McDonald's Dress Code

I always regard it as being incognito and blending in. Usually that is the best way to evaluate the service, food and location. BTW, I hate hearing an adult use the word "allowed". It shouldn't be in your vocabulary unless you're talking to a very young child.
I cannot think of a better word to use than "allowed", since I understand the OP essentially to be asking, "Do the guidelines allow for jeans to be worn?" What word would you use?

Thank you, stilllearning. That is exactly what I meant.
At our local fast food places I've seen everything from jeans to people in suits grabbing some lunch before going on their way. A quick meal on the run is the whole idea so wear whatever you please.

margeryprk, a few companies mention shopper attire in their guidelines, but generally it is generic. There was recent comment on the forum to the effect that a company was telling shoppers to wear their underwear under their clothing rather than over their clothing. I never saw that myself, but if it was there, it was a knee jerk to what some shopper may or may not have done. I have seen shops that require closed toe, rubber sole shoes, but this was a safety issue for the type of evaluation involved. I have seen shops that require long pants, which was also a safety issue.
My rule of thumb is dress to be inconspicuous. If a company is specifying dress beyond safety issue apparel, they are treading close to treating you as an employee, and that is good neither for them nor for us. 'Business attire' and 'casual' have very different meanings in different parts or the country and even as to season of the year. Dress to be inconspicuous and you will be fine.

I have only seen one referance to attire in guidelines and it was to wear "business casual" at a bank loan shop, presumably because no loan officer will take you seriously and go through their entire sales pitch if you look like you can't afford to pay them back. For McDonald's I would think business casual would be fine for lunch since many people go out for fast food on the break, but may be more memorable at dinner or on a weekend.
For McDonald's, they *may* not even care if you wear your underwear, as outerwear.

At McD's anything goes.
Except maybe don't wear a cow suit claiming you thought you were in Chick-Fil-A on free chicken day.
The dang MSC rejected my shop! Ooooh... so I wore a cow suit. They thought I would be too "memorable". They said I made myself STAND OUT. Some MSCs are just impossible to work with. SMH

At McD'sm I have seen: butt crack, bathing suits, "butt crack thug wear" and plenty more
Yep, I have seen women wearing shorts so short you can damn near see their uterus.

Address please..............
LOL. Just about any convention center but more so for Dallas, Houston (Tex-ass doncha know) and Chicago.
I do a lot of McDonald shops in Delhi-NCR.
All people are nicely dressed.
Mostly young crowd, in latest trendy Ts and appropriate pants.
TV is always Mute at all McDonald restaurants.

This person asks for advice.
You give them a little rip for using the word allow.
This is in response to McDonalds dress code.
If someone does not know, how does that some one find the information they need to do what ever the job requires?
Aparrently not from another mystery shopper.
At least not from you.
So sad to throw hurt at people who would think they maybe could ask you to help them understand.
So here it goes, you will belittle me for challenging your abusive hate speak.

Thanks for the input, Nevercold. Duly noted.

Thank you nevercoldinhouston. Many of us are appalled by the behavior of folks on the internet and on forums who seem to think that because they are not face-to-face with their target they can be noxious to others. The real pity is that more than likely in a face-to-face encounter they would be pleasant and intelligent people. Most unfortunately when a few start acting like jerks, many follow in their footsteps as if it was acceptable behavior.

Checking with the scheduler is a very good place to start.

What "abusive hate speak"? Where was any hurt thrown? Who was being a jerk, and to whom? Are we all reading the same stuff, here?
The only things even anywhere *close* to being hateful, were the posts accusing others of being hateful, abusive, and jerks. And not even *those* posts are hateful ~ just confusing and possibly inappropriate.
Have I fallen into the Twilight Zone? Or, were there a whole bunch of posts that were deleted, that I missed or something? None of this seems to be in any context to this thread.

That is at least a start at a positive contribution to the community as the Posting Guidelines for this forum request. Historically it has also been that this forum was intended to help our colleagues in ways that were within our Independent Contractor guidelines and certainly the OP question about attire would not, in most circumstances, be considered confidential information that could not be shared.

I frankly do not know if you have ever come out of the Twilight Zone. The Posting Guidelines ask that you add a positive contribution to the forum and unfortunately I see more smarty pants from you than positive contributions. If you are here just to party and goof around, stay in the Chat area. That is an area where professionalism and respect are less expected.

Stormcloud,
Encourging off topic flippancy in the professional areas of the forum just does not comport with the "positive contribution" rule. Next time, open a Chat thread for this sort of thing, please. The rest of us are trying to take our obligations to posters seriously.

Just answer the question! Stop criticizing!
I wear what I normally wear every day on all shops unless the Guidelines state differently. I don' think I ever noticed what customers were wearing at McDonalds. Unless your shopping really high end shops, like $30,000 watches, you would dress appropriately. I never wear my Timex in this type of shop.

Apparently the most important posting guideline is "Have fun."

"Have fun" does not imply any appropriateness of doing so at the expense of others.

The question was asked and answered more than adequately on the very first few posts of folks attempting to be helpful.
