McDonalds job

[Aces]

Well I've got the job, starting next weeks monday - but i'm nervous as hell as it's my first real job

any tips? what will i even be doing as i'm 16?

My cousin started today, he said it was easy enough.
They start a lot of new people together so you wont be alone and it's only a 4 hour shift.

I worked at McDonalds for over a year.

A job as a McDonalds crew member includes everything, cooking, cleaning and serving.

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

I work there, it piece of piss! You will get confused for first few days but after you got hang of it its easy. One word of advice though, dont backchat any of your bosses as they wont hesitate to fire you as they know they can replace you in seconds. A few mates who started with me got fired like this.

oh thanks guys, I'll keep that in mind

feeling a lot better already!

my friend on msn who is from dubai said when he worked there last year, they had him cleaning all the time - but i guess this varies from country to country

i think i'd rather clean then take peoples orders all day, standing still pressing buttons. good luck anyway.

It depends, Where i work you pretty much ither work on tills and cleaning (which the ladies tend to do) and then only men in kitchen.

Get used to doing the washing up, becuase you will be doing alot of it if your put on dive for an hour!
