McDonald’s employees quit after seeing new work uniforms

Two McDonald’s employees have decided to hand in their notice after seeing the fast food chain’s new work uniforms.

McDonald’s UK recently announced that there would be a nationwide uniform change, which would allow staff to wear more casual items of clothing like McDonald’s themed beanies, sweatpants, and bandanas.

The news sparked criticism online, with many believing that the overall look’s too bland, and that it would be hard for customers to recognize staff members as they’d be wearing normal clothes.

McDonald’s employees have also been left outraged by the new uniform, with some even threatening to quit their jobs over the massive change.

In a viral clip, TikToker Cormac (cormac_mccabe) filmed himself and his co-worker dancing down the street, with a text-ovelay reading: “Us handing in our notice after seeing that new uniform.”

The two friends can be seen wearing McDonald’s visors and shirts in the current uniform style unveiled in 2017. Their polos and hats are gray with yellow trim, adorned with the Golden Arches logo.

“OF making a comeback,” the TikToker wrote in the caption, suggesting that his new source of income could be OnlyFans.

In the comments, many McDonald’s employees shared their thoughts on the new uniform options. “Don’t get me started I am not working in a bright yellow t-shirt,” one user wrote. “No my manager was sat in the office looking at other jobs today,” another said. “I’m not wearing it,” a third added.

While most users didn’t like them, some believed that the new designs were an improvement. “Still better than the uniform I had to wear when I got the job there in 2012,” one person commented. “I don’t get it I think it looks better than the current one,” another said.
