I was a Crew Worker for the McDonalds in Marietta, GA…Because of the horrible job market as of late I had to settle for a job in the fast food industry(I’am 18). After meeting the Asst. Manager a couple of times I was hired, and the exposure to stupidity and laziness began. First, for some reason the management feels it is necessary to understaff on the busiest nights of the week, I believe this is for a bigger profit for the owner. I don’t mind being the long soldier on the GRILL..but doing 5 McChickens, Dropping meat and frying McNuggets at the same time is fatiguing and unecessary for the 6.25/hr I’am paid.
Secondly, The staff is made up of some of the most horny and lazy people I have ever met in my life. Whenever your Manager asks if you have “Big Meat” you know something is wrong. I have gotten used to seeing co-workers grope and coddle each other on a daily basis or go to the shed to retrieve “gloves”.
The rest of my co workers while good people are entirely lazy..This was made apparent by the constant walking off the job to talk, smoke or do anything else without telling the manager.
McDonald’s, I believe, is a good first job to those who want to exposed to the real world. It’s not all peaches and cream..It’ll definetely help motivate you to set high standards for yourself career wise. Currently, I’m doing something I love…Teaching computer courses at a local computer store and the pay is 9.25/hr!!!!
