I worked at McDonalds as my first job in 1987. A few things from memory:

Sandwiches were prepared and kept in a warmer behind the front counter. I think they could be kept in the “bin” for 10 minutes. This meant people got their food faster (mostly).

I think our goals (which we mostly met) were taking the order within 40 seconds and getting them their food within 130 seconds. This went for drive thru and counter.

Every customer was to be greeted with a “welcome to McDonalds” as they entered the store.

The McDLT was a pain on the arse.

I liked working breakfast shift, making pancakes was fun.

Apple pies were deep fried and came out hot as lava. Needed to cool for an hour before distribution.

The ice cream machine was never broken. It was cleaned and serviced daily.

Where I grew up there was a McDonalds kind of next door to a Burger King. We would ride our bikes up to them as kids.
One day we were goofing off with the Burger King crown on our head and the manager said he would give us free fries if we walked inside the McDonalds with the crowns on.
Goofy arse memory that I haven’t thought of in 20 plus years

Shreveport McDs by any chance? We also had to greet as customers walked into the door.
