Fr, I worked at Little Ceasars and I did not like it one bit, probably because the manager (The guy training me) was being really rude to me for no reason, but besides that working fast for such little pay isn't worth it in my opinion.
And it absolutely is hard work. Especially when your franchise owner is a greedy rat and constanly undermans the kitchen to save money (happened to me when I worked there)
This seems like a slower time of day, but I know how crazy and chaotic things can get in the food industry. Thank you for everything you do. You guys work a lot harder than people realize
Everyone's talking about the guy making the burgers but my respect is for the guy in the back who sings the McDonald's jingle while working at McDonald's
Those fucking alarms on the fry station still haunt my dreams to this day. I remember coming home after a shift at maccas and just being drained of all life. The only thing I could hear would be the beeping of the deep fryers. Mad respect for the people who put themselves through that every day
I got so sick of damn beeping deep fryers I didn't push the button. I dropped and my brain knew/alerted me when they were done. You do it so many times so you just knew when they were done...
This hit me with a huge wave of nostalgia. Fast food workers are underappreciated but I think that kind of strengthens the bond between the employees. I made so many good friends working at McDonalds and even though the work was simplistic in nature it was also difficult to master. I remember bringing in a hand written list of all the burger ingredients for the first couple of months because I found it really hard to memorize them all. On my days off I would literally study the McDonalds menu because my managers would give me such a hard time during my shifts. Some people just don't realize that when they order a Big Mac, someone has to know how to prepare it in a very short amount of time. As much as I hated my managers and my low rate of pay I can't help but miss my time working there. If anything it taught me to treat retail and restaurant workers like actual people and not pieces of fucking garbage.
That's so true. Thanks for sharing man. I'm in the same boat as you right now. I worked at Wendy's for seven months and made so many friends. I still miss them to this day. I had a chill manager and a loud and obnoxious manager. It taught me that there's always gonna be rude people. You just have to suck it up. I worked at a Burger King for a week. I absolutely despised that place. Now I'm working at McDonald's and today was my first day. I had no idea how to get all the burger orders right. I learned a few things but the job is extremely difficult and we have immature little mtfs shaming fast food workers when I'm literally struggling to make a living. I have a license test in two weeks and I'm saving up for a car. Not to mention I need a new dryer and I need to get the van fixed. It's tough you feel me
Yes!! I work at one now. I don’t prepare food. I just hand food out the window, make drinks, occasionally I will take orders for counter and drive through. Even just taking drive through orders can be a little difficult when you’re new. In my free time I just try and memorize what’s on the menu so that I’m able to find stuff quicker. For the most part I love the job. My manager is awesome and most of the co-workers are nice and helpful. There’s a few that get easily annoyed when you’re still learning how to do stuff but overall, not bad.
Well to be fair they clearly were having a slow day so they were able to put more care into the sandwiches. Once its breakfast/lunch rush you’ll quickly forget about quality
I've got huge respect for fast food workers. You're on a factory production line where every item is custom made. You contribute a lot to society by providing comfort and sustenance to the people who build and maintain our cities.
I've worked in the food industry once before and I promised myself I'd never come back to it. Big respect to everyone that is willing to endure this stressful and ungrateful job.
Imagine doing that all day, and simply wanting 15 bucks/hr. Glad they are making better pay these days. I'll pay more for my food. Just pay the workers a decent wage.

From one service worker to another, I have anxiety attacks when I pull into McDonald's and see the store wrapped completely in the drive through line. Hats off to you and the rest of the crew.

Worked at McDonald’s collectively for 3+ years (left and came back). Seeing this videos gives me so much nostalgia! I specially remember the ‘only 2 sandwiches at a time’ rule 😂
must admit, having worked in an underpaid, underemployed franchise location, seeing the quality of the equipment you guys have and not seeing employees and managers smoking weed in the grill station is culture shock for me Edit: just to answer some questions I've seen in this thread: I was getting paid 10 an hour in 2021 as a crew trainer and grill manager/supervisor while the people I was training were making 11.50 to 12 an hour. I'm also not "a weeb meeting the real world" I'm a 4 year Powerlifter and software technician and I'm currently lined up for a full time career at KnowBe4 Custom Security Awareness.
@HoneyBun Want more pay? Quit wasting money on weed and apply your efforts elsewhere. Or just stay where you are and where you will be in 5 years. But at least you have your drug right? Tell me how it’s not addictive when your life revolves around it.
As someone who works at McDonalds I love that people are so positive towards this guy with this video it makes me very happy to see people support the people working in fast food... also I wish my store was that slow all the time god damn it would be so much easier😫
I had to share a room quite recently with someone who put that..."stuff", in them. Then I had to put up with their ablutions. I trust I've said enough.
@@tumultuousv Stuff. I can't think of a more polite term to describe something that close to inedible which toxifies one's own organs and pollutes the atmosphere of others who end up sharing said atmosphere. It basically creates a biohazard, doing the exact opposite of something like healthy swede, couscous, kale, nut roast - even organic meat and fish cooked properly. Flush out your organs with white tea, green tea, matcha, cyder vinegar - basically everything to forget you ever set eyes on that "stuff", and never look back.
I worked 3 years in McDonalds which isn’t much but it was enough to understand what they deal with and go through on a daily basis. People don’t realise some of the abuse fast food workers can get and because of that I will always treat any worker in any industry with respect and kindness. Be kind folks, they are humans too just trying to make an honest living and serve you.
@@andy8034 Its not a matter of being lazy or not willing to work. You have to realise what gets said to these workers every single day by both customers and managers, you really think that gives them motivation to work at maximum potential? Most fast food chains are severely understaffed on certain days because the stores want to save money on labour which puts more pressure on the few staff members who are working. I get it, it’s a job so get over it. But at the end of the day all they’re trying to do is do their job and go home, they have no reason to act lazy or slow because it simply wouldn’t benefit anyone. But I guess to understand that you’d have to have worked in that type of environment before because I certainly didn’t know what it was like before I worked in the industry.
En France les contrats McDonald's sont exclusivement occupés par des jeunes étudiants. McDonald's quasiment pas de contrat de travail à temps plein pour ses équipiers mais que des temps partiels. C'est illégal d'obliger quelqu'un à occuper un temps partiel si il ne le veut pas. Mais McDonald's impose à ses futurs employés employés ce choix. Les plannings sont plus sécurisés, plus faciles à faire en ayant beaucoup de petits contrats à sa disposition, plutôt qu'un nombre restreint d'employés à temps plein. Bref impossible de faire carrière car ce sont des emplois de dépannage. (Cela a été démontré notamment par le magazine français cash investigation et une caméra cachée) À savoir que le marché français est le deuxième au monde après les États-Unis pour McDonald's
Gosh remembering where everything is, the assembly recipe, and then any special requests (like no pickles etc) I’d get so anxious. Good work so appreciated
This fails to capture the wretchedness of too many managers, too many drugged up coworkers, and the insane public who will froth with anger when breakfast ends or begins. It's like this, but with a 5x higher power of making you wish the building would catch ablaze with you in it
@@crakermac3818 Your co-workers know they are being paid far too little to exhaust themselves for a bunch of billionaires. Of course it sucks to have employees work at a drastically lower speed than you do, it only makes work worse in general, however I still understand the frustration that most workers get from this kind of job because it is specifically designed to squeeze every last penny of value out of your labour. Grinding away at such a job is hardly a virtue.
Man, I can see that this fellow puts some soul into this otherwise soulless position. Just the little things, attention to detail, like centering the patties and cheese onto the bun before wrapping, portioning the pinch of lettuce and then carefully putting it on. Also keeping his coworkers updated when containers are out. I work at a fast food place, and these practices are expected at my store, but hearing the stories from coworkers who came from different restaurants, too frequently I hear where they came from was a dumpster fire. Nobody giving a rip, things unmaintained, no communication, sloppy work, no pride. I appreciate how you take your job seriously, and just judging from the background chatter, it sounds like your coworkers do as well to some degree.
It's all down to the working culture in the restaurant and it starts from the manager. Normally things are fine if the manager cares enough. I've worked in a number of fast food restaurants and have seen how management affects employees and the working environment.
i remember working at McDonald's. The job itself is demanding but easy and rewarding. What I hated the most were the a-hole managers that sucked all possible positivity out of the whole experience. I don't know why you need 4 managers to see after 2 crew but that's how the McDonalds I worked at rolled. But I love McDonalds and still eat there. All the food I prepared I made as though it was for me so it was always good and accurate. I don't think I deserved all the grief I got from the McManagement.
How is it demanding and easy and rewarding at the same time. Now I totally get what you're saying working on the line however what I'm commenting on is the paradox of your statement that most regular people wouldn't understand
I remember working McDonald’s when I was a teenager. It was a temporary summer job but it made me appreciate what the workers go through on a daily basis.
I last worked at McDonald's in 1998ish. It's fun to see that they are still using the same equipment/methods still. When I started we would make bulk orders of burgers and waited for customers to buy from a pile of sandwiches lol
Ya, worked at mcds in hs 2003-2005 and it's nearly the same. Dispensers are a little different and we had to use stickers to put the tickets on the wrapper, otherwise it's no different. I always weirdly liked working the line, something kind of cathartic in clearing out an order screen doing repetitive easy tasks.
@@Timm2912 for me yes after you work 4 hours in one day your allowed to get 1 free burger and you get 20% off if you order someting but it can be diffrent in other mcdonalds
@@deadskeleton9534 good job person who I assume your age ends in teen. Hopefully you learn about good work ethic and discipline to take to your next job. Good luck.
So nostalgic, remember working at mcdonalds for about 4 years or so in the high school days. Lemme tell you it was fun during quiet periods, get to chat up with co-workers, not much orders to make. But when shit hits the fan and rush hours starts, that's when it becomes really demanding and can physically wear you out. Overall it was a great experience to build a good working habit and the co-workers i was with were fun to talk to, as we were just a bunch of high school kids running the store except the manager who was like probably 30s idk
I know what you mean. Used to work at a local fastfood chain very similar to mcdonalds for 4-5 years during my time in uni and to me it's both a bit nostalgic seeing this and also interesting to see the difference between this and my local fastfood chain. The biggest difference I can see is that normal patties were always cooked to order, they were never put in those holding bins. Only fried fish/chicken patties (and finger foods) because those took too long. I actually kinda enjoyed working in the kitchen there too, just hammering out those burgers. And yeah it can be pretty exhausting, especially when you're the only one in the kitchen against 3 cashiers and a full restaurant of people. Good times. And absolutely agree, good managers and good coworkers made all the difference. If it wasn't for them I would've never stuck around for as long as I did.
I remember working at Little Caesars fresh out of high school. Guys would sell bud out the back door, managers meeting meant let's drink some Jack in the cooler. My manager was my buddy, we'd all roll into there at midnight, fire up the oven and drunk as hell make pizzas, chicken wings whatever. It was a good time.
i work somewhere where you make the food in front of the customer and i'm not sure how this man manages to not go numb just making mcdoubles without some sort of audience or communication
Things have changed a lot since I was an assistant manager at McDonalds in the late 80s. Everything was a "dance" - from staging the buns and toasting them to pulling the meat onto the dressed buns when the meat timer went off in less than 3 minutes for the regular burgers. In rush situations, you could have a separate person working the toasters, one cooking the meat, and one dressing buns for hours on end. Grill maintenance was important as well, or you could end up with a grill fire on your hands.
That's still how it is largely done today. You normally have 2 or 3 people on each line, one putting buns in the toaster, getting the paper wraps prepared, one dressing the burgers, and one putting the meat in and wrapping. There is always someone assigned to only grill and only chicken frying, they're only flexed by a line worker when it's incredible slow, like in this video.
I don't get why people look down at people working at McDonalds. It looks really stressful, I don't think I could handle it. I have so much respect for McDonalds employees.
It certainly was stressful, in my experience at least. The managers of the store where I used to work at would schedule their employees to work alone in the kitchen on a weekly basis. This meant that I would have to handle cooking and assembling burgers, etc. The kitchen typically has two lines where two employees can simultaneously assemble sandwiches, but, I end up having work both lines of orders. Breakfast and lunch time rushes were difficult. Opening was rough because of all the prep involved. This includes things such as making parfaits, baking cookies and pies, making breakfast burritos, making salads, filling up the ice cream machine, prepping kitchen cooking utensils, turning on the grill, etc.
@@wangyang8853 Omg this is actually what happened to me as well. I was always working in night shifts and there would be only 3 people in the building alone. The person who picks up orders and gives out orders, 1 in the kitchen, and someone cleaning. That's it, we would always ask for 1 more person atleast so we wouldn't have to make the customers wait and etc but no the upper head didn't give a sh*t about us, plus the payment was bad as well. We always had f'd up schedule as well... Imagine working till midnight and then going back to 9 am or 8 am. It was such a bullsh*t. I liked working there though cuz i made a lot of new friends but it became stressful and everything so i quit.
@@wangyang8853 i was always in the kitchen or was cleaning since i didn't socialize myself with people and hated drunk customers as well. But when half the city just goes to McDonalds after a party and you have to make like 1000 orders alone and get trash payment, hell nah i gave up and quit.
@@NotSoSushi Yep, we had enough staff to schedule two people in the kitchen, but management was cheap. I was a fresh college student at the time too and they wouldn't let me go after my shift was over. I had midterms and despite me giving them a two weeks notice that I needed to leave my shift on time to make it for my exams, they gave me an ultimatum. I walked out and quit that day.
The most stressful parts of the day are the lunch rushesz the large after school/work orders and closing time if you don't have a full crew. But I have good memories of working at McDonald's
When you work in the fast food or restaurant industry, you realize just how stressful the job can be. After working at starbucks for 2 years and now currently serving in a higher end restaurant, I have a huge amount of respect and patience whenever I go somewhere to eat. You actually understand why there are long wait times and why sometimes you get your orders wrong because in such a high stress environment workers tend to panic and rush to get their jobs done as fast as they can to keep a smooth workflow, which would result in plenty of errors along the way. Customers that decide to confront or complain to the workers for their mistakes takes a lot of toll on their morale, and could result in even more mistakes because you stress them out even more. In the end, I urge more people to be more patient with their experiences at food establishments, especially fast food. Don't give workers shit just because they forgot to give you light ice on your drink, just let them know by speaking to them in a respectful way and you'll get your orders corrected.
As someone who recently quit mcdonalds, I can say that this is basically how my work shifts went when working there, and now this feels nostalgic to me lol.
I like the efficiency of how you make the burgers, I've never seen how they're made so you look like a whole pro doing that shit man, I respect that immensely.
I also used to work at McDonald's but at the front instead of the kitchen. I never had a particular talent for working there but at times where it was really busy I felt like the flash doing 5 things at once
I remember like 10 years ago when patties were cooked to order instead of being placed in a tray. Only the deep fried ones (chicken patties, nuggets etc.) were placed in trays. I understand this is more efficient but man, have the burgers dipped in quality when you order at the wrong time
That’s why it tastes like crap. Can’t count how many times in the past where I had cold food from McDonald’s. Glad I haven’t eaten there in almost 4 years.
the interview wasn't hard. we did it in a group answering questions like what is good customer service. we all did pretty much the similar answers so we probably all got the job.
Thank you, Stephen. Yesterday i finished my interview, currently waiting on a call. Im hoping i can get the job, and ive been binging your videos to increase my confidence. THANK YOU!!!❤
As a Junior Shift Coordinator, I know the amount of crap these workers are put through, especially by their managers. I was treated horribly, so I made it a point to get into management so I could be that one positive light about coming to work. And now I can stick up for the crew when they are treated in ways they shouldn’t be. I realize that if I want respect, I have to give it too (and that’s hard being underage and nobody wants to listen to me) but when we finally come agreements, everything runs smoothly in my area. Thank you for what you do and go through!
Just quit my job here because I wasn’t getting scheduled hours enough. I usually dreaded my shifts but there are definitely a lot of aspects of this job that I’m going to miss. Mostly wrapping sandwiches, it’s probably the most satisfying thing ever.
As someone who worked for McDonalds years ago seeing you call when a tray is out of patties is so nice, I never got that type of help from co-workers. I would have to constantly check if trays were out and if a tray was out the manager wouldnt be happy.
@@unluqy yeah pretty much 😂 always be screaming at me that no Reg meat was in there and why I wasn’t checking like bruh just let me know when it’s out when you use the last of it 🥴 Also how the fuck we both apart of the hvh community lmao
I love seeing how different restaraunts are I work at one in Bulgaria and yeah our restorant is a lot different a bit more chaotic dunno where this one is
I have been working at mcdonald’s for around 2 years and a half. I was in the kitchen and even if in my mcdonalds the kitchen isn’t the same, I found it quite cool (otherwise, I wouldn’t have stayed). I made good memories. When you get how it works, it’s ok. I loved it when we had rough times and everyone panicking when they would see 999s on screen lol. Loved the challenge, and was maybe a little bit sadistic seing my coworkers panicking over it, but might just be me
I work at a mcdonalds in the netherlands and its really interesting to see the differances and the similaraties u have the same tools but we have different wrappers and a different line settup
I can’t believe all these years later, they still construct these burgers in the same way. That’s amazing! McDonald Brothers made those ketchup and mustard shooters over half a century ago and they are still being used. So cool. This is a lot of work!
I’ve never worked in the fast food industry (I went the retail route), but mad respect to the hardworking people who work there. I couldn’t fix myself a burger if I tried.😪
Man. Good on ya. I sure in the hell couldn't do that every day for work. Not for what fast food workers get paid. The most underappreciated group in the workforce.
I don't understand why people talk down on other people about there jobs. I value integrity and hard work in any job. Your doing your part in society and making your paper the best that you can. I hope this man has a blessed life in all that he does.
Working 9-5s fucking suck. The customers act like kids who do whatever they want because their parents aren't in close proximity. And the managers act entitled as hell when they do the least labour etensive work. Warehouse jobs are even worse since your colleagues take the place of customers in this sphere, I've had horrible experiences stowing at Amazon. It got to the point I was clearing 7 isles because other people were sitting in their cars and the Higher ups who sit on the laptops all day couldn't be bothered to lift a finger.
I used to work at McDonald’s and as stressful and shitty as the work could get, this honestly brought back some nostalgia and almost felt satisfying. That is, before 4pm
I’ve worked in the restaurant industry as a cook/sue chef for years and it enlightens me to see a cook handle the food with respect even though it’s fast food it should never matter thank you sir. Every McDonald’s I usually go to the burger looks stepped on a hundred times over.
Thanks for sharing this! I’m having a nostalgia moment. Worked there for two years. It was the best of times and the worst of times. But the crew kept me sane. Again thanks for sharing bro.

I can't think of a more polite term to describe something that close to inedible which toxifies one's own organs and pollutes the atmosphere of others who end up sharing said atmosphere.
It basically creates a biohazard, doing the exact opposite of something like healthy swede, couscous, kale, nut roast - even organic meat and fish cooked properly.
Flush out your organs with white tea, green tea, matcha, cyder vinegar - basically everything to forget you ever set eyes on that "stuff", and never look back.
You work at a McDonald's? 😐
@@Jodio-Joestar yeah😐
I worked 3 years in McDonalds which isn’t much but it was enough to understand what they deal with and go through on a daily basis. People don’t realise some of the abuse fast food workers can get and because of that I will always treat any worker in any industry with respect and kindness.
Be kind folks, they are humans too just trying to make an honest living and serve you.
Nah. Fast food workers nowadays r lazy asf. Slow as hell too.
@@andy8034 well that’s definitely not me I hate that I’m killing myself for ungrateful people
@@andy8034 Its not a matter of being lazy or not willing to work. You have to realise what gets said to these workers every single day by both customers and managers, you really think that gives them motivation to work at maximum potential? Most fast food chains are severely understaffed on certain days because the stores want to save money on labour which puts more pressure on the few staff members who are working. I get it, it’s a job so get over it. But at the end of the day all they’re trying to do is do their job and go home, they have no reason to act lazy or slow because it simply wouldn’t benefit anyone.
But I guess to understand that you’d have to have worked in that type of environment before because I certainly didn’t know what it was like before I worked in the industry.
@@andy8034 hope someone spits in your food the next time you eat fast food
En France les contrats McDonald's sont exclusivement occupés par des jeunes étudiants. McDonald's quasiment pas de contrat de travail à temps plein pour ses équipiers mais que des temps partiels. C'est illégal d'obliger quelqu'un à occuper un temps partiel si il ne le veut pas. Mais McDonald's impose à ses futurs employés employés ce choix. Les plannings sont plus sécurisés, plus faciles à faire en ayant beaucoup de petits contrats à sa disposition, plutôt qu'un nombre restreint d'employés à temps plein. Bref impossible de faire carrière car ce sont des emplois de dépannage. (Cela a été démontré notamment par le magazine français cash investigation et une caméra cachée)
À savoir que le marché français est le deuxième au monde après les États-Unis pour McDonald's
Gosh remembering where everything is, the assembly recipe, and then any special requests (like no pickles etc) I’d get so anxious. Good work so appreciated
Thank you! and food workers everywhere! I work in food as well and it’s nice to see people still care about the products they serve
Thank YOU...guy comes in..just wants a burger and a drink.
This fails to capture the wretchedness of too many managers, too many drugged up coworkers, and the insane public who will froth with anger when breakfast ends or begins. It's like this, but with a 5x higher power of making you wish the building would catch ablaze with you in it
The worst part is lazy co workers, but that's most jobs
@@crakermac3818 Your co-workers know they are being paid far too little to exhaust themselves for a bunch of billionaires. Of course it sucks to have employees work at a drastically lower speed than you do, it only makes work worse in general, however I still understand the frustration that most workers get from this kind of job because it is specifically designed to squeeze every last penny of value out of your labour. Grinding away at such a job is hardly a virtue.
@@luc6284 yeaaaaaa I'm not buying, majority of peeps are just lazy.

Have you seen "Falling Down"? It has scene of a guying threating the workers at a fast food place with guns, because breakfast just ended.
Man, I can see that this fellow puts some soul into this otherwise soulless position. Just the little things, attention to detail, like centering the patties and cheese onto the bun before wrapping, portioning the pinch of lettuce and then carefully putting it on. Also keeping his coworkers updated when containers are out. I work at a fast food place, and these practices are expected at my store, but hearing the stories from coworkers who came from different restaurants, too frequently I hear where they came from was a dumpster fire. Nobody giving a rip, things unmaintained, no communication, sloppy work, no pride.
I appreciate how you take your job seriously, and just judging from the background chatter, it sounds like your coworkers do as well to some degree.
it takes a special kind of person to take pride in this kind of work
It's all down to the working culture in the restaurant and it starts from the manager. Normally things are fine if the manager cares enough.
I've worked in a number of fast food restaurants and have seen how management affects employees and the working environment.

Imma need a longer version of this, it’s kind of oddly satisfying
i remember working at McDonald's. The job itself is demanding but easy and rewarding. What I hated the most were the a-hole managers that sucked all possible positivity out of the whole experience. I don't know why you need 4 managers to see after 2 crew but that's how the McDonalds I worked at rolled. But I love McDonalds and still eat there. All the food I prepared I made as though it was for me so it was always good and accurate. I don't think I deserved all the grief I got from the McManagement.
How is it demanding and easy and rewarding at the same time. Now I totally get what you're saying working on the line however what I'm commenting on is the paradox of your statement that most regular people wouldn't understand

I last worked at McDonald's in 1998ish. It's fun to see that they are still using the same equipment/methods still. When I started we would make bulk orders of burgers and waited for customers to buy from a pile of sandwiches lol
Ya, worked at mcds in hs 2003-2005 and it's nearly the same. Dispensers are a little different and we had to use stickers to put the tickets on the wrapper, otherwise it's no different.

So nostalgic, remember working at mcdonalds for about 4 years or so in the high school days. Lemme tell you it was fun during quiet periods, get to chat up with co-workers, not much orders to make. But when shit hits the fan and rush hours starts, that's when it becomes really demanding and can physically wear you out. Overall it was a great experience to build a good working habit and the co-workers i was with were fun to talk to, as we were just a bunch of high school kids running the store except the manager who was like probably 30s idk
I wish I had coworkers like yours. I hate like 80% of mines and the good ones always quit
@@Jackietubepro makes you think eh?
@@Jackietubepro fuck coworkers, working alone is the best thing ever
I know what you mean. Used to work at a local fastfood chain very similar to mcdonalds for 4-5 years during my time in uni and to me it's both a bit nostalgic seeing this and also interesting to see the difference between this and my local fastfood chain.
The biggest difference I can see is that normal patties were always cooked to order, they were never put in those holding bins. Only fried fish/chicken patties (and finger foods) because those took too long. I actually kinda enjoyed working in the kitchen there too, just hammering out those burgers. And yeah it can be pretty exhausting, especially when you're the only one in the kitchen against 3 cashiers and a full restaurant of people. Good times.
And absolutely agree, good managers and good coworkers made all the difference. If it wasn't for them I would've never stuck around for as long as I did.
I remember working at Little Caesars fresh out of high school. Guys would sell bud out the back door, managers meeting meant let's drink some Jack in the cooler. My manager was my buddy, we'd all roll into there at midnight, fire up the oven and drunk as hell make pizzas, chicken wings whatever. It was a good time.
i work somewhere where you make the food in front of the customer and i'm not sure how this man manages to not go numb just making mcdoubles without some sort of audience or communication
five guys?
lol i enjoy not talking to people and just focusing in work, relaxing
Subway?
MyEdibleShitStick?
I fucking hate talking to people at my Job. Being alone there is Bliss (i work at a mass producing cake/pie factory)
Those sirens and alarms are giving me massive ptsd from when I worked there 😭 Some of those dinner rushes made me feel like the flash.
Respect to anyone doing this constantly for any longer than just a week!
Things have changed a lot since I was an assistant manager at McDonalds in the late 80s. Everything was a "dance" - from staging the buns and toasting them to pulling the meat onto the dressed buns when the meat timer went off in less than 3 minutes for the regular burgers. In rush situations, you could have a separate person working the toasters, one cooking the meat, and one dressing buns for hours on end. Grill maintenance was important as well, or you could end up with a grill fire on your hands.
Would of been better in 80s
I'd love to order a grill fire.
That's still how it is largely done today. You normally have 2 or 3 people on each line, one putting buns in the toaster, getting the paper wraps prepared, one dressing the burgers, and one putting the meat in and wrapping.
There is always someone assigned to only grill and only chicken frying, they're only flexed by a line worker when it's incredible slow, like in this video.
I bet the biggest changes are in the flavor and use of organic materials in the food!! Edit; and the size of the portions, buns, patties etc.
@@rickjamesb. Sizes are the same, you can check this stuff. The recipes haven't changed near as much as you think.
0:37 sounded like he said frag out 😂
The way he's wrapping the burger is pretty satisfying. idk why
I love how this man is honestly just so calm while preparing the meal. 👏
I don't get why people look down at people working at McDonalds. It looks really stressful, I don't think I could handle it. I have so much respect for McDonalds employees.
It certainly was stressful, in my experience at least. The managers of the store where I used to work at would schedule their employees to work alone in the kitchen on a weekly basis. This meant that I would have to handle cooking and assembling burgers, etc. The kitchen typically has two lines where two employees can simultaneously assemble sandwiches, but, I end up having work both lines of orders. Breakfast and lunch time rushes were difficult. Opening was rough because of all the prep involved. This includes things such as making parfaits, baking cookies and pies, making breakfast burritos, making salads, filling up the ice cream machine, prepping kitchen cooking utensils, turning on the grill, etc.
@@wangyang8853 Omg this is actually what happened to me as well. I was always working in night shifts and there would be only 3 people in the building alone. The person who picks up orders and gives out orders, 1 in the kitchen, and someone cleaning. That's it, we would always ask for 1 more person atleast so we wouldn't have to make the customers wait and etc but no the upper head didn't give a sh*t about us, plus the payment was bad as well. We always had f'd up schedule as well... Imagine working till midnight and then going back to 9 am or 8 am. It was such a bullsh*t. I liked working there though cuz i made a lot of new friends but it became stressful and everything so i quit.
@@wangyang8853 i was always in the kitchen or was cleaning since i didn't socialize myself with people and hated drunk customers as well. But when half the city just goes to McDonalds after a party and you have to make like 1000 orders alone and get trash payment, hell nah i gave up and quit.
@@NotSoSushi Yep, we had enough staff to schedule two people in the kitchen, but management was cheap. I was a fresh college student at the time too and they wouldn't let me go after my shift was over. I had midterms and despite me giving them a two weeks notice that I needed to leave my shift on time to make it for my exams, they gave me an ultimatum. I walked out and quit that day.
The most stressful parts of the day are the lunch rushesz the large after school/work orders and closing time if you don't have a full crew. But I have good memories of working at McDonald's
0:49 As you can see, the man is really good at singing the McDonald's song
When you work in the fast food or restaurant industry, you realize just how stressful the job can be. After working at starbucks for 2 years and now currently serving in a higher end restaurant, I have a huge amount of respect and patience whenever I go somewhere to eat. You actually understand why there are long wait times and why sometimes you get your orders wrong because in such a high stress environment workers tend to panic and rush to get their jobs done as fast as they can to keep a smooth workflow, which would result in plenty of errors along the way.
Customers that decide to confront or complain to the workers for their mistakes takes a lot of toll on their morale, and could result in even more mistakes because you stress them out even more.
In the end, I urge more people to be more patient with their experiences at food establishments, especially fast food. Don't give workers shit just because they forgot to give you light ice on your drink, just let them know by speaking to them in a respectful way and you'll get your orders corrected.
As someone who recently quit mcdonalds, I can say that this is basically how my work shifts went when working there, and now this feels nostalgic to me lol.
I like the efficiency of how you make the burgers, I've never seen how they're made so you look like a whole pro doing that shit man, I respect that immensely.

The way he folds the burger wrap is satisfying
I remember like 10 years ago when patties were cooked to order instead of being placed in a tray. Only the deep fried ones (chicken patties, nuggets etc.) were placed in trays.
I understand this is more efficient but man, have the burgers dipped in quality when you order at the wrong time
That’s why it tastes like crap. Can’t count how many times in the past where I had cold food from McDonald’s. Glad I haven’t eaten there in almost 4 years.

Hey, how's the job going?
As a Junior Shift Coordinator, I know the amount of crap these workers are put through, especially by their managers. I was treated horribly, so I made it a point to get into management so I could be that one positive light about coming to work. And now I can stick up for the crew when they are treated in ways they shouldn’t be. I realize that if I want respect, I have to give it too (and that’s hard being underage and nobody wants to listen to me) but when we finally come agreements, everything runs smoothly in my area. Thank you for what you do and go through!
I was so impressed to see how smoothly and professionally he wrapped the burgers
Just quit my job here because I wasn’t getting scheduled hours enough. I usually dreaded my shifts but there are definitely a lot of aspects of this job that I’m going to miss. Mostly wrapping sandwiches, it’s probably the most satisfying thing ever.
