how often do people spit in the food?

Because managers get pissy at you if you do. I used to just give it anyway because people would inevitably ask for it anyway.

If you did that and someone caught you, you would be fired and probably brought to court and charged. The company doesn't want to be sued because some dumb fuck got angry at a shitty customer.

not that guy but I worked there and you sort of stop seeing the stuff you are 'assembling' as food in a way. I always treated the food like I was making it for my mom but some people were like desensitized or something after making 100 burgers an hour for a while. especially the full time adult crew.

Maybe it's a generational thing but my reply to "I worked at McDonalds" is along the lines of "Who didn't?"

>>17045061
Only some breakfast stuff is heating up in the microwave. Everything else is cooked.

>>17045086
As a general rule the line (cooks) don't give the slightest fuck how you treated the people at the register, or even know. McDonalds is pretty fast paced work most of the time and you don't pay attention. That said we had a new black kid once spit in a cops coffee. He left unemployed and in handcuffs.

>>17045135
McDonalds entire concept is they are all exactly the same so it doesn't matter where. As for when it HAS been awhile, over 10 years.

>>17045138
Sure.

>>17045185
I would never recommend it to anyone. I will seriously do armed robbery on McDonalds before I work there again.

>>17045206
Ameeeeerrrrrriiicaaaaa!

>>17045234
Because I don't give a shit and most people don't either.

>>17045249
Almost never. As said before the cooks have no reason to and there is absolutely zero tolerance policy for it.

>>17045246
Sometimes. It's quick and easy but the quality can be absolute dogshit and it's not even close to "cheap" like it used to be.

>>17045256
If you have the shitty luck of ordering pretty much anything fried right after we run out it's going to be about 15 minutes plus the minute or so it takes to slap it together.

>>17045514
You get a discount on one order per day and can typically make the food yourself. So I pay for a hamburger but said hamburger has three patties six pieces of cheese ect ect ect. There is a limit to that though. Free 'water' all shift, and said water is whatever drink you want. No free food, you get caught snagging a fry you'll be fired.

You're more likely to get what you ordered than not but pretty high. Saying "no this" or "extra that" is fairly normal but you're basically creating a new burger and when your working an assembly line that's sort of annoying.

At BK there was a chick that liked me but I liked someone else. She ended up going out with a guy and said she have her first blow job or whatever and she was apparently pretty good at it. I kept teasing her and telling her she probably sucked and it kind of went back and fourth until she got bold and said she'd show me. I was kind of taken aback but I'd always crack jokes about it and eventually we were in the backroom and she was like "whip it out" and I got my dick sucked for like fifteen seconds.

I don't know if it was just the circumstance or if it was actually pretty good, but that 15 seconds might have been the best blow job I've gotten and I've been with my current girlfriend for like seven years now.

Well, if they are teenagers they are always super horny so very. If they are adults they probably wound up here because they are ultra whores with ten half black kids to feed so very. Chic-Fil-A is a little different though because they are super christian. You'd think this is just marketing but the owner controls who gets to franchise pretty strictly and shift managers aren't too far removed from someone who got vetted as the Right Kind of militant evangelical.

They killed the folded egg up here in leafland about 10 years ago and when I mention it to people they act like I'm crazy and say it never existed. It used to be used almost exclusively on their McGriddles but now they only serve them with round eggs. I think there was a transitional period where they were serving old folded eggs because the week before it disappeared I remember getting a bunch of really bad almost dried up eggs on my McGriddles.

Also why the FUCK do we not have fucking breakfast biscuits up here? Fucking Tim Hortons has breakfast biscuits but I stopped eating them because they also switched from using a seasoned folded egg to round eggs and it wrecks the fucking sandwich to no end.
