Respect to Stephen for giving customers what they pay for. At my local McD's you might as well order a small fry because they really don't put any more than that in the large box!
I recently applied to work at McDonalds and I'm starting next week I have used your videos as like a info dump on how to make certain burgers and stuff and how to do it
pay more attention to his little tricks and time savers, they help more. Especially the way and speed at which he wraps. Just make sure you get the order accurate then work on speed
This is one of my favorite stations to work because no matter what your always working there barely any breaks in the action and it kind of of like little mini game
Takes me back to the days when I worked at McDonald’s and ran the fry station. Was always hectic when it was busy, hard to keep up when it was busy but I enjoyed it.
Team player, just because you're on "fry duty" doesn't mean you're only doing fries. Love it. and thanks for sharing what you do. more people should be watching these videos
I'm glad your McDonald's still has the red cardboard boxes for fries. Most of the McDonald's near me have switched to paper pouches (like the small fries) for medium and large too, and the sizes are smaller than they used to be. The new large is only slightly bigger than the old medium.
@@elvergia3714honestly McDonald’s isn’t even all too unhealthy, the most common unhealthy thing in McDonald’s are the fries, they are fried and lose most of the potato nutrients and have a lot of sodium. The burgers are fine, regular meat and toppings
I wish my McD fries came out fresh like that. Every time I order I always ether get stale or limp fries that look like they’ve been under the headlamp for 2 hours.
Thanks for the uploads Stephen. It's really cool to get a look into the inner workings of McDonalds! Congratulations on all the success and we appreciate all your uploads.
Me low-key wanting to work at his Mcdonald's location now because I really love the energy and atomsphere it gives off and how nice all emploeeyes are treated. ❤ The ones I used to work at were not so nice locations.. 😅😢 and they mistreated certain/some people who worked there. Esp the recently hired ones ./ I have one waiting for me when I move again, but, that's not for a couple more months - 😶💀
Can you please do a video on all the prep, like preparing the slivered onions, iceberg shredded lettace, crinkle cut pickles, tomatoes, and dill pickle slices?
Then order extra or som. I always order 2 fries and yea it cost extra money. But somtimes you need to think about the amzing taste ur gonna get. And not about what it costs
....I wish our McDonald's had a ton of Stephens working (and let's be real, the rest of that crew seems quite great too - and glad to hear the manager shouting out their "great job" periodically). I feel like this location's got great, fresh food (McDonald's standard great and fresh mind you) and clearly runs at a "fast food" pace as it should. I'm jealous!
Last time I had McDonald's, my large fry containers were only partially full. I exclaimed to myself that the restaurant could have added another fifteen fries to each one.
Wish the McDonald's in my city were as generous with the fries as you are. One franchisee runs 99% of the McDonald's in my town. You're lucky if the fries peek out of the container. The guy's stores are notorious for missing items, too. Guy's a real sob.
In 1959 when I had my 1st meal, fries were perfect and tender! NOWDAYS, not salted well enough, not always tender and all Scrap Pieces in the bottom! No ex uses except the quality of fries have gone down and prices WAY UP! It costs 20 cents for the fries in a Medium Order!
This needs to be a training video for every McD's on the planet. Because every single one I've been to, my fries are always lukewarm at best, usually cold, and never more than 2/3rds full...
Man if only a lot of McDonalds employees care like you. The way you fill the fries plus seasoning them with salt is perfect!! Some McDonald’s locations in my area don’t freaking fill the fries up all the way or seasoning them with salt 🤦♂️ They just don’t care
the last mcdonalds i went to was under renavation dining closed only drive thru. 30 minute wait to order. by the time it got my order my nuggets rock hard fries as cold as bricks. horrible. complained to corporate they suggestest i go i different mcdonalds until renovations complete. ugh😢
Darn, I love fries. I love it much more than burgers or something else. Usually, when I eat some fast food at such places -- I order only fries, something to drink and chicken (nuggets or like that), about some weeks ago I tried to taste cheeseburger, very casual one, and I like it! Not a big fan of fast food, but still.
I clicked on this so fast cause I was hoping to find the optimal time for fries. I hate when I get them and they are so hot and hard. I also hate when they've been sitting too long and they are cold. In either of those two situations, they are really hard to digest. The sweet spot is when they are warm but slightly soggy and soft with crisp edges. Because it soaks up all the salt and flavor. They taste delicious that way. Like they're not overcooked and they haven't just been sitting around forever.
One time I and my mom went to buy some McDonald’s meals. She don’t know how to use the order screen and when she ordered a HAPPY MEAL (meal for children), she was angry just because it’s LACK OF FRIES AND SMALL CHICKEN (while she just ordered a little meal for a 5 years old kid), then she never come back to any McDonald store.
Great video as always...serious question now: What type of salt is used on the fries? I always find salt used at McDonalds different to the stuff I use at home....
I work at McDonalds, and sometimes on the little timer screen thingys it will ask you if you would like to filter the oil, which is when the oil drains, the vat is cleaned, and then filled up with new oil. To give you an idea of about how often we do it, in a 3 hour shift, i normally filter it at least twice a day
I have orientation on the 9th, I’m 16 and it’ll be my first job ever. I’ve been binge watching these videos and POS trainings for the past couple of days 😭
@@gorouw2534 I just got done typing out my whole experience on the McDonald’s employee subreddit lol, but it went well! Weird, a bit unprofessional too if I’m being honest. But my co-workers were all kind and super funny. I just got home from my first shift a few hours ago! First and only thing I learned so far is fries. I go in again tomorrow for my second training day :)
Speaking as a former McDonald's employee, it's usually either 2 things, 1. Lazy employee who doesn't care at all. 2. Manager wants to save money and tells their employees not to fill them up. I would always fill up the fries because I HATED barely getting any on my larges. But my GM got on my case about stuffing fries because of food costs. Although, all the other managers were cool with me filling fries, so I just did it when he wasn't around.
I sure wish I could figure out why my local fast food places are ALWAYS missing items from an order. It's not just one place either. They ALL are horrible. I'm getting real tired of spending money and then finding something missing. Oh you ordered 2 hashbrowns? How about we just give you 1. Oh you ordered a drink, well how about no straw. To top it off, McDonald's doesn't even have an option in their app to report an order being wrong, missing items, etc. The whole reason for ordering in the app is to make it harder for employees to screw my order up.
Your vats need cleaning! Awesome to see one of my favorite stations. And one thing we were always yelling is "You take em, drop em!" Meaning i would make different sizes and fill the rack but at times i had to move away from the station so the person that took the last pre made had to drop fries.
Welcome to Sunny Springs! Is also that bus driver is only transportation of the Sunny Springs then buses also mean a transportation that only the tower , the church, concert hall ! Then buses only drives commercial driving is mean drive off. Then buses has trying that eached the bus stop in time! Then someone blocking the door unjam perfect! That release the door and let’s keep rolling you remember drive the bus doors open! That ticket print is only a 1-3 single trip is only a ticket print! Buses only drives in each bus stop. You reached the last bus stop and only HIT return the bus garage then only drive off the bus and turn off the ignition guide the bus is ended.
I like that fries machine where i see you put the fries basket underneath it and fries come out of it like i like that how cool i like i don't think all McDonald's does this but that right there that's awesome i love it
Gadzooks, Stephen!!! You're making me hungry with all those fries! Lol I could NEVER work at McDonalds...I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to eat some of the food lol

The contrast between fresh McDonald’s fries and cold McDonald’s fries is indescribable.

It’s always awesome when you get fresh fries that were just made.
I always order them without salt
And put the salt on them myself
I wish my McD fries came out fresh like that. Every time I order I always ether get stale or limp fries that look like they’ve been under the headlamp for 2 hours.
You can ask for fresh fries, only takes 3 mins
@@bct_planespotter5598 I thought about that, I just didn’t want to come off as rude if I asked them lol.
It's amazing how these fries are so amazing when they are hot and fresh yet turn to Styrofoam if left in the fridge overnight.
That’s everything tho
Probably because of the salt lmao
Lmfao
Bad thing about fries. There's no saving them for later.

For some reason I feel like I could watch this all day
I don’t know why, but I love the sound the fry boxes make when they’re unfolded.
Unfortunately this video is frustrating to watch as NO location ever fills fries properly as you're doing. None. Ever.

I’m a “fry guy” at my McDonald’s and I’ve never seen the “baby fries” loaded your way.
I’m now gonna change my method to yours.
Nice work!

I've seen white castle experiment with the fully automated fry robot. Any plans for robots at MCDs?
Now at McDonalds, I just listen for the beeping and employee commotion at the kitchen. Just so calming sometimes to see humans in their daily lives.
Where is this

Yeah

Love the videos. I'd love to see a video dedicated to the grills - hamburgers, etc. Maybe even during breakfast. Thank you!
Is the oil fresh?
Why isnt there a rubber floor mat by the window where the drinks and fluids can be spilled?

I couldn't run the fries. I'd salt the heck out of them.
I worked at burger king in 1983 and the terra cotta floors are exactly the same as today 40+ yeats later
Just curious why are there buns in the walk-in freezer???
I guess to keep them from molding and going bad. I am sure they are heated up before served to customers
Watching these vids makes me a little excited to apply and work at a McD's in the near future
Love the fry station 😊
Noticed how you asked someone to get you a case of fries, but you ended up having to go get them yourself.
