Macca's worker refused to clean and quit mid-shift – reasonable or not?
- Replies 44
Following the viral story of an employee's dramatic resignation from Macca's, a heated debate has sprung up among social media users.
The worker took to TikTok to publicly announce his resignation after refusing to clean a 'gross' sink.
The fast food worker could be seen telling his supervisor: 'I quit' after he was asked to clean a sink that was full of greasy cooking equipment.
He even goes as far as saying: 'I ain't cleaning that, I ain't cleaning that, h*** no.'
The employee is then shown leaving the premises of the fast food restaurant before shouting: 'I quit. I'm leaving Maccas. See you on the flip side, b****!'
The clip has captured the attention of millions of users on TikTok, with more than 2.9 million of them viewing the 26-second video.
A lot of people agreed that the sink task was a bit excessive, and others went on to share their experiences working in the same field.
One user wrote: 'I quit a few times because I hate working in fast food and how disrespectful people are to us,' alongside a shocked emoji.
Another user added: 'I also work at McDonald's; I feel you.'
Meanwhile, other users were quick to point out that the young man probably should have done what he was told to since he was being paid.
'Not even that bad; it's like 20 minutes of work,' said one person. Another joined the conversation and commented, 'Kids don't wanna work; they are so lazy these days.'
The viral footage has since been taken down by TikTok from its platform due to 'harassment and bullying'.
