The more you eat the more you fart: I her her secret sauce is prune juice.

her her indeed, Herr Hurr Durr.

Or how about two saggy fried eggs on that mcgriddle?

Ah 40 years ago McDonald's was probably not a bad place to work, until people made flipping burgers look like a job for riff raff, which of course led people to go to college so that they could get a real job, and now that they've graduated they can't find work so people are telling to them to go flip burgers.

IT'S THE CIRCLE OF LIFE!

And jobs like that can be sucky but when you work for a place like McD's you can count on getting paid on time and having some job security. If you can survive on what their paying why the hell not?

I remember when McDonald's were run by mostly middle-aged men in the 1960s. No kids allowed.

I don't know how you guys can tolerate posting from smartphones and sh*t. Regular computators annoy me enough.

And getting to your joke... she's the pickle marinating technician.

Wow. I lived in Silvis for about 2 years...I remember her. She really is a super sweet old bird.

McGriddles FTW

Maybe those of us in the US need to stop looking down on someone just because they don't do prestigious work. That maybe there is nobility in all work.

/If you work and you pay taxes. You're ok in my book.

Good for her. If someone working at Walmart for forty years (if they've been around that long, too lazy to look it up) had invested $1,000 in Walmart stock when they started, they'd have over $1,000,000.00 now. The math is probably the same for McDonald's stock.

/not sure where i was going with that...

Is it a terrible curse or just a regular curse?

I was just at that McDonalds the other day and I remember going to it every so often in High School which is not to far from this McDonalds. She is truly a nice lady. Ever since I moved away and go to McDonalds at other towns I hate the service.

If she's marinating pickles...I wonder what's she's doing with those buns.

/oops...kinda grossed myself out a bit there

I take it her husband made a lot of money?

I'm sure working at McDonald's has its benefits, but I wouldn't want to make a career out of it. I didn't go to college and get my engineering degree to serve people food.

That said, a job at McDonald's (or anywhere, for that matter) can be used as a stepping stone towards your chosen career. If you're too lazy, entitled, or stupid to realize that, you're probably one of the 99%. But I have trouble believing that 99% of the country is lazy, entitled, and/or stupid. 47%, maybe.

There are a whole bunch of rich hillbillies that were paid more stock than money in the early wal-mart days. I mean the employees, not just the Waltons (who are also billionaires.)

So I've heard.

I agree. It is a small and pathetic person that demeans someone who is working.

By the looks of her, possibly a gypsy curse, but without a facial-wart-multiplier, who knows how terrible it is?

Good for her. There is honor in work. There's also a lesson here. Find something that you are good at and really like doing.

Meh, you didn't miss much.

Been doing a bit of family history lately -- found my great-great-grandmother in the 1930 federal census, working daily as a cook in a diner at the age of 78. Must've been a hell of a woman, about 15 descendants share her name.

/yeah, csb

I do a demanding job that requires a high level of skill. I make a very nice salary for it. I envy her. You go, girl! Must have been a nice 77 years.

It'll try to autocorrect for you, but you can head it off at the pass y'know. you just gotta pay attention and tell it that it's one of your special words, and save it,

cant help you out on the buns part though

Absolofarkinglutely. I actually look up to people that can take a shiatey job and make it their own. GOOD for her, better for her customers. I hope she gets a pay raise from the great publicity she has brought this store, not to mention the repeat customers and strong work ethic. The latter is truly missed by me.

The problem is that while grandma is working at McD's, she's taking an entry level position that a younger person could have used to get their lives off the ground. There is something seriously wrong with working in an entry level job your whole life, not because the work is not noble, but because we should expect some amount of upward progress over the course of a lifetime.

So it's not so much that we look down on people who work at fast food restaurants because they are beneath us. We look down on youth simply for being youth, and we look down on the adults in these positions for not having the wherewithal to move on to better things.

The Rev. Dr. is a personal hero and arguably the greatest American in history, but this quote is as inane as they come. People are called to flip burgers and sweep streets like farkers are "called" to drink beer and engage in snark.

Entry level into what exactly? McD's isn't a law firm, aeronautical corporation or advertising firm where you might start at the mail room and scheme your way to the top (if Hollywood is to be believed). It is what it is, it isn't an entry level anything.

Wow, really? I hit the MickyD's around me occasionally and the "youths" they have "working" there are APPALING. Older people with a work ethic are much better than the deadbeats made to work there by their parents every time. There is a shortage of kids that WANT to work, not jobs for them.

A) You're right in that Grandma does take up a job that honestly, in a fair world where all seniors were given enough to live on, should go to junior.

B) You're wrong (completely) in thinking that we should think less of the working poor when they continue to have to work even into the grave. It shows that you've never been a member of the working class; nobody who came up from a working class background would have such arrogance towards people who work service industry their whole lives.

How come everyone thinks this lady is great, but in the tipping thread waitstaff are crappy losers?

It's a way to cut your teeth in an actual business learning how to work in teams, work with customers, and ultimately supervise teams. These are applicable to just about any white collar job.

Unless you're above doing menial work, I guess. Are you above doing menial work?

McDonald's is unique in, that, the corporation is replete with individuals who worked their way from fry cook to manager to divisional vice president. And, for better or worse, fry cook or cash register employee is about as entry-level as it gets; in fact, one would be hard pressed to find a lower rank of employee in the American economy. Hell, even ditch digger - an epithet if there ever was one as I was growing up (get off my lawn) - probably pays more.

She was a cashier for forty years. Huzzah and mazel tov to her, but not exactly high aspirations. Reminds me of the scene in Jackie Brown:"not if your goal in life is to get high and watch tv."

That is an awesome quote. Exactly the mentality I took when working any job I've ever held.

If you're gonna do it, do it well. Even if you're scrubbing sh*tters.

If you take pride in your work, even if it's degrading and menial, at least you have your pride.
