Video Shows What Happens When All The Staff At A McDonald's Quit

By now, you've likely heard about a rising trend among fast food employees to quit after their long-standing grievances boiled over with the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But whether they were tired of their wages, their customers, or the conditions they work in, it's becoming less of an unusual sight to see a sign on a drive-thru order box informing customers that that there aren't any staff to serve them.

But even with that being the case, we haven't had much of an opportunity to catch a glimpse inside a location that's experienced one of these mass walkouts.

Well, that changes today because somebody has managed to capture the aftermath of that very event on video.

On June 28, TikTok user @zoey.isback happened to find herself inside of a McDonald's that suddenly had no employees in it.

Although she wasn't able to capture the walkout itself, everyone was clearly gone by the time she filmed this note written on a sandwich wrapper declaring that everyone has quit.

The clip is accompanied with the caption, "Well that happened today and it was so funny" and features Zoey walking around the empty restaurant.

And that manages to be the most surreal part of the clip since unless you've had to renovate a McDonald's or open one, it's unlikely that you've seen one with absolutely nobody inside of it.

But while it was unexpected to see all of this happen at once, Zoey didn't seem terribly surprised that the workers would get fed up.

As she said in the comments of her TikTok, "The store was ran by teenagers and it was a terrible work space."

And while the video is quick and Zoey's constant motion makes it hard to make out what's happening at times, we can spot some of the employees involved standing outside and presumably waiting for rides towards the end.

The full video is available here and despite how it looks, a follow-up that Zoey posted shows that the employees didn't just leave the restaurant unlocked as it may seem they did.

Still, it's certainly a chaotic event to find yourself caught in the middle of.
