Is it just my McDonald’s that have these timers that you have to take orders in a specific time limit (40 seconds) and take money in a specific time limit, order packing, greeting time etc? And then there is a screen where we compete with other McDonald’s in ranking on who’s the fastest? I find them just not useful. It creates unnecessary pressure and doesn’t give time to talk to customer. Not all customers know what they want already, there are more silent moments and umms than you know ofc.

Not only times but these old ass workers whose full time job is McDonald’s. All they care about is the damn timers like care about the customers! Give them time to order! Give me some time to take their order. The customers come, look at the menu and need time to order especially in the drive thru. Like no joke it’s just those (no offence) really old immigrant workers who care about the timers so much. I’m a person who loves talking to customers and it makes them happy too like oh someone acknowledges us. I was talking to a customer when he was at the second window waiting for his order and the customer wouldn’t stop talking. It was a fun convo and I didn’t have any customers in my lane at that time and they just got mad at me for talking to a customer. Like hello? I’m sorry? I am not the order packer just lane taker. You and I get payed the same why are you tryna boss me around?

lol I went a bit off point but I hope Ykwim. Stop caring about the damn timers and think about actual people. You are not achieving anything by doing that. We would be as fast as we are even without the timers trust me.
