     1        that page, the first big column?
     2        A.  Yes.
     3
     4   Q.   Did says "Clock off.  Fetch dinner, coffee cheeseburger.
     5        No I am not allowed any real orange juice.  Write what you
     6        take on your clock card", is that correct, that?
     7        A.  I have no idea, I was not there.
     8
     9   Q.   No, but is that a company policy that workers are not
    10        allowed fresh orange juice as part of their meal allowance?
    11        A.  Not that I know of.
    12
    13   Q.   Do you actually know whether or not?  You just do not what
    14        the situation is?
    15        A.  We have already spoken about this.  The general rule is
    16        take what you eat, eat what you take.  Some managers may
    17        have a ruling regarding orange juice, others may not.  I do
    18        not know.
    19
    20   Q.   I mean at that time, for example, in the children's happy
    21        meals children were not allowed to have fresh orange juice
    22        as part of their -----
    23        A.  I do not know.
    24
    25   Q.   You do not know about that either?
    26        A.  No.
    27
    28   Q.   In the second column, under 11 p.m. it says "Seven out of
    29        ten starters leave within a month  and I am happy to be one
    30        of them."   Is that correct, that at that time in 1988
    31        seven out of ten starters at McDonald's were leaving within
    32        a month?
    33        A.  I would not accept that.
    34
    35   Q.   Do you actually know whether or not it is correct?
    36        A.  I would not accept it.
    37
    38   Q.   How are you in a position to say you do not accept that?
    39        A.  Because the turnover rate would be high.
    40
    41   Q.   Well, not if the other three out of every ten was staying
    42        on for two years, or something like that?
    43        A.  I would have thought that this was a matter which would
    44        have been brought up by the crew people in their rap
    45        sessions or their crew meetings, and I certainly have no
    46        knowledge of it.
    47
    48   Q.   Well, there might be a rap session within the time that an
    49        employee was there if they left within a month?
    50        A.  No, I almost certainly would have heard about this had 
    51        it been so, from Restaurant Managers, from Field Personnel 
    52        Officers from supervisors.  This would be a real 
    53        difficulty.
    54
    55   MR. MORRIS:  Just a couple more questions on the subject of
    56        pay.  Are you aware what the average pay in industry is in
    57        this country?
    58        A.  No.
    59
    60   Q.   You do not know.  Are you highly paid?
