It sucks but I save a little out of each paycheck anyway. It's not a permanent job or anything.

How many years did you work at said company before you got promoted if you started out as a non manager?

I started in 2012 as a part-time college job and I got moved up in 2016 when I graduated. It was/is a temporary thing until I move into the city. I was thinking about moving into HR for the company but they're pretty shit to work for so I'm not 100% committed to that plan.

Every night at closing everything is cleaned. Theres a list of certain items that need to be detail cleaned on certain days of the week. But the grill, fryers, coolers, and boards are all cleaned and sanitized daily.

60-80k is really good but without knowing where you live that could either be a lot of money or poverty level so it's kinda hard to judge

Yes I've turned in termination paperwork for employees for not showing up to work and then they try to show up a week later after no call-no showing and expect to still have a job.

This guy that said there wasn't cheese on his burger but there was literally melted cheese on his burger and was screaming that we forgot his cheese. We open the burger up and show him the cheese and he screams for us to remake it because we touched it. We remake it and show him the cheese with gloves and he still says he didn't have cheese on it. He was an idiot so we told him to leave.

I've never had to clean the bathrooms so I can't really weigh in on this.

There's not really a best item. Most of it's pretty good but the worst is some cheese shit in a bun with no meat except some hotdog chili an onions. It's pretty nasty.

Dude that shit is the worst. We like to "pre-close" the store and start cleaning half of the grill and drop down to 1 fryer around 1:30 or so in the morning. The drive-thrus are open longer than the actual lobby part and we close at 2am on weekdays, 3 on weekends. So if I already cleaned half of the grill and somone wants a burger and I'm out, I have to risk messing up what I just cleaned. We do have a policy where we don't cook any fresh burgers or anything that takes longer than 3 minutes to cook at 1:50/2:50. We sell as much already cooked stuff as we can but if we run out of burgers at 2:50 and you want one, you're out of luck. We serve all the way until 2:10/3:10 and after that we turn people away. But I've gotten several call-in complaints and corporate complaints about "closing too early". I get it though. You get off work at 1:30 or 2 and you want some food. There's a 24-hour mcdonalds and a taco bell right next to us so there's definitely food options available.

Pretty often actually a lot of broken promises and delayed bonus checks. They pretty much never care about how outdated a lot of our equipment is and refuse to replace it.

Sounds about right. I worked at a McDonalds during high school summers, our manager (and eventual regional manager) was on top of her shit but I always remember the people above her being fucking pricks and out of touch assholes

We're pretty chill so it's only the lazy ones that get mad at the managers.
