When I was a kid in high school there was a serial killer who lived near me. He owned a large pig farm where he would sometimes invite high school kids over to come drink and do drugs. Some nights he would drive into the city, pick up a hooker and take her back to his pig farm. He did this over fifty times.
Pigs are excellent at disposing of corpses, they even eat the bones. Aside from eating bones, it is believed that Robert Pickton’s pigs found their way into the McDonald’s menu, snuggled between a greasy disk of ground beef and some processed cheese. Pork is the most important part of the bacon double cheese burger, as well as the pink disk in your McMuffins. It is also believed that McDonald’s worked to cover up this horrible atrocity of second hand cannibalism.
Something I learned about McDonald's. I learned how stupid people REALLY ARE. That was MY basic understanding of people. At least I got change for working there!
Well, I guess back then that working the counter at McDonalds was preferable to being drafted and sent over to Vietnam, although not by a large margin.
I give props to working at McD's as a teenager in the 80's. It did teach me about responsibly and good work ethics. And also showed me that most of my managers smoked pot. And were willing to share. :)
@sairitalastar123 please call again is old school for come again... it was in fashion at that time to say that, kinda like in the 50s gay people were never homosexual- no they were happy...
@ShadyKaracter To "call" in the South means "to visit"..... Ever heard Kenny Rogers song "Coward of the County"? "The Gatlin boys came a calling"........
@sarahata22 Wow your son must be SO special!! I'm SURE he's way above working for a living! Good thing there are those "common folk" to work these jobs huh?? I'd love to slap the shit outta arrogant people like you. Hope your son winds up an AIDS infested, drug addict.
@sarahata22 No, I just can't stand arrogant assholes like you who sing your own praises & brag about your kids & look down your nose at the working class.
I somehow think your full of shit though. But if your son really IS well educated, ask him to teach you grammar, spelling & punctuation you ignorant buffoon. You make a fool of yourself every time you post a comment. 7 errors in two sentences is like...........3rd grade level education?? LOL
they also learn that mcdonalds are disgusting things and will never eat them again. i want to continue to enjoy mcdonalds. when im older thats the last job ill have
@omgharajuku its fucking mexicans that say "i wanna work i wanna work!" but do a fucking shit job at everything fuck mexicans i mean now theres some that are really glad to be working and do the best job and i respect them
Before civil rights the American workplace was very sexist. The newspaper help wanted ads were segregated into two sections, jobs for men and jobs for women.
@LINYVideo I dont know what Civil Rights has to do with McDonalds in the 1960's. Plus why would there be any famale working at McDonalds? They should be at home taking care of the househould and children and ofcourse they would be making the meals not going to McDonalds. LOL
@LINYVideo so sad. In my country is like that in the present day. When I came here to the US I was looking to the Men and women job section on the classifieds. I didn't understand at first.
@anniem63 Historically, it's what made McDonald's what it is today. They were moving away from their loud teen customers and instead focusing on families, so they got rid of roller-skating babes and hired clean-cut young men to provide a better image for a family-friendly establishment. Smart move for the time, although yes, sexist by today's standards. But it was the 1950's, so it's understandable.
My guess is, In 1966 most of television went from Black and White to Color. When 1967 came around the unused black and white film was only going to be thrown away so it was available for next to nothing. Ray Kroc had just bought out the McDonald Brothers for 1 million dollars each, after taxes. He was way over his head in debt and this was probably the only film he could afford. Good investment, he ended up buying a baseball team, the Padres.
@beatlesXXXluver101 also, it probably happened kind of like vhs to dvd or dvd to blue-ray. Color was there but, it took some time to get everybody switched over? Though LINYVideo's reason is probably correct.
"No Hippies are allowed at McDonalds. We only acccept nice young clean-cut boys, who's training will serve them well once they get drafted and go off to Veitnam to fight the commies." McPlease.
Amazing how things change in 43 years. Notice in '67 how they show all the McD's employees are males. Nowadays, women and girls make up about 70% of all McDonald's employees, including upper management. I can understand why that is nowadays; McD's pays low wages, even to low level managers. But what I cannot understand is how come males could multi-task in fast food back in '67, but now it's females who can multi-task and males can't? Something is wrong with America.
First McDonald's Executive:At McDonald's, the only brown we serve is MEAT! Second McDonald Executive: We just spent 5 million dollars to redesign our restaurants for the 1970's! Take a look! First McDonald's Executive: OH MY GOD! THE WHOLE STORE IS BROWN! Who's Brilliant Idea Was This?!! Second McDonald's Executive: Brown is Ray Kroc's favorite color.
Hard to imagine a time when McDonald's only hired young white men and only ones who were clean-cut, courteous, rock and roll hating, business-minded and deeply patriotic----no pot-smoking hippie slackers! Ah, the good ol' days.
Not gonna lie, I used to work on Halifax and now I work in McDonalds and it is so much more fun! Fair enough it's crap pay but for a student is dead on!
Very specifically the voice-over narration mentions hiring "thousands of clean-cut young MEN" -- because as late as this, company policy was that McDonald's did not hire girls or women to work in its restaurants.
lol i work at mcds as an latenight manager nothing says fun than having to deal with a bunch of drunk teenagers coming from the local bar and trashing the place no matter how quick we get thier food out....sons of bitches
@fastold I'm not a manager but I've been working there for over five years and I've seen busloads of kids go through ours and they would trash the place. We also get some rude SOBs that some through the drive-thru. THAT is the sole reason why I chose to never become a manager, lol. You guys deserve way more credit then the shit you put up with each and every day.
@FelicianoCookie wow five years thats pretty good before I put in my 2 weeks notice 2 more work days and I will be free from mcds I worked for the company for nine and half years of loyal service to them than I thought it was time to move on to look for a better job that will help move on to a better life aka good enough pay that I could afford my own place and maybe make new friends and maybe even a relationship with someone :) and ty for the comment sir or madam
Back then you probably could make some kind of a living by working as a McDonald's employee. Unfortunately salaries and minimum wages for these positions have not kept up with the cost-of-living. Now you'd be considered 1 of the working poor.
it's funny watching them do their mundane, tedious jobs with a winning smile and great attitude........I DARE you to show me anyone nowadays who does a job like that without bitching about it and cussing their boss under their breath...............
Mcdonald would be an awesome place if all the food they sold would be organic. They should think about it. Food is important and people will pay up for it.
Even with the war in Nam going on, back then we didn't have schools on lock down, students carrying weapons to school, schools providing day care for pregnant teens and teens even had self respect. Looks odd watching it today but back then we never had a worry that a 14 year old would pull a gun on you.
Why arent those ''Clean Cut'' guys over in Nam with an M16 fighting off the Communist menace called the Viet Cong.....You cant win a war flipping burgers and your only weapon is a spatula!
Those ''Clean Cut'' guys should have been over in Nam with an M16 fighting off the Communist menace called the Viet Cong.....You cant win a war flipping burgers and your only weapon is a spatula!
@IIIB52 - Back then it wasn't required to handle food with gloves. You constantly washed your hands and that was the law then to repel food illness. Today the health code is more stringent. No one got sick then from food handling.
Bare-hand contact is still allowed in places. The restaurant I used to work at in Bell County, Texas, for example only went to gloves to due customer complaints.
According to local health code, bare hand contact is A-OK so long as you have a minimum of hourly hand washing.
Frankly I'd rather have my food made by someone who has washed their hands recently that someone who has been wearing the same pair of gloves all day.
@hzzlrp10 - I realize each state is different. In Texas where you work the health codes there are bare hand washing is sufficient as long as it is done hourly. In my state of NJ. You must wear gloves after washing your hands when handling raw meat and gloves must be changed before and after handling any food or raw meat. Most states follow this example due to the fact that because of food bourne illnesses even after claims of handwashing for extra protection from any illnesses. According to-
the Mcdonald's Corporation as a franchisee/owner, you are solely responsible for the operation of your restaurant. This includes following all safety and state/local health codes. The Corporation itself is not responsible legally if you are sued for any food borne illnesses of violation of safety codes/regulations. You sign a wavier of agreement. Failure to comply could mean the loss of your restaurant to McDonalds. They will protect their brand no matter what.
I'm aware of what a franchise agreement usually includes. The place I used to work was recently bought out. The agreement the new owners signed pretty much indemnifies corporate HQ of nearly all liability. Should anything go wrong it will be the franchise owners who are on the hook.
@hzz lrp10 - That's right! Becoming a franchisee/owner of a McDonald's is not cheap, you have to be a millionaire or better just to own one. You have to have at least 500-600k in assets (or be able to obtain) in your bank account! A lot of money to lose if you are on the hook for anything.
600k is being mighty generous. That would get you a very small location, something strip mall sized at the biggest. Even a relatively modest stand-alone store (25-30 person lobby capacity) would run $1.5 million and up. The very large stores such as those by interstates easily run in the double digit millions.
I was just curious about franchising in general and looked all this stuff up on various corporate websites a few years back.
That's generally true of any restaurant. The one I worked for was self-insured even before the franchise buyout. Corporate took any kind of slip-up involving food safety very seriously for obvious reasons.
So far as I'm aware that is S.O.P for the industry. I'm not even aware of "Whoopsie!" insurance even being available.
@hzzlrp10 - Corporate only takes up a small amount for safety, but mostly the franchisee insurance must handle the majority of any liability. A owner once told me Ray Kroc made this policy back in the 70's and corporate kept it ever since. He figured if you have the big bucks to own a McDonald's franchise, you should pay for the insurance as well. In the old days it cost McDonald's millions to cover every restaurant, by eliminating this cost it saves McDonald's overall cost by millions.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. So many people I've met seem to equate gloved hands with "clean". Having worked fast food for 8+ years I know for fact this is often not the case.
Dear Peterkis, I've also been turned down by "McDonald's"for work..they've also said that I'm overqualified..but..the plain truth is? They don't hire heavyset people in their 50's.
Dear Peterkis, I've also been turned down by "McDonald's"for work..they've also said that I'm overqualified..but..the plain truth is? They don't hire overweight people in their 50's.
@RJS3566 Its easy to be your childs friend...heck we want them to like us and think we are cool....but its far harder to do your real job...be a parent, parent them, correct them, guide them and tell them "no". We have become more an more permissive with each generation. We reap what we sow. If you want to be Mr. Cool....don't have kids...because you aren't supposed to be cool anymore...atleast not to kids. Kudos to YOU! Keep up the great work and set the example.
It seemed to me 1966-67 was when McDonalds began their national tv ad campaigns, one of the first "fast food" franchises to do so. Virtually all commericals were black and white then, even after the network shows themselves had all gone to color.
I can't believe Mcdonald's employee's used to be so nice. Now most of them gum chewing idiots who talk to each other instead of listening to your order. It seems Mcdonalds used to be like in n out is now.
I love this commercial. I wish more young people would take their education as serious as the way this commercial describes the benefits of working at McDonalds.
@AlbertaJCW001: "Call again" has the same meaning as "come again," or, more accurately, "come visit again." One could also say, "to call on" a friend, meaning to pay them a visit. A somewhat formal expression, but correct and still in use.
It sure aint an easy job. You'd start an 8 hour shift and be told to take your 45min break right away so you'd work 7hrs15min straight. You're not allowed to stop working even for a second, the kitchen's like an oven, you have to ask permission to have water or go ot the toilet, you have to serve and prepare waiting meals at the same time, you have to carry and wash big metal vats of scalding oil in a chest high sink using bare hands and no soap while taking orders for drive thru...fun!
@mssorby Meh, only worked there a couple of months before I got a proper job where I didn't get forced to do 4 hours overtime without a break for £4 ($6) an hour.
It depends on the person and what they make of it. when I worked there all I did was sip on shakes and grub on fries and chicken nuggets all day. When it was busy me and other employees would race each other to see who can get their orders done the fastest. I never asked permission to eat or drink anything because at the end of the day all food goes into the trash. Drive thru is better because all you do is stand in one spot and talk thru a speaker. Sounds pretty easy to me.
@26aowens See, when we did drive thru we would have to be cleaning out the oil vats etc and scrubbing them at the same time as listening out for customers on the headset. Then if one came you had to take their order right away on the headset while running to the window on the other side of the store, all the while trying to remember their exact order so you could put it through the till when you got there.
@167509matt: "Call again" has the same meaning as "come again," or, more accurately, "come visit again." One could also say, "to call on" a friend, meaning to pay them a visit. A somewhat formal expression, but correct and still in use.
Tired of going BACK IN after i go through drive thru and they forget crap. Even when I eat there, I gotta go back on line and wait to tell them they gave me the wrong burger as my fries are getting COLD at my table? POLICY SHOULD BE IF THERE IS ANY MISTAKE MADE WITH THE VALUE MEAL YOU ORDERED YOU WILL RECEIVE A FREE COUPON FOR THE SAME MEAL FOR NEXT TIME. NO MORE WITH THESE ZIT FACED , MESSY HAIRED LOOK, JERKS THAT WORK THERE.
@GarBagePaiLkidS1 and it's customers like you that make their job a lot more stressful than it should be. if they made a mistake, oh well, it's human nature you're not the center of the universe and you sure as hell are not the only customer in the world. it's food, not money, diamonds, or jewels, IT'S FOOD! get over it! and those "zit faced, messy haired look jerks" are not the only ones working there. There are clean cut, very nice, respectful ppl also, so who really sounds like a jerk?
I don't know about that Jikk; McDonald's today is nothing like what it was back then. The people back then were so much more professional than what they are now.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Finance. I work at McDonald's as a shift manager. The job market tells me I am overqualified for every job I apply for. I am not a slob, I am an articulate, well-educated woman. k up the

@IIIB52 - Back then it wasn't required to handle food with gloves. You constantly washed your hands and that was the law then to repel food illness. Today the health code is more stringent. No one got sick then from food handling.

@VirgilB01
Bare-hand contact is still allowed in places. The restaurant I used to work at in Bell County, Texas, for example only went to gloves to due customer complaints.
According to local health code, bare hand contact is A-OK so long as you have a minimum of hourly hand washing.
Frankly I'd rather have my food made by someone who has washed their hands recently that someone who has been wearing the same pair of gloves all day.
hzzlrp10 4 months ago
@hzzlrp10 - I realize each state is different. In Texas where you work the health codes there are bare hand washing is sufficient as long as it is done hourly. In my state of NJ. You must wear gloves after washing your hands when handling raw meat and gloves must be changed before and after handling any food or raw meat. Most states follow this example due to the fact that because of food bourne illnesses even after claims of handwashing for extra protection from any illnesses. According to-

the Mcdonald's Corporation as a franchisee/owner, you are solely responsible for the operation of your restaurant. This includes following all safety and state/local health codes. The Corporation itself is not responsible legally if you are sued for any food borne illnesses of violation of safety codes/regulations. You sign a wavier of agreement. Failure to comply could mean the loss of your restaurant to McDonalds. They will protect their brand no matter what.
VirgilB01 4 months ago
@VirgilB01
I'm aware of what a franchise agreement usually includes. The place I used to work was recently bought out. The agreement the new owners signed pretty much indemnifies corporate HQ of nearly all liability. Should anything go wrong it will be the franchise owners who are on the hook.
hzzlrp10 4 months ago
@hzz lrp10 - That's right! Becoming a franchisee/owner of a McDonald's is not cheap, you have to be a millionaire or better just to own one. You have to have at least 500-600k in assets (or be able to obtain) in your bank account! A lot of money to lose if you are on the hook for anything.
VirgilB01 4 months ago
@VirgilB01
600k is being mighty generous. That would get you a very small location, something strip mall sized at the biggest. Even a relatively modest stand-alone store (25-30 person lobby capacity) would run $1.5 million and up. The very large stores such as those by interstates easily run in the double digit millions.
I was just curious about franchising in general and looked all this stuff up on various corporate websites a few years back.
hzzlrp10 4 months ago
@VirgilB01
That's generally true of any restaurant. The one I worked for was self-insured even before the franchise buyout. Corporate took any kind of slip-up involving food safety very seriously for obvious reasons.
So far as I'm aware that is S.O.P for the industry. I'm not even aware of "Whoopsie!" insurance even being available.
hzzlrp10 4 months ago
@hzzlrp10 - Corporate only takes up a small amount for safety, but mostly the franchisee insurance must handle the majority of any liability. A owner once told me Ray Kroc made this policy back in the 70's and corporate kept it ever since. He figured if you have the big bucks to own a McDonald's franchise, you should pay for the insurance as well. In the old days it cost McDonald's millions to cover every restaurant, by eliminating this cost it saves McDonald's overall cost by millions.

It sure aint an easy job. You'd start an 8 hour shift and be told to take your 45min break right away so you'd work 7hrs15min straight. You're not allowed to stop working even for a second, the kitchen's like an oven, you have to ask permission to have water or go ot the toilet, you have to serve and prepare waiting meals at the same time, you have to carry and wash big metal vats of scalding oil in a chest high sink using bare hands and no soap while taking orders for drive thru...fun!

It depends on the person and what they make of it. when I worked there all I did was sip on shakes and grub on fries and chicken nuggets all day. When it was busy me and other employees would race each other to see who can get their orders done the fastest. I never asked permission to eat or drink anything because at the end of the day all food goes into the trash. Drive thru is better because all you do is stand in one spot and talk thru a speaker. Sounds pretty easy to me.
26aowens 1 year ago
@26aowens See, when we did drive thru we would have to be cleaning out the oil vats etc and scrubbing them at the same time as listening out for customers on the headset. Then if one came you had to take their order right away on the headset while running to the window on the other side of the store, all the while trying to remember their exact order so you could put it through the till when you got there.
