I used to work at one of these places in the 90s on the grill side. During lunch rush hour it was insane keeping up. Sometimes I was only one on grill too.
My anxiety went through the roof just watching this. Couldn’t handle the work myself, and always respected fast food workers for their hard work. For reference I do IT work.
Wendys is way worse. No fancy holders for anything just a million ingrediants in front of you, and chicken at eye level. No extra team members to just hand stuff to in order to restock, you have to go get it yourself, unless someone is fortunately free, which doesnt usually happen. Cant just make stuff and throw it wherever you want, because the idiots bagging everything need to be babby sitted because everything confuses them and they wont know what is what, even if its labeled, they wont know where it goes without spending a minute trying to figure it out
Oh man, that background “doot DOOT”… “doot DOOT” beeping, triggering some repressed PTSD lol. God I remember all this. Nice to know nothing has changed in like 15 years lol
And that’s not even the part where you’re getting yelled at by customers and getting cold treatment from every manager who’s burned out from working there. The worst part is probably the scheduling. If they know you have no kids/wife/main job, they do funky stuff with your schedule. You definitely are NOT working 40 hours, but it will feel like it.
I got paid 7.20ish per hour. I got a raise for like 5 cents.
I don’t know why I did it, there were hundreds of job in that city and I had a car.
The dedication of this man to get you your burgers. This man needs an award! Saves me from all the days I was too tired to cook. I was always looking for something quick and this fits the bill. Glad to see there was some skill involved and there are still some people perfecting their trade
Wow. This McDonald’s kitchen looks nothing like the one I used to work at. I did 5 year in the 90s. Great times.
Was that second steak egg and cheese not supposed to get any egg?
Can’t believe I watched that whole thing. It was strangely fascinating. I’ve never worked in fast food so I’ve never seen what goes on in the back.
Damn they got gravy biscuits at this McDonald’s?! Legendary
It’s like a VR version of Overcooked
Thank you for your service.
Please come work at a McDonalds near me. I thought the video was sped up based off my experiences.
there’s absolutely no reason the cooking part of McDonald’s can’t be 100% robotic.
The cheese seems to take the longer than anything else. Surprised the don’t have a sliced cheese dispenser.
wait are you fuckin shitting me is the steak egg and cheese bagel really back
This dude works so much harder than me
Next gig, card dealer in Vegas.
This video brings back bad memories.

Restaurant employees be like oh is that all? This look like downtime instead of breakfast rush.
That is not a minimum wage job.

They are so polite to eachother.. please and ty.
Put in 3ish years in the back at McDonalds. Hated working breakfast compared to lunch/dinner.
Maybe it was because i was usually hungover , but still.

This guy and his team work harder and communicate better then 90 percent of the “professionals” I work with.
RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE NOW
Side note: Thank you so much for posting these videos to give us an idea of what these people go through
I’m so grateful I don’t have to work fast food anymore. This looks like the kind of thing that would have me stressin.
Not paid enough for that level of badassery IMO
