'I work at McDonald's drive-thru - I still hear your gossip after taking your order'

A McDonald's worker has warned customers to think twice next time they head to the drive-thru, revealing that she hears things she absolutely shouldn't.

No doubt instilling panic in many burger lovers, she's warned that she can still hear conversations going on until customers drive away, urging them to 'keep your music and s*** talking lower'.

Explaining that she can still hear people chatting away even after taking their orders, TikTok user Deja Zimm claims to 'have heard a lot of stuff I don’t think I should have'.

She went on to clarify that this isn't just the case with McDonald's, with customers urged to watch their tongue at 'any place with a drive-thru'.

Deja, who goes by the TikTok username @get0utm3swamp, recalled: "Sometimes it’s funny. I’ve heard mums and dads be like 'if you don’t tell me what you want right now I swear to god, we are making this lady wait for your dumb*****”.

However, on other occasions, she's caught customers 'getting attitude' and 'whispering' about her after she's had to ask them to repeat their order.

Deja added: "I listen because I’m nosey. I just get my feelings hurt when they talk ab me even though I was just doing my job".

She also said that she can hear customers speaking before even taking their order, adding that it's 'extremely annoying when they pull up and one second later they say 'helloooo?' Like I was getting there'.

A number of Maccies fans have been left a little startled by this admission, twigging that their own private conversations while waiting for fries may not have been so private after all.

One alarmed person gasped: "Wait, can you hear before because I’d cry if you heard the things that went on in my family’s car- especially the singing".

Another said: "I learned this the hard way. Once me and some friends were waiting in the line by the speaker and my friend called the rest of us (all girls) 'the boys'.

"And we were like 'lol what' and he went 'but it’s spelt boiz' so it’s different then the guy on the speaker went 'yo can I be one of the boys?'"

Fellow drive-thru workers also came forward with their own stories of eavesdropping, with one former employee recalling hearing customers 'burp and fart'.

Another remembered: "I told two lads that I was just taking a payment and I'd be with them in a second, and I heard one of them say 'ooo she sounds fit'".
