: It's obvious that everything is different in each McDonalds store.No Sarah, I don't agree. Minor differences aside, they all exploit their workers by paying low wages, they all benefit from misleading information to the public, they are all anti-union and they all benefit from cruelty to animals... So they have a lot more in common than you think.
: I've worked in one and as a journalist i've done my research.
I am really interested to find out what you research. Was the end result published?
:There are probably managers, owners and crew trainers who visit this site to see where they are failing and how they can improve.
Somehow I don't think so. Do you really think McD is so modest to take advice from mortals like us?
:I accept that because McDonalds is franchised then the conditions are VERY VERY different. McDonalds should set rules and guidelines for all McDonalds to follow.
That's why they have established a hamburger univerity Sarah, to train their managers and impose standards. So in fact conditions within one store are not all that different from another. The bad working conditions and ugly management style are endemic to all McD stores.
: McDonalds needs to monitor their employees and see how they can improve, not give them incentives (pay raise and those little badges) to work HARDER.
McD already monitors it's employees closely to the point of infringing their human and democratic rights. We don't want more of the same thank you very much!
I don't know how long you worked for McD and in what position, but you come across as very naive about McD operation.
