He looks like a really smart one...

A fierce online debate has erupted after a New Zealand McDonald’s employee filmed himself quitting his job in the middle of his shift after he was asked to clean cooking equipment.
Tiktok user Fionn_McCallum posted his abrupt walk-out with the caption “They really thought I was going to clean that”.
“Hell no, I am not cleaning that, I ain’t cleaning that,” he said in the 26-second clip. The fast food worker tells his manager that he quits. Angered by the announcement, the manager can be heard yelling at the crew member while his teammates beg him to stay.

That video should follow them around for the rest of their life, to every job they ever apply for.
He’ll go far in life.He’s sure to find a career in which he’s never asked to do something he doesn’t want to do.
Being lazy and disrespectful is now considered a virtue.
smh
With the amount of jobs available today and the fact that we don’t have enough workers, I’m sure he’ll be just fine. It’s McDonald’s for god sake. This happens daily.
I think the worker was a bit of a jerk — but this seems like more evidence of a big trend. A lot of workers feel exploited. They feel they have a raw deal. They feel under paid, under appreciated, and they don’t feel respected. They aren’t going to take it anymore, and so they walk away from work.
You can say “They are wrong” but that doesn’t get you very far and it doesn’t solve any sort of problem. And this is a problem. People believe that they can’t get ahead, the deck is stacked against them, and everybody wants to take advantage of them. This is bad.
It is so stupid on multiple levels:
1. The act itself is horrible and tells you to never hire this guy.
2. Filming it and putting it up on TikTok shows incredibly bad judgment and tells you to never hire this guy.
I suppose he’ll always be able to flip burgers for a living after this career-ending stunt. Oh...wait!
A business owner I know had a manager close the store mid day, lock up and report him to OSHA for hazardous working conditions ... claimed there was a ghost in the building.
This nation is fast approaching peak crazy.
I have no idea what McDonalds employees in New Zealand earn. Depending on how much, it may not have been worth it to this employee, and he has a right to quit if he doesn’t think so.
Just shows that the entitled culture isn’t confined to the USA
I worked at a fast food joint in high school. We all had to clean dishes, machines, etc. WTF - that’s part of the job and we didn’t question it. I can only imagine what my dad would have done had I acted that way then posted it online.
Yes it is. Being shut down for two years, Certainly didn’t help anything.
I’ve worked in the food industry myself (no, never at mcdonalds). I did a little bit of everything as i was expected to do. Cooking, cleaning, dishwashing, food prep, cashiering, etc. And I really liked it. Getting paid for it was icing on the cake.
In the military his type is called the “BLUE FALCON” aka buddy f***er, and will usually end up with an ass beating from his team and a transfer.
It seems to be world-wide since this was New Zealand.
I hired a new crew of Stock Boys and Cashiers just about every Spring season at the Garden Center.
Our initial Staff Meeting was in one of the bathrooms, where I showed them how I wanted things properly cleaned, stocked, etc. And I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed the toilet brush and showed them how to do it!
If anyone balked at this being a part of their job, they were let go THAT DAY.
If you’re too big for the small jobs, you’re too small for the big jobs. :)
I imagine now he’s going to need the government to pay off his student loan. Jo Jo would probably give him a thumbs up since he’s a foreigner and Jo Jo’s motto is “American Last”.
“New Zealand”
