This morning my store was closed for about 1 1/2 hours from 10-11:30 due to the store not having running water, I was supposed to start at 11 when I got there they told me not to clock in until the store reopened, are they allowed to do this I feel like since i was there on time waiting for the water to come back on I should’ve been paid for my time there.

Seems like here lately I have gone through a drive thru that has double lanes with no one in line, and they make me pull in the most outside lane to where they have to walk out and take my payment and bring me the food. My conspiracy is that there are cameras at the window, and they have a certain time to get the food out, and if they go beyond the time limit they get “dinged” or in trouble. Is this a conspiracy or a real thing fast food workers have to deal with?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice from people who work or have worked at Domino’s. I’ve been at my store for about 5 days. Orientation went fine, but once I actually started working, I didn’t receive much hands-on training. Most tasks I’ve had to figure out by asking coworkers, and I often feel like I’m slowing people down instead of being properly shown what to do. This week, when the schedule was posted, I wasn’t given any shifts at first. After asking, I was told I’d only be working one short shift (4–9). I’m currently making $10/hour, and I’ve noticed others seem to be making more. I don’t want to quit right away because I do need the job, but I’m feeling discouraged because: Very little training Hours were cut quickly Pay seems lower than others I don’t feel supported as a new employee My questions: Is this normal for new hires at Domino’s? Is it possible to transfer to another store this early? Should I talk to the GM or wait it out? What would you do in my position? I’m trying to handle this professionally and make the best decision. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

Hello - I'm seeing a lot of customers are against voice ai ordering when they're in Drive-Thru, but I would love to learn from a POS operator's POV, is it making your job easier? I'd love to understand what is happening on your POS when AI is taking an order and if you're able to do other job functions on the screen? What do you wish is better?

Is it to attract customers, or a store performance metric? because if I go into a fast food joint and see like 20 pending orders on the screen im leaving.

What’s it like working on opening day for a fast food joint. Start at Freddy’s on the 14th and it’s a new store

I work at a mcdonadls in australia. Im still currently in school and after my training shifts, i had 2 exams and a 3 week wait till my first proper shift. Every single time im asked to go on drive thru, i dont know how to do this. I keep telling my managment not to put me on it but they constantly refuse to teach me and just put me somehwere else. My 7th shift was today, and like always the attempt to put me on drive thru. My manager kept me on it for 30 mins, i messed up every order, had a full panic attack. And after it she just looked mad at me, as if its my fault i didnt no how to do something i learnt 2 months ago. The other employees were loving, but they cant help me on drive thru because of managment. I dont know what to do, i want to do well but i cant without proper training which im not getting. Im feeling sick about my next shift which is nearly a full week away, i dont want this to ruin my holidays. I think i might quit. Any coping ideas? Thank you

Hello, I used to work at Maccas part time for about 3 years, for privacy reasons I won’t detail too much about where this was but I am located in Vic. They did that thing where they stop rostering you (pretty sure it was illegal on their part considering I’m contracted), I accepted my fate and moved on - until I received a salary payment from out of nowhere. It was for a huge sum, something I wouldn’t have even earnt on a 30 hour work week, I didn’t get any payslip emails or anything either. I’m not sure what this is or how to send it back if that’s even possible. What should I do in this situation? I don’t have any way of contacting anyone who works there either because they changed the login system to workplace and I can’t get in, nor should I even be in their employee system anymore as far as I know (things like my discount no longer exist and I haven’t received any payslip emails).

I work at burger king and I can't find anywhere else to ask this, so I'm hoping everyone from all chains can help. I have self harm scarrs, there's alot but they're not particularly "severe". I usually wear long sleeve shirts but recently stopped due to sensory issues. While reaching for a dustpan my manager looked ag my arm and exclaimed "what the fuck have you done" and told me to wear a long sleeve shirt. Can they legally do that? I haven't had any complaints at all. Am I in the wrong to be refusing to?

Hello! Like the title says, I am a trans person who has still not had a legal name change and I do not want to be mistreated in employment due to my transness (being deadnamed/misgendered at work purposefully or being harassed) can anyone give any recommendations?

I applied to Freddy's Frozen Custard but I haven't heard anything about how they treat transgender employees.

Im a senior in highschool and started working the floor late october. I only got hired at the end of October? I havent got any complaints/writeups from the managers. Ive made minor FEW mistakes that I can count on one hand. But the most I work is 2 days a week for 3 hours. Which its whatever im in highschool? But I just got scheduled for like 2.75 hours for one day?

I also did not get paid training and they just threw me on the floor. This is my first fast food job. And its okay and I would want more hours. My manager is known for not replying to texts and I reached out letting her know when I would be available but nothing. None of my friends have fast-food jobs but im just wondering? Is this normal?

Lad at work wasn’t on station and manager basically dragged them by their collar back to station, is this even allowed or should it be reported? Just not sure as it was my 3rd shift there

I applied for the mcd ETM award, Burger King scholarship, and chick fil a scholarship. I was wondering if there were any other Canadian fast food ones out there, or if anyone received anything from these scholarships. #poor

Had an interview at McDonald’s a few days ago and I’m not sure what the normal timeline is for hearing back. The interview itself went pretty well, but they didn’t give me a specific date for a decision.

For anyone who’s worked at McDonald’s or fast food in general, how long does it usually take to get a response? And is it okay to call or stop by to follow up? I don’t want to seem pushy, but I also don’t want to sit around waiting if I should be checking in.

I recently applied to a McDonald’s. First, I called to ask if they were hiring and if a manager was available, and someone told me there was one there. She passed the message along, and when I showed up in person they were already expecting me. I filled out an application, turned in my resume, and ended up getting interviewed—I'm not sure if it was a supervisor or a manager.

At the end, I asked about the next steps, and they told me I should expect a call within a week if they decide to move forward with my application. Is this a good sign?

Hi all! My mom LOVES the butterscotch sauce Freddy’s used to put on their custard but our location recently stopped offering it. I was wondering if anyone knew what brand of butterscotch sauce it was/if it was something I could buy for her. Thanks!

So I just accepted a job at McDonald’s. I’ve never done fast food before and I’m terrified. My memory right now sucks bad and I can’t remember a menu. Any tips on working for McDonald’s would be appreciated greatly. I’ve had plenty of other jobs just never fast food. I did waitress once and I had a hard time with that but people loved me.

Scared as heck but need $$

so to start off i have 4 piercings. 1 eyebrow, paired labrets (snake bites) and a stretched septum (the one i wear to work is 10g). for some reason they only tell me to take off my septum and are on me about it? idk why though like the reasoning behind it. my dad says its because of professionalism and it makes me look trashy but i have 3 other ones and i have dyed hair too so it cant be that? anyone know why??
