re: The cacophony at Mcdonalds

As someone who worked at McDonald's when I was young: it's really frickin loud back there. Sizzling meat, deep fryers going, all of the beeping timers on the heat trays, meat griddle, and fryers, air vents on griddle and fryers, front counter barking out what orders they need, people on the line making sandwiches yelling what meats they need cooked, etc. e

No different than other similar fast food restaurants, yet it seems there is much more loud and screeching talk from McDonald's employees than other places.

Most of the times this does not involve a front counter person yelling back to the kitchen staff. Its conversation between workers standing within a few feet of each other. Sometimes they are carrying on with friends who come in , often just loitering at the counter and blocking access for other customers.

This unbusinesslike activity often accelerates during the afternoon aafter rush hour.
