If you're heading for a McDonald's, you'll probably have a go-to order. Whether Big Macs are your thing, nugs can do no wrong in your eyes, or you fancy trying the new McCrispy, there's so much to choose from. Many people will just order things as they come, but others are fussier and like their order in a really specific way.
One Maccies worker, Sinead Poyser - who goes by the username @sineadpoyser on TikTok - posted a video detailing the most annoying thing that customers do, which massively inconveniences staff members. She captioned the video: "Lol if you’ve worked in Maccies you know the frustration".
During the video, she role-played a Maccies customer and two restaurant workers. The video starts with the 'customer' asking for a Chicken Mayo and a portion of medium fries 'with no salt, no salt whatsoever please, when I say no salt, I do not want any salt on my chips at all please'.
Sinead then replied that that was fine, whilst shouting to her 'colleague' that she wanted a portion of medium fries with no salt.
The 'colleague' then proceeds to rant, asking Sinead whether she's joking because they have to scrub the whole compartment out just for one order. Then they say they're 'done' thanks to the customers' fussy order.
The nail in the coffin though was when the 'customer' asked for sachets of salt and pepper.
The McDonald’s worker that has just scrubbed the compartment out to make fries with no salt shouts: "Hold up, did I just hear that right? You want salt?"
Other Maccies workers related, heading to the comments section on the playful video.
One wrote: "And this is why I quit after four months! Some of the most annoying customers I’ve ever encountered! I did love the headset though haha."
Another shared their branches hack for the unusual request, commenting: "My managers hated wasting time so we’d put a tray in the fry station for the no salt and used the spare scoop", followed by a crying with laughter face.
"Hated when customers did this", another quipped.
"They just want fresh fries", someone defended.
"As soon as you said no salt I rolled my eyes at the memory", another joked.
