Thankyou I already have a very satisfying life and part of that life is the right to "slag off" at a few things. Come on you MUST slag off at something.
> It's not a slave house, yeah in is hard work, but it's alot of fun as well.

I've known quite a few people who have worked for McD. Many of them were only there to get through uni but some of them had "the right attitude" and made their carreers there. Helps if you're a "yes man" if you catch my drift.

Yeah they collect monies for charity and then claim it all back as a tax dodge. Thats a pretty sleazy way to gain public support.
> The standards of McDonald's and and the training is second to none.
So you know what your rights and responsibilities are and what your employers responsiblities are with regard to work place health and safety. You know all there is to know about food preparation and food hygeine. I wonder how much your manager knows about these things. Does he/she understand anything about food microbiology.

I can imagine the sort of information that would be contained in a "Mac Pack". Alot of positive information (propaganda). Why don't you try reading someother indepentent material like some text books and maybe educate yourself. I don't think your manager would like that.

Well that sounds a bit like a sentence to me.
None.
