Can my Manager do this?

Posted by: homer09001

ive been working at McDonald's now for 2 years this month

int eh last year ive been working on the tills but sometimes when put under large aounts of pressure i can make mistakes as we all do.

but if i put someing wrong on an order you have to get a mamanger to "Halo" the order so you can take the wrong items off, now at sometime i can make a hell of a lot of mistakes and i agree the majority are generaly my fault, although we are told to keep the pace up and i think that a contributing factor towards my problem.

anyway my manger gets quite annoyed at me for having to need the keys so many times, he threatens to make me spend more of my shifts on the tills untill i get it right, Thats not the half of it!!!

it wasent until today that i realy started to get upset by his actions and at one point he pulled me to one side completly out of the blue and said "If you dont sort yourself out you wont be moving off till" i though ok that was a shock it was random.

then when i finished i was pulled in the office and told "your the most bone-idle and obtuse person ive ever met" that realy did upset me. I believe anouther reason i keep making so many mistakes is because of the pressure and the negativity given out by him he is realy negative towards other people aswell and barely ever positivly praises people.

Im only 18 and this is my first job ive ever had im really getting down about his attitude towards me and other collegues im wondering if hes acctualy allowed to make remarks like that to people and if not what can i do about it?

i dont want to go to any other managers at the store as i dont believe they would back me up on it and none of them were there at the time, i have though about writing a letter direct to the franchisee in a hope it will promt him into action?
