Every company has its secrets, even a chain as well-known and widespread as McDonald's. No matter how many Big Macs a customer may buy in their lifetime, they may never really know what's going on behind the counter or in the kitchen of their favorite fast food establishment.
There are some secrets, hacks, and policies that only an insider at a company would possibly know.
Perhaps you worked behind the counter at McDonald's for a couple years and learned all about their "secret" menu items. Now, you never order off the regular menu!
Or maybe you worked in the kitchen for a few months but quit when your boss encouraged you to use moldy cheese and expired condiments on burgers.
Or perhaps you know never to stop by a McDonald's between certain hours because food gets left sitting out rather than cooked fresh.
