Friends experience

I refuse to work in any fast food chain, especially McD after a
friend of mine told me his horrible experience.

At the beginning of the week he was put incharge of the fries.
Being his first job he agreed. Little did he know what was in store
for him. His arms where full of burns where the boiling oil had
landed on his skin. Of course he complained. Because of this he
was promoted to garbage sorter. This consisted of going through
all the trash cans and sorting out all the rubbish that was to be
recycled and that that wasn't. Just to be MORE hygenic he was not
allowed to wear gloves, thus exposing himself to all types of diseases

Luckly my friend was not desperate for the money, so he quit the
job after just one week of slavery. However some of his co-workers
did need the money and had to stay on, even though they where being
payed under the minimum wages for that country, Germany. The only
possible reason, considering McD is a multi national, is that most
of the workers in that chain were imigrants that where not able
to defend themselves.

The only good thing that came from my friends experince in McD was
that his story could be passed on to as many people as possible,
and so reducing a bit of McD powerful situation in controling the
world's capital
