welcome to McDonald's may I take your order hi can I get a from drive-throughs to the McRib here are
10 Shady Secrets McDonald's doesn't want you to know holiday overtime 10 a.m Santa's coming to
town for most people holidays are about spending time with loved ones and doing something special
most people don't think of going to McDonald's for a special holiday meal however while your
local mcds is likely open no matter the holiday McDonald's doesn't like to pay their employees for
overtime hours on these holidays you're cheap this shouldn't be a huge shock to most people
mcdee's has a reputation of not wanting to spend money on their employees despite the fact that
they make a lot of it McDonald's is known for being cheap and not paying their employees well
and while they used to be closed during major holidays they stopped doing that years ago and
started opening their restaurants during holidays as well forcing their employees to work while the
McDonald's franchise owners can choose to pay their employees for overtime during holidays
the corporate owned stores do not choose to do the same they say that employees that work those
days are volunteering and therefore they do not need to pay them more than their regular wages
to be there which sounds like a really bad bad excuse to simply not pay your employees extra
for taking time out of their lives to spend the holidays working though many people are
outraged by this fact it does not stop them from going to McDonald's on the holidays to get their
fix of fries this is not really something that the company makes public they tend to try and keep it
on the down low to keep people happy and the money flowing even on the holidays salads Ron would you
like some salad since I am not a rabbit no I do not one thing that McDonald's definitely does not
want people to know about is the fact that their salads are not actually healthy for you counter to
what they want you to think they try to keep this as secret as possible while also having to offer
the calorie and nutrient information publicly fingers crossed they hope that most people won't
actually look at the calorie count on their salads and rely on customers to just assume the salads
are as healthy as any regular salad while salads from a fast food restaurant may seem like a great
deal being able able to eat healthy and cheap it's simply not that straightforward in fact a lot of
McDonald's salads are higher in calories fat and sodium than a good number of their hamburgers most
people would expect that ordering a salad no matter where it's from would mean choosing the
healthier option since you would be consuming a lot of fresh vegetables even eating a plain dry
MCD salad with no dressing still has an extreme amount of calories compared to what a salad should
have so next time you go to McDonald's with the intent on eating a little healthier and want to
get yourself a salad you may as well just go for the hamburger and indulge a little you'll likely
be cutting a few calories self-serve kiosks order for yourself while McDonald's may claim that they
added self-serve kiosks as a convenience for their customers that's not the actual reason that they
were placed in restaurants in fact the real reason McDonald's has added self-serve kiosks is because
they do not want to pay their employees or rather they don't want to pay as many employees I see
what you did there good one you see it's cheaper and easier for them to install the self-serve
kiosks than it is to pay employees to be there taking orders during the day the kiosks can make
things quicker and make it so they do not need as many employees working the front counter as
customers can go in and choose their own order from the kiosk they encourage people to use the
kiosks as much as possible with advertising and special deals because it means that they can cut
ships from their employees as more and more people order using these kiosks while customers may not
think about the fact that these handy kiosks are taking hours away from an actual employee this is
the result of these self-serve kiosks so next time that you visit your local McDonald's you
should go up to the counter and make a point of ordering from the employee who's working rather
than using the kiosk even if it seems like it could be quicker sometimes ice machines small
Coke noise one of the things that McDonald's does not want you to know is that they do not have
their employees clean the ice machines often or in some cases they do not clean it at all
there's probably some deeply buried company policy that states that they have to be cleaned
more often but it's not often enforced those ice machines will often go months without being
clean believing who knows what in your drink along with your ice there may be one or two
McDonald's restaurants out there that clean their ice machines regularly but the large
majority of them just do not have time to do it during their busy days or their employees
are just too underpaid to care enough to do it when it should be done several employees have
posted online about this exact issue stating that they have found specks of dirt or dust and other
unknowns in their ice machines and that sort of thing ends up in your drink you may want to ask
for your drink with no ice the next time that you go to McDonald's unless you prefer to just pretend
that none of this is true so you can just enjoy your ice cold drink if you do really need the ice
and the drink to enjoy it hopefully your chosen McDonald's is one of the good ones that actually
pays attention and cleans out the ice machine often speakers I rulers and Makita cup the
speakers at the drive through catch everything you say clearly from the moment you drive up next to
it to the moment you pull away so whatever you're discussing in your car with your passengers can be
heard and if you're the type to be singing loudly and off-key they can hear that too that you didn't
know the speaker may not be the best quality when they speak to you but they can hear you more
clearly than you can hear them especially because they're used to having to listen closely to the
headset to catch everyone's orders correctly so there are no issues when it comes to giving people
their food also something to be noted employees have mentioned online that if they hear you being
rude at all on the speaker when you think that they can't hear you they will go out of their way
to inconvenience you a little bit with your food without you knowing the biggest and easiest thing
for them to do is if someone is rude and they hear it on the speaker and that person orders coffee
they'll serve them a decaf coffee instead of a regular so next time you pull up to the speaker
at McDonald's you may want to keep in mind that if your windows are down they will be able to
hear your conversation and may get slightly Petty revenge on you if you're talking trash about them
food timers best before this day after this date not the best but still pretty good McDonald's uses
food timers to keep track of when food should be either tossed or remade but oftentimes employees
including management will simply just reset the timers because they're either too busy or just
don't feel like dealing with it this means that food will often have the timers reset several
times before anyone actually gets rid of the food in question the result is food that continues to
be served to customers even after the timers have been reset several times reset that clock you may
be expecting something that's at least relatively fresh but instead you'll be getting stale food
that is well past its best Before Time which may have been sitting on under heat lights or
in heat trays for a good majority of the day some may question why they even have food timers if
they're just going to ignore them the food timers are used for a reason to make sure customers get
freshly made products as well as it being a food safety issue so employees that do this are doing
something that they are clearly not supposed to next time you go to McDonald's just keep in mind
that the food may have been sitting there longer than it should have been unless you go when the
restaurant is really busy at which point they're probably making more fresh food since it's selling
faster the McRib I'd like to go home and I'd like the McRib to be available year round the McRib is
a popular limited time item with a cult following that absolutely loves it when the sandwich comes
back to the menu no matter how limited its time is on the menu but what they don't tell you is that
the meat for the McRib is often left for hours and hours in buckets of sauce under heating lamps
this meaty and Saucy soup combination seems less than appetizing when you think of it that way two
thumbs down knowing that the McRib can be far less fresh than you expect it to be while most
people don't have super high expectations when it comes to getting food from McDonald's there is at
least a minimum expectation that you're getting something that was made within at least the last
two hours unfortunately with the McRib especially you're likely getting something that has been
sitting for much longer than that drive through priority that's it no ending McDonald's employees
are timed on how long it takes them to deal with a drive-through order from the moment the car pulls
up to when the order is handed out the window and management takes these times pretty seriously for
the most part what they do not tell you is that employees tend to focus on the drive-through and
leave customers at the counter waiting for much longer than they should what is taking so long
I've wasted all day there's no timer that counts how long they take to serve customers at the front
counter so they'll often leave them waiting for a lot longer than the people at the drive-through if
there is a bit of a line forming there while this may be something that can be extremely frustrating
for those customers who do not drive or choose to go inside the restaurant it's not actually
the employee's fault when things get busy they have a lot of pressure put upon them especially
with that timer ticking at the drive-through window so next time you're at the counter and
they're taking a bit of time make sure you have a little bit of patience with them as they're
not ignoring you because they choose to McD's onions mmm onion McDonald's serves chopped up
onions on some of their hamburgers and you would assume that these onions are simply chopped up and
stored in a fridge or something along those lines what a lot of customers do not know is the onions
are freeze-dried and they need to be soaked in water for a day before they can be added to any
hamburgers onions do not seem like something that would be hard to Simply chop up and ship out in
bags but apparently they prefer to freeze dry them this puts a whole new perspective on the
onions you find on your McD's hamburger knowing that they had to be rehydrated in store well you
can't really tell from the taste it does feel weird to think about this fact and it does make
people wonder why they could not simply just cut fresh onions either in a warehouse and
ship them out or have machines chop them up in the restaurants for use uh you tell me surely it would
not cost any more but it would provide fresher onions for their customers favorite Burgers McD's
food does not rot nothing beats two cheese burgers with Secret Sauce McDonald's food is not known for
being healthy in fact practically all of it is full of sodium sugar and a bunch of preservatives
there are a lot of people that have tested the theory that McDonald's food does not actually rot
while not every food item is impervious to rotting there are a lot of them that are people have left
certain McDonald's Foods out for extended periods of time to see if it would rot and while it does
Harden and kind of get discolored it does not actually go through the process of rotting this
is pretty disturbing to think about when you consider the fact that you're putting something
that does not really raw into your body the amount of chemicals and preservatives and the food cannot
possibly be good for your body obviously some people have explained this by saying it's because
the hamburgers contain very little water so they dry out before they can rot but other foods that
are dry will rot if left out for just as long so that can't be the sole reason behind the fact that
McDonald's food does not rot when left out for long periods of time the mystery lives on the
