New McDonald's Uniforms: Love It or Hate It?

April 26, 2008

Earlier this week McDonald's revealed the looks of their new British uniforms. Designed by couturier Bruce Oldfield, the uniforms — in a mocha, biscuit, and white color scheme — consist of collared shirts, baseball caps, and suits. The uniform update is part of McDonald's ongoing efforts to modernize the style and feel of the fast food experience. While I think it's an interesting idea, an ill fitting suit is never attractive and I can't imagine that the suits will be tailored to fit all 67,000 employees. How about you? What do you think of the uniforms?

I work at McDonalds as a mangager, and the uniforms are unrealistic. Whoever designed them, obviously does not know what kind of work is done in the store to get you your cheeseburger in 30 seconds. They are ugly, and don't look comfortable. I know when I deal with a customer who wants to complain because it took 2 minutes to get a dollar hamburger, I would rather not look like my grandmothers couch. And the only people who can wear suits, are supervisors and up because they don't do any labor. I give it an F, try again. Maybe try wearing them and working in them first.

while i feel like some parts of great britain have class; mcdonalds is not classy or fabulous no matter where you are. its junk and the cheapest fast food you can find. this is a false.

As a former McDonalds employee I have to say that these uniforms are step up from what I had to wear. I worked there for 2 hellish years (it was my first job and no you won't be seeing me in one of those "Mcdonalds was my first job, it taught me so much" commercials.) The uniforms were horible, plus I'm 5'10 and the uniform pants did not come in long sizes, it was a disaster. LOL

i think they are great - trying to make mcd's more posh i suppose...it's a good transition. i think that everyting needs to evolve at some point in time and this is a good time for them to try the same. with the changes in the menu, we're not talking about the same fast food that was started back in the day.

Well I always thought the red uniforms with the dorky hats were stupid. BUT now..... i think they are just fine....i dunno y they are trying to look all professional.

Ties in the grill area? Really?Plus, it's just another excuse for McDonald's employees to NOT wash their uniforms. Which a lot of them hardly ever do, by the way. :D

It's a uniform what's to like. I feel badly for the teens and senior citizens that will have to wear it. Although I think the citizen senior crew at McD's will think its quite stylish and peppy.

it's blah, but it's McDonalds's so who really cares.

How dismal, they're probably expressing their sorrow for the poor cows/hamburgers.

I'm not a fan, but at least the dark colors won't show spills. You have to consider that 50% of the employees are teenagers and they aren't going to keep up a nice uniform even if it's given to them.
