: Your right, managers aren't stupid. Thats why they hire young children to do this job. So they can be bossed around and bullied. They don't even know what unions are and just accept, as I did, that this is what your first job is like.

Ya know what? It is. There are so many kids who don't know a damned thing about work. They suck off of their parents all of their lives and coast through school pulling of mediocre grades. Then they graduate not knowing how to do jack-shit. The go to work and realize that what they are doing is too hard. It can't be done, it isn't worth it. So, they quit. Then what do they do? They file for Welfare. Leave it to the rest of us working slobs to support them. Now don't give me that "not all people on welfare are deadbeats" because that's not what I said. I'm only talking about the able bodied dead beats who are simply lazy. Now when a work ethic is aquired at an early age, it is there forever. I'll admit that up untill I started working for McD's, I had little or no work ethic. But thanks to having to work in such a "sweat shop" I am now a good worker. In fact I am one of their best workers. Also, don't assume that we "children" don't know anything about unions. It's rather insulting.

There are no answers except if people like all the ones bitching on this site do something about it. A boycot of McDonalds would kill them. Of course it would. But there is one minor problem. There aren't enough people out there who are truly dissatisfyed enough with the corporation to actually want to boycot them. McD's has become part of American culture and I know that I'm going to get shit for saying that, but it's true. People don't boycot for a cause that they don't believe in.

:However, most people are sheep. They refuse, or can't, see what is going on and so follow the crowd. It is easy to agree with everyone else than be left out on your own.

You don't know how ture that is.

I disagree with what you say, but will defend to the
death your right to say it.
