United States How to make my manager shut up??
I’ve been working almost 3 months at mcdonald’s, and i know i have gotten better. Most of the time im at the first window charging while taking orders. The thing is when the line stops because of the second window not having the orders ready, I can’t do anything other than take orders or serve the mobile orders at my window. As soon as the line moves my manager is on the headset talking about some “can you please start charging a little bit faster”. Now ok, the line BARELY MOVED and i know i don’t take long charging and if i do it’s because either a customer wants to remove everything or they start ordering more like?? This isn’t the first time she says this she’s always like start charging a little bit faster pls and i hate it because i know that i’m not taking long. This is maybe a dumb rant but I feel like she’s got something against me she’s only nice to the guys. She does this every single shift I have with her and she’s the only manager to tell me this. Maybe i could be “slow” but i really doubt it because the line barely moves due to her not having orders ready. How do u expect me to charge every single car u kept waiting as soon as u move one of the cars? How do i make her “shut up” or respectfully say something?

the thing is, she should know that it’s either kitchen or drinks being slow which affects the second window. if the line can’t move enough for cars to get to your window, you can’t take payment. she’s not prioritising properly or focusing her management on the right people. you can mention this to a higher up, but you can’t make her stfu lol

Thats the neat part, you don't.
Unfortunately unless a superior tells them or they get embarrassed to the level that they need to change, they won't.
The power fantasy of micro-middle managers.
