Is it really worth working there?

To any McDonald's workers reading this,

This is a genuine query, so please take it as such. It is just
that I am interested to know whether, given the extremely hard
work and the extremely bad conditions, it is really preferable
to have a job at McDonald's than to have no job at all.

McDonald's are always on about how they create lots of jobs, but
to me it seems as though they create jobs that are not worth having.

I would prefer to be on the dole, and to do voluntary work for
organisations that I believe in, that to be exploited by McDonald's -
even if it did mean having less money.But then, I don't have kids
or other dependants to look after.

So, my question is: do you find that working at McDonald's is
better for you than not working at all?
