It Turns Out That Macca's All Day Breakfast is Kinda Yuck

When McDonald's introduced all-day breakfast to selected restaurants across the country you could hear the collective cheering. We were stoked to be given the opportunity to nibble on a crispy hash brown at 3pm, or even 3am. 

But employee's have revealed that you might want to think twice before picking something off the breakfast menu in the afternoon.

Australian Reddit users posed this question to McDonald's employees: "How do you manage all-day breakfast?" And the answers were less than desirable. 

This is because it turns out that dealing with the all-day breakfast demands is a huge pain in the ass, and this can lead to the food quality slightly suffering.

Don't stress too much, it's nothing dangerous. But just little things like, meat being cooked at such a rapid pace that there is no time to clean cooking equipment as often as they should be.

"Basically we have the 2 grills and now one is devoted to eggs and [meat patties] and the other grill which has 3 spots does everything else," one employee wrote on Reddit. "Sausage and [meat patties] regularly go down on the same grill one after the other without a steam clean."

"After about 3 we do cook to order breakfast which takes up so much f--king time, I work at a new store that opened up 4 months ago so space isn't really an issue but cleaning the grills to put down sausage is a bitch," they wrote. "Plus sometimes you get lazy c--ts that just cook a bunch of eggs and then use that for the next 5 hours…do NOT order all day breakfast after 3 because you don't know what you're going to get, some of my co-workers disgust me."

Obviously, these employees don't represent every restaurant, and it may not even represent NZ's McDonald's, but it does offer some interesting insight into how McDonald's is handling such a big change to its operations.
