Who gives a shit really? You work at McDonald's your job is almost worthless, and your only contribution to society is diebtus.

It's not for someone to care about I don't. I got paid for waiting. I just thought it was interesting story.

In the most professional way, just ask for your hours (if it is honestly required by McDonalds employees to meet at a "secret" spot before opening), and possibly compensation for time loss. If it's 100% not legit in McDonald's corporation contract for you to have an early morning meeting, it's done and loss cause for you.
If it has been an on-going situation, and if you are putting in the hours and effort, possibly put in your name for the job position. If it happened this one time, ehhhhh waste of time for you.
As an owner for myself for 3 other tint shops, I just say, open up, make me money, and gtfo.
If you dont say anything, I call pussy.

Problem solved.

F.Y.I., In the near future, a big corporation like that, don't retaliate against the corporation. Show dedication and hard work. This way, your GM or their corporate officer will see, and offer you high position (without the education that other people graduate for). You will either end up as manager, branch manager, officer of purchases, etc. Business is business, but it's the consistency and dedication corp look for. You may work at McDonalds now, but who knows, you may soon work for corporate at McDonalds and make shit load of money.

Work hard man, and always strive for the best. You won't know where you end up till it's the end.

True that. Thanks for the advice.

This used to happen to me quite often when I worked at Blockbuster Video back in the day (every high schooler should've worked there - some of the best times ever!). As I recall, I didn't get any back pay for time spent sitting around, so feel fortunate. :P
