All storage trays and cooking equipment is constantly being cleaned of course. Areas that food is prepared should be getting cleaned constantly by the worker on the area, when they are not busy fulfilling an order.

The strict training programme says you are meant to spend a month in the kitchen before touching a float (till) but most places don't do this.

You'll either be trained in the kitchen or the till on your first shift, don't worry you'll have someone with you at all times :)

Good luck

Don't you have to be 18 to work on a till?

I dunno, it's 16 then? I got the wrong age.

McDonalds doesn't sell any age restricted products, so it's 16. Even if they did someone who is under 18 can still work on tills, although the cannot sell any restricted item themselves, unless they get permission from someone who is at or over the age restriction on the item. Obviously McDonalds doesn't have this policy but we do at Sainsbury's as do many other supermarkets. The only places that will have an age restriction of 18 for till workers are places like Game and HMV as they are constantly dealing with items which could carry an age restriction and therefore would be too much hassle to have someone standing over their shoulder authorizing transactions.

That's my understanding of it anyway. Best of luck with your new job to the OP :).

Tip, don't violate ma burgers


Otherwise your good

I worked there for 3 months, on your first few days you will either be trained to used the tills or in the kitchen, you'll get a "buddy" who will show you what to do by you shadowing them for the first few days. Make sure you know who the managers are so you know who to ask if you have any problems/questions. Make sure you know who your shift manager so you can ask to go on your break, you need a 1 hour break once you'ved worked 6 hours. Everyone there is really friendly, if someone asks you to do somthing don't be like "I don't want to do that"

Anyway i'm sure you'll enjoy working there and will make loads of friends.
