Well im guessing at least some of you go out to eat at a fast food some times and as you know I am a disgruntled mcdonalds employee. I would like to share with you a few things I see that if you paid attention to and followed, i am sure things would go so much smoother. yeah, i had to work all day in the window taking money from people in drive thru. I was bored so i just thought of some stuff that you should and shouldnt do in the drive thru. Im not complaining, dont get me wrong... just writing something that i think would help if all people knew.
Topic A: MONEY
1) Please have your money ready when you get to the window. Usually we tell you what the price is after you place your order. If for some reason we dont, you could still have an amount that would cover it ready. its just so much faster if you have your money ready.
2)When you hand us your money please dont hand it to us all folded up, or in a bundle or a wad. its so annoying to have to seperate all your bills and such. Just seperate it yourself, dont be so lazy..
Topic B: Drive Tru Courtesy; Tips to the Arrogant
3) Did you mom ever tell you it wasnt nice to stare? Yes, staring is rude. While waiting for your change, please dont stare at the person. Standing at a window for 8 hours, you start to notice you have a lot of starers. and no, i didnt have a booger, im not wierd looking. i guess people just like to stare. Nobody likes that.
4)When placing your order at the box thingy, there is no need for yelling. But dont whisper either. regular talking voice is about right, unless you have a big truck. we cant hear you over your deisels.
5) Dont talk so freaking fast. I mean, there is alot of buttons to push if you have a big order. and you wonder why we have to ask you what you to repeat your order!
Topic C: We Are Not Psychic!
6)Ok, I know Mcdonalds employees are just so smart and all, we are not freakin phychic. this brings me to a few points. I noticed today while listening in on the headset when people were taking orders... that when asked what they would like to drink with that, some people were like "uh - a Dr.Pepper" really rude like we were supposed to know. Im sorry we cant read your minds.
7) That brings me to the other point, this one is really one of the ones that get my obdula oblongata firing. lol. (rememer thats what makes alligators so darn ornery!) Its the fact that you dont tell us when your done ordering. Instead you decide that your just gonna sit there because we know when your done ordering.Right? Well were not mind readers so speak up and tell us when "thats all")
Topic D: Kids.
8) Some of you may have little pets that you may call your children.They are not acceptable order placers. You may think its cute, but we dont.
9)Shut your kids up. I dont know how many times i have to throw my headset down because some little kid was crying so loudly that even when i turn it all the way down it still hurts to hear them scream. I remember back in the day when spanking wasnt child abuse. i think the world would be a better place if we all just spanked children, but what ever. do it the way you want to, thats not what this is about.
The Final Rule: The Food Cardinal Rule
10) Dont mess with the people who make your food. Im not afraid to use this rule.
If anything angered you in this blog, then im assuming your guilty of breaking a few of these rules. im not sorry if ive offended you and i dont care if you dont agree. You can follow or not, these are just a few things that annoy the hell out of me
----yours truly, a disgruntled employee.
