If you haven't seen the Mystery Shopper Report (and each McDOnald's & Burger King in this country has each report sent to them, so that they can be celebrated/appealed/learnt from as necessary), how do you know it was false?

Furthermore, if this report highlights an inability to perform the job as specified, aren't they correct to discipline you?


What you are saying would have been a possibility had I continued futher on without help, but what the customer said did not reflect anything to do with my stress. It seems it was based more on their own 'opinion' rather than fact, or what actually happened during that day. What they said was that I did not smile, say "Thank you", or even finish the order, which is a complete load of bollocks. I always do say thank you, I usually smile, and that part about not finishing the order...Well it was only my job that day to take the order only, not also fill it as well, but that customer must have thought I intentionally made someone else fill my orders - that's not what happened. I sometimes, like I said, get help from other co-employees, if they are already scheduled to work, who will take my order slips and fill the bags with fries, burgers, condiments, and fill the drinks and hand those out.

And I actually did get shown part of the report at the time when I was being fired, I was just not allowed to keep it for myself as, like I said, it's an intelligence report used for certain reasons. And I do not have access to it either way, and I would suppose the head office has that report along with every other reports done, not just on me but other employees and other locations, on file but not allowing it accessible to even former employees, which pisses me off.

As well, the LD player was NOT a coincidence, P_G. I have not even received the cheque from McDonald's yet for the $500, so I obviously did not get the LD player because of me settling with McDonald's the case against them. I was working at another restaurant, and I just happened to get my pay a few days before I started this topic (before that weekend).

I will be waiting at LEAST two weeks, if not more, depending how long it takes the respondent in Toronto to sign the contracts I signed and that my conciliator signed (and my dad signed as well as a witness) sent to them. My conciliator and I met on Wednesday earlier this week, and I gave her the papers, and she said she would immediately send them out once she signed them, which doesn't take even little time at all considering she was the one who prepared and typed them up.

On a sort of related note.......

How bad must it be to not be able to get it together enough to keep a job at McDonalds?


I suppose that it sucks now, because I am having a hard time getting other jobs, and people want references from McDonald's by contacting them, which I am not allowing them to do, until I get that letter of reference I asked for. And I was hoping to go to the Cleveland convention, but I can't now. I don't have a job atm. either, which sucks a lot

Oh, man, I love McDonalds. I don't care what they put in there, because from what I can tell, it is a whole lot of delicious with a side of tasty.

As for the case, it seems (from his side of the story) that the management was given a clear overview of his situation before he was hired, and thus did hired him with the judgement that he could perform the essential functions of the job in question. I am not familiar with Canadian law, but in America it is illegal for an employer such as McDonalds to discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in any terms of his employment, such as his firing. Since he was already deemed qualified for the job with his disability, any complications due to this disability should not be grounds for which his employer may fire him.
Creativity can always cover for a lack of knowledge.

Logically, yes. But unfortunately there is no rule stating that everyone is required to follow logic. What a better place this world would be if there was.
