1 Q. So can we say that, effectively, you were Store Manager of
2 the Year, Supervisor of the Year and you were Supervisor of
3 a store which, because of your influence, became Store of
4 the Year?
5 A. Yes, and you can also add on I was President Award
6 Winner the following year. So I had a bit of a run on
7 then, so to speak.
8
9 MR. JUSTICE BELL: That was your purple patch, was it?
10 A. I was doing quite nicely then.
11
12 MR. MORRIS: Maybe I will just ask you some background
13 information. You wanted to finish at four, I believe?
14
15 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I do not want to finish at four but, since it
16 is Friday, I do not see why we should not finish a bit
17 earlier than normal. What I suggest is you go on for about
18 five or 10 minutes and then stop at a moment which is
19 convenient to you and Ms. Steel. Then I would like you to
20 give me the best indication you can of how long you think
21 you will be with Mr. Stanton.
22
23 MR. MORRIS: (To the witness) You started work for McDonald's
24 right after you finished college?
25 A. Yes.
26
27 Q. Full-time?
28 A. Yes.
29
30 Q. Had you ever worked full-time before that?
31 A. No.
32
33 Q. In a shop?
34 A. No, McDonald's was my first job.
35
36 Q. You have worked at McDonald's continuously from that time?
37 A. Yes, I have.
38
39 Q. You said you started off as hourly paid and became trainee
40 Manager after about three months?
41 A. Yes.
42
43 Q. When you were hourly paid were you, for all that time, a
44 natural crew person, lowest level crew person or were you
45 Floor Manager at some stage?
46 A. No, no. I started off, to use your terms, a lowest
47 level as a crew person. Cooking, preparing and serving.
48
49 Q. Did you do any job between being crew person to being
50 trainee Manager?
51 A. No, I got my, sort of, tests and proficiencies or
52 stars, as we call them, and then I became the trainee
53 Manager. So I was not a Floor Manager, or anything in
54 between.
55
56 Q. You missed out all the levels in between?
57 A. I did.
58
59 Q. Some people start as trainee Managers, do they not?
60 Especially post graduates come in as trainee Managers?
