    Especially when you look up the full definition:

    "McJob
    noun

    a low-paid job with few prospects, typically one taken by an overqualified person.

    ORIGIN 1980s: from McDonald’s, a fast-food restaurant chain, + Job."

    Not quite the same thing as claimed, eh?

    I respect the macdonalds people. I certainly wouldn't do it unless it was the only way I could make money. If they are happy why do people feel the need to take the piss.

    I drove past an office the other day and looked at all the lemmings at the desk and thought "poor feckers". People take the pish out of me driving a lorry, fair play. I couldnt cope with a desk job. Each to his own etc.

    Yes, and I would guess that definition should now include having a poll of your staff in which to a boy/girl they say it is a most wonderful job in the world.

    There's a rec. co. that does the same IIRC.

    You know the employer is serious sh1t if they score like 99% staff approval!

    the standard of person working at Mcdonalds is very good. They have had intensive customer service training. Bear in mind that their HR director is ex Tesco so selection and training will be amongst the best. There is one or two of you who could benefit from a few months of serving knobs like you on a day to day basis.
