If the people in that store are raiding that box, they need to be reported. Has your friend done anything about it?
I work there, we take the money for tips? It's a tips box, but it looks like a charity box - and when we give the change out in cents instead of dollars it provokes the customers to put some of it in the charity/tips box. That's how we're told, to supplement our pay.
It is NOT a tip box. It is there for the Ronald McDonald's Houses near the Children's Hospitals throughout the US and Canada. You ought to be ashamed! You ought to return the money you took and if I can find out where you work I will report your store to McDonald's HQ.
Supplement your pay? why can't they just pay you a proper amount of money? And they encourage deception? I always thought their business actions and conditions were questionable but this is something else. They think nothing of their staff or it seems, their customers in the pursuit of profit.

Not only are they destroying many peoples physical health but they would appear to be subverting ethics of what is "right or wrong" in their staff.

I had a friend who worked for McDonalds for awhile over a summer. She was normally so happy, but working there made even her get depressed.
Not trying to scare anybody away from a job or anything, just a friendly warning. Working for McDonalds is usually pretty terrible, but it's better than having no income. Then again, I'm sure that could be said for most fast food places.
You cannot take one experience to generalize an outcome. I was a shift manager at a McDonald's for about a year.
I thought the job was lots of fun. We had a good team that got along and we even had staff outings (movies, city wide scavenger hunts, picnics, etc...) Very few at our store disliked the experience. The only reason I left was I was moonlighting and as I was military was posted to a more remote, McDonald's-less area.
Conversely, My best friend was a full time manager at the Burger King across the street. He haaated his job.

Hold up, Hold up!! It's not my problem, i'm doing what my manger has told me - and as far as I know that's how all the McDonalds restaurants work in Chicago, Illinois - we've been told that it's a bonus that the tip boxes "look like" the charity boxes as we get more tips that way. All the money gets divided out at the end of shift equally to everyone who worked shifts that day in their pay packet.edit on 4-4-2011 by palg1 because: (no reason given)

Well maybe we're talking about different boxes here? We have a tips box that is supposed to look like the charity box - so we're not stealing at all. It's just a tips box that looks like that Ronald McDonald thing. (That I have never been told about.)
You ought to be ashamed! You ought to return the money you took and if I can find out where you work I will report your store to McDonald's HQ.
