Ever wondered what really goes on behind-the-scenes at one of the UK's biggest fast-food restaurants? From why the milkshake machine is never on to the secret ingredients that are added to the burgers, one ex-employee has spilled the beans on what really goes on.
Hull Live reporter Emily Johnson worked at two different McDonald's branches in Salford and Grimsby over two years while studying at university, and now she has gone public to clear up some of the most common misconceptions about what takes place behind the drive-thru window.
Although McDonald's eateries in the UK are normally divided into franchises, with their own set of rules and goals, Emily's inside knowledge is likely common to most - having worked at two different ones - but she says may not apply to all.
