So I've been working at McDonald's for close to 2 months now. Yesterday, I worked 11am to 6pm. I took my break at 4pm. So anyways, I wanted something to eat, so I go to the customer side of the counter(which is a rule, plus you're not allowed to assemble your own food, not that I'm complaining though). I ordered a medium fry and medium drink. So 10 minutes into the break:
Shift manager: Terry, what are doing eating out in the dining room? You have to eat in the break room.
Me: How come?
SM: It's a rule.
Me: Well I've only been doing it for the past 2 months.
SM: Well, you haven't had a break while I was here(which isn't true) and I follow the rules.
So anyways, I went ahead and took my food to the break room and ate back there. She lied when she said I've never taken a break while she was there. Not only that, out of the entire time I've been working there, nobody has told me I can't eat in the dining room. Not only that, managers ARE allowed to eat in the dining(I've seen them do it), which I think is completely stupid. Something as small as this, in yet managers are allowed to do it but crew members can't. Looks like I'll be contacting corporate to have a policy change.
