I had a slightly different experience. In high school my first job was corporate Mackers in a Walmart. At 15 I was somehow the second most responsible person working there.. After high school I did another stint at a franchise location. The owner had an ace manager in there to "turn around" the store. Everything was ship shape and above board; top rating on store review was the expectation.
As committed as everyone was the one thing I would have seriously cracked down on was... Wait for it... Pulling the fries out early. A couple of the managers didn't have the stomach for waiting the full time when cars were stacked up. They were mistakenly prioritizing the service time (which is usually sacred TBH!) over the quality of the french fries. This is a huge mistake and Mcdonalds has very tight lifetime limits on fries for a reason; aint nobody wants undercooked or stale fries.
I always dropped my own fries for my free meal, and would often invite people in to purchase fries while I was there so they could be done right. A 1/2, or ideally 1/4, basket cooks the best and most evenly at the McDonalds prescribed cooking times IMHO. Full baskets without a cooking time adjustment would result in fries that are not quite so cooked properly.
- koolba 9y agoIs “Mackers” McDonalds? I’ve never heard that nickname before. We mainly use “Mickey Dees”.
- Rapzid 9y agoI did a stint in New Zealand; picked up some of the slang :)
- Nition 9y agoFor the record in NZ although we do say that, we usually spell it 'Maccas'.
- Rapzid 9y agoSpelling was never my strong suite ;) Nor was avoiding picking up slang in NZ that was later pointed out to me to be racial slurs :| Nobody ever told me about ol' uncle Rangi!
- inferiorhuman 9y agoYeah but with the accent it's probably spelt Mackers.
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoThe timing for the drive through made our life very difficult at the McDonald's I worked at. Managers would frequently clear orders not yet finished off of the screen just so the system registered a faster time completed. We would then have to carry around the receipt to try and figure out what the person ordered. In the worst of cases we'd have to pass the receipt to the grill area to get food made. All of our drive through times were complete bullshit because of this. Even during slow times where we'd have just a car every few minutes managers would IMMEDIATELY clear them off as they just need to "remember" the order. Which, as you can guess, increased wrong order complaints but those are also not sent to corporate so they never cared.
