THIS IS 100% TRUTH !.I WORKED AT MCDONALDS IN NEWCASTLE FOR 1 YEAR AND DURING THAT
YEAR I EXPERIANCED MANY THINGS THAT MAY PUT YOU OFF BUYING FOOD
OR WORKING FOR MCDONALDS.I STARTED WORK AT ú2.60 PH PAID MONTHLY AT THE START OF EVERY SHIFT
I CLOCKED IN AND AT THE END I CLOCKED OUT. THIS IS DONE ON A MINI
COMPUTER CALLED A `HUNTER' HOWEVER ON OCCASIONS DURING MY WORK I
SAW MANAGERS AND THE FRANCHISEE TAMPERING BY REDUCING THE SHIFT
PEOPLE HAVE CLOCKED IN FOR BY MINUTES SOMETIMES HOURS TO SAVE MONEY.
ONLY IF INDIVIDUALS COMPLAINED WOULD THEY REFUND THE MONEY IF THEY
COULD PROVIDE PROOF. AT WHICH CASE IT WAS PUT DOWN TO `COMPUTER ERROR'-
PROBABLY MAKING THE FRANCHISEE THOUSANDS OF POUNDS PER YEAR.I HAVE SEEN BURGERS LITERALLY HALF COOKED AND RAW SERVED TO CUSTOMERS,
BURGERS DROPPED ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR AND SERVED, CHICKEN AND FISH
SERVED HALF COOKED AND CHEMICALS FALL ONTO PREPERATIONS SURFACES
AND NOT CLEANED UP.I MUST ALSO STRESS THAT W.LIDDY- THE FRANCHISEE IS BEING SUED FOR SERVING A
RAW BURGER WHICH WAS CONSUMED BY A THREE YEAR OLD TODDLER WHO THEN NEEDED
A BLOOD TRANSFUSION.ALSO STAFF ARE MEANT TO WASH THEIR HANDS EVERY 1/2 HOUR. IF YOU HANG AROUND
YOU WILL PROBABLY NOTICE THEY NEVER WASH THEIR HANDS. I HAVE SEEN A MEMBER
OF STAFF TAKE A DUMP UPSTAIRS AND NOT WASH THEIR HANDS YET CONTINUE PREPARING FOOD.AND IF YOU ARE WONDERING HOW THE STAFF WERE TREATED THEN HERES A TYPICAL EXAMPLE -
ON A NINE HOUR SHIFT YOU WILL EITHER GET YOUR BREAK IN THE FIRST HOUR OF YOUR SHIFT
OR NOT AT ALL IF YOU ARE WORKING ON THE TILLS. YET YOU WILL CONSTANTLY BE ASKED TO
STAY ON FOR NO EXTRA MONEY.WHEN I WAS 16 I WAS CONSTANTLY ASKED TO STAY UNTIL 2 IN THE MORNING TO HELP CLEAN UP -
WHICH IS ILLEGAL !THIS IS JUST A TASTER I WILL WRITE BACK SHORTLY WITH SOME REAL STORIES FROM ME AND
OTHER EX AND CURRENT EMPLOYEES.SEE YA SOON. CHEERS
