I remember this older maintenance gentleman we had. He would get so mad at the teenagers who threw garbage in the parking lot. One time I remember him going outside and throwing it back in their car! This was back in 1972. Never get away with that now. I was proud to work there, too!
When I worked there back in the 1970s, McDonalds was one of the most popular jobs among high school students. Working at McDonalds was a status symbol, and the competition to get hired was intense.
My first real job too, back in 81. Worked there while in HS, lots of fun, lots of girls, and easy work. Very easy to be successful there with the effort. I could rock that multi-mixer at lunch rush!
Been working in the tech manufacturing industry after a stint in the Navy since then, but have always been able to work there as a second job when monetary circumstances dictated (always around the birth of a new kid). If you show up on time and do your job, they always want to make you a manager. The kids that work there these days are for the most part worthless.
