Here's the thing, if you walk into any of the more modern McDonalds....you find a significant amount of automation at work. You don't need counter-help because they've got touch-screens ready to take your order. Enough of the grill and fry business is process-driven and with automation built into it. So what you really need in a 8-hour shift is one real manager type (over the age of twenty-five), a number two guy with experience at the customer and operations level (over the age of twenty-five), and then the 'kids'.
By the term 'kids'....I'm suggesting that the bulk of McDonalds employees probably should be between 16 and 21 years old. By the time you hit the age of 21 to 24....you need to have some real path laid out and procured some type of education or training....to 'move up'. If your ambition is to be the permanent and everlasting French Fry guy at McDonalds....then you've failed. Your entire life is set to a minimum wage situation.....where you will rest from age 16 to age 67. Go do the social security amounts for retirement. I doubt if you can get more than $400 a month if this was your path in life.
This idea that you can reside at McDonalds for your entire life and live off the minimum wage situation? It's a joke. You need to have a path, and the goal of getting some additional training/education, then moving on.
