McDonalds

[Drake]

mcjob isnt in reference to the quality of employement... "Mc" anything is equated with the food which has a very low standard of quality... so the term Mcjob, or Mc anything, isnt a diss on Mcdonalds as an employer, its a knock on the food...

Then... from where do you think that term is derived?

[curenado]

It's also a knock on thier "everything the same and interchangeable/identical cheap product" hence "McJob" & "McDojo"....

It doesn't say a word about the quality of food. Actually it doesn't even have the word 'food' in the definition.

You're wrong too.

[David Jamieson]

yeesh, this just spins off into the air doesn't it...lol

ok, here's a drop for ya-

McDonalds = crappy food that you really really shouldn't eat regularly at all and definitely shouldn't let yoru kids grow up on it. It's garbage, treat it the same way your treat chocolate bars, you don't eat those everyday do you?

McDonalds jobs= Ok for a teenager and a sign of a terrible economy and poor governance when it's your second job and you need it to pay for your house and your kids and you're 35 with a bachelors degree in something.

McDonalds exists and thrives because of...get this, a great deal of people, likely, the majority of people are lazy, lack motivation and simply are filled with so much desire that they don't care about themselves really, their health or their general well being.

This is how the business model was built. It looked at just how lazy, just how demotivated and just how stupid we all were collectively and then it provided something that would be serviced by those determining factors.

They are still going strong and they serve as a barometer for huamn stupidity to this day.

So, thanks McDonalds.

‘Almighty God’ members jailed
Source: Xinhua | July 27, 2015, Monday

NINE members of the “Almighty God” cult have been jailed by a court in central China’s Hubei Province for between 18 months and three years, local authorities said yesterday.

The cult members were convicted of “undermining the implementation of laws by making use of cult organizations,” according to the people’s procuratorate of Zigui County.

Police found them with 422 books, 1,047 leaflets, 283 video discs and 12 memory cards with more than 101,000 video, photo and text files promoting the cult.

They recruited and brainwashed their followers, according to the procuratorate.

On Saturday, a court in northeast China’s Liaoning Province said five members of the cult had been sentenced to two or three years for spreading propaganda.

“Almighty God,” known in Chinese as Quannengshen, grabbed national headlines last year when a video posted online went viral that showed five of its members beating a woman to death at a McDonald’s fast food outlet in the eastern city of Zhaoyuan, condemning her as an “evil spirit” after she refused to give them her cellphone number.

Quannengshen, which first appearing in the 1990s in central China’s Henan Province, claims that Jesus was resurrected as Yang Xiangbin, wife of the cult’s founder Zhao Weishan.

The couple fled to the United States in September 2000.

'McDonald's goddess' the latest in adored Taiwanese food workers




Web users have gone and gotten themselves all gaga over another Taiwanese food worker—this time an employee at the world's largest hamburger chain who's been dubbed the "McDonald's goddess".

When thinking of McDonald's workers in the birth land of the fast-food joint, stereotypical images of a pock-faced teenager taking orders in a puberty-strained voice tend to come to mind. But not in Taiwan. No, not there, where female staff members at the establishment show up to work in maids' outfits and cheerleader uniforms.





RocketNews24 has directed our attention to Wei Han Xu, who's gained legions of fans after a Taiwanese blogger called RainDog uploaded some pictures of her online. Standing behind the counter in her pink uniform, handkerchief and high-heeled shoes, Wei is not your average McDonald's employee, even in Taiwan. That's why she's been called the "cutest McDonald's goddess in Taiwanese history".







Don't be so quick to wave this off as another hyped-up publicity stunt. Wei has reportedly been working part-time at the McDonald's store for five years, and she appeared in another RocketNews24 post from 2013 when the store employees dressed up in frilly maid costumes.



Wei works as a model on the side, as is documented in her frequently updated Facebook profile.

She looks like she just walked out of an anime...

[GeneChing]

I caught these guys last Sunday while working for Outside Lands.

They were my second favorite act of the day.

[Jimbo]

She looks like she just walked out of an anime...

I was going to say the same thing. In the first five pics, she looks all of maybe 12 years old. So no, I wouldn't consider her a 'goddess'. Though I wouldn't be surprised if she becomes an attraction in Taiwan for Japanese tourists and American anime geeks hoping to meet their 'dream girl'.

[PalmStriker]

She would look especially cute on the cover of KungFu Magazine striking a form-pose dressed in Wuxia bandit garb with a pair of butterfly knives.

Donald Trump says Xi Jinping should get 'a McDonald's hamburger' instead of state dinner during US visit


Just Trump, Xi and Micky D's.

US republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in a TV interview that if he had his way, Chinese President Xi Jinping wouldn't be getting a state dinner during his visit to Washington in September, but rather a McDonald's Big Mac. Well, a Double Big Mac.

The remarks came amid an exchange between the Trumpster and Bill O'Reilly on a Monday evening airing of "The O'Reilly Factor".

The Daily Caller provides the transcript:

Bill O’Reilly: Two people coming to the United States of note in September, the Pope, okay, and the president of China is coming, a man named Xi Jinping. Do you know him? I have never heard who he is. But he is the president…

Donald Trump: Very smart.

O’Reilly: He is coming over. He is getting a big dinner free at the White House and addressing the U.N. If you were president of would you be throwing him a dinner?

Trump: I would not be throwing him a dinner, we’ve had this conversation. I would get him a McDonald’s hamburger and say ‘You will get down to work because you can’t continue to devalue.’ You know, we will give him a state dinner and what he has done is sucked all of our jobs and he has sucked the money right out of our country.

O’Reilly: Again, he hasn’t done it. U.S. companies do it. They’re doing it.

Trump: No, it’s our system.

O’Reilly: So, you would be confrontational with the Chinese? You are saying look,’I’m not giving you a dinner, here is a Big Mac’? Is that what you are going to do?

Trump: I would give them probably a double sized Big Mac. Look, it’s not so much the companies. It’s our government that allowed China to do that to us.

O’Reilly: I don’t buy that for a second.

Trump: I do 100%, Bill.

But that is not to say that Trump doesn't like Xi. Actually, he said he'd get along with the Chinese leader "very well", after commenting that the biggest imbalance in the "trade wars" between the US and China is that "their leaders are intelligent" and "[America's] aren't".

Of course, Trump's list of grievances with China is long and he's not shy about openly airing them on television. Just the next day, he managed to make headlines for his China-related comments when he attempted to imitate Asian investors using broken English.

"Negotiating with Japan, negotiating with China, when these people walk into the room, they don't say, 'Oh hello, how's the weather, so beautiful outside, isn't it lovely? How are the Yankees doing? Oh they are doing wonderful, great,' " he said while speaking in Iowa.

"They say, 'We want deal.'"



Deep down Trump loves China, though. He's already explained this during his 2016 presidential announcement using some baffling sports analogies.
