My first day working at mcdonalds?
Just go up to the counter, say hi my name is blah blah blah, I start working here today. They will direct you to the manager. If you work at a corporate owned store...good luck my friend. If you work in a densely populated area, be prepared to work your *** off.
What was your first day working at McDonald's like?
The store I was hired for didn't have space or time to accommodate training new staff so, I was sent to a different location to train. So, excluding that.... My first day working at my store, which is in a very busy mall wasn't great. The mall had two McDonald's locations and both made good profit. I was hired at the food court location right when school was starting so a lot of their students were taking days off for school and the location was now short on staff, hence me getting hired.In the intermediate, they borrowed staff from other locations to work at store. So, when I started, they assumed I was from another store and basically "beat me up" for being slow and not knowing what to do.I cried. I explained I am new, right from the get go... But they didn't really understood it until I cried. I was ready to just take off and quit. A manager spoke to me and said, "Sorry you are treated this way. On behalf of the others, I apologize. Our store is really busy, so it can get really hectic and people forget you're new."I managed to keep up with coworkers eventually. But, this kind of work environment and the treatment I got from my coworkers weren't any good. I'm surprised myself that I stayed there for two years. And, through that two years, I've actually just left in the middle of my shift, at least twice, not telling anyone because I was very frustrated by how everyone was treating me and the workload they out on me. Of course, they had to give the talk everytime. But, I stayed until I found a better workplace.Over the course of my employment there, I learned which positions/stations I had to talk least with my coworkers or be able to work independently while still helping the team. That's how I became the Grill Master. I can cook all the meats, fry the fried stuff, and wash dishes nearly all at the same time. I liked that routine. They kept me on that routine for a good portion because nobody really liked the grill station, and nobody really had the time to wash dishes efficiently.
First day working at McDonald's?
So I already went to orientation and got my uniform except my name tag and my shoes(they give us free shoes). When I got my uniform the girl told me she would call me when my shoes got there. So like would I pick up my shoes and start working that same day or ? And when I do start my first day of training where do I go? This is my first job I'm 16 and no I'm not going to work her forever. I got this job so I won't have to ask my dad to buy me stuff and so I can save money for college. I'm a girl so how do I do my hair? It's not that long and I have outgrown bangs they are long but not as long as the rest of my hair . Should I wear makeup? I'm honestly just so nervous and scared of dealing with crazy customers.
First Day working at Mcdonalds?
I know how you feel. I have been working at McDonald's for only seven months. I only had training for three days, listen to your trainer well and ask questions if you are still curious. That McFlurry machine isn't friendly sometimes. Remember clean hands before every shift and after cleaning. I remember my first day on my own, because my trainer didn't teach me and another girl so well on counter we both had trouble. You simply learn as you work there, you get faster. On your first day you will be put on counter (unless you were trained in kitchen that i don't know.) And you will be put into dinning room a lot cleaning tables, changing bins. Maybe even Be the main person making up the fries and filling up FRANKIE. (The fries machine is Frankie fyi.) You might look up and depend on others at times, people shouldn't mind too much. Just think, in a couple of months some new crew will look up too you :) Just have fun, smile a lot even if the times get tough, trust me. i dread fund raisers because you get a HEAP of families coming in for an hour - 2 hours wanting food. But anyways good luck and have fun.
First day of work at McDonald's?
Nothing to be nervous about! I started at McD's at 16. On my first day, I watched a few how to videos, and they put me on fries, and had me stock certain items. Of course they don't automatically bombard you with order-taking, especially if there is a crowd, and if so you will have plenty of help. They usually let you leave early. The next couple of days after, you will get trained on the register. I messed up all the time, and I still do 3 years later. It takes time to familiarize yourself with the screen, and my customers understood that whenever I would apologize. "sorry sir/mam this is my first day/week of work" usually eases the situation. I went from nervous wreck mixing up orders to becoming a crew trainer mixing up a few every now and then. :) It happens to the best of us! I'm sure you'll do fine! Hope all goes well!
First Day At McDonalds?
The first day you should be watching the training videos on the computers. This will help you to familiarize yourself with the computers up front and learn the menu. If you know the menu learning the computer/register is not that hard. Don't worry about how busy it will be. Sat. and Sun aren't necessarily the busiest days. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Your managers and other crew will be there to help you. Good Luck and I hope everything goes well for you.
What to expect on first day working as the McDonalds?
Today I got a call from my local McDonalds about going in for an interview. I went in and right after the interview was told to come by on Wednesday at 12pm she said nothing else. I know I should've asked but I was so nervous I completely forgot. I was told nothing about my uniform or hours so I'm completely lost. What do I wear? Am I going to start training right away? Or am I just going in to fill paper work get a uniform and go home? This will be my second job ever. First fast food job.
What should I expect for the first day of working at McDonald's? Should I walk in and find the manager?
You're in luck cause you'll be introduced to the manager(s) right away. Assuming everything goes as it should, they will be expecting you. If you don't already have your uniform they'll give it you to put on. You'll need black pants and slip-resistant black shoes. A pair of black slacks is a safe bet cause it looks professional and some McDs don't allow jeans.After that you'll be introduced to your trainer and they will get you started working on whatever position you've been placed. Try to put a smile on and just do your best with it. And don't get discouraged if the position they put you in first doesn't seem a good fit. People are often shuffled around after learning their first ‘station' to see how they are in other areas or times of day. I've seen people start in service taking orders and then find they are better in the kitchen. They're all valued as important roles.Ask questions and it's best to have the 'love to learn' attitude in this environment. You'll shadow you're trainer usually and they'll really just show you stuff in as the day goes on.
First day working at mcdonalds please help me?
I worked at mcdonalds when i was 15-16 and a half and boy, did it start out good then get soo bad. The pants didn't work for me at all, I was wearing them wrong, you have to wear them like up to your waist, its gross. I would NOT wear jeggings- their too tight, however you can buy your own " dress " pants from place like AE or H&M that would be more flattering . I wore yoga pants my whole year and a half and nobody even noticed except for the manager that hated my guts. Overall i'm sure you'll have a lot of fun, and try your best to learn, it's not hard, and the time goes by fast because you're always doing something.
First day working cash register at McDonald's :(?
In the morning I was put on cash register it went really well I was kind of slow and I had to ask for help several times(I feel really bad interrupting other workers when they are busy getting orders) but I did ok everyone understood that I was knew and the customers were really nice. Then I got moved to fries I did really well on that also. After fries I went onto drinks it was really busy and I wasn't quite catching on I mean I kind of got it but I wasn't confident and the only drinks I can make by myself are the blended ones like strawberry lemonade, mocha frape, and smoothies...all the ones with "shots" and milk and stuff I was totally lost on and I had to ask for help several times...The other girl that I am training with caught on to drinks right away and our manager even said that she was really good at them. I feel so stupid.. towards the end of my shift they put me back on cash register and this mean looking lady came in with about 6 kids and went through all the extremely pick orders for each person. I guess I missed a few and she got mad and started yelling at me. I don't know If I had missed any or if the order trays weren't full yet. But I felt horrible and someone more experienced took over..I still feel really bad I know it was my first day but I feel really stupid. And I really want to get the drinks down. Do you have any tips on what i can do to get better quicker they don't have anything you can take home and study and there are charts on how to do stuff but by the time you get done making 1 drink looking at the chart you are 3 drinks behind.
