Mcdonalds! Job #1

McDonalds was my first real job in this big world. I was all of 13 but my mother told them I was 14 so I could get the part time job. It was in the Moonee Ponds store in Melbourne. Its a long time ago now, but I remember it pretty well. I know there are literally thousands of people in the world that got thier working start at McDonalds. If your one of them, add your comments about your experience here.

I remember things like we used to get to buy the food at cost price. We also used to get to take home any apple pies or burgers at night if there were any unbought ones left at closing time. I know McDonalds food is probably not the best food for you on a regular basis, but it is cooked to a tried method and kept for only a set amount of time so the customer gets only the best product. I have however come across many stores in my life that have streched the rules somewhat and sell inferior products to thier own detriment. This in turn gives a bad name to all stores which is sadly unjustified. A store with good managers will provide a good product when you buy it. I have experienced both in my life and can understand the reaction to burgers that are more than 10 minutes old.

All in all, McDonalds are responsible for starting many a young person on thier road to success. Despite all other opinions, you have to thank them for being one of the biggest youth employers in the world. Thanks Macca's.
