McDonald's is getting slack
 

The thing that bugs me most now about McDonald's is it takes bloody ages. I've sometimes stood there for like 10 minutes. I'm not one of those fussy eaters either I only order a large Big Mac meal. They just can't seem to deal with amount of people these days and everything just gets clogged up. Probably to do with the fact they're trying to serve three people at once as well. Maybe it's just the ones in Yorkshire, I dunno.

But they won't be getting my custom anymore if they keep it up :idc:

It's not first come first serve at my regular one, a few people ordered a Mcflurry (me first) and I was the last to get my order, same with burger orders. :bored:

I'm usually shocked at how quickly they give me what I want...

Go in with your phone in your hand as if you are timing it... IF they notice the phone, they will think you are a mystery shopper (especially with you ordering a big mac meal) and serve you in the time they are supposed to.

This has worked for me for months and months, ever since I registered on a mystery shopper site and found out this is how they evaluate mcdonalds :p

It's even worse waiting on a drive through then after you pay they tell you to park up and they will bring it over, fgs I wouldn't be going through the drive through in the first place if I wasn't in a hurry you *****.

Sounds good LOL but it's always awkward now because when they're serving more than one at a time you've got people hanging around the side of the tills not really knowing where to stand. Saying that though they've always been awful with queues. It's basically who can jump to the till first.

most times I go to the drive thru here and it's just people with the touch screen things cause the booth isn't working and 9 times out of 10 they get the order wrong

Literally the only time they've ever been quick with me is at 3:45 every weekday - and I have to time it to be around that time or else they'll take ages.

It seems like at that time at the branch I go to, they always have Mayo Chicken sandwhiches sitting already made and heated - so when I ask for one, they give me it within a minute and then I hop on my bus home.

Any other time though, they do take absolutely ******ing ages and it's a disgrace.

I can come in and ask for a small portion of fries - some family could come in after me and order a massive meal, mcflurries and everything - and they'll get served before me. It's a joke.

No they are having Problems every place
they need to employ Hard Workers
not Fat people

Never really been bothered about waiting, it's a pretty demanding Job when their are only a few of them working there, feel really bad when you go in and there is a massive queue and you see them all going back and forth and trying to keep up, got nothing but respect for people who can work in situations like that rather then sitting on your ass in an office all day inputting data for twice the wage

I can't say I've noticed if they're fat or not. It's McDonald's fault for not training people properly.

All the workers at mine are fat and chavvy, love pissing around behind the tills. It's a joke.

This.

Novo is describing them as national heroes who carry out almighty tasks :laugh: At my one they just ****** about behind the counter.

Yes bad managers


Fat People - get in the way

Would be inclined to agree with Novo

I'm not describing them as National Heroes :joker: i'm just saying that it looks brutal when you see a massive queue and not many people working, and it pisses me off so much when you see kids throwing the sauces around and tipping their drinks on the trays and **** like that.

and they're treated like **** too

I love how they're now trying to dress McDonald's up as some homely restaurant where you can pop in for a nice meal and a coffee yet it's still the same chavs that mostly frequent it.

i would do a poem on MD - but don't ever eat this stuff. much perfer a kebab and its cheaper. and i feel full up after it. unlike MD.

Novo - Its Hard Work
and those that work Harder go up the ladder.

If I had a Branch I would employ Polish workers - making more money
for my Franchise
as so many British Workers are Slow - you can afford to lose a Customer
in the Day and Age

Kebab's can be dodgy meat at times.

The Polish have either gone or moved up the ladder. It's mostly Romanians and Slovakians working there now.

No they are not as good as Polish

..wouldn't it be better to motivate people more..that's discrimination surely...

Arista getting complaints every 5 minutes from Customers asking him why none of the workers can speak or understand a word of English

But he doesn't care because he's only paying them £2.34 an hour

:laugh: "Me no understand". Then you hear the crack of Arista's whip from behind them.

I love McDonalds. They're usually really nice, so i don't mind waiting. :hugesmile:

I've always wanted to flip at them like Michael Douglas in Falling Down when they get it wrong it when I get a burger that's got wilted lettuce and is as flat as a pancake or when it's 10.31 and they have no breakfast stuff left....never have though :laugh:

They have to Speak English to Get a Contract
under me.

Think you're more falling over than falling down.

Ammi its the way the Young are Brought Up in our towns
is the Problem.

Yeah...you got that right... I'd end up shooting myself, apologising and leaving mortified...

Either that or like I usually do and not say anything...

Thank heavens for small mercies.

..I'm sorry Arista but we're going to have to disagree about this...you say that you would employ Polish people because UK people are lazy..?...but to me that just makes you what you accuse them of...a lazy employer who wants the most back for the least input and maybe the lowest wage as well..?...so really that isn't the answer at all and not only hypocritical but very discriminatory....


..Arista, you're always saying..can you put this or that country in the title..like you're very proud to be British..but you won't employ any because you think they may require a bit more effort..?...but they're the lazy ones..?...


EDIT:..as an employer, it's also up to you to motivate people to want to work for you and to enjoy the job they do more...if that isn't worth the effort and it's better to take an easier option, then you're letting those 'lazy' young people down as well...so where's the motivation for them to want to become anything else..?....

"as an employer, it's also up to you to motivate people to want to work for you and to enjoy the job they do more.."

Of Course Ammi
if you have time and money for that.


But a McD Franchise costs money to set up
so to get money back faster
in this Cut Throat Industy
I employ Only Hard Workers

..yeah, I do understand what you're saying Arista....to get your return quicker for the least effort could still be described as a 'lazy' option..which is exactly what you're saying about young UK people..and most successful businesses are just so because they think of long term and not the 'quick return'....you have to invest more than just money in a good business...

It never ever ends up coming out like that LOL

Is it just Liverpool/Merseyside or have they scraped Quarter Pounder meals everywhere now? Went into one the other day and they gave me a Chigago burger alternative LOL (Tastes of America). Wish they wouldn't make the buns all spicy and coat the thing with mayonnaise (which I usually like) and lettuce. :bored:
