For the most part, we don't think too much about getting a receipt for our fast food purchases. If we're ordering a Big Mac and fries at McDonald's, we probably have a good idea of how much we're paying, so we won't need to save proof of purchase. However, one McDonald's employee has talked about why you should always ask for a receipt, even if you won't need it after you leave the restaurant. It makes sense when they explain the reasoning for it, so let's take a look at why you should always ask for a receipt, according to a McDonald's worker.

00:00There's a good chance you never even glance at your McDonald's receipt after the cashier
00:04hands it to you, but you should still ask for one every single time you place an order,
00:08according to one McDonald's employee.
00:10Cameron Adnan, a Quora poster who claimed to have been employed by the Golden Arches
00:14in London for over a year, said asking for a receipt is a surefire way to alert your
00:18cashier that you may be a secret shopper, therefore ensuring you're treated like royalty
00:23for the entirety of your visit.
00:24He said,
00:25It is easy to spot a gap buster because they always ask for a receipt, adding that secret
00:29shoppers usually ask for proof of payment so they can be reimbursed for their meal by
00:33their employers.
00:34Considering most customers aren't concerned with documenting their Big Mac purchases,
00:38it does make sense.
00:39According to Adnan, it works especially well if you visit the restaurant during peak hours.
00:44He explained,
00:55This then goes to the overall store rating, and every store manager will do everything
00:59to ensure this rating is as positive as possible.
01:02That's pretty helpful information, especially since those are also the times you can usually
01:06count on the longest wait for your food, and sometimes the sloppiest sandwich.
01:10So what exactly do you get when McDonald's employees think you're working undercover?
01:15According to Adnan, you'll get fresh food, hot fries, and priority over other customers.
01:19That's one way to make sure you get the most out of your lunch hour, even if doing it makes
01:23you feel like a hamburglar.
01:24The hamburglar is very clever, and very sneaky.
