Whenever I do McDonald’s for dinner, It would be 10 piece nuggets, medium fries and Oreo McFlurry. Breakfast is usually Sausage McGriddle, Hash Brown, and Hotcakes.
A Big Mac meal large with a Dr Pepper and a large strawberry milkshake I am a grill manager at my McDonald’s in Virginia thank you Stephen for the awesome videos and the awesome work you do
As an assistant manager and 12 yrs in this business I like your style, you actually use tongs, you keep the cabinet levels respectable not over flooded, you work fast but not terribly out of control fast. Delegating and communicating effectively. Looks like you qualify for hall of fame status lol
Never had I ever thought that I would actually watch 50 mins McDonald's POV video and end up liking it. There's something strangely soothing about it. it's passively chaotic and simultaneously really in order? it's good tho
def a shocker to me to see one person doing so much, I think most people don't think mcdonalds would require much thought or skill but it looks like youre working pretty hard.
It's kind of overwhelming to new people / outsiders but after a year or two everything becomes muscle memory because everything is always placed in the same position. When it becomes truly hard is when the restaurant is understaffed compared to the number of customers and one person has to fill in for multiple positions at once. I used to work in a really busy mcd and during my last few months after 4 years of working as a student this was what caused me to quit (alongside being able to find a job in the field I was studying in). It's not that I couldn't handle it, I was really fast and it was actually fun for me, I liked working like that, but my nervous system couldn't keep up. I had weird symptoms like random twitching (kinda like tourettes), I would go to bed and my leg would randomly kick occasionally, things like that.
i could watch this 48minutes without break.. its so statisfying to watch... "its just mcdonalds" but u handle it so serious and professionel... good man!
This job is hella chill if you get mature adults as coworkers who just let you do your job. The last Mcdonalds I worked at everyone inside was slowly going insane because it was super tiny, it was inside of a gas station, you couldn't move or work without touching other people. This might work in Japan or in an actual small business, but it doesn't work at a busy intersection. I remember one of the cooks used to stuff the UHC trays so high they would scrape the dirt and grime off the top of the UHC thing that wasn't cleaned enough. I would always cook my own lunches because of that, I would never let anyone else make my food at these places, let alone willfully go there to eat.
It is so weird to see how a McDonald’s kitchen operates now. A one man band handling the duties of what used to be four workstations staffed by four or five people. Bun toasting, the dress table, fish/chicken/nugget fry/dress station, and wrap/expo station. That’s not to mention the kitchen staff we dedicated to grill and fries. I feel for the employees in this setup during a rush. Back in the day, our small army would churn out orders quickly when things got crazy and it was still a challenge. I don’t know how anyone could be expected to fill orders quickly in a setup like this. That’s got to be crazy challenging.
Well, it’s actually no different. Most McDonalds have two sides to their kitchen table set-up. When I managed a McDonalds it was customary for a well-trained cook (usually an assistant or shift manager) to staff the side of the table this guy is working in this video. It’s meant for a max of 2 workers. The opposite side shown in this video is the side where we had one person on buns, one on vegetables, and one on meats and wrapping. There is also a grill and fry worker. Furthermore, we would only open the side this gentleman is working in this video when we would encounter our daily rush hours such as lunch and dinner, then we shut it down and continue working only the primary side of the table.
That’s why I could never be cut out for food service especially fast food, they have you doing everything all of the time. I would shut down and cry tbh
In australia there is about 5 people working on the burger creation line and usually 2 people working at the fries station and 1 lonely person at each drive thru window Im only a customer and the Cnr Coburns Road and Barries Road Maccas is really slow with their orders mabye its because if the manager who tf knows because im only a bloddy customer 🤣
Corperate Greed they brain wash you into thinking one person is capable of running the station alone meanwhile they make all that extra cheddar on your hard working back. During rush hour youre looking like a clown sweating scanning around for help lol its terrible and very humbling
I recently started working at McDonald's this week and it's so weird watching it through someone else's POV. At least you have more space. Thankfully we don't have the annoying beeping machines, we only have screaming microwaves/ovens
@@Arthur-0000I recently started at McDonald's as well, you have to be good at doing things fast paced, I'm not sure where you're at on the spectrum but if you can handle constantly beeping that's a good start, also you will learn pretty early on you can't let you're ocd get to you, nothing is going to be perfect and realistically if you're doing youre job right you're not going to be doing things perfectly. Also you're training will be them sending you back to a station and having someone (most likely a high teenager) teach you loosely and everything else you have to learn on you're own. Overall if you're autistic I wouldn't recommend the job but then again it might be perfect for you.
@@Arthur-0000hi, I'm on the spectrum as well and between the age of 15 and till the end of my last degree which was in teaching I worked part time at different places for example the supermarket, pizza hut, McDonald's and as a nanny. This was many years ago and at the time while I struggled with certain things socially I wasn't diagnosed until I was 32 which was a great relief because everything made more sense to me. I think the following are things for you to think about. Can you greet people, if eye contact is hard the trick is to look just above someone's eyes. Can you communicate basic information and recieve it for example in the kitchen if you need chicken nuggets can you call that out. Can you multi-task once you have learnt each process for example what goes into each burger without looking at a cheat sheet while assembling two other types of burgers. I know for myself the repeated actions of being on one station in the kitchen, routine table clearing, taking orders etc was methodical so I was in my comfort zone. I think you should give it a go so to help you get a job I suggest you practice answers for possible interview questions, know the menu well, the companies vision and mission statements, prepare a basic CV and if you get an interview remember that I did and I believe you can do it as well. I know I'm a complete stranger but if you have any questions or if you do go for it let me know how you get on. 😊

I used to work at a small-town McDonalds for 5 years it was my first ever job I was an Opener for grill and prep and Maintenace depending on call outs. I remember in our store it was a little behind where the kitchen was 1 whole unit with the friers and grill and line all in 1. countless times did I run the whole show in the back due to either call outs or no call no shows, I didn't hate it as it was a decent job and the flexibility at the time was worth it. I since moved on and work a union job and moved away but I never forget all the times I've had, and I still can make anything on the menu and do everything as if I never left. My Gm was the best boss I ever had, he was a gm for 40 years and he understood workers and family situations and could relate. He retired a month before I was leaving, and I remember shaking his hand and telling him how much he helped me. He always gave me Life Advice about how I needed to get out of here while I was young as he said I had a world to explore and far better opportunities.

No matter what i always admire anyone who does food service jobs. I feel like youre doing what you can to make a living the honest way and thats pretty awesome and comendable. Also i do love big macs so glad to know how the process is.
I've been working at a mcdonald's in the UK for nearly a year now and it's quite fascinating to how different the procedures are Loving the vids can't wait to see more
As someone who works in Del Taco it’s crazy how different McOdnald’s is adn especially just one person making the food. In the weekend it’s just me making all the food and prep as well, so i’ll be making guac in the back then go to the taco bar and make some burritos or burgers then if i’m lucky go finish my guac unless i hear the ding which means someone’s in the drive-through. You seem so calm and not stressed out at all when making order after order, can’t imagine lol
@@Daillest006 brother i just left over an hour early today for the third Sunday in a row because of how dead it is lmaoaoaoaoaoao we’re gonna close like every other Del Taco close to us.
I have to tell you, I've got mad respect for this guy. He does his job, he does it well, day in and day out. No questions asked, no explanation given. Just dependable. Hey corporate, you need to promote this guy. ASAP. Mesmerizing.
This was definitely a good video for someone who’s curious how a fast food worker lives out his days. I have a level of respect for you guys. Very interesting video, and great recording work man!👍🏻
Nobody wants to work for McDonald’s? Sure, but somehow people still work at McDonald’s either by choice or their friends from childhood got jobs at McDonald’s and they followed them
I always have and always will have tremendous amounts of respect for people who work at McDonalds, or other fast food chains for that matter. You guys work hard to give us some delicious food. Thank you!! 🥰
I used to work at McDonald’s for nearly 7 years and got to a crew trainer position. I was even offered a manager position once. People have no idea how hard we work to make their food. I remember doing all of this, plus fryers, grills, prep, and deep cleaning the filters for the fryers or changing the oil if I'm lucky. This dude has everything down pat, my only nitpick being that technically the tags are supposed to be put on the left-hand corner of the wrapper (at least that was what I was taught).
Man so many memories I was a shift manager for 7 years back in the early 90s. A closer. Miss that job it was a pain in the butt at times but had so much fun with my co workers
McDonald's was my first job (Part-time) whilst I was studying in college. College didn't actually do much for me but I think working at McDonald's taught me a lot more about life. This was when I was 16 back in 2015 and I worked there for about 1.5 years. This job is actually much more challenging than people think. You make it look easy in this video but I can tell you've been working here a while and it seems like you enjoy what you do! There are so many things to do at McDonald's people have no idea lol.
facts, was my first job during college too and it was some of the most stressfull times in my life but in a weird way, i kind of miss it, it was satisfying coming home sometimes, and cleaning/resetting the grill, or even just dishwashing , was kind of relaxing , but only once i had become comfortable at it, the first few weeks, i was making a lot of mistakes and making my managers mad lol.
I'm deaf but that's pretty cool to watch this. I saw what appeared to be mcrispy burger, which is my favorite choice since 90s.. I think this is pretty amazing to see how it's made or being prepared to serve customers.
I was shown your videos before the Christmas season and it's so interesting to see how you guys prep and assemble everything behind the scenes! The pace you showed in this video is similar to how I deal with being a cashier in my job; it's SO stressful when you're single handedly dealing with everything yourself. Props to you Stephen! Also, I love and hate these videos because I crave McDonald's more often than not now lol.
It was inevitable that the image of this man competing with SpongeBob SquarePants came to mind. Him preparing the burgers quickly and Bob with all the love in the world.
Hope everyone's staying warm! Snow's coming down hard here for the third day in a row. Nice to see an upload from Mr Patula, something fun to watch while stuck inside :)
Always a great watch. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences of McDonald's between countries, me being a Canadian McDonald's worker. I've always found it interesting the differences between our McChickens. What you guys call a McChicken we in Canada would call a Jr Chicken
This and electric scooter academy are like my go to videos. I worked at McDonald’s my sophomore year till junior year(2010-2011)I was the drive through cashier,never saw the action lol love these videos man!
As a sous chef who has been in the food service industry for around 25 years now, although the closest thing to fast food I've done was working at and eventually managing a Quiznos and later a Subway, I still find it extremely impressive to see how McDonalds is the fast food industry standard when it comes to speed and efficiency. It's truly a beautiful thing to see a particular franchise being run to perfection, as it is built for and intended to be run. Great pizza concepts do this extremely well too, and I'm fortunate to still be able to make some incredible brick oven pies at the restaurant I currently work for in Little Rock, AR. It seems like most in my profession wouldn't enjoy POV videos like this of others in this industry, as the mere sound of a ticket machine gives me anxiety, and tends to haunt my dreams.... LOL... but frankly I've always enjoyed watching videos of highly competent and capable employees doing their jobs effectively, and it should definitely give people some insight into what makes this business model work so well. It's also oddly relaxing, in an ASMR sorta way, to watch this content -- so well done all around!
Stephen, can you do a video someday where you go over what all the various sounds mean? Like the do-do-do-do-do sound and the cowbell sound, and the others?
Every beeping noise is a kind of timer. One for the frier, one for the grill for the meat, and other for the fries. The grill rings when the top part comes down or up so people don't burn themselves. The cowbell is for meat (most often quarter pounder) cause theyre supposed to be freshly cooked meat, so its there to notify it needs to be dropped.
The one I worked at was really fast and clean. The assistant managers actually their job. We have one of the best McDonalds in the state because we don’t put up with high school kids not being efficient. They work hard.
Thanks for teaching me so much, i now know how to order what i love at McDonald's, have told many McDonald's staff about your channel. from Toronto Canada.
I worked at Burger King (UK) during my time at university and this is absolutely the reality of working within fast food nowadays! Gone are the days where a kitchen had 5-6 folk to carry out the work. Watching this is bringing back the muscle memory of rapidly building burgers and sliding them down the chute haha!
Why do McDonald's fryers seem to constantly beep with different melodies and cadences? I know Henny Penny has the ability to propose filter cycles after so many cook cycles, but there seem to be many more alarms that constantly occur. @StephenPatula, can you do a video of where all the beeping comes from? Like, which pieces of equipment make specific sounds in your kitchen?
Most of the beeps are from the fryers, sounds like the ones used for fries in this vid. The one thats happening all the time is most likely it requesting the jib to checked, the moderate paced one is it requesting duty, which is when you shake the fries to make sure they don't clumbp, and the fast beeps are when the item is ready to be pulled from the fryer
@@HighLordComedian Also, one of the other fryer beeps is usually about auto filtering the vat to remove floating bits of breading. Could also be replacing the filter pad if it hasn't been done in a while (Changes store to store)
I remember I used to work at McDonald's back in my High School days. My friends/ classmates go to work after school. We would make our own style burgers. Good ole time.
When I was a swing manager at my McDs I would hate days like this because you knew you wouldn’t need a full staff so you had to decide who and where to cut and hope you still had enough people to cover.
As someone who worked full time at McDs back in the early 1990s, it got old real quick when a manager would send people home and an hour later 2 buses would pull into the lot at 10:30pm full of youth baseball kids. I worked at McDs for 3 years and found the core crew we had was worth working around.
Man I don’t know why but it’s so fascinating seeing the similarities and differences from two McDonalds in two countries I work at one in the UK and I see so much similar things, and I also see many differences lol
Mickey Ds is number 1 fast food restaurant by a long shot. The most consistent place in history, at least the ones around my area. There is no shame in doing a job no matter what it is, respect fast food workers!
You make this look pretty easy. How do you cope during a rush? You’re doing great and thank you for all your hard work 😊 I think fast food workers like you don’t get enough credit for what you put up with from the public sometimes 😔
Those sounds are like the bridge of the Enterprise D. Soothing sounds of regular operations. Means action, not stress.Fries? Ready. Cookies? Ready. 🍔🍟🍪
I bet this is not easy at all to do, especially when it gets busy. I actually got dizzy during parts of this vid when you were moving faster. But you got orders out. You got the job done. I admire that hard work. Aloha 😊🤙🏼👏🏼

No matter what i always admire anyone who does food service jobs. I feel like youre doing what you can to make a living the honest way and thats pretty awesome and comendable. Also i do love big macs so glad to know how the process is.
I've been working at a mcdonald's in the UK for nearly a year now and it's quite fascinating to how different the procedures are
Loving the vids can't wait to see more
im starting week, is it really hard like everyone say?
As someone who works in Del Taco it’s crazy how different McOdnald’s is adn especially just one person making the food. In the weekend it’s just me making all the food and prep as well, so i’ll be making guac in the back then go to the taco bar and make some burritos or burgers then if i’m lucky go finish my guac unless i hear the ding which means someone’s in the drive-through. You seem so calm and not stressed out at all when making order after order, can’t imagine lol
How busy is del taco
@@Daillest006 brother i just left over an hour early today for the third Sunday in a row because of how dead it is lmaoaoaoaoaoao we’re gonna close like every other Del Taco close to us.
@@aron1089 damn, do you ever get underpaid?
I have to tell you, I've got mad respect for this guy. He does his job, he does it well, day in and day out. No questions asked, no explanation given. Just dependable. Hey corporate, you need to promote this guy. ASAP. Mesmerizing.
Hes actually the owner of this location in the video. Bro works 6 days a week full shifts.
LoL😂
This guy is the man
This was definitely a good video for someone who’s curious how a fast food worker lives out his days. I have a level of respect for you guys. Very interesting video, and great recording work man!👍🏻
Interesting how nobody WANTS to work at McDonald’s but we like watching these videos, I guess knowing that we don’t have to deal with customers helps
I’ve worked there since February ( uk btw) it’s alright just hate the lunch time rush and working the grill but most people are sound
Fr that's a teenager or college student job. They aren't meant for careers
Nobody wants to work for McDonald’s? Sure, but somehow people still work at McDonald’s either by choice or their friends from childhood got jobs at McDonald’s and they followed them
kk
@@therealcheerioce Uh then who works there during school hours? lol
Great job. That walking back and forth is tougher than people think. You got the routine down good.
Love your comment
I always have and always will have tremendous amounts of respect for people who work at McDonalds, or other fast food chains for that matter. You guys work hard to give us some delicious food. Thank you!! 🥰
I used to work at McDonald’s for nearly 7 years and got to a crew trainer position. I was even offered a manager position once. People have no idea how hard we work to make their food. I remember doing all of this, plus fryers, grills, prep, and deep cleaning the filters for the fryers or changing the oil if I'm lucky. This dude has everything down pat, my only nitpick being that technically the tags are supposed to be put on the left-hand corner of the wrapper (at least that was what I was taught).
Don’t they burn the bread first
Watching this has something very calming.
Mr. Spatula back at it again showing us there is no better initiator + assembler than himself
he is a loser
Man so many memories I was a shift manager for 7 years back in the early 90s. A closer. Miss that job it was a pain in the butt at times but had so much fun with my co workers
I love watching it. I literally can't look away and at the same time i feel stressed looking at it 😂😂😅
うわー！！めちゃくちゃ懐かしい！！アッセンブラー楽しいよね…ピーク時死ぬけどww
ストッカーも気を付けないとビックマックの肉もうちょっと待って！あと10秒！とかあったなー…懐かしいwww
Thats why wendys or five guys is my go to
McDonald's was my first job (Part-time) whilst I was studying in college. College didn't actually do much for me but I think working at McDonald's taught me a lot more about life. This was when I was 16 back in 2015 and I worked there for about 1.5 years. This job is actually much more challenging than people think. You make it look easy in this video but I can tell you've been working here a while and it seems like you enjoy what you do! There are so many things to do at McDonald's people have no idea lol.
facts, was my first job during college too and it was some of the most stressfull times in my life but in a weird way, i kind of miss it, it was satisfying coming home sometimes, and cleaning/resetting the grill, or even just dishwashing , was kind of relaxing , but only once i had become comfortable at it, the first few weeks, i was making a lot of mistakes and making my managers mad lol.
I'm deaf but that's pretty cool to watch this. I saw what appeared to be mcrispy burger, which is my favorite choice since 90s.. I think this is pretty amazing to see how it's made or being prepared to serve customers.
I was shown your videos before the Christmas season and it's so interesting to see how you guys prep and assemble everything behind the scenes!
The pace you showed in this video is similar to how I deal with being a cashier in my job; it's SO stressful when you're single handedly dealing with everything yourself.
Props to you Stephen!
Also, I love and hate these videos because I crave McDonald's more often than not now lol.
I can’t stop watching Stephen patula
It was inevitable that the image of this man competing with SpongeBob SquarePants came to mind. Him preparing the burgers quickly and Bob with all the love in the world.
bro made more money off this video than his actual job at mcdoanlds
mcdonalds is the reason why hes making youtube money
@@bas0r i mean at least they’re doing something right because their wages are for sure not helping
He's the owner bro
He owns that store haha
@@felixbrynston2040 for real?
Hope everyone's staying warm! Snow's coming down hard here for the third day in a row. Nice to see an upload from Mr Patula, something fun to watch while stuck inside :)
stay warm we're getting more snow now too!
@@StephenPatulaare the metal tables clean or whatever they are called because you put the burgers on it without the wrapper
I appreciate the working folks coming to work during snow days. 👍
I would like to sincerely thank you and everyone who works in food restaurants. God bless you.
thank you for your service and satisfying me with delicious meals. hats off to you good sir. 🤠👍
Always a great watch. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences of McDonald's between countries, me being a Canadian McDonald's worker.
I've always found it interesting the differences between our McChickens. What you guys call a McChicken we in Canada would call a Jr Chicken
And the mcchicken is Canada is a chicken sandwich right?
yeah the mc chicken in america is different to the ones in Australia, we use the quarter bun and it gets its own clam instead of the wrapping paper
Mc chicken and jr chicken are 2 different burgers, ones biggers one is smaller
@@KendrurrruhI’m partially flattered
15:25 LOL
Do you guys do fast fridays
@@jonaschoate3065they do not even do 60 seconds drive thru’s anymore.
Hahahaha this got me all ‘oh nooooo’
Happens to the best of us. You’re a great worker bud 👍🏽
😂😂😂
This and electric scooter academy are like my go to videos. I worked at McDonald’s my sophomore year till junior year(2010-2011)I was the drive through cashier,never saw the action lol love these videos man!
I’ll be the fry chick
At McDonald’s love serving fries
As a sous chef who has been in the food service industry for around 25 years now, although the closest thing to fast food I've done was working at and eventually managing a Quiznos and later a Subway, I still find it extremely impressive to see how McDonalds is the fast food industry standard when it comes to speed and efficiency. It's truly a beautiful thing to see a particular franchise being run to perfection, as it is built for and intended to be run. Great pizza concepts do this extremely well too, and I'm fortunate to still be able to make some incredible brick oven pies at the restaurant I currently work for in Little Rock, AR. It seems like most in my profession wouldn't enjoy POV videos like this of others in this industry, as the mere sound of a ticket machine gives me anxiety, and tends to haunt my dreams.... LOL... but frankly I've always enjoyed watching videos of highly competent and capable employees doing their jobs effectively, and it should definitely give people some insight into what makes this business model work so well. It's also oddly relaxing, in an ASMR sorta way, to watch this content -- so well done all around!
Why is this so satisfying to watch
I love how polite he is to everyone.
I am in awe and amazed at how you work so quickly. I totally can respect McDonalds workers from here on! Truly amazing video.
When i was working fast food it was so nice having days like that, a nice good pace. Days like those where fun and very relaxed
Dont miss these days at all! Especially breakfast and lunch, on weekends
This was on my recommended and I'm not complaining about it. Just subscribed
You want THIS guy making your food. Well done sir. Very entertaining stuff. First time here and not the last!
Love your attitude
@@jordancamacho219who would rather eat panda express😂
Stephen, can you do a video someday where you go over what all the various sounds mean? Like the do-do-do-do-do sound and the cowbell sound, and the others?
omg u r so desperate.
Cowbell is for quarter pounders and double quarter, I recall that much.
@@coraline1503 Come off it.
Oh wow, I typed a comment out requesting the same thing! Let's hope he sees them!
Every beeping noise is a kind of timer. One for the frier, one for the grill for the meat, and other for the fries. The grill rings when the top part comes down or up so people don't burn themselves. The cowbell is for meat (most often quarter pounder) cause theyre supposed to be freshly cooked meat, so its there to notify it needs to be dropped.
Double quarter pounder with cheese is my all time fave..... yum!!!
Your the best McDonald’s cooker
This is oddly satisfying watching this! Please keep it up! My 10 month old loves it too! 🎉
15:26 "I'm gonna be down 1 McChicke... 2 McChickens."
I felt that. oof
The one I worked at was really fast and clean. The assistant managers actually their job. We have one of the best McDonalds in the state because we don’t put up with high school kids not being efficient. They work hard.
So satisfying to watch! Plus your so respectful to other employees, kudos to you my friend!
My fav is quarter pounder with dehydrated onions, extra ketchup and pickles. With BBQ sauce for the fries with the best Sprite ever.
I like taco bell and MCdonalds
love watching these!!!!!!!
Me too😍
You work so fast! ❤
Doing the “same” thing 8 or 12 hrs/day.. respect for you and for your patience man
Keep it up
lmao "im gonna be down one mcchicken" and then drops one
As soon as you filled that 20 piece order I wanted Nuggs so bad!
That twenty piece was more like 22 or 23 nuggets. 4:34
21 i think@@Triple-G-r8ness
Thanks for teaching me so much, i now know how to order what i love at McDonald's, have told many McDonald's staff about your channel.
from Toronto Canada.
I totally feel like I could work at McDonald’s, working the buger n Nugs line from watching your videos.
Right? 😂 I feel like I was in training
Oh you could until you get like 20 customers and get overwhelmed or you run out of whatever you need
I worked at Burger King (UK) during my time at university and this is absolutely the reality of working within fast food nowadays! Gone are the days where a kitchen had 5-6 folk to carry out the work. Watching this is bringing back the muscle memory of rapidly building burgers and sliding them down the chute haha!
For some reason this is my favorite channel now
lmaoooo so 00:57 is where that beeping meme audio comes from
Fr😂😂😂
Why do McDonald's fryers seem to constantly beep with different melodies and cadences? I know Henny Penny has the ability to propose filter cycles after so many cook cycles, but there seem to be many more alarms that constantly occur. @StephenPatula, can you do a video of where all the beeping comes from? Like, which pieces of equipment make specific sounds in your kitchen?
Most of the beeps are from the fryers, sounds like the ones used for fries in this vid. The one thats happening all the time is most likely it requesting the jib to checked, the moderate paced one is it requesting duty, which is when you shake the fries to make sure they don't clumbp, and the fast beeps are when the item is ready to be pulled from the fryer
@@HighLordComedian Also, one of the other fryer beeps is usually about auto filtering the vat to remove floating bits of breading. Could also be replacing the filter pad if it hasn't been done in a while (Changes store to store)
@@HighLordComedianyeah what does it mean when it says check jib because i never check anything and just dismiss the beep
@@zac9155check jib means the jug od oil below fryer vats is empty. And need a fresh 1.
What is the one that sounds like a cowbell at 1:38?
"Ima be down 1 mcchicken"
*accidentally drops another one*
"Ima be down 2 mcchickens"
💀💀💀💀
I remember I used to work at McDonald's back in my High School days. My friends/ classmates go to work after school. We would make our own style burgers. Good ole time.
Who’s rants for more ketchup😂
Mee
Lulu Lemon hoodie working food at McDonald’s? Brave man. (That is the most comfortable hoodie I’ve ever worn, though)
I'm thankful for these videos
Next time someone says "you probably work at McDonald's", I'll take it as a compliment.
When I was a swing manager at my McDs I would hate days like this because you knew you wouldn’t need a full staff so you had to decide who and where to cut and hope you still had enough people to cover.
As someone who worked full time at McDs back in the early 1990s, it got old real quick when a manager would send people home and an hour later 2 buses would pull into the lot at 10:30pm full of youth baseball kids. I worked at McDs for 3 years and found the core crew we had was worth working around.
What other jobs do you work at
I wish all the mcdonald's workers worked as hard as you. Very well done.
Man I don’t know why but it’s so fascinating seeing the similarities and differences from two McDonalds in two countries
I work at one in the UK and I see so much similar things, and I also see many differences lol
MESMERIZING. before you know it, you've watched the whole thing.
Mickey Ds is number 1 fast food restaurant by a long shot. The most consistent place in history, at least the ones around my area. There is no shame in doing a job no matter what it is, respect fast food workers!
I work at McDonald's in Taiwan, and I think it's a lot different
You make this look pretty easy. How do you cope during a rush? You’re doing great and thank you for all your hard work 😊 I think fast food workers like you don’t get enough credit for what you put up with from the public sometimes 😔
Those sounds are like the bridge of the Enterprise D. Soothing sounds of regular operations. Means action, not stress.Fries? Ready. Cookies? Ready. 🍔🍟🍪
I bet this is not easy at all to do, especially when it gets busy. I actually got dizzy during parts of this vid when you were moving faster. But you got orders out. You got the job done.
I admire that hard work.
Aloha 😊🤙🏼👏🏼
