Oh Man, why did you have to mention that! I went to Point Loma and I lived at those Taco Stands
I’m a teacher. No way I would eat any place I saw one of my students.
If the problem is an increased focus on school programs and academics, then McDonalds need to do something to make a job there look good on a college application. High school sports and after school clubs look much better to admissions than a job at McDonalds right now. The college bound kids are exactly what McDonalds would love to have for employees as well.
Of course, my first real job was a research assistant at the Naval Postgraduate School (at 16 years old). So I know I’m an exception.
I worked a Dairy Queen. We would swap hamburgers for chicken from KFC. When you work at one of those places all the food begins to taste alike.
Windoze media player is driving me nuts. I'm trying to burn a CD with several albums on it that I want to listen to in order. I put them in order in the burn window, and windoze automatically re orders them.
10, 11, 12, 13 etc, OBVIOUSLY belong before 1, and duh! I OBVIOUSLY wanted albums 20-29 to play before album 2, and CLEARLY I am an idiot for not putting them in that sequence.
But that's OK, windoze will AUTOMATICALLY burn them in the order I'm too stoooooopid to place them in myself.
MMMM, In-n-Out Burger, I always go there when I go out west. It’s been almost two years now but I’ve had an InOB more recently than McD’s(I don’t go there anymore). The place was swarming with friendly kids cooking burgers and fries, taking orders, cleaning up the place, etc., an incredible business. When I went to the McD’s in my area there were certain, ahem, demographically different people than me, that were not particularlly friendly, polite or courteous in spite of me always being so to them, it was obvious that they didn’t appreciate my business so I don’t give it to them any longer. They also started TV advertising to the gangsta rap and hip hop bangers. Forget that place.
Read a complaint in the paper the other day about how one has to be bilingual to apply at some fast food restaurants.
Professor Snape? Is that you?
It's a "problem" for McDonald's.
It's Capitalism for everyone else. Quit complaining, Ronald!
They're just angry they can't hire illegals anymore.
I heard a while back that the average McD's franchise owner made about $100,000 to $150,000 per year. Not alot when you consider the time and money invested.
If a McD's is open 24 hours a day, with lets say 4 people on at all times that would be 35,000 man hours.
How much of a raise do you think they should pay?
If you dropped $1 million for the franchise, and property, and building, what type of return on your investment would expect?
How many hours a week would you work to protect your investment?
What type of return would you expect on your time?
>>The real solution is robotics technology
There is no doubt to me that the illegal immigrant invasion has substantially suppressed the introduction of automation technologies in all areas of our economy.
I teach at an inner cities school in Dallas. Any questions?
May I suggest the obvious: increase wages.
At least their parents never have to worry about those kids drowning in an open swimming pool. They’d be like buoys — all those kids would have to do would be to flip on their backs and they’d safely float until help arrived!
Just one.
WHY?
I knew a family that owned and operated about a dozen McDonald’s. They were definitely multi-millionaires, but I doubt over 8-figures.
Then I knew a girl who managed a Papa Gino’s (just one). She wasn’t doing so great, kind of poor.
Chronic Stupidity!!
my 15 yr old is just waiting to turn 16 so he can go out and get a job.
