I'm an ex-McDonald's worker – three-word code gets you fresh, piping hot fries every time but staff hate it when you ask
A FORMER McDonald's worker has revealed the secret code word to get fresh fries every time. Jamie Calder worked at the fast food chain for just over a year. 2 2 The now 20-year-old, who studies at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, is now sharing insider knowledge about his time there. The student also shared what is the biggest pet peeve of McDonald's staff. First up, he said customers can add three words to their order that ensures fries are fresh and piping hot. But he admits that staff hate it when you ask because it "ruins the flow". He said: '[My biggest pet peeve is someone] ordering 'no salt fries' just to get fresh ones. '[We'll be] in a rhythm of stacking fries and then have to wipe all the salt off the fry station and fry a new portion just for a customer who is [probably] going to dump two packs of salt on them as soon as you hand them. 'It ruins the flow and slows down the process." From what different sounds mean in the kitchen to why you should ask for special seasoning on your burger, here's what else Jamie says McDonald's fans need to know. 'The seasoning for the burger patties is incredible on nuggets or Chicken Selects,' he said. 'If it's quiet enough not to be an annoying request, I would highly recommend [asking for it]. Terrifying moment brawl erupts in McDonald's as raging customer LEAPS over counter and throws punches at worker 'And if you order on the app to collect, you can usually save some time as they'll start preparing your order before you get to the restaurant (as long as you check in when nearby)." He continues: 'The infamous McDonald's beeping comes from just about every machine in the kitchen. 'Certain beeps tell you when you get an order, when fries are halfway cooked or fully cooked, for the grills, fryers, drive-through, etc - everything beeps and it's a nightmare.' The fast food worker also lifted the lid on the customers who cause the biggest problems - and it's not people being picky about their burger toppings. He said: 'The worst 'customers' are the school-age kids who cause havoc in the dining area. 'Spraying water guns at customers and tossing tubs of sauce everywhere. 'The worst [experience I've had] was when someone blocked the bathroom sink with a plastic bag and flooded the bathroom.'

Terrifying moment brawl erupts in McDonald's as raging customer LEAPS over counter and throws punches at worker
TERRIFYING footage shows the moment a brawl erupted in McDonald's as an angry customer attacks a worker. The furious client lost his rag at the fast food chain's restaurant in Acton, west London. 7 7 7 Footage captured at the fast food branch shows the fuming man appear to throw an object at one of the servers, before climbing over the counter and running into the kitchen. The man then tries to throw a punch at one of the kitchen staff. Another member of staff can be seen trying to pull him away, and calm the customer down before he attempts to throw some more punches. One appears to use a tray to try and defend himself, while two other staff members attempt to hold the customer back. But the brawl seems to escalate even further, as the angry starts encroaching on the original worker he threatened. The customer can then be seen tackling the worker to the ground. His colleagues rush in the help, with two of them managing to pull the man back by his shirt. A female worker at the end of the video can be heard saying: "Can you help us please? "Driver, please. "Driver, can you help us," as various delivery drivers can be seen in front of the counter watching the conflict unfold. Moment McDonald's worker SLAPS yob across head before brawl breaks out as group storm restaurant A McDonald's spokesperson said: "The safety and security of our people and our customers is our utmost priority it is completely unacceptable to see anyone behaving this way. "We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to violent and anti-social behaviour, and we are currently assisting the Police with their enquiries." Metropolitan police have been approached for comment. This kind of incident is not rare to McDonald's fast food chains, as just last month another violent incident that occurred between a worker and customer was captured on video. Multiple workers and customers were seen involved in the brawl that occurred at a McDonald's in Merseyside. The month prior, a group of youths were also captured in a mass brawl with a McDonald's staff member at a branch in Dalston, East London. In the footage captured, the yobs can be seen forcing entrance into the fast food restaurant, before one staff member appears to retaliate by slapping one of the teenagers across the face. Another incident saw a mass brawl break out in a McDonald's car park near Finsbury Park in North London. It occurred between delivery drivers and members of public. These incidents come amid rising anti-social behaviour in the hospitality and retail sector across the country. 7 7 7
