Mc Donald's on S. University
-
Yeah but talking at the front counter (swearing, goofing off, talking about personal issues that may offend customers) is bad for business. You piss off one customer, they tell ten. It just isnt right, go in the back break room and enjoy a couple of minutes. Not in the lobby of a restaraunt.

I have never really ever had a pleasant dining experience at McD's. They are slow as shit for drive-thru even when they have two ordering lanes.

Well i know i am chimming in kind of late. I happen to work at McDonalds up here in GF and i know we can get kind of slow and shit like that but every resturant you can go to can be slow. Red Lobster or Dairy Queen no place is perfect we all have our days that we are gonna mess up on wheather the problem is being short staffed or just having stupid people working. I know the managers we have dont take shit like that and they dont really care they will fire your ass. I dont think it really matters where you work as long as you have pride in how and where you work. I am a 15 year old kid that works there and can get loud once in a while but when it comes down 2 it all you guys where once our age and did the same shit. So dont bring the age into it, i know when your working your not suppost to be talking about child support but it happens. And for the guy who had the messed up Big Mac im sorry about that because my mcdonalds dosnt do that and treat our food like that. I know some this might not make sence and im sorry but thats all i have to say.

Its for a cop!

Also they are taking advantage of the fact that all the local store managers and supervisors are down in las vegas this week so most of the managers dont even give a shit what goes on. The South University mcdonalds is well known around the local mcdonalds' as the slack/shit mcdonalds though, they dont give a shit about anything. Your best bet would be 8th street or east10 (sometimes.....we have a couple of retards that work here). I dont really know about any fargo restaurants other than the fact that S. University is a slack store. Some of th emanagers there are ... Cody Gilbertson and Rachel Bannerman, rachel is probably gone but if you talked to her she'd probably do something about it, she used to work here and was anal about shit like that. The store's head manager is Shane....dont know his last name, hes pretty cool. Yeah....thats my story. Mcdonalds is gay.
EDIT: yeah i chimed in late because i was at work (at mcdonalds) from 11 this morning til now.
Another thing: I know you've probably experience this darkelvis but not everyone has, working fast food is NOT a cakewalk by any means. Sure its not hard at all, but ask ANYONE who has worked fast food and they usually say that their cubicle job or any other job was MUCH better than fast food was. We have to deal with the scum of the earth there, believe me. People can be so rude/inconsiderate/stupid it makes you want to just pull out a pistol and shoot em right in the face. Anyone who has dealt with the public for a job knows this, but it seems like fast food just...attracts the idiots of the earth. My friends came through drive thru once while i was on it and i told them before that they should act really weird so i know its them but not to say my name in case a manger was wearing a headset. When the pulled up to my window i had no idea it was them til they got there because their idea of "being weird" was our average customer. People are complete fucking idiots. Cut us a little slack, with labor laws and stuff fast food is pretty much all we have to work. Not saying any of the above is an excuse to swear on counter or totally ignore customers, but seriously, we have to deal with some real shitbags and after about 8 of them in a row your patience wears very thin. I should seirously right a book with some people that work fast food just to show some stories, and also get the drive thru recorder to work and record some drive thru conversations that happen because seriously.........the average american is a fucking idiot from my experience.

Well, lets see here how about this:"lol. I want to see you afford a Veilside S2000 or a Full bomex Eclipse, or a near 500 hp TA working fast food. Your a real retard. good for you that you can afford to go to chef school. Shut the fuck up or get off the boards. You have never posted anything but negetive shit here. Dave in an engineer. To him, your just a lousy cook that works for him when he wants to go eat seafood. Your not the shit!"I cause problems? What about you and your buddies at Taco Bell the other night?Like I have stated to many people from this board that I have met in person. I hate 99% of the people on this board, most of you are immature little spoiled shits that have never had to pay for a single thing in your life. I try to be an ass, I try to piss people off, I find it funny. Plain and simple, I don't want to make friends with people here, and I don't care how much shit I start. Those who I respect give me the respect I deserve, the people that I talk shit to deserve it.
You know nothing about me, yet you still talk shit. I've seen many of your other posts and most of them are you just cocking off. Learn to respect people, and you will get respect in return. Until then, just keep hanging out with the fucks that are giving the scene an even worse reputation.
You cant come to my birthday then. -
well i can say is get use to it!
because the younger generation has been brought up with very little morals or work ethics, most expect a free paycheck or hand outs, now im not saying that every fast food employee is a slacker, im just saying that the younger generation are a bunch a spoiled bratsmost people that u see doing these un-exceptable in most places of work habits, think they are to good for the amount of pay they get, and therefor act this way and either get fired or never receive an advance in pay and/or promotions. which creates an endless cycle of retardedness
this isnt always the case there is still hard workers out there, its just the majority of bad employee's stick out more compared to the good ones, kind of like a riced out civic doing a burn out in a school parking lot gives anybody with a modded vehicle a bad name
i think the biggest thing these people need to relize is that everyone has to start somewhere, work wouldnt be called WORK if it was fun
now get me my damn cheesburger in under a minute with a smile and a thank you!
-
i hear you, but (not trying to restart this argument) there is a point that an individual has to draw the line and say "my cheeseburger in under a minute with a smile and a 'thank you' gets me the same $6.5/hr that ted's 1-2 minute cheeseburger with a half-smile and 'thank you' get him...
the harder i work, the more i get payed the same..."
that is one of my favorite sayings, because it is so incredibly true. the more work a person with an hourly wage does, the less they feel compensated for it. will i work my butt off for 10 hours of $7? no, i'll do enough to get by. will i work harder for $9+? you bet, because paying more shows some appreciation for the hard work that i do. this is most obvious when i make $10/hr for working quickly and diligently, while ted (who is slow and clumsy) still gets $7/hr.
why do i run everywhere and drive fast when i'm delivering pizza? why am i consistently the fastest driver in my store? because the more deliveries i can take, the more money i can make - there is a direct connection between the two, and my income usually reflects it.
sure, your management can be nice, thank you for your job well done and give you a card on your birthday, but when it comes down to it, money is what you're working for. i'd rather do enjoyable work for management that rarely acknowledges my presence but pays me very well, instead of management that thinks kindness is some kind of benefit, bonus, or payment -

And labor laws need to be abolished. I mean seriously.......i can drive a car but cant do it while clocked in. Nor can i stand on a ladder or 1 foot step stool, but can still work around 400 degree oil, 350 degree grills, and use sharp objects. Its stupid. There should be a way to have parents and the kid sign off so labor laws dont affect you. -
what you said there adam is why i got fired from bytespeed...i simply told them i wouldnt work any harder for what i was getting paid...and i guess they didnt like that too much...but face it we were overworked and underpaid...considering 4 people churned out enough computers for us to be in the top 10 distributors in the country...wait that was kinda off topic

I'm going to chime in my .02 on this subject. I have been managing a hotel for over a year now, and couldn't agree LESS with what you are saying.
the harder i work, the more i get payed the same..."

Coming from a management perspective it is much more complicated then just saying people will work harder if you pay them more, because this is not always true. Over the last years of management/supervisory experience I have had my situations that have contradicted what you are saying. Soemtimes yes, you spend the extra money to bring in someone at a higher salary (lets say 7.00), and at times you get lucky and find someone with some dedication to their job, and a solid work ethic. However, 9/10 times you will get the same results as the person who you are paying $5.50. I mean don't get me wrong I started at the bottom like everyone else. I'm now 22 years old and have worked my way up the ladder to where I am now. I know where you guys are coming from, it's hard to live off of 5.50-7.00/hr. However, you still need to prove yourselves, work hard, and show management that you deserve to get paid more. If you maintain a quality of work that is marginal at best, how do you expect to be recognized? You just expect management to pay you more, and assume that your quality of work will increase? Because most of the time these do not change porportionally.
Sure, your management can be nice, thank you for your job well done and give you a card on your birthday, but when it comes down to it, money is what you're working for. i'd rather do enjoyable work for management that rarely acknowledges my presence but pays me very well, instead of management that thinks kindness is some kind of benefit, bonus, or payment
On a survey that was published lately, they polled hundreds of American workers, and the #1 thing they were looking for in their job was not higher pay. Pay was #3. Off the top of my head, I believe the #1, and #2 thing people wanted was knowing what was expected of them, and having their work appreciated. Maybe Brian can chime in on this one?
To sum up a lot of jumping around from topic to topic, I agree with some things you are saying, but I disagree the pay is the bottom line for employee performance. There are too many people these days with no work ethic, that are just their to do what they need to do to get by, to get their paycheck, and are not willing to go the extra yard. However, the people that are, are they people that are groomed for higher positions, who are promoted, and continue to be successful. All I'm saying is that you can not walk into ANY situation, whether it be McDonalds, or a Fortune 500 company thinking they owe you anything. YOU need to prove your ability, and that you are willing to work.
