What do you think of the infamous McDonald’s “no quit policy”?

Where apparently they don’t allow a worker to quit until they’ve spoken to a manager or regional supervisor.

I worked for that company briefly back in the early 80's and the store I worked at was appallingly managed.

Every late shift was short staffed.
Most of my colleagues were 16-19 (so law prevented under 18's from working beyond 10pm) which left maybe 3 or 4 of us in store beyond closing to clean the place up.

Store closed at 10pm. We never left before 5 in the morning that's one reason why I quit.

It was an awful company then sounds like nothing has changed today.

Management threatening to withhold pay if people quit on them without the required notice ?
Wouldn't be at all surprised.
Number of times i had to chase Management for hours owed but unpaid.......

@Picklebobble2 It took 7 hours to clean the place?

@JimboSaturn Yep. 'Cleaning' involved giving you a damp 'J-cloth' and a paper cup of powder and going over every inch of kitchen surface having dipped your cloth in the powder and making small circular motions on every surface, then wiping clear and drying with another cloth.
Ajaxing was what it was known as.

Unless you were (un)-lucky enough to be working the Dive.
A deep; wide sink where all the frying baskets had to be scrubbed in boiling water with detergent.

You came out on there filthy; greasy and stank to high heaven.

@Picklebobble2 I have to do a similar think in Dunkin Donuts, every surface area was covered in grease because of the deep fryer. We actually had to hose off the floor into a drain. It was gross. The sink was so greasy and disgusting .
