:Have any of you people actually worked in McDonald's before?

Yep, I have - twice as long as you!

:It's not a slave house, yeah in is hard work, but it's a lot of fun as well.

Depends on your definition of the word "fun" doesnÆt it. If your idea of fun is to be abused or abuse others for removing the burgers a few second later than what that timer dictates, sending the crew members on "trash walk" or to clean toilets in order to put them in their place and stop them complaining, working in ankle-deep raw sewage etc etc. Then yes working at McD is fun.

One way to have real fun at McD is to watch customers eating stale burgers, watered-down shake and drinks, triple-brewed coffee etc. without realising or complaining. They must have developed a taste for bad quality product. Watching and knowing all is going on behind the back of the customers gives the staff a sense of "got-my-own-back" and therefore fun. So my advice to customers: Always order specially made food and watch closely while itÆs being cooked and never buy drinks or shakes etc because it can be watered down, almost certainly (Sorry McD crew for spoiling your fun!).

:Think about everything maccas do for the community.

Hmmmm, let me think now, covering the streets with litter, creating additional traffic, encouraging bad diet or perhaps brainwashing our children into a synthetic culture, do I need to go on? I think not.

:There's a saying at my store, If you can survive the first 4 months, you'll be here forever.

Is that so? Is that why the labour turnover @ McD is one of the highest in the world? By the way, I left after a couple of years!

:Don't slagg us off until you know all the facts and you've actually experienced it yourself.

Did you say us? So itÆs only one year and you are already a company person. This is the power of brainwashing!

:If you have, think about why you hate it. Is it McDonald's, or is it you.

Yep, thought about it and can tell you for sure it is McDonaldÆs and not me!
