Default Have you ever worked at McDonald's?

Statistics show that 1 in 8 Americans have worked at Mc Donald's. Are you one?

Well are you?

Good pole.

No, I've never worked at McDonald's.

Weird.

They also show that 1 in 8 Americans has taken Ozempic or another GLP.

Sort of.
I provided legal counsel to the Hamburglar when he was charged with grand larceny in 1987. He was acquitted, although I was ultimately paid in hamburgers which I now realize may have been stolen.

Worked plenty of retail but never fast food. McDonalds also sucks, should open it up for being able to vote for more than 1 option.

I’m the only one huh. 1991 was a wild and crazy year on those fryers. It was my first window into the absolute insanity of dealing with high maintenance customers.

Working at McDonald's is currently trending, hence the rare nighttime poll as the OP looks to capture the zeitgeist.

This poll would have fit in perfectly around here stopping at the fourth word of the question.

Never worked at a McDonalds but my first job was a bus boy at a regional buffet similar to a Golden Corral. I thought I'd be hungry and want to eat all the time.

I was not.

No. I did work at a local pizza place in high school and early college. I have some insane stories about working there. Wild times in the early 90s.

No clue why anyone would work fast food other than high school kids. You’ve basically given up on life at that point.

1st official job flipping burgers and making fries. $3.15/hr min wage. Had to start somewhere, I guess. At least the food was 1/2 off.

Why work at McDonald's when you can allegedly make $32.50 minimum wage driving Uber/Lyft in MA?

Why work at McDonalds when you can sit on your arse for 12 weeks on the taxpayer's dime in MA?
