Default 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I'm not describing them as National Heroes 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.

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.

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

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