McDonald's drive-thru can be a lifesaver, whether you're on a long car journey picking up a much-needed bite to eat, or if you just want a quick and easy snack, it makes life so much easier. But have you ever sat at the drive-thru unsure if the McDonald's worker knows you're waiting to place your order?

One McDonald's worker admitted she will ignore customers who have an annoying habit she can't stand when they come up to the drive-thru. As she revealed in a TikTok video, she urged people to not do it when they are ordering their food. The Aussie fast food worker who goes by the name @maccasworkeraddict online said she will purposely leave people waiting if they are impatient and "scream hello" as soon as they enter the drive-thru. However people have branded her "rude" and "entitled" for her revelation, but fellow McDonald's workers have agreed with her.

Mocking people who complain about being ignored at the drive-thru, the young employee made a skit on TikTok with the caption "You can't keep ignoring the car in the drive thru just because they screamed 'Hello' as soon as they get there". She looked smug as she threw up 'L' for loser signs with her fingers, indicating that she believes the exact opposite.

One commenter claimed they only say hello if they have been there a while, the employee replied and said: "That's allowed. If you're waiting ages then you can say something." But others have been quick to slam her behaviour. One user commented: "How about just saying, "One second, I'll be right with you." I say hello because I don't know if they know I'm there," whilst another brutally said: "Your sh**y customer service is why you'll stay there too." Although other McDonald's workers agreed with her point and shared their own experiences as one added: "When they pull up and scream 'hello' as soon as they get there so you ask them what they want and they say 'yeah mate still deciding'."
