If you’re going to place a big McDonald’s order, the manager might have to get involved.
In a viral TikTok video, an employee of the fast food franchise claims that orders amounting to $50 or more must be cleared by the boss who must verify the purchase.
The Big Mac slinger, who goes by @kaalen4 on the social media app, didn’t disclose the location of the McDonald’s where they work, but said the manager must enter their unique code and approve the transaction.
It’s unclear if this is a universal rule at all McDonald’s locations, but commenters on the video — which has amassed 2.2 million views — have noted that they’ve had it happen to them as well.
“They had to turn this off at my store because the customers almost always have orders over $50,” another employee at the Golden Arches asserted.
“I would just memorize all the manager’s pins because I would get tired of this,” another admitted.
One person who purportedly works at another McDonald’s said that the limit is lower at their specific store.
“It’s $25 at my store and my God, I could cry every time this happens,” they said.
Meanwhile, customers were baffled by the revelation, with many noting that it’s not that hard to hit $50.
“The way $50 isn’t even that much food at most fast food places now,” one said.
“No cuz $50 is like three Big Mac meals now,” a second sassily stated, accompanied by an eye-roll emoji.
“As a family of six we always spend this much,” another declared beneath the TikTok clip. “I had no idea this was a thing.”
