The fact that your employees felt comfortable enough to prank you like that shows two things…1) you have good employees and 2) you are a good boss. Makes for a fun work environment.
I've always had massive respect for anyone that works in the food service industry especially fast food. Just want to say thank you for the work you guys do. Doesn't get said nearly enough.
@@Moist-Gamba homie, these workers are responsible for feeding anyone in our society that needs a quick bite. Our servicemen, our fire fighters, nurses, construction workers, you and me. Your sheltered, childish response shows that you have no idea what it's like to not have access to food when you need it.
I used to work in a hospital kitchen. We could have to fill 300+ orders in 1½ hours. I had to run half the tray line and the dishroom as well. The trayline was like doing 1 new order every 5 seconds. I had to assemble the diet packs, build the sandwiches, run salad station all at once. Then I had to find free time to process every dirty dish entering my dishroom. This included every tray from our public cafeteria. This brings back so many good memories and is very relaxing. Thank you. ❤️
I’ve been there too. I worked my way through undergrad up to Medical School before I was able to quit working in the kitchen. At my place, some times the entire night shift left dishes for me to handle in the mornings and man it was rough sometimes. Had to take the trash out, run the massive dishwasher for trays and silverware, had to hand wash giant pots and pans as well as cooking utensils. I remember having to bounce back and forth between dishes and the tray lines. Side room for the cafeteria itself, repeat the process in there and bounce between three places. Cafeteria workers all over the world are definitely unsung heroes and most are definitely understaffed. That job taught me humility and respect for all levels of hospital work. I always try to be kind and supportive to the staff now that I’m the one eating in the cafeteria instead of cleaning in it.
@@SilasGrieves You accurately described my time working the morning shift! 😁 Even worse is when they forgot to stock the refrigerators. Easily another 10 minutes added to my daily tasks. I remember arriving to 3 large bins of unwashed dishes from night crew. A mere 20 minutes before we had to start the breakfast rush.
@ernkusa Not all managers or leaders want to do this. I barely get help when I'm being a cashier especially when the only people I have for backup is one other associate. When the line gets longer and we need more, they don't want to be bothered or say they're busy. They don't even let the stockers come to ring when they've been trained to as well.
I worked 8 years at McDonald's. From 15-23. Went to hamburger U. Worked way up from crew member to GM of $2M store back then. I learned more from that job than I did in business school. I still have ketchup in my blood.
I just wanna say thank you for posting these videos. I recently became a shift lead at chipotle & these videos have helped me so much. They really give a first person view on how to lead by example. Your store has a great vibe to it, everyone seems comfortable around each other, and even when getting slammed on the line, everyone is there working together. It’s clear there’s a mutual respect between managers & crew members at your store. That’s the type of environment I want to help create at work. These videos are amazing, thank you!
I agree I was just about to put the same request in writing here. I like the longer videos. I'm convalescing at home after being sick this past year and Live on videos to pass the time. Come on Stephen do more videos I've run through your entire list and a few things. Love your speed, your organizational skills, and the way you interact with your employees. You're awesome.
We needed to see a reaction, maybe his face...or a relieved sigh or chuckle (or a certain finger but that's not his style... something!) just seemed was slightly tense. Well at least the joke ended quickly and the pranksters got a giggle.
Things have changed significantly since I was employed by McDonalds from the mid 1980’s to early 90’s. Fun to watch how different. The “clam” was just introduced cooking 2 qtrs at a time. The McDlt came and went quickly while the McRib and salads were introduced during my tenure.
I think McD corporate should be forced to watch your channel, and especially specific videos like this one, to realize the character and skill of the people it takes to make them their huge salaries. You are amazing, and should be gifted your own corporate store, or have a subsidized franchise of your own at this point. For crying out loud, your first job was at 10 YO at a McD? Dude, yer obsessed with McD and they need people like you to help grow the company, and they need to know it.
@@jonathan248 If I knew that I would not have made the comment I made. I recall in one of his earlier videos him stating he wanted to get to that point. Since he did, Gratz!
"Help grow the company" lol at acting like McDonald's is some start up company on the rise. Its a freaking monopoly for fucks sake. They are doing just fine on the "growing" thing.
It seems like you are a very calming influence. You communicate extremely well and are positive, plus you have a great sense of humor and aren't easily upset. The folks you work with are blessed.
What a great leader. Jumping in there to help your staff is incredible. I wish my management would do anything to help us. I don't work in food service, but leadership is an asset to any job. Way to be a good guy. I appreciate you
Although I'm a fan of this channel, it definitely shows that quality of assembly decreases as speed increases. Sometimes the onions or pickles almost completely miss the burger and the slapped together upside down boxes don't help.
Just found this channel I’m loving it (NPI) because I worked at McDonald’s through high school and first part of college and I miss it! I’m literally 30 years old and still have McDonald’s nightmares (IYKYK) and reminisce about McDonald’s days. Best job ever! This channel takes me back!
When my daughter was little, she'd order a cheeseburger happy meal, with "extra, extra, EXTRA pickles", It was interesting to see what that request translated to, depending on who would make it. She got a grand total of 3 once (and was heartbroken), to once having a giant handful. 😂 Just curious, how many would you put on it?? Sending love to everyone reading this, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana!! 💙💙
it depends on the order taker too. you can only put so many on the actual screen. typically its one pickle per piece of meat tho. so a cheese burger gets 1 pickle. and can get up to 3 with the options on the screen but if the order taker is a good one they will tell the kitchen the actual request of 'extra extra EXTRA pickle'. one time a kitchen manager gave them a whole 4 piece box of pickles bc he wanted to make someone's day lmao
At my local McDonald’s the burger buns are hard as rocks. The manager doesn’t care about anything their, that’s why I go to the other one instead. But you Steve you care a lot you’re a very great leader! Keep it up! One day I’ll go to your McDonald’s!
love your videos bro ive been putting in job applications and looking up what its like working in certain places and seeing you work the way you do makes me feel a lot better and not to be so nervous good work
You should stream these. Honestly really cool to watch. And all the contraptions y’all got like the sauce things never knew y’all where that advanced lmao. Either way good videos even better job. I hope to one day have lighting hands like you at my Pizza job lmao.
My order when I go ham on McDonalds is 4 original cheeseburgers, 2 filet fish and a 10pc nugget with honey mustard and when the ice cream machines were working an m&m mcflurry. Somehow got all of that into this 5'8 body. Man I love the original cheeseburgers I get 6 if I'm just ordering those.
I like these videos so much that I try to wait until I’m really ready to concentrate to watch them. Keep the content coming!!! I see some others trying to do videos like this but yours are the best by far.
Stephan you are the best. If you could come to the EU to train workers in our McDonald's, I would be the first to come if you would train me and show me all the secrets of this business. It's a real pleasure to see how committed, progressive you are and how you give your best all the time. You give your soul and body with a very professional approach to the work that you truly and unreservedly love. If everyone had access to work and to their colleagues as you do, this world would be a much nicer place. It's a real pleasure to watch you. And I wish you the best of luck in your future work. Greetings from a small Mediterranean country in the south of Europe called Croatia.
I'd love my boss was like you, steadily giving orders and your employees and coworkers are happy working with you. Heck, I'd love to work for you. Too bad I'm from another country 🤣🤣
i've actually had a bag rip before on a big order, i was taking it out to a parked car and just as i reached the door it ripped and when i looked down there were 8 mchicken's all scattered around the floor and 3 almost empty 20 piece nugget boxes... the grill crew wasn't too happy about that but in my defense i wasn't the one who bagged the food lol
I work at McDonald’s in Morton grove Illionios and our location is as busy as yours and I respect and love seeing how other McDonald’s over the world operate and it’s cool how we almost are the same as we operate our kitchens it’s so fun to work and watch!!!!!
it's weird watching this, as someone who has run line during the lunch rush/breakfast rush/schools-out rush countless times I'm impressed at how calm he is and how well he keeps the staff in good morale...

I haven’t had McDonald’s in years cause I thought it was grossly made but now I get it , it’s just fast food made like that? Shit I can eat that . Looks really good. Imma bout to go get me a whopper 🤪. Really great video. I hope the McDonald’s cooperation sees this and you get a promotion . Well done . I’m friggin hungry
It has been at least 12 years since I have had Mc D's. Well since discovering your channel that streak ended a couple weeks ago. I won't lie I ordered 2 Cheese Burgers and a 10 piece nugget and OMG it was so good. LOL

Is it possible to get like an hour of this? Or better yet, the end of breakfest into lunch? The longer the better, its so calming and fun
and without the loud endcard music so i can fall asleep watching it without waking up with a heartattack 😄

Things have changed significantly since I was employed by McDonalds from the mid 1980’s to early 90’s. Fun to watch how different. The “clam” was just introduced cooking 2 qtrs at a time. The McDlt came and went quickly while the McRib and salads were introduced during my tenure.
My mom worked there during the McDLT thing. She still has a little vest pin from the promotion.
The frantic pace is insane! Makes a person feel grateful for McDonalds
How understanding you are towards your employees is outstanding.

Hi, eu começo a trabalhar na próxima semana! Tens algum conselho?? Estou bastante nervosa :")
the way the gopro is angled makes it look like his eyes never leave the work station and he just reaches for stuff with muscle memory lol
As someone who values speed and efficiency at work, this guy is one of the best examples of the speed in which I try to be at at work.
love this fast paced video and the prank at the end had me in BOTH halves
😂 yup I pranked him

watching this at night was not a good idea bc now I'm craving some mcdonald's lol
Literally me on his channel last 3 nights
I am glad that these videos exist. It makes me appreciate the people who work fast food more.

ooooh I like the double Filet O McFish bread-somersault. Risky move, but paid off :D 10 points to your colleague
Man was about to get HEATED over that ripped bag lmao during a rush too 😂😂😂
Not sure there was ever any indication of that

And yet I know people who won't eat stuff like pickles or onion on their burger. Sad!
I will eat anything and everything if you put it on. Don't care.
Thanks for teaching your daughter to be annoying af……..👎😑
absolute flow state. never done this before but this is soothing to watch.
i actually watched this whole video without skipping anything, holy crap. These videos are so enticing.
3:50 "I need some McChicken down....we're taking 10" sounds like a phrase you'd hear in the theatre of war.
Really want more of these vids and longer, they’re great to watch.
Lunch rushes are always fun at any restaurant, get your blood pumping
Not at chesters chicken on the run

Y’all’s teamwork is amazing.
7:23 "Not Good" - - - - This shows his attention to detail and quality!
McD's need a faster pickle picker device. A cheese dispenser like a card shuffler would be good too.
If every McDonald’s had a boss like you… everyone would want to work there😂
Customer don't get that extra cheese! 🤣
Him wearing a long sleeve is killing me!
These POV's are so fun to watch
The communication is just awesome.
i've never seen a bakery display since 2010 over here, lmao. wow, that is awesome
Kinda disappointed he didn't get to say "Reg Out".
Yo, these videos make my day when I see them on my feed. Keep it up bud!
Nothing like the sounds of food being prepped at a McDonald's to put you to sleep
My order when I go ham on McDonalds is 4 original cheeseburgers, 2 filet fish and a 10pc nugget with honey mustard and when the ice cream machines were working an m&m mcflurry. Somehow got all of that into this 5'8 body. Man I love the original cheeseburgers I get 6 if I'm just ordering those.
I always wonder how does the order slip sticks onto the burger wrapping
Got an ad for McDonald’s corporate watching this lol!
15 doubles!! Good heavens. Someone is either really hungry or having a party 😆
mind yea business.
Love your videos. Please make them longer. Don't cut anything out. It is all interesting and very relaxing.🙂

Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
Lol I Cow Bell Always Gets Me . I’m Literally Not Looking Forward To Hearing That Tonight 🤣🤣

Why do I enjoy the sound of the ketchup and mustard dispenser??? 🤣
As crew kitchen rush hours started at at 11am to 12am because at my area only have 1 Mcd drive thru

tbh i really like these mustard & ketchup dispensers, really is nothing like what i have but unique
Dude you are a machine! It so entertaining watching you work and to see passion in the workplace. Not very common anymore sadly.
I genuinely don't think I could do this as a job. I appreciate what you and other fast food workers do!
I like it when she said 15 double cheeseburgers he was like nice. Just like me at work
it's weird watching this, as someone who has run line during the lunch rush/breakfast rush/schools-out rush countless times I'm impressed at how calm he is and how well he keeps the staff in good morale... BUT ITS ALSO SO SLOW!!!... I don't know if it's just the UK but our lines here run WAY faster than this... I'm unsure of whether this place has a drive-through or not and whether they even need to push for speed but oh my. if any of the shift managers saw the line going this slow they would have an aneurysm.
That assembly line looks like it should be wider to allow better left to right movement?
True. The fact that the wrapper hangs over the table shows engineers/planners are terrible at measuring the table needs
This is the only McDonalds I would work at.
I haven’t had McDonald’s in years cause I thought it was grossly made but now I get it , it’s just fast food made like that? Shit I can eat that . Looks really good. Imma bout to go get me a whopper 🤪. Really great video. I hope the McDonald’s cooperation sees this and you get a promotion . Well done . I’m friggin hungry
dude said a whopper thats burger king 😂😂😂
seeing anything McDonalds makes me want to McDonalds
Is it me or Stephen makes its look easy/fun to work there?
Those floors look so nice I wish ours looked that nice
The immediate rage of hearing an order needs to be fired again during rush hour.
Most managers dont do shit and just leave early, but I stay until my time even risking labor to make sure I leave my store in perfect condition
Cheers to you all working fast food and striving to do a good job. I appreciate what you do, thanks
I will say one thing at McDonalds. Ive never seen such a fast system so easy to pick up. Even the papers have bum placement spots. Its very organized.
Ahh... Reminds me of my days working at Hot and Now way back in the day.
I can watch a three hour video of this 🙂.
Working in mcds for 10 yrs i always prefered the food in the production bin at least a few mins to let the burger mix
Wow. Had no idea of the speed required. Props
This is so satisfying to watch
I remember going to McDonald's as a kid. I hope that same feeling I had as a child I have in the after life
"The bag ripped" I felt your pain 😆
You should do a full shift livestream, start to finish!
I don't know if his gopro can handle it without charging lol!
9:45 XD If that really happens, it really frustrating to do it again especially a large order.
Man he is soooo slow... Kidding, nice speed and command of service. Well done!
It has been at least 12 years since I have had Mc D's. Well since discovering your channel that streak ended a couple weeks ago. I won't lie I ordered 2 Cheese Burgers and a 10 piece nugget and OMG it was so good. LOL
Impressive speed and accuracy!!! I want a burger so bad now, haha!
We should get a video of the transition from breakfast to lunch
