Currently, I am working in on of the branch of McD in USA. In a town called Falmouth. McD is quite common in US people's life. Remember, there was one day, my friends and I saw an old granny hand shaking, putting a burger into her mouth, drinking soft drinks. I believe you don't see this often as old people are rather scare of diabetes.
Different from Malaysia, there exist a drink fountain in the store. Means that you can get a cup and unlimitedly refill soft drinks that you like. There are more variety of soft drinks than in Malaysia. Besides, there are more variety of burgers in US. But remember, McD in USA is non-halal. Hope that explain why there are more variety of burgers.
The manager is a nice guy. He is kind of funny and friendly. So far, I will say. Other workers complained about him behind him, but I believe he treated us better as we are just student. Most of my colleagues are Brazilian and they always speak Portugese. Perhaps, they speak something ill behind us, which we dun understand. Never mind, we do speak Malay. But anyway, most of them are pretty nice. Sometimes, there is communication breakdown, as they are not fluence in speaking English.
Working in McD, so far I tried making sandwiches and frying french fries. Making burger is stressful as they have a lot of requirement. Some customer dun want pickle, some want extra; some dun want ketchap, some want only ketchap. Quite picky compare to Malaysian. Of course, there are some cleaning job which included dish washing, sweeping, mopping and washing. Besides, working as cashier is a challeging as their coins and money are not easy to deal with. Firstly, all paper notes have the same color and size. Unlike Malaysia, red is RM10, green is RM5, and blue is RM1. Sometimes, will carelessly mistaken as another bill. So need be be more careful when handling the money. For coins, they have coins called quarter dollar, which is 25 sen. It is rather hard to count with this number. Worstly, this coin has almost the same size as nickel, which is 5sen.
And my uniform, different from Malaysia which is orange color with a weird hat, mine is a blue shirt and a black trousers with a cap. Simple. Below is a picture of my friend and I in uniform.
Save more money, to travel around.
