    This makes me think of the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter, washed some already clean dishes, and left without saying a word to anyone.

    No seriously. This happened and it was weird as shit.

    Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.

    If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask “wtf is this” and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can’t live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.

        This mcdonald’s was not owned by mcdonald’s. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there

      It was supposedly 15m, but I think that may be an exaggeration just like every thing else this broke ass sob I bragging about

      They also closed the whole restaurant so that only Republicans that were screened first could come to the restaurant.

      He took orders (I don’t know if it was plural) in the drive through. The people filmed, and asked him to raise the minimum wage, but you know how he answers questions when hes on his adhd meds.

      It was a glorified photoshoot, I wonder if it cost extra money to be allowed the privilege to attend and maybe have his dandruff in your fries

      There’s a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO’s put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.

        Undercover Boss, and it’s the most Corpoproganda thing you’ve ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for “Not knowing what it means to struggle”

        The boss proved it by firing him. Didn’t offer him drug consueling, didn’t pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.

        Complete clown show.

    Opinion: The race isn’t actually close, Harris has basically already won, but they’re cooking the books for ratings.

    Edit: Not sure why I’m being downvoted. I’m not saying the election is fixed or that you shouldn’t vote, for the love of God don’t repeat the mistake douchebags who thought “Hillary’s gonna win, so I won’t vote” made but… I figured her victory was a foregone conclusion.

      It was a closed restaurant? So that’s why.

      I was wondering why McD HQ hadn’t thrown a fit when AgentOrange got to serve actual people actual food in an actual McDonald’s. I mean the rumors about his personal hygiene would indicate that the restaurant didn’t live up to the McDonald’s hygienic standards.

      You can say what you want about their food, but the hygiene at McDonald’s is impeccable 9.9 times out of 10. So having an unwashed civilian, without training, serving innocent civilians just seemed strange.

        I was thinking this same thing. Having worked there in high school they took hygiene and food cleanliness as possibly the most important thing. When you can back from the bathroom it was standard practice to ask someone if they washed their hands, and multiple people would ask.

        People in the drive thru mad about food delay? Doesn’t matter, it MUST be cooked to temperature. Forgot to shave? Here is the little shave kit, please go shave in the bathroom. No one was rude about it, people sometimes forget.

        One of the only ways to get a paid day off was coming into work and having stomach pain. Immediately sent home with pay, no questions asked.

        You know this fat piece of shit that was covered in a dirty diaper and smelled of piss did none of that. Nasty fuck. Ice cream machine is permanently closed.

      Cut out any experience that isn’t relevant and is too old.

      That being said, I did hire someone for a tech support position because he’d done five years at a McDonald’s, which meant he was used to dealing with people.

      I’ve had around 15 jobs since i was in high school, across multiple states with moves, some of them pretty brief when i found better opportunities, several in fast food, retail, and factory labor. I do not list any of them on my resume as a data engineer.

      Nobody cares or wants to see your entire work history as a student. They want to see your professional work experience that is relevant to your desired roles. Hell I have even made multiple versions of my resume with different jobs listed or delisted depending on the field I was applying for.

      But on none of them do i put that in worked at Burger King at 16 years old for 4 months, nor the better paying job I got at a Steak n Shake as a server where I worked until I left for college. I don’t list my shitty campus dining court dishwasher job, or my Sam’s Club Cafe job I had at College either. Now I have listed my programmer internship from this time though, even though I don’t list the seasonal Gamestop job and the chicken processing jobs i had afterwards, because programming is relevant… chicken cutting is not. Just because there are gaps doesn’t mean I wasn’t working. I was far too broke not to.

      It is common to omit short-term or less relevant experience from a résumé and to prioritize including jobs that are longer-term or more field specific to what you are applying for. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If McDonald’s corporate was not directly involved with this stunt, perhaps they’ll clarify if Harris did indeed work for them in order to lessen the negative perception of Trump using their franchise.

      Your pre-career jobs become less and less relevant as you get more experience. Once your career experience is sufficient for the jobs you are applying for all those pre-career jobs do is take up precious space on your resume and distract from the skills that actually set you apart from other job candidates.

      I stopped putting McDonald’s on my resume as soon as I stopped being a “college new hire”.

      Leaving it in would be like having your university GPA and fraternity / sorority house. That’s stuff you put in because you just graduated and have no experience in the workforce. It would look extremely amateurish and hurt your ability to get a job at a law firm. Not a lawyer, just know what you don’t put in a resume.

      No, it’s not uncommon. You trim a good resume down for the most relevant experience. You could maybe leave it on for the teamwork aspect, but she’s probably had better examples since then. I’d bet $5 her first legal aid or whatever resume mentioned it, but not as it’s own line item.

      It is totally common to drop jobs from your C.V (or resumé I guess), many people, me included, put together a special CV when a job is particularly interesting. Mostly choosing which old job gets more description and which gets less, and which old job doesn’t get on the list.

      I wouldn’t add a fast food job I needed to go through school if I applied for a high level job either.
