Another one who’s experience of the kiosk ordering is definitely slower than the previous way (and in several stores too). But I don’t think you’ll ever admit that’s possible
Rainshowers It’s certainly possible if the systems are not set up and utilised correctly. If the shift manager isn’t running their shift exactly how they should, problems can arise. My point is that it shouldn’t be, because EOTF is designed to faster and better than the old way.
But like I said above, it isn’t about serving you as quickly as possible anymore. We don’t just want to get you in, served, and have you out again; we want to give every customer a great experience, and while fast service is part of that, it is not all of that.
Why don’t you do the double cheeseburger as a meal?
It’s a saver item, so it cannot be put into a meal. A double on its own is £1.49, whereas a Quarter, like all extra value meal mains, on its own is £3.09.
Didn’t there used to be a two cheeseburger meal too?
Cheeseburgers are saver items; they won’t ever have been meals.
Why doesn't McDonald’s do a loyalty scheme?
NoLogicInThis We do a loyalty coffee scheme. Every time you buy a hot drink, take the little sticker off and place it on your card (on the side of every hot drink cup). Once you get 6 you get a free loyalty hot drink 
the manager used to make us clock off whenever it was quiet, was this a regular occurrence at the time or was he just a particularly bad manager?
justwantafreshstart McDonalds 20 years ago is a million miles away from McDonalds now, though nobody should ever have been made to clock out. It has always been that if you are scheduled a shift, you can be asked if you want to go home, say to help labour, but you cannot be forced to. You have a right to finish the shift if you want to.
Blueemeraldagain I’m not trying to paint some sort of “fake rainbows and kittens” experience, I am giving you my actual first hand experience.
Of course everyone’s experiences will be different, but you’ll notice throughout the thread the numerous people who have said they fondly remember working at McDonalds and loved it.
On the whole it is a great place to work. McDonalds is a fantastic company that cares about its crew and customers. Of course you will get a bad manager or whatever here or there, but you get that in every industry.
As for The Founder, I absolutely love that film!
