    Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.

    If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask “wtf is this” and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can’t live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.

      But that wasn’t even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can’t believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald’s.

        This mcdonald’s was not owned by mcdonald’s. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there

            That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.

            Good. Fuck 'em.

              “McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”

            You may very well be correct, but do you not think this person thinks (I hate putting the two following words next to each other) president trump will protect him? Of course the incontinent orangutan doesn’t give a flying 🦆 if people who lick his 🍑 gets in trouble on his behalf

      It was supposedly 15m, but I think that may be an exaggeration just like every thing else this broke ass sob I bragging about

      They also closed the whole restaurant so that only Republicans that were screened first could come to the restaurant.

      He took orders (I don’t know if it was plural) in the drive through. The people filmed, and asked him to raise the minimum wage, but you know how he answers questions when hes on his adhd meds.

      It was a glorified photoshoot, I wonder if it cost extra money to be allowed the privilege to attend and maybe have his dandruff in your fries

      There’s a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO’s put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.

        Undercover Boss, and it’s the most Corpoproganda thing you’ve ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for “Not knowing what it means to struggle”

        The boss proved it by firing him. Didn’t offer him drug consueling, didn’t pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.

        Complete clown show.
