The employees at McDonald’s in 2023 need to watch this video. They could learn a lot from it.

NASA can learn from this video and so do many companies in the world. Heck, even your family, including kids, learn from this. Probably your 6 months old baby can learn from it. It not only covers your business operations, but tells you how to live your life as well. What a great educational video.

Traveling safely through OUTER GODDAMN SPACE to the moon and making it back without injury or death is apparently no more difficult than running a damn McDonalds. This video makes me angry.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I used to work at McDonald's back in 1990 with a strict and all business manager like Bill. If only we had more people like this McDonald's manager who does his job well. On the flipside, most younger generation of today would walk out on this manager because they would get pissed off to easily. A manager today with this strict style of directing people and reminding them there are consequences for not following procedures and work rules would not go over very well. Most crew members would just say "fuck you" and walk out. Many McDonald's managers nowadays are too lenient and laid back to direct and motivate the crew members because they will just get pissed off and threaten to quit.

Today manager guy or woman is walking around the restaurant with head down staring at his iPhone, along with all his workers, and customers. One small step for technology, one giant leap for ignorance.

When do we get to the part about edged weapons?
