McDonald's GM here. Ask any questions you have about McDonald's as a whole

McDonald's GM here. Ask any questions you have about McDonald's as a whole.

To clarify, I'm the GM of a store, not the whole corp. haha

Why is the ice cream machine always down?

Why does such horrible food appeal to so many elderly people. I'm always there and there's niggers and old fucks only I swear

What's yours take on the whole 1,2,3$ menu b.s.

Do you use fresh eggs? And how often do you keep items over their hold times?

I’ve seen the fresh egg thing on a commercial or two and was wondering how true it was.

I feel like its way over complicating a simple thing.

outside of pet stores, where the fuck do hamsters come from????

Ya fresh eggs, hold time on cooked eggs is usually 30mins

where does the pink slime come from??

We do indeed use fresh eggs. They come in huge cartons, and the crew cracks them themselves. I'd say, five minutes average.

either being cleaned or the crew don't wanna use it

No clue. Cheap and quick I guess?

i heard ronald is a gay character, why the fuck no mrs mcdonald??

move out of harlem faggot

See. Wasn't hard to stump a mcretarded franchise owner

I'll tell you when you're older...

I'm actually in upstate new york far removed from New York shitty.

so i'm a sous chef at a golf course, where all the employees get stoned and have a good time and go at our own pace but still get shit done

during the winter i took a job at a real restaurant, and even though it wasnt as busy as say an olive garden or something, i still hated it.

mcdonalds seems fun to me compared to the real restaurant gig, and i noticed weeaboo girls from my old High school and a lot of gay guys work at my local one, (im attracted to both groups) could i enjoy it as a job i didnt have to take too seriously, and maybe get some flirting in?

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to run an over hyped hell on earth.

how much does it suck to get orders for mcdoubles that add leaf lettuce tomato mayo and extra pickles?

its my favorite thing to order

Oh come on dawg, put a smile on, be happy, you're lovin' it.

Yeah. you def could. McD's ain't complicated.

ive been working at mcdonalds for a long time now and they only clean the fryers once every 6 months, is that normal? i always thought you should do it more often

Can I order a grand Mac? I went to my local and they wouldn’t do it.

well i'm from utica and i've never heard the phrase steamed hams

Doesn't make too much of a difference. All burgers are put together on an assembly line like table where all of the possible ingredients are laid out to be used.

No that’s not fucking normal. I’ve worked using a fryer before (not fast food but donuts). You clean/strain the oil every single day and then once a week you’ll drain it completely, scrape it down and boil water in it, and then add new oil completely.

What you described is people being both cheap and nasty as fuck.

Atleast in the U.S, we still have the grand mac. Musta just been a new cashier.

Sorry your Simpson meme doesn't apply here

Why is McDonald's so fucking expensive as of late? I feel like 5 years ago it was the cheapest fast food option, but now it's not even top 3.

The food has not improved.

What's the secret sauce?

Sometimes it overheats because of blocked or dirty vents which causes the shakes and cones to come out liquidy

im the golf course sous chef guy.

the golf course boils out both fryers every week each on different days. little bit of a pain in the ass, but much better than the real restaurant i worked at where they never boil out the fryers, they just use a rejuvenator that cleans the fryers with its own dirty oil. part of the reason i left the place

That's disgusting. My store's fryer oil is cleaned/ changed everyday, and grills scrapped and cleaned during slow times.

No cheeseburgers in the Happy Meal?? The fuck are you guys thinking? No human being anywhere on the face of God's green earth takes their kids to McDonald's because it's healthy. They go because it's cheap and tastes good and that's it. My kids eat healthy shit at home, taking them to McDonald's is like me having a beer - I don't fucking drink beer because it's healthy, I drink it because I like it. Dumbest fucking idea I've ever heard in my life. You guys go ahead and ass-fuck yourselves, I'm taking my kids to Burger King.

They're partially bullshitting you on the eggs, which idk why.

Former McFag here, only the round eggs (most commonly found on egg McMuffins) are real, freshly cracked eggs.

>The scrambled eggs come in liquid form in cardboard cartons.
>The folded eggs come pre-packaged, pre-folded in plastic and get heated up on the grill.

McDonald's is attempting to "modernize" itself. Which is why you see self order kiosks in the stores now or the mobile app. All of this "innovation" is driving food cost high.

The pink slime is the tubby custard machine from Teletubbies.

I promise.

We drain our fryers entirely, hose them down, soap and sanitize, nightly.
Deep clean every couple of weeks. But they hardly ever need it, because we're cleaning them before shut builds up.
Call the goddamn health department, fuck

My store def uses all fresh eggs for all egg product. You must have not been there when we changed to that.

The folded eggs (in mcgriddle or biscuits,are pre-cooked we get them in sheets, they sit over night to thaw then when ready we steam cook it almost like rehydrating. Round and scrambled eggs are fresh (mcmuffin and steak baggle).

Yeah I noticed ours now has spots where you can order on the app and have someone bring your food out to a parking space ..

The employees at my local McDonald's have a hard enough time with just the regular drive through I couldn't fucking imagine how long I'd have to wait if they had to bring the shit to me too.

People don't want to pay more money for mediocre food, I don't care if some chick with a huge ass in volleyball shorts figure-skates my food to my car, it still won't be worth upwards of 7 bucks a head.

The mayo part can be annoying if the suace tube needs to be changed.

I still have friends that work there. Maybe your store changed but the ones around me haven't.

jesus christ, when we clean it we literally just wipe it down and spray it for a maximum of like 10 minutes maybe.. will i lose my job if i call the health dept

BBQ+Sweet&Sour

Bro we have cheeseburger and hamburger happymeals chill.

It's just thousan...
>Gets shot

without a cheeseburger and a chocolate milk my happy meal is a sad meal. y u do this?

Current mcfag here, definetly still using pre-packeged eggs here.

For now, but they're getting removed. Chicken nuggets, too. Google it.

It's because of the PR backlash by the media about McD's being unhealthy

who cares if McD's is unhealthy? No one goes there for health food.

Why the heck are things so inconsistent? A meal at different restaurants should be exactly the same. There shouldnt be any difference between a fillet of fish combo downtown or at the airport. But one has a cold bun and noticeably more fries, the other has hardly any sauce but lots of lettuce.
This is the reason I've started going less. It's so disappointing to drive away, open up and find you've got the dud meal today.
How do you guys try stay consistent??? Whatever you do you're failing.

Doubt that'll happen here, 75% of orders i take are for happymeals, both kids and adults order nugget/cheeseburger.

> What items to get in terms of quality & value?

> Why the fuq are the fries so expensive?

> Secret insider tips would be helpful thanks

what coffee beans do you use for brewing coffee?

No it's more an Albany thing.

No wonder a volcanic blast of brown shart comes out of me every time I eat those. God damn, that’s some nasty food.

Franchise owners sometimes fall behind modernizing or putting out the latest items because they have to roll out new procedures for both managers and crew to follow.

Is that glued together steak in your breakfast sandwiches, that meat glue stuff or is it really genuine steak?

Maintenance worker here at dons, its fucking shitty working 4 nights every week. Although getting paid $15.25 cad is decent.

What's the secret ingredient to Mcdonalds fries

beef tallow

I'd suggest not ordering any breakfast items after 10:30am because of the lunch start.

Acid spray to keep them from turning gray.

Oh, so like the executive chefs of Wendy's that show up here all too often.
Did you even attend Hamburger University?

You don't really want to know. It's first name is "Soylent".

You don't mean him?

Its the same as the beef patties highly compacted shredded beef, mostly glue and fat.

Used to go when I was a kid. Menu was simple as fuck.
Now I've got a kid I've started going back to give him a treat. There's so much unnecessary shit on the menu.
Go to drive thru and your bombarded by 873 different items. Chicken mcnuggets, guacamole and chipotle bagels, chicken salad wraps, apple pieces. Wtf??? Looking at the board I'm almost stroking out. The chicks waiting for my order and I'm freaking out wondering where fuck is the Big Mac or quarter pounder combo?

Do people seriously buy this new crap or are you forced to add them to your menu to try and look healthy.

fried apple pie in 2018? please say yessss

Formaldehyde and invert sugar.

Why do you never have any fucking cherry pies?

Am enjoying this thread. Learning a lot.

The main items (ranges from medium to high value, essentially slightly lower profit margins) are to get you in, once in & ready to order, the expensive 'lower value' sides are thrown in your face as if it's socially custom/mandatory to order 'em.

Which is why almost always the main items - burgers are branded & marketed, the fries are always 'oh, you've gotta have them with the burger', and then there's the coke.

Psychological persuasion in order to farm you to spend more.

And after the sides, there's the desert to complete your order.

They've essentially chosen your items for you, you just make it real.

Why'd they get rid of the hot and spicy? Sad days

Forgot to mention, I'm not OP. Just contributing to the thread.

Time to ask the real questions boys, when's the szechuan sauce coming?

There's an economic study that covers this that I can't remember the name of, but basically there's a pretty linear relationship with disposable income and quality of food you eat, i.e. people with money don't eat McDonalds.

Everybody already knows everything they need to about mc dicks, It’s not real food but idiots line up for it like crackheads waiting on a piece.

Guess my question would be how can you look at yourself in the mirror? (Inb4 good $$) no cash is worth working for them.

People drinking in the lobby. If you see them pouring liquor into the drink they paid for but not acting a fool or bothering anyone else what would you do?

asking because the 40yr old midlife crisis manager of a mcd's I frequented finally saw me adding whiskey to my soda and kicked me out after weeks of visiting daily for lunch, ordering a meal, and drinking as secretly as possible. She actually ran out to deliver a drive-through meal that was overdue after they asked them to pull up. She got really short with me and told me I can't be in her store any more.

Is this a power trip thing or taking out her anger in a way she won't get fired for or what? I don't understand but I was the only one who didn't care that my meals too 10min to prep or that some minorities jabbered their way into getting their food on the fly. wtf?

There's also the social aspect of that. Many rich people are even ashamed to be seen standing in a McDonalds' outlet. And because of this, they choose to pay upto 5x extra to dine at a luxurious restaurant more their par. Such idiots.

Just your location we still have them here.

By the book manager, some care some don't.

I'd say it's going to happen because I live in Louisiana and they removed it.

She was a cunt. did the whole globby emo makeup even though she was way too old for it. total ghetto in the system person. charged you for clear cups for water type person. feel sorry for her, but after all the business I gave to her store or shift or whatever and she just treated me like an aids person, well, I feel like I should do something about her hospitality even if I had a pint in my cup.

Go ahead and park your car in waiting slot number 3, we will fix your hamburger happy meal with a slice of cheese.
