    If they got paid well like they use to you would see higher level of service, but the greedy CEOs need more.

    The production bin could only hold food for 10 minutes whereas now they can hold disassembled products in the kitchen for much longer so I cannot see it returning anytime soon. The new system also gives the impression it's made freshly for each order - when it isn't.

    $3.59 in 1974 is equal to $22.40 today. I don’t go to mcdoodles but I would bet at today’s inflated prices a shake, coke, coffee, Big Mac, quarter pounder, regular burger, two regular fries and a pie will cost way more than $22.40.

    These 1974 employees need to train 2024 employees The 1 minute technique happens today, if your lucky, today, they take their sweet time, your lucky to get your order in less than five minutes, the customer service reps are sometimes on their phone screaming or whatever, totally not focusing on the customer, then to top it all off they give you an attitude. And heaven help you if your having a bad day and get upset with the manager because they didnt get your order right, they will deny you service.

    I don't even know what I'm doing. A gook could be standing three feet in front of me, and I wouldn't know it. I'm so tired. It's scary 'cause nobody tells me how to do anything 'cause I'm new, and nobody cares about the new guys. They don't even wanna know your name. The unwritten rule is a new guy's life isn't worth as much 'cause he hasn't put his time in, yet. And they say, if you're gonna get killed in the Nam, it's better to get it in the first few weeks. The logic being: you don't suffer that much.
