HelloHere are some more experiences that I have had at the McDonald's Restaurant where I work.
: You have a contract!!! Unfair i only get given what the manager who does the rosters feels like which means if i have ticked her off recently i get jackshit hours.
Of course I have a contract, everybody at our store has a contract. Some people have a 15-hour contract or a 25-hour contract or maybe a 38 hour contract. Once you have such a contract the manager has to give you that amount of hours. So when you have a 25-hour contract you can be sure that, every week, you have to work for 25-hours at the restaurant.
: Our managers find it no problem to ring at 6:30 am to see if i would like to work an open shift and telling them to fuck off generally isn't the answer they r looking 4.
That's incredible, my managers would never do that. After 1/2 year working at McDonald's the managers (and the other crew members) have become my friends. They know that that's not the way to ask somebody to come to work.
: ... we have to wear plastic gloves the large size is too big to do anything and the medium size rips everytime you put them on and so they r useless. i would go through about ten pairs in a 4 hour shift as during the lunch rush these things break so easily and think of all the plastic that is used to make all the gloves for all the mcworkers for all shifts. IT'S UNTHINKABLE.
Plastic gloves??? We don't have to wear plastic gloves.
I'd like to hear from you. Can it be that the working conditions are so bad where you live???
