FOOD & DRINK
A quick bite to eat at McDonald’s is usually because you want a fuss-free feed that will keep everyone happy.
But according to some employees at the popular fast-food eatery, our quirks when ordering, making our way through the drive-thru, or cleaning up after ourselves can sometimes kill their McVibe. Here are 6 things to avoid doing at the golden arches.
One worker, who spent two years serving at a NSW McDonald’s, said the pickle hate was hands down the worst thing about working at the fast food joint.

If you’re one of those who tidy up the table by putting all of the garbage in the tray to “help” the employees, you need to stop doing that.

For the workers calling out your order number, this is a very irritating habit from customers because more often than not, they don’t actually hear the number called the first time, leaving the food to sit on the bench taking up space for future orders and confusing staff.
“I’ll get a Big Mac with some McFries and some McNuggets with sweet and sour McSauce and a large McCoke thanks… “I would always be like, yes, yes, I’ve heard it before. So what do you actually want? It was never funny,” Emily, who worked at McDonald’s for a year in her late teens, said.
The workers get it when kids are indecisive, but what they can’t stand is when the adult in the car asks a million questions about what burger to have, or if a meal can come with other items, or why that discontinued burger is no longer available, or best of all why the soft serve machine is broken AGAIN?!
Emily says another sneaky thing people would do is take advantage of McDonald’s policy of preparing a brand new order if something is wrong with the one they received.
