McDonald's management training is some of the best in any industry. A skill easily transferable to bigger things. Good luck.

That's all right. Blake will be telling his grand kids he remembers working in MickyD's when his happy meal wasn't $15 and it still had a real toy in it.....
I wonder what happy meals will contain then. Cheap video games? Bubble gum to skimp on costs?

Boy have times changed
LOL I figured you were a tad older than me, and I remember it being $0.85-0.95 while I was in high school, at times. I'm 37 right now.

I did ten years in management between Burger King and Pizza Hut. I hated every minute of it. But if I could just cook, it would be great. I hated dealing with hateful customers.

Maybe I can put in a special request to dress up as ronald mcdonald. However, coming in at 5'6, I may be a little short for the job. What makes a clown scarier still? Make Him a short clown!

First day tomorrow.
Before this job is over, I'll try to snag a photograph or two of me in uniform.
Maybe it'll even become my avatar.
