Top 22 Secrets McDonald's Employees Will Never Tell You

Would you like fries with that?




1. Big Mac sauce is said to contain all the flavour in a Big Mac, except the beef.

And there’s supposed to be a slice of pickle in every bite. Soz, gherkin haters.




2. It’s really hard to feel good about yourself in a hairnet.






3. The rest of the uniform’s not much of a confidence booster either.

Those high-waisted trousers .




4. People seem to get off on asking you how many stars you have.



Modip / Via modip.ac.uk

You’d have 25 stars for not punching people who ask you stupid questions if badge stars were even still a thing.




5. But not as much as they’ll enjoy telling you how chicken nuggets are really made.

Seriously…

6. You look forward to being put on the dining area shift because it allows ample opportunity for hiding in the toilets.



Giphy / Via giphy.com

“I’m just checking them”.




7. It takes less than 30 seconds to cook a McDonald’s burger patty from frozen.



Giphy / Via giphy.com

Yep.




8. And there’s no such thing as “flipping” burgers, because they’re cooked from both sides at once.

They go in a grill like a giant George Foreman.




9. There’s nothing like the pain of burning your fingers every time you try to fish out a bun that’s stuck to the toaster.

10. Except for the agony of catching your elbow on the corner of a chip pan when you tip out a fresh batch of fries.

11. You’ll spend your entire shift snaffling fries on the sly when you think nobody’s looking.



Giphy / Via giphy.com



12. Or sometimes the odd chicken nugget if you’re lucky.



Giphy / Via giphy.com



13. But then still eat the entire food allowance for your shift when your break comes around.



Giphy / Via giphy.com



14. You dread your shift coinciding with pub closing time because that’s when you get the worst weirdos.



Giphy / Via giphy.com



15. You’ll always get some chump ordering “a Big Mac, plain, but with ketchup”.



Giphy / Via giphy.com

So, not a Big Mac, then. A Big Mac doesn’t even have ketchup!




16. This:



“@iserveMcdonalds: can I get a #1 meal? Me: okay, what kind of drink?Customer: no drinkMe: okay so you don’t want the meal”#mylife


— mcdemployees (@McDonald’s Employee)






17. You find yourself deliberately ignoring customers who shout, “Helloooooo” into the drive-thru speaker if you don’t take their order within half a second.



Giphy / Via giphy.com



18. You dread anyone ordering a Filet-O-Fish because you’ll have to cook it to order every time.



Serious Eats / Via seriouseats.com

Because who the eff ever orders a Filet-O-Fish?




19. Especially if you wear glasses, because steaming the bun will cloud them right up.






20. Trying not to lose patience with people who wait until they’re at the front of a long queue to decide what they want is a serious test.



Giphy / Via giphy.com



21. Not quite as much as being polite to customers who complain about not having fresh fries, and then complain about waiting for fresh fries to cook, though.



Giphy / Via giphy.com



22. But it’s mostly worth putting up with, because free burgers!



Giphy / Via giphy.com

And of course, money and a job.




correction



The Big Mac sauce reputedly contains all the flavours of a Big Mac except for beef. A previous version of this post stated that it the sauce contains the same ingredients as a Big Mac.

50 Cent Is King Of The Shameless Fame-Whore Selfie

Tom Brokaw, Donald Trump, Turtle from Entourage: if you’re even remotely famous, he’ll stick a camera in your face.




1. Like most celebrities on Instagram, 50 Cent uses the photo-based social platform in mostly a promotional nature and to fill his followers with pure, uncut FOMO. Whether he’s posing for magazine articles…






2. Or taking photos of his (not so) many interests…






3. you can count on 50’s Gram for a sneak peek into “The Good Life.”






4. But more and more often lately that Good Life seems comprised solely of shameless, fame-whoring selfies. He takes a ton of them. It’s gotten bad. He’ll take a selfie with anyone who is remotely famous.




Here he is with Turtle from Entourage, for instance. Turtle. From Entourage.




5. Just look at all the selfies with celebs 50 took at last weekend’s SNL 40 celebration.











11. Seriously, so many celeb selfies.










16. So, so many.




(That’s shrimp-loving director Brett Ratner.)






19. They don’t stop.






20. If you’re famous, you don’t really even need to pose with him. He’ll snap the pic anyway.








23. They just keep going.






24. Doesn’t matter if the picture is too blurry…






25. Or too dark…
