Is not letting guys be cashiers a corporate rule, or just in that particular McDonald's? What's the reasoning behind that?

  There is a male cashier at my local McDonalds, so it can't be a universal rule today. I think it sounds more like a dumb quirk of one store than corporate policy.

    Yeah, I don't think it's corporate policy. I don't think it was corporate policy even decades ago when I worked there. Probably illegal now. When we complained about it the manager said "If you came here to buy a meal, who would you rather see?" As a teenage boy I couldn't argue with that logic.

  The manager probably got a bonus for upsells. High school girls are better at doing that. I worked at a coffee/bagel place in a mall across from a chain casual restaurant (Think Pizza Uno/Ruby Tuesday). The manager's compensation was based not only on sales/margin, but the average table occupancy. This one guy hit his number by hiring tall girls as hostesses, getting them to dress up (they tended to look like they were heading to a party) and having them stand in the doorway. Basically, they were a fishing net -- it was amazing to watch, we could tell when he was working based on the crowd.
