this is all so true. I work on the Highway, and During peak hours we already have The Store manager up our asses with take a second order etc. Fuck off, Managers. you are standing beside the bin Waiting for an order, While we are racing back and forth with 3 orders in our hand, AND having to deal with customers.
God I hate my job.
There was one time this druggie who we can’t refuse to serve came in and ordered her food..ate it and then grabbed me when I was out on lobby and told me to fetch the manager because she had not had her food. I went to the girl that served her and she told me the woman had her food so I got the manager. The woman started shouting then crying till she got her money back..ugh…
I start work tomorrow for mcdonalds, and my brother works for kfc so I completely agree, people are ignorant dicks. Once a chav woman made my bro get the manager because he wouldn’t heat her kids milk up, there is posters everywhere saying they can’t do it.
