Nwt time you’re at the McDonald’s drive-through, you may want to think twice before starting your order. Don’t say “hello!!” Some McDonald’s workers are definitely not thrilled when customers yell “hello” as soon as they pull up to the intercom. Well, at least, according to a widely shared TikTok video. The TikTok video, tweeted by user @maccaworkaddict, shows what some employees view as a typical “rude” conduct, igniting discussion on social media. This video was originally shared by a McDonald’s worker.
The video shows the worker dancing with a text overlay that reads: “You can’t keep ignoring the car in the drive-thru because they shouted ‘hello’ as soon as they got there.” This message struck a chord with both staff and consumers, eliciting a barrage of comments.
Why ‘Hello’ Might Annoy a McDonald’s Worker?
What makes saying “hello” such a big deal? A buzzer informs the workers when a car approaches the intercom, according to the TikTok post. It might feel like more pressure to say “hi” right away before the staff has a chance to react. Not everyone is happy when customers take issues into their own hands rather than waiting for the customary welcome.
In the comments, a few workers expressed their own annoyance with this conduct. A drive-thru employee said, “I hated this when working at Burger King, too,” while another user said they “make them wait another 10 seconds” after hearing an early “hello.”
Naturally, some people disagree. As another commenter says, “I say hi since I’m not sure if they’re aware of my presence. What if I just said, “Give me a minute, and I’ll be right with you?” This generated a more extensive discussion on TikTok, where both customers and staff members contributed their opinions.
Are McDonald’s Workers Just Joking Around?
The original TikTok user later stated that her videos are “all a joke,” and that customers should not take her comments too seriously. However, the video reveals a common opinion among several McDonald’s employees. They are frustrated by more than simply the speed of the drive-thru. Small exchanges like these add to the stress.
Even though the film was intended as a joke, it sparks a larger discussion about the relationship between fast-food personnel and consumers. It’s a delicate balance between keeping things moving and offering a positive client experience.
Now FORGET THAT! And See How to Make Big Mac Sauce at Home!
As the TikTok controversy continues, another former McDonald’s worker has gone viral for something quite different: disclosing the secret formula for the iconic Big Mac sauce. Chef Mike Haracz, who previously worked for the fast-food behemoth, published the secret recipe on TikTok, allowing Big Mac fans to reproduce the signature sauce at home.
To whip up your own version, mix the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of sweet pickle relish
- 2 tablespoons of Dusseldorf mustard
- 1 teaspoon of white wine vinegar
- 1 and 1/4 teaspoons of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper
No ketchup required—the iconic color comes from paprika, not tomatoes! Let the sauce sit for about half an hour before serving for the best flavor.
ENJOY!
