Is working at McDs something you would do?

I've got a book - the hundred worst jobs. That one is probably the worst.

Go to the animal.
Manually manipulate the animal.
For a while.
Then hot fresh genetic material shoots out of the animal and hopefully into the jar you're holding.

Lovely jubley...

I wonder if Rebecca Loos read that book prior to her little stint with the pig on tv - maybe she's a very quick learner, or has had lots of practice. Replies on a postcard please...

right this is my little take on working in mc d's

I was at college i couldnt sit at home and allow my mum to sink into debt so i went to work for a high street catalogue shop... now i left them to move to college however many factors meant i had to return. Said shop took me back until i was made redundant ~ yes @ 19 so i gave it a month then i had to go on jsa (i was in debt) i swore the day i was told about jsa i would never go on it, i am not proud of the fact i was on it but thats life... While on jsa i applyed for everything you name it i applied for it. I even applied for jobs where i would take home less than £50 per week because of travel expences ~ anything to get of jsa.

Anyways i got offered a job where i am now ~ it was great till new management came in and as the saying goes ~ the grass is always greener ~ and i was pushed into catering. Now i am not putting down catering however, i hate my job i could easilly leave now and never come back ~ i wont it pays my bills and i have some kind of wage. But i am back to applying for anything. I will say i will never go back to catering if there was something else out there ~ however if that was all there was and i have no choice of course i would work in mc d's.

I think this chap give unemployed a bad name ~ sad really as most people who are unemployed want jobs.

ZTD a mate of mine went to school with a couple of lads who got jobs emtying sanitary bins in nursing homes and similar place....they didn't last very long :rotfl:it sounded pretty grim!

Meh, that's nothing, when I was really skint I took a job in a nursing home that entailed changing all the pads that go in those bins... and cleaning up every kind of bodily mess you can imagine. All for minimum wage, and in the evenings too. If I could have gotten the same hours in McD's I would have taken it like a shot!!

Given the stories about people's OHs on here - it seems a lot of people have intimate relations with pigs...

some people just don't want to work!!!
It annoys me my dad was made redundant and he applied to all sorts of places to get himself work, he is 59 and sort of classed as "too old" to be employed! he hated baing on the dole and was desperate to get a job, then the blow came that 6 months after being on the dole he was no longer entitled to any money from them!! He has always been in work since the age of 14 and had never claimed a penny from the social, the had paid into it his whole life!!!

He couldn't even get any retraining or anything! his industry was being phased out and he was really frustrated!! I think he would have jumped at the chance of employment with mc'd's.......

Luckierly he went for an interview as a carer ( going to elderly and disabled people homes and helping them cook, shop etc) he had no experience or anything but they have given him full training put him on alsorts of courses and he is now out on the road shadowing people, and is nearly qualified to go out on his own!!!!

It's a shame some of the teens of today don't ahve the same get up and go!! I would imagine £5 or whatever it is an hour would be better than the £50 ood quid a fortnight on dole!!!

I agree with you, nothing wrong with mc'd's and a wage is a wage at the end of the day and it beats benefits

bathgatebuyer what happened to the woman? She does keep getting reported but unfortunately so far it's done no good at all :mad:.

She ended up doing a runner from the place with her scummy boyfriend when her Benefits were cut. If you give the Benefits Fraud people enough factual information - dates, times, descriptions, etc - they do investigate. I was able to give them fairly specific info about the hours she worked, who she worked for, that her scummy boyfriend lived with her, that it was never declared for Council Tax or other benefits, that the name she was using for a variety of different credit frauds was that of a recently deceased elderly person (which must be about the sickest thing imagineable).......................Feel absolutely no regrets in giving that info over. After all, there are a lot of people much worse off than they were (they had a car, a 3 week foreign holiday in the Summer, etc, etc), yet who make sacrifices to get by staying on the right side of the law. Tweedledum and Tweedledee deserved all they got.

They seemed to think that the state owes them a living while everyone else has to struggle by. Too many people have that sort of attitude and it's a kick in the teeth for everyone else who works damn hard just to get by honestly.

What a crappy attitude from your other halfs brother and his Mum. I'm sorry but if needs must I would work most places. McD's would be far down my list but not because I am too good for it but more that I have ethical issues with it. I would happily work in a supermarket or a small local takeaway place though, particularly the supermarket as the staff discount on food would be particularly useful and make up for any lower salary that I had to take.

Doesn't he actually want a job? Is he actively looking?

I don't think he really does, he's had so many chances it's ridiculous.

As I was leaving my boyfriends today I overheard his mum on the phone telling someone about his brother quitting his most recent job (packing in the chocloate factory doing 12 hour shifts). She was saying "12 hour shifts it's a long time, you wouldn't be able to do 12 hours 5 days a week".
I wanted to go in there and scream at her that I used to do 12 hours shifts packing because I needed the bloody money! My normal days were 8 hours but we got offered overtime a lot and I always jumped at the chance, yes it was tiring but it was money.
