Not even McDonalds wants me! :)

[Let Me Be a Pony]

Went to a job interview to McdDonalds. Was early with 5 minutes exactly. Had to wait 1 hour for the interviewer to join in.
I was feasting my eyes on the other employees. One was cleaning the tables with his sleeves. Nice one, bro! Makes me want to sit down on that table and just act like a stupid customer.

I smoked about 10 fags while waiting.
When she came, she was like "Why aren't you smiling?"
Because you're late with 60 minutes, bra! But I didn't say that.

So, the interview began. Guess where? On a table, in front of everyone.
Aren't job interviews suppose to be confident or something? Why do it in front of 20+ people? Are you aware of what you're doing, bra?

Well, she gave me a paper with some pretty dumb quiz questions.
"If a kid drops his ice cream, would you offer him/her a free one or would you clean the floor." You got to tick "clean the floor" or "offer him/her a free ice-cream".
Would offer the kid another ice-cream, fuck the floor, go get your janitors, McDonalds.

Okay, so far so good.
Then the interviewer told me that the salary is 150 british pounds, that's the minimal wage from where I'm at. That's incredibly low. She told me I got to start with the toilets. I laughed. I wouldn't clean a McDonalds toilet for that much money, no. Make it 300 pounds and we got a deal. You know why? Because the McDonalds website said that they'll pay 300 pounds at minimum.
Asked her "Why? Why so low? Your website said differently"
Was told "Well, that's old."

Okay, good. Was called in for a second interview.
Talked with the head manager now.
Told me he'll make me shave my hair, that he'll wreck me up, that the wage is pretty standard.
"Bro, are you kidding me? This salary is below the standards of Europe, and we DO live in Europe! I know this is Mcdonald's, but this is a joke. If I'm homeless i'll work here. I only came here because of your misleading info you've put on your website."
Then we had some other arguments and we parted ways. We rambled about dinosaurs and chickens for 30 minutes. Had a freakin' debate in front of their whole customers about dinosaurs and chickens.


Good interview, good experience, much skill I learned. Was really bothered that I was interviewed in front of 20+ people.
Pretty professional, mind you.

Dude, it's McDonald's. MCDONALD'S. What did you expect?

[Alien djinn]

Did you seriously talked about chiken and dinosaurs for 30 minutes on a job interview?!how come?

[ImCoolBeans]

That doesn't really shock me too much considering that it is McDonald's. But that is extremely unprofessional to do an interview like that in front of all of the other employees and even customers -- also pretty messed up that they claim to pay one minimum on their site but then offered you something lower. Goes to show what a great establishment McDonald's is.

Bra, I expected an all luxurious interview in the bathroom. They wanted to show me how bathrooms are cleaned - to show me how I'll start, but I said "nay" to that. Being serious, they offer you to stare at a toilet while they're talking.
From where I'm at, you got to buy food to use the bathroom at that. I'll be sure to get some French fries before doing that.

We had a debate on this - "Did the chicken or the egg come first".
Guess what? I pissed them off, because I added dinosaurs in the conversation.
NO, chickens did not come first, eggs came, because dinosaur eggs are older than chickens. I won. They did not specify what kind of egg it was.
Added dinosaurs and reptiles to the chat, then it all went to hell.
Everyone looked at us. Was amusing and scary.

That's what shocked me the most. I don't want others knowing my personal info. They asked a lot of personal questions, some that had nothing to do with the job, like "What does your mother work?"
Wanted to ask him what his mother worked also, but I kept it calm.

And yes, they post false information. Wasn't surprised.
Did not expect much from them, just went there to see how I'd act when I'm being interviewed. Was really stressful for me.

McDonalds is a disgusting place anyway, and they spend a lot of their funds to the torturing and killings of innocent people.
I personally think you should get a job within the creativity sector, especially stories.

[phuckphace]

bra, you want McDonalds even less than they want you, even if you don't realize it. bra.

You're right, broski.

Sums up all my feels when I was there.

Started trolling them midway the interview, I just did not take anything seriously. Felt like I was talking to some stoners in a bar, only I was sad because these people were serious, unlike the junkies I usually see in bars.
Really felt like a parody.

Their food is expensive, unhealthily satanic and they don't deny it, because people still have to go there, because its a part of the trend. And no, I ain't hating because of this interview. I didn't even pick up my phone when they called me to tell me the results. Not worth the trouble.

Thanks. :) DATS SWEAT.
But I can't write anything solid unfortunately. I write a lot during my free time, but I do it as a hobby. I'm just stuck with my thoughts for now.

I would've said "the corner...oh wait no that's your mother"

10/10 would hire

[Alien djinn]

XDD dude you have balls! I would never troll an employer on a job interview. Personnally i would have taken the opportunity to work there and i would be as disciplined as a soldier. You seem like you know exactly what you want in life.

[BlackParadePixie]

Based on your story and if that really is the way you acted, I wouldn't have hired you either.

true, even if McDonalds were being jerks

Note that I started acting like this when they broke the rules.

OHHHHHHHHHH! Feels would've melted on them.

I'd hire myself just to cleanse the inner toilets of their abode.

[Microcosm]

McDonald's is not where I'd want to work. You could work at like... A movie theater or something.

[Human]

It's very common now to have group interviews. It saves time and money, especially when the jobs involved are more temporary than others. I know people who have gone to group interviews.

[Left Now]

Seriously,I am more than pleased that McDonald doesn't have any branches here.It could easily destroy the already messed up Food Regime of Iranians with its calorieful foods.Also,it was a great disappointment for local Chain Restaurants.

[Ridonks_CB]

I'm so glad they've already closed hundreds of their stores so far :D

[sweettayla]

Same here. Sounds like you didn't really want the job in the first place.

Is that 150 Pounds per hour, cause HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY crap thats almost 300* CAD, and we are lucky to get paid 10$ CAD at McDonalds, I get paid 10.50$ and hour and thats when I work my F***ing ass off. If your positive you will most likely get a job, if your bitchy and say that you won't clean stuff when you have to, then tough luck. Don't think of the pay, think of it as getting your resume bigger and actually gaining life experiance.

No way that's per hour. $300 Canadian is about $243 USD which is a TON of money. Minimum wage in my area is about $8 USD per hour which is about 9.85 Canadian Dollars per hour or about 5.17 GBP.

3 British Pound per hour equals 4.64 US Dollar per hour.

Information per Google.

If it's $243 USD per hour, that's about $9720 per week or $505 thousand per year. Someone could live rather decently off that money.

Assuming the OP isn't lying, you NEVER smoke right before an interview...if someone does smell like smoke, it's a pretty good chance they won't be hired. Then there's the whole backtalking to the interviewer, etc.

At the end of the day a jobs a job, not the most glamorous of jobs might I add but it's always going to be better to be earning money than wasting an interview by 'trolling them'.

I think we all know that McDonald's aren't a particularly professional company and it's what I would expect from them. I haven't ever personally applied for them but with regards to applying for jobs just keep going. I applied for 10 without reply last summer and then got two jobs within a week.
