question to mcdonalds workers

Surely the question should be- why have you not got a better job?

what do you think of people who use the coupons where you can get a meal for £1.99. are you embarrassed for them? do you think they are socially hopeless? does it happen often that people use the coupons or hardly ever?

I used to work at mcdonalds.
They can actually only be used at mcdonalds stores that havent got a drive thru (basically the town centre ones). So they couldnt use them at my old store.
Theres nothing wrong with people using them. Its nothing to be ashamed of. Ive used them myself a few times since i left. If people want to get a good deal, then they will.

it's convenient, flexible, easy come easy go - good reasons for a student to work there.

It is a documentary about McDonalds and the impact on health.

To be fair, wasn't it heavily discredited as biased and scientifically didn't tally? It boiled down to, if you eat McD's 3 times a day and don't work out you won't be healthy, plus he's an admitted serial abuser, pretty discredited at this point, several other docu's go out their way to demonstrate he's a liar.

That said I still really wouldn't want to work there, I struggle to see what positives there are, although that would vary from person to person.

Just because you work there, doesnt mean you eat the food from there.

If they had to pay staff more or could not get them, prices would rise and some people would go elsewhere. I don't want people dying prematurely or having strokes etc because of their diet.

The pay there wasnt bad actually. Ive had worse paying jobs.
I like your concern about peoples diet, but surely its nothing to do with you (unless you are a doctor or someone else in a health profession).
Anyway, whats it got to with the original question about the vouchers?

doubt it, most people are willing to spend all the money they have on unhealthy food. we could discover that an apple a day cures cancer, no one will listen though, people will still eat unhealthy stuff.
