McDonalds.....Don't Eat the Food!

[Markcuda]

I eat their egg white delight.

I like their Country Chicken Biscuits.

Pretty sad. I know everyone is out to make money, but with billions in profit, they should at least be able to pay the young employees enough to make payments on their school loans.

No wonder I don't eat there or support them.

I rarely eat fast food, but while on Vacation in Yellowstone a few months ago, we tried their breakfast meals on the way into the park and then started eating their salads on our way back to our hotel after leaving the park. We found them to be a lot better then anything else we found in town. Next time we're on a road trip, we'll eat there again.

In all honesty, I eat there 3-4 times per week on average.
I buy a McChicken sandwich for a buck and a side salad for a buck. I cut up the chicken patty onto the salad, use half the dressing and feed the bun to the ducks at the duck pond. Add a large drink for a buck and I have a $3.21 lunch after tax!
For breakfast, I'll have a sausage McMuffin with no egg for a buck. Or a sausage burrito for a buck. Its cheap and not un-healthy if you eat only one normal sized serving. The problem with all fast food is the super-size with fries. That's too much food for a normal meal, yet people force it down. :licking:

McDonalds, like all other PART TIME JOBS is supposed to be just that... a PART TIME JOB. It's meant for high school and college students, mom's with kids in school during the day, or someone looking to supplement their income with a second job. Its not meant to be a full-time career.

Unfortunately, in many places, the only jobs are part-time minimum wage jobs. That's not the fault of the employer.
Rather than keep raising the minimum wage how about:
Stay in school.
Study hard.
Don't have babies.
Don't commit crimes, get a police record and then become unemployable.
Be an example to your children, etc....

Exactly. I worked at McD's at the age of 15, because it was the only place that would hire at 15. Got the job in addition to summer bailing hay, shoveling horse crap for my neighbor, etc. Never viewed it as a career, just a stepping stone that would later lead to college and a stint in the Army, and now back to a career of teaching..... always working hard and learning new things along the way. I am glad they gave me the job and never expected anything other than the chance to work hard and move ahead/up. Min wage jobs are there to motivate you to do better IMHO....work hard if you want all the perks in life.

Guess somehow that has changed now......

I swapped out my morning pop-tarts for Cheerios or Oat Meal. I swapped out my 9:00am donut for a banana. I swapped out my Big Mac for the McChicken and small salad. I swapped out 5-6 pops per day for 1 pop and water the rest of the day. Guess what? In 6 months my numbers are all back "in spec" for a person my age and size. Go figure? :confused3:
