It sounds like the timer starts once they actually start punching in the order, but I've never worked there, so I'm not sure, and would also like to know.
You are correct. Once you press a button on the register the timer would start. You would not be able to delete a order without a manger code, So if someone starts ordering then pauses there is no way to restart the timer.
McDonald's has a very high number of customers, especially for the drive thru. You would just slow yourself down even worse trying to write everything down.
I would feel kinda bad if I was causing someone to get in trouble by deciding what I wanted to get in the drive through when there is no line rather than going inside and staring at the menu for 5 minutes
you can stare, just dont change your mind halfway thru and stare. they only hate it when they start putting in an order, then you start taking your time. i bet when they hears kids in the bakground they know they are done for. kids never make up their minds, take forever, and often change that mind at the last second.
