Working at McDonalds
- Thread starter JasonTAlexanderJR
- Start date
I remember that stat being 1 in 6 about 20 years ago. More chains and more people today but 1 in 8 is still a lot for one company. I wonder what the average employment duration is at McDonald’s and if that has changed over the years.

I had a lot of jobs in highschool and I never even considered applying for fast food. Just seemed like too tough of a gig for various reasons.
I have more respect for people who work at McDonald’s than public schools teachers and left wing activists.
I doubt anyone GAF whether you repsect them or not.
I assume he has the utmost respect for public school teachers and left wing activists, but just has a liiiiiiittle bit more respect for McDonalds workers, which is admirable bc service employees deserve it.
I did. I don’t think a poll here is going to get near that percentage.
The demographics of a McDonald’s worker when I was there was a few lifers that worked weekdays. nights and weekends where full of high school and college kids and most of the ones I worked with got college degrees.

did you take part in the scholarship program? If so, how much did they offer?
I remember a classmate was part of the scholarship program, and I remember being interested in working at McDonalds bc of the scholarship, but then i think i was told it was only like $500, so i said f that.
Now their website says anywhere between 5k-100k, def was not that much in 2005.

I worked at McDowell’s in Queens along with some nice people…
Ask here_for_a_day... I heard he still works there.
Extra $1 per hour on Sundays. Was a sandwich artist on the old one in Tally--unfortunately not Club Publix.In HS, I had a few friends that worked their, but most of us worked at:
Yes, summer job between soph & junior years in HS Started at the french fry station, moved to combo bun toaster/Big Mac prep but my proudest day was taking the reigns at the meat patty grill when a co-worker failed to show. Made it thru rush hour without a hitch. The manager said he was proud of me! I was bragging the next few days after that.
THAT'S A GOOD ONE, HITMAN!!!! SCORE ANOTHER EXECUTION FOR DA HITMAN!!!!! HE KEEPS DELIVERING KNOCKOUTS!!!!! GIVE US ANOTHER ABOUT BERNIE SANDAHS AND DA SQUAD!!!!!!
You think you’re so cool and edgy. When in reality you’re just freaking loser.
HITMAN!!!! HOW CAN YOU HATE ON ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS!!!!! I LOVE DA PAIN YOU PUT ON DA BERNIE SANDAHS, DA SQUAD, DA LIBTARDS, DA MARXISTS, DA COMMUNISTS!!!!!
I respect anyone that works and does it well. I don’t respect people who look down on others for where they work, as long as it’s not an organization built only for hate.
I believe that 1 in 8 people have worked at a McDonalds. It's such a typical HS type job and McDonalds is everywhere.
I worked in one for a couple of years in high school and the summer after my freshman year of college.

One of my friends worked there and it was awesome. On weekend nights when we were all going to hang out he would call me and tell me to come through the Drive Thru at a certain time and hand me a bag full of burgers and fries for all of us. Also had guys in our friend group that worked at Taco Johns, BK, Long Johns, We all ate for free anywhere we went. Ahhh to be 16 again.
It's not too late to for us to pick up side hustles at night. I could re-up with McD's after 30+ years, you could do TBell.
Yup, started working there in 8th grade - 10th (you can work at age 14 in Wisconsin).
Age 14-17 during the school year. Less hours during summer as could make more on the farm or roofing. I don't recall exactly; but i believe i started out at $4.65 or so an hour (1994) but got bumped up to over $5/hr after a month or 2.
Don't forget the French benefits* which included sneaking a mcnugget here and there.
*WOB intended
Hah - we did that quite often right around closing time on the weekends. Was too easy when one of us worked the drive thru and one worked the pickup window. Most of the stuff was just getting thrown away anyway.
The biggest thing i learned was that the Monopoly game was impossible to win, except for a free fry or hashbrown. I bet we pulled 1000 pieces one night.... as a teenager, i didn't realize there was only one or two winners for the decent prizes so we thought it was worth it. I don't recall exactly; but it was likely fry or hashbrown containers, as the cups would have been too noticeable.
