even without our microphones, we can hear you well.

Even when the microphones are turned off, a now-deleted popular TikTok video claimed that a McDonald's in New Zealand could hear "anything you're saying"

It was pulled down after it had been seen more than 274,000 times by TikToker @charlton.a. Employee claimed to be able to hear "everything" in client vehicles, according to the New Zealand Herald. He also stated that everyone in the drive-thru line were photographed.

According to the New Zealand Herald, he captioned the photo, "We can hear everything you're saying even when our mics are off." "Our cameras capture mugshots of you so we know which order belongs to you."

In the comments section, the TikToker said that McDonald's employees could hear "quite a bit" and could "certainly hear all the people in the car."

His accusations coincide with those made in a prior viral TikTok by a McDonald's employee in England, @user72664929774.

@user72664929774 said in the overlay text that "people don't aware we can hear your convos even when we aren't speaking to you processing your order." You will be photographed by the speaker's camera, so we will always know who placed the request.

There were a lot of queries about McDonald's in the comments area of the video. In the top remark, someone posed the question: "How can you hear our convos when you hardly hear the order?"

Those who weren't startled asked: "But seriously...how could y'all not see the camera on the speaker? " It's blindingly apparent, to say the least. It never occurred to me until now that they could be able to hear me talk the entire time I was at the loudspeaker. For the first time," they said.

While @charlton.a looks to be floundering, @user72664929774 appears to be doing just well, even after her video became viral.
