Irish in McDonalds

Highsider · 06-03-2009 11:00PM #1

Anyone notice the amount of Irish working in McDonalds recently compared to a few years back. Have to say from a personal standpoint i think it's bloody great. Was out the other night and stopped off on the way home and a couple of girls in the line in front of me where taking the piss out of some fella (sounded like he was Dublin 4 roight) behind the counter. Jesus i nearly felt sorry for the lad as they where making his life hell. Anyone know what these poor feckers get paid? Can't be much more than the dole me thinks. Question is if you had no choice would you do it?

If I was looking for a job I'd take it no problem. The minimum wage is good enough, even now.

i'd work there not a bother....

How much pride do you reckon you'd have if you were on the dole?

They're a decent employer in Ireland.
There are far, far worse places to work for that wage.

The craft bit is being able to recover enough to smash them over and over again.:P

you don't have to flip burgers, you could work on the tills, do some cleaning, maybe manage the place...

jaffa20 · 06-03-2009 11:47PM

Work in Mc Donalds, i'd rather beg.

Animo · 06-03-2009 11:47PM

Of course I'd work there! You get free lunch! YUM!

You don't know the value of a euro until you have worked in one of these places.
Good honest work never killed anyone.

I had a job in McDonalds over 20 years ago, the best bit about it was the free food

thethedev · 07-03-2009 12:19AM

I applied there and got nothing.
Aparently I'm in competition with people with degrees in catering etc.
My brother worked there a while back and reckons theres nothing like the **** the workers put up with from customers and managers

and after a year , you get a free heart attack

I wouldn't mind working there, but I don't know if I could take the abuse. They'd be getting a dose of McJonty sauce on their burgers whether they liked it or not

I've got a wife and 2 kids - if I lost my job tomorrow I'd have no problem with it.

McDonalds..... Do you want a career with that?

:D

Was trying to think of the line from that fooking ad for about 10mins.

biddy21 · 07-03-2009 12:55AM

its a wage for a weeks work, would u rather beg than that? No wonder the foreigners had the jobs!!!!!!!

Teutorix · 07-03-2009 01:00AM

McDonalds allways pay just above minimum wage

li@mo · 07-03-2009 01:15AM

Why oh why do the but gherkins in their burgers?

I think Ireland is changing rapidly.

5 years ago if you were on the dole you were a waster.
If you worked in McDonalds you were foreign
If you were a bank executive you were plotting the greatest downfall of a nations economy in history bar Iceland.

Now its becoming more acceptable and rightly so.

Whosbetter? · 07-03-2009 01:30AM

Well, I left college in '89.

The Boat Train was your only option then.
Did all kinds of dangerous/sh1tty jobs that nobody else wanted to do,

I'm 40 now, married, mortgaed, kids etc . & still (luckily) working.

I spose you could be doing worse things. Though, I know, I couldn't hack it.
NO WAY!

I'd easily prefer to work in a coalmine in Bosnia.

But that's just me;)
