-I wrote this, cause I know the role of Mac is played by John Carroll Lynch, and I find Lynch irresistible. And my story takes place in present time.-
Mac actually awakens in bed and holding onto a pillow. He gets up out of bed and covers himself with a robe.
Mac: Damn, I need some coffee.
Mac says to himself, as he still seems tired and around his apartment. He goes into the kitchen and starts a pot of coffee. While the coffee is brewing, he takes a whiff of his left armpit.
Mac: Damn, I need a shower.
He then hears a knock on the back door, so he opens the door to see his brother, Dick, at the door.
Mac: Why are you here this early? I haven't had my coffee yet.
Dick: Why ain't you dressed for work?
Mac: I just got up.
Dick: Well, Ray wants us at McDonald's, as we speak. Something about an employee meeting.
Mac: What's the meeting about?
Dick: Well, get dressed and tell me all about it.
Mac: Okay.
Mac lets his brother into his apartment, as he goes back towards his bedroom, to put on a pair of blue jeans, black shoes and a light yellow dress shirt. Mac looks in the mirror, and fixes his dark red tie, before excusing himself to attend to his awaiting brother. He goes back to the dining room where Dick is waiting.
Mac: How do I look?
Dick: Very professional. Let's go to work.
The McDonald brothers, arrive at their McDonald's in Atlanta, and both walk into the store at the same time. As they both walk towards the back, Mac spots someone unfamiliar. A young girl, with short red hair, and possibly new.
In the back, Mac brings up the new girl.
Mac: What's her name?
Dick: Who are you talking about?
Mac: The cashier up front. When was she hired?
Dick: That's Ray's daughter, Kimberly. Why?
Mac: I thought I'd remember, all the employees, that we hire.
Dick: Well, Ray hired her yesterday.
Mac: Who's training her on the register?
Dick: Well, you are. Surprise!
Mac: Surprise? I'm confused. What's this employee meeting about?
Dick: Ray will come in, with his daughter, and tell you that you are training her. That, and other stuff, regarding inventory and management stuff.
Mac: Where is Ray?
Dick: In a few minutes.
That's when Ray Kroc shows up, in the back, with his shy daughter standing along side him.
Ray: I hope you two haven't waiting long.
Mac: Of course not.
Ray: Well, before we discuss the major stuff, I like to introduce my daughter, Kimberly Kroc. I hired her as a cashier, and she will need to be trained, Mac McDonald.
Ray points out, looking over to Mac.
Mac: No problem.
Dick: Anything else?
Ray: Yeah, Richard. I need you to watch the store, while I handle the deposits and count inventory as a couple of employees help me unload the truck. Neither of you shouldn't be standing around.
Dick: Don't you trust us by now?
Ray: Just being cautious, now get to work.
Ray looks over to his daughter.
Ray: Sweetie, you follow Mac up to the front. He'll show you how to run the register, call out and repeat orders and get drinks.
Kim: Sure, dad.
Upfront, and by the register, Mac talks to the new cashier, two minutes before opening. He notices that she looks nervous. Mac was never really good, at talking to women, so he's a little hesitant.
Mac: So, are you ready, to take some orders?
Kim: I-I'm a..nervous. I don't w-wanna mess up.
Mac: Don't worry about messing up. It's expected of a trainee.
Kim swallows hard as customers start coming in and lining up at the register. She starts off slow, even as Mac stood over her shoulder, to help her push the right buttons on the register. She reads back the orders, also makes the drinks for the customers, in between cashing out each order. Mac is impressed, cause she seems to be learning quickly.
But the moment Mac had turned his back to go check on the orders in the back, Kim messes up on an order. She didn't repeat back the order, had gotten it wrong, and cashed out on the order. The customer is frustrated with her and Mac shows up.
Mac: What's going on, here?
Woman: Well, I ordered the number five with medium fries and drink , and she charged me for a number six with a large fries and a drink.
Kim: It was an accident, Mam. I'm sorry.
Mac: Not a problem. I can fix this.
Mac fixes the order, in the register's computer, and gives correct change back to the customer, as she prepares the correct drink. After the costumer leaves, giving Kim a look, it was time for her break and she clocks out. Sitting at a booth, Mac confronts her, sitting across from her. She is looking sad.
Mac: What happened up there? I stepped away for two minutes.
Kim: I don't know. I was nervous.
Mac: You were doing pretty good, which surprised me.
Kim: I messed up. Please don't tell my dad.
Mac: It's taken care of, okay. Shit happens. Just don't let it happen all the time.
Kim: I guess, that I work better, when someone is with me.
Mac: Im training you, cause you'll have to stand on your own, eventually.
Kim: What if I need help?
Mac: There's gonna be someone around. If not me, there's my brother and your dad.
Kim: Thanks.
Kim says, as she takes a sip of her soft drink.
Mac: I didn't get a chance to look at your job application, so I have to ask. How old are you?
Before she answers, she looks into his brown eyes, then checks out his round face, bald head and his thin lips as he asked her for her age. "How old are you?" She thought, taking another sip of her soda. She wasn't gonna lie to him.
Kim: I-I'm 22. M-My dad, wanted me to get a job, after I graduated college.
Mac: Well, good to know. I'll let you enjoy your break.
Kim focused on his smile, just before he got up and she check out his ass, as he walked away. That ass, in those tight blue jeans, made her blush. She now has a crush on her boss.
It's a week later, and seven days of checking out Assistant Manager Mac, Kim decides she should step up and flirt with him. She's not sure, if it's wrong and unprofessional, cause he's her boss. They are in the back and Kim hasn't clocked in yet. At first, she is nervous. He is sitting at the desk, writing something down, and Kim is standing behind him.
Kim: Mac, can I ask you something?
Mac: Depends on the question. Is it job related?
Kim: Y-Your a big, tall, nice guy. Not sure, on where to begin, really. I like you, okay. Well, obviously. You have nice eyes. No wait, a nice smile. Wait, how old are you? Wait, is that appropriate to ask?
In between failed compliments and questions, she would face-palm in embarrassment. Mac turns around to face her, pretty much figured out, what she was trying to say.
Mac: Kimberly, just stop. I get it.
Kim: (confused) Get what?
Mac: That you like me. But it's unprofessional, for employees and managers, to date.
Kim, feeling somewhat disappointed, asks another question.
Kim: Could we go out, if I didn't work here?
Mac: And what would your dad think, if he knew you started dating someone, cause I'm 17 years older than you?
Kim: That's not fair.
Kim pout, folded her arms, and wanted to cry in front of him. Mac sees a tear running down her cheek, so he reaches up to wipe it with his hand, then leaves her hand there to caress her cheek.
Mac: Kimberly, if we start dating, we have to be careful. Well, at least for a while, so don't go bragging about it. This is very unprofessional.
Kim: Why is it unprofessional?
Mac: Other employees might think, if they knew, that you're just getting treated differently. Not because you're the boss's daughter, but because you're dating one of your boss's. For instance, if you got a raise, someone will think, that you dating me was a benefit to that.
Kim: So, is that a yes?
Mac smiles, but before he could speak, Dick walks in and sees Mac touching her faces. Dick coughs to interrupt the moment.
Dick: What's going on?
Mac: Not what it looks like, Dick.
Dick: (to Kim) Go clock in and get to work.
Kim leaves the area, leaving Mac and his brother alone.
Dick: What the heck was that?
Mac: What are you talking about?
Dick: You were touching her face and it didn't look professional. Something I need to know?
Mac: It's not what it looked like and that's all I will say.
