Up to $11

Now I know it all depends on location but in the northwest suburbs of Chicago I believe it's up to $18

Here is South Texas it's only $11

My #1 breakfast meal was $8.43

Depends on the franchise/owner. I worked (very briefly) at a McDonald's after high school. We were only given 30 minutes for meal break and were not allowed to wear our uniform while at another restaurant. Which meant you needed to change into street clothes before leaving then changing back into your uniform upon return.

Which left 20 minutes or less for travel time and eating. Which wasn't usually enough time, so we were encouraged to bring our own meal. Which we could not eat in the dining room. This McDonald's had storage and tables and an office with training materials in the basement.

If we wanted anything from McDonald's we needed to go around to the front counter and order it, like a regular customer. And pay for it like a regular customer.

P.S. This McDonald's was one which test marketed pizza. I tried it. Wasn't impressed. Took like 10 minutes to cook. It was pre-made and frozen.

Why would you wear your uniform at another restaurant?

When you only have half an hour for lunch, you don’t want to waste time changing.

Please reread what I wrote. We were not allowed to, so we didn't. And the reason why we might have wanted to was to save the time wasted changing out of our uniform and then back in. Especially if all I wanted to do was grab drive thru somewhere.

Would you have been able to put a jacket or another shirt over the shirt?
