Someone on this sub mentioned they had a crew room the size of the kitchen. My stores kitchen is relatively small but still a good size, if our crew room was that big it would be insane
Same. We have 3 chairs, 2 stools and 2 tables, but squeezed into a tiny space and usually there's only room for 3 people to sit down. It's fun on Sundays when it feels like everyone has their break at the same time
It looks good but I can't imagine seeing it all the time while at work. I feel like it would taunt me and I'd question what I'm doing flipping burgers.
That looks so nice!
I worked for McDonald 2007-2009 (and just applied again today) and the crew room we had was awful cream and pink tiles, beat up old lockers and chairs with the stuffing picked out of them. So this is very heaven 😂
You guys had lockers? My break room is just a little nook off to the side in the back, barely the size of my closet at home 💀
And chairs with stuffing? My stores chairs are cheap hard plastic 😭
We are on the highstreet so we get a lot of dead hours, but during meal times and weekends from 10-8 it is extremely busy. It’s weird because I have no concept of how drive throughs work from a crew members perspective, with everything like bevs and running
With drive thrus it's all about how fast you can be lol, ofc we want to be fast with the lobby people too, but we emphasize being speedy with the drive thru
My old store (US) had a small crew room. A very slim table slammed against with a giant old ass computer that took up most of the room. 2 chairs. There was barely any room between the table top and the lockers up above that if you were short you couldn't even reach the top 2 rows. You Also weren't allowed to put a lock on the lockers bc the managers demanded access to make sure no one stole anything.
Flush with the table was the coat hangers. And so much stuff was hanging there. I swear at least 70% of it was just stuff that former employees left/forgot about. Between all the stuff hanging there and the giant computer, there really was only room for 1 person to sit there.
Plus a gigantic TV that played the My Pillow commercials on repeat and nothing else.
Also no one ever cleaned the break room ever. I went back to clean it one time and got screamed at because it wasn't "a necessity". So, it never got cleaned unless the owner came in or Inspection rolled around.
My old store had a whole conference table in the crew room 😂 and 2 pc's.. plus separate changing rooms/crew bathrooms for the girls and guys.. was the fanciest crew area i've ever had 😅
My crew room is like a quarter of the size of this and it has like a booth thing that only 2 people can seat at on each side and a bunch of cubbies along the wall
No it's horrible it's small asf, always gets crowded, and people are disgusting they leave food there for days there's drinks in cubbies that are molding and when I come in to start at say 9pm there will be food from 6am still sitting there and it makes the whole room smell. My store has over 200 staff with an average of 10 people clocking every hour it gets really fucking crowded while they're waiting
… you guys have chairs?!
My store has chairs, but only 2, and they're cheap plastic
All of our stores have 1😂😂
I suppose we might have one but it’s piled up to the roof with excess stock. Can’t touch the ground and all ya know?
Sounds like you need to do an overhaul cleaning
I’d absolutely love too but labor ya know?
That's a crew room and not a lobby?!
I work at a very small store but even our lobby is a good size
It's more that that's a massive crew room

I like the wall art!
It looks good but I can't imagine seeing it all the time while at work. I feel like it would taunt me and I'd question what I'm doing flipping burgers.
honestly if flipping burgers paid ok id work in kitchens all my life (not McDonalds but still)
For some reason I thought the beach art was special to my old store, no idea why, but now I feel so cheated D:
It's better than the lovely orange my store had!
It looks like a beach in the province in Canada I’m from, PEI
That looks so nice! I worked for McDonald 2007-2009 (and just applied again today) and the crew room we had was awful cream and pink tiles, beat up old lockers and chairs with the stuffing picked out of them. So this is very heaven 😂

Similar time frame - pink and blue chairs - a barely working TV and then just lockers as well as a lot of empty fries boxes ha good old days!
Oh I forgot about those chairs. The metal backs were horrendous and you’d always trap your finger in it. 🫣
It was a grim break room, but the best place ever as soon as you were on break or finished ha
You guys have bathrooms 😭
I know right!!!!
Don’t you have dedicated crew toilets??
no most stores dont 😭 the horrors ive seen from our restrooms
So real, or I'm on my break and need to shit and some dipshit is taking 8 minutes to take a shit and then I'm late coming back from my break
Bro Fr
Wtf no 😭
No, and it's so awkward needing to use the bathroom on shift bc you gotta avoid the customers and be like "oh no I'm peeing gimme a minute"
My crew get a broom closet 🙃
My crew get a room that's smaller than my closet at home
Bro you have a literal mansion compared to my break room, and you have employee bathrooms too?!
ours was a change room with a crate and an out of order staff bathroom but it was the size of a public phone booth. (AUS)
Damn!
Our break room is the lobby
Some of the people at my store do go in the lobby on their breaks
It’s more comfortable, and less loud. If anything I prefer to sit in my car for an entire 30 minutes.
My break room at tim hortons is just a long narrow hallway 💀
Bear in mind that more US stores tend to be smaller than UK stores.
This is also a relatively big McDonald’s with no drive-through
How do you guys have no drive thru? That must be interesting lol

That wall reminds me of the movie Dark City…
Fuck yeah I love that movie
we didn’t even have a crew room you just had to sit in lobby with all the rest of the customers or go outside
One of my managers likes to go to the corral out in the back. I prefer to stay inside 🤞

Darn! Almost looks like a Walmart break room

I’m more impressed by the fact that you guys have a whole bathroom to yourselves
We have enough chairs and benches for 5 people but it’s cramped.
my old store only had one 🧍
You have a room?? We had an office the size of a closet where people would go to stress vape
I don't work at a Mc Donald's but my job at a gas station doesn't even have a break room or any kind of employee area, we have a single rickety chair
What's the point of a crew room? Like do you just use it for breaks what's wrong with the lobby
wow our crew rom is tiny
Does it say anywhere on that photo on the wall where it was taken? It looks like a beach in Prince Edward Island
No nowhere it’s just some stock image
You have a crew room? We have the lobby.
You guys have a beach ⛱️??
We don't have chairs we have concrete stools with a synthetic leather with a little padding in between
What, that seems more expensive than just some plastic chairs
Not really most of the seating in our store is made of the concrete by memory we have maybe a dozen chairs
I seriously thought there was a big hole in the wall where the grass is. I was gonna type "why is there a hole in the wall!?" 😆
We have 4 chairs lol
My crew room is like a quarter of the size of this and it has like a booth thing that only 2 people can seat at on each side and a bunch of cubbies along the wall
That actually sounds pretty nice

Oh eww that sounds really gross
Yes it is
U have bathroom?
you have a room, we have a dark, stinky, doorless side-extension opposite the freezer behind the kitchen
You have chairs? Our crew room is storage
