and there you go.

Hey everyone I am Kaya, I'm a former McDonald's employee

and here are 10 ways you're eating McDonald's wrong.

(upbeat music)

So instead of ordering a sausage egg McMuffin,

you can order a sausage McMuffin and just add egg.

It does save you a few cents and as a former worker,

I do know the smartest customers were the ones

that bought a la carte and just added the extras on top.

So this also applies to other food items on the menus

such as some of the sandwiches.

It is usually just cheaper to order the extras on top.

Tip number two, using your fry container as a burger holder

to avoid messy situations.

If you're someone who's a messy eater like a lot of us,

you can put the burger in the fry container

and while you're eating,

the little extra bits are gonna fall in the container

and later you can just pick those out and eat 'em

if you want to.

And the extra bits from the burger

also won't fall on your clothes while you're driving

and eating at the same time for example.

So tip number three, McDonald's on the go.

Say you're running late for work or you're at college

and you're walking, what you can do

is punch a little hole through the container

and put it on the straw and there you go,

so you can drink with this,

you can take a bite of your burger,

you can have some fries, all in one hand on the go.

Tip number four is adding Mac sauce to your french fries.

It's kind of like animal style fries but it's inexpensive

and it's kind of like your own homemade version.

Back when I worked there, I discovered this

and I ate this so many times, probably more than I should've

but I really enjoy it honestly.

And if you've never tried this,

you should definitely try it.

(upbeat music)

Tip number five is the budget Big Mac.

Basically you take a McDouble,

ask for no ketchup and no mustard

and instead add Big Mac sauce.

I tried this in my first week of working there

and I loved it.

The taste is honestly really similar to the regular Big Mac

and it's so much cheaper so yeah why not.

(upbeat music)

Tip number six is bring your own salad

and then just add chicken nuggets into it.

It's like the best of both worlds,

you can get your little unhealthy bits of chicken nuggets

and also have your salad

and also it is probably gonna be a bit cheaper

'cause fast food salads can get expensive

and the nuggets themselves are usually pretty cheap.

(upbeat music)

Tip number seven, is knowing that

you can add egg to any burger on the menu that you want.

So here we have a Big Mac

and you can add egg to the sandwich to make it an Egg Mac.

(upbeat music)

The eighth hack is knowing that you can order

either the round egg or the folded egg

on any sandwich you want.

So you can add it to to a breakfast sandwich,

you can order it to a lunch sandwich

and you know that you have the option

to like, switch it up whenever you want.

For example, the McGriddle circular sandwich,

to me it makes more sense to add the circular egg onto it

because, well, it's a circular sandwich.

(upbeat music)

Tip number nine is if you take a McFlurry top,

say you're driving, you're eating your nuggets on the go,

you take a McFlurry top and you put your sauce

in the top as a holder.

Say you're driving, you can just take McNugget

and dip it in there, knowing it's secure,

you won't make a mess

and yeah, that's how you can eat 'em on the go

and still dipping them into your sauce.

(upbeat music)

Tip number 10 just remember

that all McDonald's employees are human,

don't forget to treat them with respect,

sometimes things happen, orders misplaced,

takes a little while

but employees are working as hard as they can

and the nicer you are,

the more likely to give you freebies,

remember your orders,

get you out a little quicker,

get in and out a little quicker and yeah.

So my name is Kaya

and this was 10 ways you're eating McDonald's wrong.
