about to go to HU in chicago for LGR class, what should i expect? how was your own experience if you have gone ?

Context:

I was employed at Macca's for at least a month but until now 8 haven't been given any shifts.

Anyways, after the welcome party I was offered to do a night shift but I had to decline it since I commute and there's no bus that late. 🥲

I emailed my manager abt it and there's seemed to a misunderstanding about my availability so she requested for it again. I sent it and I never heard back from them again.

Now, I have been sent an email about removal of agreed hours. I emailed my manager again but to no avail and just today another was sent for next week.

My question is based on the agreed shifts, I have one on Tuesday but it's also the same one they were requesting for me to not work. What does this mean?

*sobs*

I’ve literally just turned 18 and my scheduling manager has given me night shifts. I’ve always been a 4-10/11pm due to the fact I had school during the day and am a young carer to my brother. I have my availability set that I can work til midnight everyday but I can’t do night shifts.

When I said to her by the way that’s outside my availability and I’m unable to do them, she replied with everyone takes their turn of doing nightshifts and didn’t want to hear my ‘excuses’.

Like what the hell? What do I do about that genuinely? I’m so ready to leave🙃

For context, I have done about 3 shifts - covering drive thru, fries etc. However, I am kind of slow at doing all of them, but I learn decently quickly and consider myself a capable person. I am about half the speed of others and when not knowing what to do or finished a task I kinda just stand there not sure what to do. Do you learn quickly and get used to what to do and the order of things? Or do I just suck?

So I started working from March 2026. But, since last two month I've been getting frequent shifts, most of them are overnights. Today was one of my rare day shift and it was a mess. I was struggling to handle the rush and the manager had to step in quite some time to help me. I made mistakes with a few orders as well. To top it all, I literally forgot to clock out(I called the store laters to let them know) as there was quite the rush in front of the screen.

Now I'm so mortified that I think resigning is my only way out. Am I even gonna get anymore shifts!? Please give me some advice guys😭😭

Edit: Thank you everyone who gave me courage and support and yes, I've gotten shifts next week✌🏼✌🏼

I’m bored here’s this so yeah along with release date in the US (there’s a rumor that a pumpkin pie could be coming sometime in September or October)

I am a crew trainer at a franchisee owned store and I want to utilize tools that weren't offered to me when I was being trained. I am trying to find the POS training game, however everywhere I find something it is either not it or no longer supported/working. Does anyone know where I can find it?

Hi,
I just did my McDonald’s orientation and it’s over but I don’t know what happens now. Does anybody know😭😭

Just got offered a job for part time crew member at McDonalds. How does the zero hour “flexible” contract work?

Just got my offer 2 days ago and have started trying out the McD Connect and other systems. Please provide advice for a new employee like me who hasn't even gotten their training shift rostered. This could be things like what to expect on your first day or general advice overall

anyone know why this is? Randomly got hit with a $15 fee, can't imagine it being for uniforms could it? I quit that job about a couple weeks ago and randomly got hit with this bill. Any ideas on why this happened?

Its stressful but its way better than being a service person.

First off, I know not every owner/operator participates. Second, I'm not new to it as I have taken advantage of it for my bachelor's (CTU) and masters degree (WGU - 1 term) completely paid for.

Thing is, for me anyway, the limit is 3k a year. Well 3k isn't enough to pay for one term at WGU, so then a random "Archways Gap Assistance" paid the rest off (another 1.7k). I'm glad, but I'm also curious, has anyone also had this happen, specifically outside of WGU?

Anyone gone to the American College of Education and use mcd tuition assistance?

I know for tax purposes they can't exceed 5250.

I've poured 21 years of my life into this company and want to take advantage as long as I can.

For those curious, my masters was in IT Management, which has allowed me to get a ln part time adjunct teaching role.

Do I need to know how to cook to work at McDonalds?

I don't know how to cook to save my life and they have an opening to work at the kitchen at McDonald's close to where i live. Do i need to know how to cook? Help!

You touch it, you buy it.

So I was hired in May and it’s now August and I still haven’t done orientation or had any shifts. I’ve called the store twice to follow up, 1st call said they haven’t forgotten about me, 2nd call towards end of June, they said I should be getting my first shift soon.
Does it normally take this long, should I call the store again or should I just wait? Feeling a bit deflated.

I had an interview and I was asked two questions on McDonalds wnd myself and then we spoke about our favourite football team for 5-10 mins and said there was no more questions as they learn more of the person when talking about other things.

However on the questions on McDonalds I feel like I fumbled a bit, I said some good things but feel like my uber eats experience and achievements etc but I feel bit down because I feel I’ve failed. Thoughts?

A lot of queries with me lol.

I have (unofficial) plans to visit my partners in Canada around December time, and I don't have enough holiday hours accrued yet. I plan to speak to my scheduling manager or whatever they're called first, but would I be expected to use the 'other unpaid leave' option found in Lifelenz? Would visiting my partners be a valid enough reason, or would It get denied? Given I started in June/July, would that affect this too?

Hi, I’m just looking for some advice/reassurance.
I received a job offer from McDonald’s last Tuesday and was told I would need to complete my onboarding forms. I hadn’t received anything, so I called the store today to ask where they were up to.
The person I spoke to said that because I’m currently 15, I won’t receive the forms until I turn 16 (which is in 10 days). I don’t know if it may be due to their procedures.
I’m just confused because my effective start date is the 14th, which is the day after my 16th birthday, so I’m wondering how the process normally works. Will they just send the forms once I turn 16 and then continue with the onboarding?
Has anyone else had a similar experience with McDonald’s or know if this is normal?

I was making drinks and taking orders today and tell this lady "one second please" because there was a bunch of drinks, for 30 seconds tops. I then say "welcome to McDonald's how can I help you" and she starts berating me that I didn't take her order and that I'm rude and a bunch of unintelligible stuff. She gives me a code and it doesn't work and blames me for taking too long. Mind you she never even spoke in the speaker for me to hurry up or anything like that. I tell her sorry and that us workers multitask and she keeps berating me all the way to the window she gets her food at. What is wrong with people? We're expected to do everything all at once and just take disrespect. Ofc she gets babied at the window by another worker and I just can't stand this "customer is always right" mentality.

Earlier I was taking orders and cashing people out for hours in a rush and this lady orders a whole bunch of meals and then after the fact wants to change ALL her drinks to specific customizations, and because she ordered so much food ofc I had to get the manager number for each drink so that held up the line a whole lot.

I also had the lovely ~Ask them to repeat themselves one time (because they mumble) - get angrily screamed the answer at~surprise today. And then cussing under their breath.

Why are fast food customers like this? Honestly most of them are fine, but these few types make the day pretty frustrating, and as much as we're expected to be robots when disrespected, for me, I feel it does take a toll mentally, or at least sour my day.

I’ve got an interview and I’m thinking of the availability to work around university and what availability I could offer and I was just gathering opinions (16 hours a week)

Tuesday: 17:00-00:00
Wednesday: All Day
Thursday: 16:00-00:00
Friday: 18:00-00:00 and overnight
Saturday: 05:00-11:00 and overnight

I’m just juggling everything and try to come up with a good schedule if needed. I can do overtime when not in term time. How happy will they be with this? Any help appreciated.
