I remember when I graduated from Tech school in 1983 and one of my classmates was leaving his job at McDonalds and offered to “get you in” to a couple of us. Times were really bad in Pittsburgh at that time and the offer was not taken lightly.

When I first went to work for McD in the mid 70’s it was actually fun, you worked hard but we had over a hundred hourly employees on the schedule, then came the laugh if you will, burger wars and waves of minimum wage increases. When I left in 98 I had a total of maybe forty hourly employees in the same store trying to keep the same high standards as in 1976. It’s just not possible as I see in almost ever Mcd’s I visit, rarely, the norm is now something I would have lost my job for.
