Corporate determines the target staffing level of stores, both in general based on revenue and local trends, and hourly based on revenue projections. There isn’t much that goes on in a McDs that isn’t dictated by corporate.
The last time I went into a McDonald’s there was nothing but Spanish speakers behind the counter and noticed they put in cash registers with pictures so their illegal alien employees could run them.
I swore I would never ever go back and I didn’t..
I really hate that company...
