43 things a McDonalds Staff would like you to know!
Posted on August 7th, 2007 by Felix Ker
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.!
