McDonald’s Kiddie Crew Workshop

When I was in college, I have friends who were service crew at McDonalds Alimall branch and Katipunan branch. Whenever I visit them, natutuwa akong panoorin sila, how they take orders, how they make my fave cheeseburger, hot fudge sundae and fries, their kagulo behind the counters. Parang ang saya. Do you notice them too? Parang laging masaya lang despite of irate customers or long lines. I tried to apply then pero laging hindi natutuloy. Now, I don't know why d ko natuloy.  Haha! 

Well, a few weeks ago, Sofi experienced that according to her is one of the best. Haha! Not only was she able to meet and have a picture with Ronald McDonald himself, but she also experienced being behind the counter, made her own cheeseburger, painted her own chef's hat and met new friends. 

Of course d ako nagpatalo sa picture op with McDo :p

Greeting customers behind the counter. 

They were given a chef's hat and apron. 

One of the highlights of her day was making her own cheeseburger. Super excited sya when she learned that they're making their own burger. 

Happy Meal for a happy kid!
