Well Sup Forums I started my first day at MC and I fucking hated it. Here's why.
Day 1
>Walk in talk to my new boss.
>Wait about ten minutes to have boss show me how to check in.
>3/10 trainer lady walks up and shows me how to work the back window (the one you pay at).
>After 30 minutes of watching her do it im allowed to get money from my first customer.
>40 something overweight black guy pulls up and pays with a 20 for a 3.50 dollar meal. (As a side note fuck all of you who do this.)
>After I give him his change he shoves the receipt back in my face.
>"I Don't Want This" he almost spits at me.
>"Oh...sorry sir have a nice-" MFW he already drove off.
>I turn to the trainer lady and she just shrugs.
>"Yeah, most people don't want their receipt."
>Trainer lady takes over with busy period until I get the hang of things/she got off and then its just me.
>For 5 hours.
>Doing the same thing over and over and over.
>Not allowed to leave my station because there is no-one else to take my place.
>Phone was dead so I have nothing to do when customers aren't pulling up.
>Just sitting there watch cars pull up taking their money and giving them change.
>It gets to the point where I can't even keep up the smile.
>I look and feel like shit.
>One customer makes a bid deal out of it saying that im being a dick because im not flashing a big toothy grin.
>Then I get an idea, channeling my inner angsty teen I say.
>"Mam if you think my depression is getting in the way of my work performance I could get the manager for you."
>Dumb Cunt looks like she kicked a puppy.
>"N-no you're fine."

It honestly wouldn't have been so bad if I wasn't ONLY working the register, the people were nice, most of the customers were understanding when I screwed up.
Right now all I can do is pray to the Gods that the same thing doesn't happen again
>Phone was dead so I have nothing to do when customers aren't pulling up.
Imagine what it must have been like to work fast food in the 80s and 90s.
Welcome to the working world user!
Enjoy your stay until you die!
How about you clean up instead of being on your phone. Unless you want the keep doing entry level work like a peasant.
you're a fucking retard.
Hey OP, I feel you man. I work in retail and I get those types of fucking customers as well. You really just want to go on a full rant but then realise you can't or else you lose your shitty damn job @_@. Anyways, hang in there and if things gets worse quit that shit! LOL. - user
Get into retail OP.fast food is shit
Find work in a retail store, 10 times better than fucking fast food and they always hire, especially in this time of the year.
>Get into retail
You a cashier or stocker ?
This. All aboard the suicide train!
>wah wah a guy paid with a 20
>wah wah responsibily is interrupting my texting time
>wah wah stupid fag customers forcing me to operate a cash till
>wah wah i'm too autistic for social interaction
kys yourself
It's better than fast food. Shit, id rather stock then wash dishes
Lol. You better be in high school faggot or else this is hilarious.
Dear God I feel lucky now.
And my drinking problem starts now
I wasn't allowed to I asked and was specifically told not to leave the window.
I don't disagree.
Thanks for your sympathy.
its my first job and they were the only people who called back I would have picked anywhere else if I had the option
Cashier
it's just some kid that spun the story during recess and couldn't wait to post when she got home.
stop taking shit so seriously.
Hey bud I'm a supporting department for people services which is a d1 don't worry the first week is the worst I've been with mcdicks for a year and two months as I love/hate it I hate it because it's a shit stressful Job but I love it because of the people I work with stick with it man it's a good learning experience it teaches you a lot and trust me I've had some crazy fucking people come threw the drive threw and counter before I know how it goes it's disgusting how insane people are. But best of luck to you!
Post area code, i'll find you work.
same pay scale kiddo.
aspire to be more than what a boarder jumping beaner has for a job.
You need to snort coke or smoke meth before each shift so you can act like you're overjoyed to be there. You need to see the Mc See, faggot, just like that training video. The good news is if you do this, you won't have to do it long. You'll be dead in a few months, no longer than a year.
If you bitch this much about stupid shit like that I can't even imagine what you must be like to hang out with
Grow up and get over it or get another job
Woo woo! Chugga chugga, chugga chugga, chugga chugga, chugga chugga...
>get moony

No wonder you still work at mctarded
>As a side note fuck all of you who do this
I feel for you OP. But I don't always have small bills in my wallet for small purchases. Don't fucking hate on people not having a 5 available
Skip the retail cuckwork altogether. Find a plumber/electrician who will take you as an apprentice and start right out at $15 an hour. 5 years from now you'll be making $50 an hour, at least.
>wah wah
>mcjob sucks
huh, thanks for sharing.
>McDonalds
>dishes
i'm guessing a college education is not part of your past or future.
good luck kiddo.
Yep, fucking OP. You entitled piece of shit, crying about having to work. Fu-ck you OP
Welcome to the wonderful world of food service. It's the same for everyone else. What are you, like 16?
they do wash the microwave plates the food sits in retard.
>wahh customers are big mean poopy pants and slightly inconvenienced me :((((((
we could be giving immigrants these shit jobs and giving our own citizens free education to get good jobs, but no, immigration and socialism are scary
Yeh I used to wash dishes. Easy fucking shit. Yeh you can be busy and work your arse off but generally it's very crusiey
McDonald's was my first job. Def one of the worst i've ever had. Your customers, coworkers, and managers treat you like shit. Standing in one spot for 8 hours at a time. Made me a better man and harder worker.
>Wouldn't trade it for the world
Fuck a job. Get that county check. Let the taxpaying wagecucks pay for your shit.
...
lol at Americans feeling like people should have to suffer to justify their existence.
>Millions rely on fast food for meals every single day
>Quite literally the backbone of society, feeding all those people
>They should starve to death in abject suffering as they do this
Slavery is deeply ingrained in this culture.
>Made me a better man and harder worker.
thank you!
Put in more overtime, wageboy. I need my check.
You should find what you can do to go above and beyond. They said just stay at window? Then make every customer interaction a good one. Organize your drawer and keep bills facing same way. Wipe down the fucking window, and clean stuff in your little area between customers. Just put forth a tad bit of effort and you can get promoted there. I see some dumb looking managers working at McDonald's.
Yeah, might want to try to suck off parents tit for a while, I would quit that stupid fucking job
I respect anyone who works, no matter the job. No worries, OP, entry-level jobs are just that, a stepping stone to something better. You're already 100 times better than the nigger sitting at home collecting welfare.
>mad over breaking a twenty for $3.50
you are just a lazy ass fuck who has no math skills I take it. You obviously don't have a bank account, or ever used an ATM. Nearly all of them pay out in twenties. If you go to a bank, you are likely to leaving with mostly twenties.
All you have to do is give the man a 1, a 5, a 10, and 2 quarters.
The people you really should hate are those who use a McDonalds as a Bank and demand nothing but 1s or 5s. Or hand you a 100 to change.
Your dumbass got pissed off over a twenty. Your future is going to suck ass.
Also, your management is retarded to put a new hire on a register when they obviously never worked behind one before.
Keep washing dishes until you somehow become the CEO of McDonald's or some other stupid bullshit the majority of Americans for some reason believe still happens.
People vastly underestimate how goddamn fucking brain dead Mcdonalds customers can be. You arent just catering to trash, you're catering to the lowest possible rung of th god forsaken ladder. A girl asked me where spinach comes from the other day... Another had never heard of hitler or ww2 in general.
These people expect you to be inhumanly ecstatic to be working a shit job for almost no pay, meanwhile to ypur manager, your are the most expendable piece of equipment they can purchase. You are the most unimportant thing in their universe and they make sure you know that.
Keep at it until you find another job. Its not bad work, just alot of it for no pay with 0 training and a metric ton of teenage drama from teens straight out of highschool with absolutely no job experience of any kind, leaving the poor souls who actually work to pick up all the slack...
Kill yourself yourself? Is that what you're trying to say here?
This
kek Miggy Deez managers cap out at like $13 an hour. No one wants that job.
Honestly why are people even still working at McD? I should order at a kiosk and the food made by a robot. I pay with a card at the kiosk or it takes bills.
Just have a couple people there to do QA on the robots and to clean up I guess.
Human labor is still cheaper than robots for medium difficulty tasks?
Honest question here...
To qualify for public assistance you have to be working, or actively searching for work.
>those who use a McDonalds as a Bank and demand nothing but 1s or 5s.
that does not happen.
>Or hand you a 100 to change.
not a register on the planet should have less than the amount to change a 100 dollar bill in it.
a 100 dollar bill exists. account for it.
I respect your double-dubs, but your post is the most naive shit I've seen all day.
The only people who profit from robot labor are the people who own the robots and the owners of the business using them. People dont always benefit from taking people out of the equation
This hurt my head to read, no wonder you're still at McFucks
Use some fucking punctuation
Ya that is what I am saying is that Mcdonalds Corp should want to minimize human labor as much as possible.
And honestly I would rather order my chocolate dipped cone and have a robot make it. I want zero human interaction at McDonalds really.
Do you pay taxes? If so, get ready to pay for all these worker's welfare once they are out of a job. Personally, I would rather these people get kept off the streets and their employers pay them, as opposed to unemployed niggers smoking blunts in the streets and passing out in a pile of watermelon rinds and KFC buckets.
>The majority of the general public thinking automation of shit-tier jobs is a good thing
Sure, if you're the CEO of the company. Otherwise, get the wallet out. You got taxes to pay.
Except I've worked in social services for the past 12 years and have first-hand experience, and you're literally just spouting some bullshit you read from some redneck conservative FB page. You do not decide one day you don't feel like working anymore and stroll down to welfare and get handed a check. It does not work that way.
>thinks saying 'kiddo' makes him sound more mature
I'm not even the guy you were replying to but holy fuck you're autistic.
Well OP, you can always start taking out your frustration by having cum on your hands while touching food or people's change.
not the dude you replied to, but for a shit ton of assholes claiming back pain and opiate addicts it is quite literally working that way.
>>get moony
>>get edoocadion
>>stort boosines
the most mature thing you've seen today?
somehow my post was worse?
good luck to you too.
I did this job as a teenager OP. People are always pissed off when they're hungry (remember that). It is probably the worst job you can do for the money, sucking dicks would be better. Quit immediately if you value your mental health. Don't wait and then remember this a year down the line when you're fucking stuck there.
Also, steal as much hot fudge sauce / big mac sauce / m&m's as you can whilst there. People pay good money for big mac sauce.
>Claiming back pain and opiate addicts
You don't "claim" back pain and get handed a check. Stop believing what the guy holding down the barstool next to you claims. These people don't know what they are talking about. You need a doctor to sign off on it, meaning you had X-rays done and there is legitimately something broken in your back that will prevent you from working. Something that cannot be corrected by surgery. Non-manual positions (desk work) are also considered before a person is given payment. You don't just "claim back pain" and get a payout.
Also, the average disability payment is around $600 a month. So yeah, not really something anyone should aspire to want to do. That doesn't even cover rent in most places.
So basically, shut the fuck up. Your regurgitating shit that has no basis in reality. I've dealt with this shit first-hand for years.
I hate people. I hate people with every fiber of my being, with every cell in my fucking body, but that doesnt change the fact that for our economy to function in any sense of the term, we have to have people doing bullshit jobs like Mcdonalds. Noone profits when everything is automated. Look at the economic state we're in now? There are already so few jobs that grown ass adults are ha ing to work along side highschoolers flipping burgers. As much as Id like to buy a mcflurry from a robot that wont ask me 500 company required questions, it will hurt more than it helps. Instant gratification for the sake of convenience does not a strong economy bolster.
I like you!
>Your regurgitating shit that has no basis in reality
you and a band of doctors can't prove with all the science in the world a person does not have back pain, that's a fact.
the drug addicts know this and exploit the loophole.
>I've dealt with this shit first-hand for years.
so have I.
there is a reason the usa prescribes 80% of the worlds pain killers and you can't dispute that fact.
goodnight.
Dude we already pay for lots of McDonalds employees health care, food stamps, and other welfare. Most of them fall below poverty level and are part time.
Oh I do think new gen automation will be a huge problem for our economy, especially in the US where we really don't make things but provide services, but what I am asking is WHY doesn't McD Corp (who doesn't give a flying fuck about its employees or Joe Taxpayer) push for it? I think it would help there bottom line.
Again, I am NOT saying we should automate everything and put low wage workers on the street. I am saying WHY isn't it happening though?
I have read McD's is experimenting with kiosks at some locations though.
OP fucked up applying to a lame Mc Donalds,
went to a drive through once and I saw a 9/10 girl working there.
If I didn't own my own business and didn't have a college education I would of applied just to fuck her. Hell I might still apply....
Feel your pain OP, I worked at McDonalds from grade 9 through 12 then another 5 years while at school and past graduation. I quit after getting a job programming and moved to IT and haven't looked back. Give it a chance, you might get moved around to something else you like. Give it a chance OP, and good luck. Also feel free to ask any questions in general I'll keep this tab open in case.
When I am level 9000 stoned I get a cone from the golden arches and it is always this little hottie working that first window like OP was talking about. I lose my shit and look like ass at 2am all pie eyed but she always gives me the "lets fuck in your car after my shift" vibe.
Theyre already doing it here in our town where we already have tons of unemployed rednecks who cant string two words together to form a coherant sentence about anything other than meth, cigarettes, or mountain dew, let alone push a button on a screen, literally with a picture of the product on it.
It makes total business sense to automate. People are stupid, people make mistakes.
I just hope Im dead or in a better field before they wise up and kick us to the curb.
>Books
>Magazines
>Fap
You choose user.
OK. I've been a social worker with disability and public assistance cases for 12 years now, but please, correct me.
>you and a band of doctors can't prove with all the science in the world a person does not have back pain, that's a fact.
lol wut? Yes. Yes, they can. It's called examinations and X-rays. If no actual damage is found, you don't get disability. You can claim it hurts all you want. You have been deemed healthy. You are spouting the exact talking point we in this line of work know intimately. You are not convincing anyone.
And even if they get a disability payment, like I said, 500-600 a month is what they are likely looking at. Not really sure if that's a payday worth getting jealous over. Most of these people can't even afford to live on their own, they are forced to live with family.
Do the dishes every chance you get. You get to stay away from the customers (I worked there for eight months and can probably count on one hand how many genuinely kind customers I had), the shit employees that don't do their job, and the cranky ass managers. It is literally the best thing to do.
>meth, cigarettes, or mountain dew
Literally my three favorite things from my youth that I had to give up. sigh
Good for me that I am a tech guy so I fix the robots I guess.
I also don't get why everything at walmart doesn't have some sort of RFID tech that scans everything in the cart as I pass through some gateway and then I pay a kiosk and leave.
Is the technology for this automation not there or something else? Walmart and McDs have RD budgets like fucking NASA what is their hold up??
>If I didn't own my own business and didn't have a college education
>worked in social services for 12 years
Do you want a medal?
>it doesn't work that way
Obviously from your perspective it doesn't but I can assure you that outside that bubble you call "life" there are plenty of people who do just that.
There's no convincing morons who have chugged the Sup Forums Kool Aid.
She's actually creeped the fuck out by your beta ass, you're just a rapist.
>OK. I've been a social worker with disability and public assistance cases for 12 years now
nope.
you are a 14 year old retard.
>If no actual damage is found, you don't get disability
wrong again.
>like I said, 500-600 a month is what they are likely looking at.
average is 1200 a month plus selling the pills they don't need on the side.
plus rent and utility assistance coupled with free food.
please do the math.
Actually she is probably more like 'this fucking stoner again whats his deal?' But she is always working the late shift and always super friendly.
And she doesn't have that nasty skin people at Mcdonalds get. Like pimply and greasy due to the environment.
Have you thanked Jamal today for giving you the wifi password so you can shitpost from your cuckshed?
OK, good job offering ZERO evidence. Your opinion alone is not good enough.
>I can assure you
lol, no, you can't. Like I said, I know this shit up and down, forwards and back. You're not going to bullshit me, my dude. Especially by offering zero evidence besides "I can assure you!". Just accept that the shit you hear from the drunks down at the local dew drop is just not the norm. I get it, it's a fun talking point, and people like to bitch about lazy assholes faking illness or injury to get some bloated payout, but it's simply not reality.

>when you get blown the fuck out
>say something stupid.
>Nope! Nope! Ur wrong! Becuz muh feelingS!
This. Wish I'd done that instead of going to college for teaching.
Ok OP real question. California is about to raise minimum wage to $15 fucking dollars an hour. Do you honestly think that anything you did today was worth $15/hr?
I mean this is supposed to be a living wage.. can you imagine being a full grown adult supporting a family of 4 working a McD's register?
This job should pay shitty enough that all you want to do is educate yourself in anything not to return to another day of hell?
I would love your opinion .
>muh feelingS!
or facts?
don't intentionally be stupid to try and sound smart.
And your info is coming from...where, exactly? I'm literally telling you, that is not how it works. When you are forced to face facts from someone who knows what they are talking about, clinging to hot emotion and hearsay is only going to hurt you.
>>One customer makes a bid deal out of it saying that im being a dick because im not flashing a big toothy grin.
what a dick
also watch this youtube: youtube.com
>drinking
yeah, i got a job delivering pizza. there's no fucking way to do that for 8 hours straight, delivering to people who are also drunk, and not get drunk yourself after work
Alright. I guess you're right then, sorry for being an asshole
well said user
$15 an hour is not enough to raise a family in California dummy
>>Doing the same thing over and over and over.
They call shitty jobs "McJob" for a reason
everybody want a job, nobody wanna work
this is adulting, its not gonna get any easier
also when did wack arnolds ever have dishes? i havent been in one for about 6 years but damn that doesnt sound like them
