Which means if they are unhappy with your performance, they can just cut your hours or fire you.

It's not a CONTRACTUAL MATTER at all. there are no contracts when you work part-time.
Yes there are Alex. Even bank/casual workers should be provided with contracts over here.

You brought up the closing vs paying overtime argument. It was not relevant in this matter.

and what do you think happens to people who complain that those hours arn't reasonable?

If every single mcdonalds worker has a contract salary in the UK, obviously things are very different in the UK compared to the US, I don't think that's true though. I don't think you know wtf you're talking about.

She didnt deal with the situation well or professional at all.

yea, well she just worked a shift and it's midnight and she wants to go home. That's not being moronic, that's just being tired and frustrated and ready to go home after a long shift at a ****ty job.

Also Arista stop telling people if an article is a serious debate or not, let the mods decide if they want to move threads. Its fricking irritating youre not on thread duty y'know. Post on topic and stop thinking you can dictate to people about their threads.

First and foremost this is not the first time this has happened as he has gone with phone in hand to a locked door. Secondly his voice is provocative and annoying. Thirdly, any food establishment that serves food cooked to order closes the kitchen at least 15 minutes before they close. Ever tried getting something to eat at a restaurant that advertises food served 12 - 3pm at 2.50? so he is a bit of an idiot. Fourthly not every part time worker in the UK has a contract, some workers work part time on a casual basis. She shouldn't have pushed him he could have her done for GBH unfortunately even though he was asking for it.

Ridiculous how much the twat was instigating an argumemt for the sake of it, there could have been a proper reason for why it had to be closed. Not only that, but I believe McDonalds to be a private company, and if need be they can open late/close early, although don't hold me on that. Yeah, she could have handled it better, but most people would get the jist and just leave it... if you're ordering food that late, then you need to sort out your dinner arrangments

Ermmm... You should let people in still and stop at 00:00 exactly. Have somebody at the door so when it gets to 00:00 he/she can just say "I'm sorry we're closed now, these guys in here are our last customers". And just ask the people who are being served to leave as soon as they can, or when you're serving them let them know they can't sit in and they must take the food away.

Why should they do that? Why should they have to wait til exactly 12 to shut off all of the cooking devices and start putting food away.

Why can't people just accept that when the restaurant closes it's CLOSED. period. no discussion.

You are making it sound like the shop has some sort of OBLIGATION towards the drunken idiots that wait til the last second. no they don't.

They don't have any obligation towards anyone. We sell food when we want to sell food.

You don't have a RIGHT to buy mcdonalds or any other food. You are making it sound like people have a RIGHT to buy fast food based on the hours listed. But you don't. A shop has the right to close whenever the ****** they want to close.

Because why advertise 00:00 close and close earlier than that. Especially when there are paying customers waiting and willing to pay

I know, but sometimes food runs out shortly before closing time. If that happens you have no other option other than close.

Then stick your head out the door and say "sorry guys, we're out of food and it's too late to cook anymore".

That's all it would have taken to avoid this whole situation.
