I worked at McD's when I first left school. I did the induction day and the training -
sad I can still remember the cooking times for a Big mac / regular and 1/4 with cheese -
I lasted all of a three weeks - I was caught giving food to mates and charging em 5p for ketchup.
The sickest things they do that I saw were, in no paticular order;
NEVER threw away shake mix - we had loads of bags hanging in that had traces of shake mix in, once it had all run to the corner it was added to the shake machine - and guys it was not like a pint of mix it was more like a shot!
The Onions used to be shipped in from the USA and we added water to them to make em look like onions!
But the best was the pickles - these used to come in post! I have never eaten one since.
this is going back some 15 years I hope things have changed. I did learn one thing from Mcdonnalds though, process - they have it down to a fine art better then any blue chip I have worked for since -
did I spit in the food??????? Only the once when a bird asked for cheese burger with no meat, she got a grolly burger.
All in all it was not so bad in my eyes I respect anyone that works for living as apposed to claiming benefits/welfare - may a stint for the lazy people who think the world owes em living in McDonnalds will make them learn.
Oh, I also heard the fries were made from pulped potatoes, but according the book - Gridding it Out
the story of mcdonnalds their fries were stored in water butts to stop the rats getting them, they then washed out as much starch as possible to give them their unique taste.
The guy that started it all really does represent the american dream, this guy had nothing and spent 18hours a day selling vending machines before he opened his first drive through selling burgers at 5 cents or there abouts.
I read the book as no matter what we think of them now its one hell of a acheivement - BTW the squadies in Iraq (My cousin is there) wreckon if they open a Piza Hut and McDonnlads it would cheer up the locals :
Can I have a McChemmical super sized pls !
