 I have not watched this video yet. I saw it on Reddit, but I didn't watch. I thought that I'd save this for stream So apparently this youtuber is going to film himself getting a job at McDonald's, but in actuality He's not really working at McDonald's. He's larping as a McDonald's worker for a day or so And he's going to essentially from my understanding of the description of this video drive home the point that it's not that bad to work At McDonald's they respect their workers and also there's a little bit of a problem This video is sponsored by McDonald's UK Mmm, so a little bit of a conflict of interest. So the youtuber in question here is Only white folks. He is a British person. I don't know if that sounded more Australian I shouldn't try with the British accent, but I don't know Like if this is really a political youtuber per se seems like he's you know just a standard Regular youtuber like vlogs and shit surprising my brother on his 19th birthday. What is it? Okay? So he's just like a vlogger or something like that. So I don't think that like he's Explicitly political, but like it or not this video is going to be political if you're going to drive home a certain point now look I Haven't watched it yet So if it is the case that you know, he explains how his experience When it comes to this PR stunt for McDonald's, I guess, you know Whitewash their treatment of workers if he explains that that's not like representative of the average McDonald's UK worker Okay, I Guess that's better But I think we all know where this is probably gonna go right these gonna do propaganda and make it seem as if McDonald's You know, it's all hunky-dory treats as a they treat their employees well now. I don't know about the UK I'm sure it's the same there same company, but in the United States McDonald's workers are treated like complete shit They get their hours cut so they can't you know qualify for health care That's not a problem the UK obviously, but they don't have unions. They're underpaid overworked They have no benefits essentially. I think that management does have more benefits But still like McDonald's workers are exploited and they're treated like shit by management by customers So Let's see him apparently whitewash McDonald's employees treatment Welcome to the blog now. I've heard that you can apply for a job at McDonald's using Alexa You know how much I love my food and you know how much I love my tech as well So I thought why not try and apply and get a job at McDonald's Alexa. Help me get a job at McDonald's Here's the skill McDonald's apply through by paradox incorporated from McDonald's Hi, what country do you want to work in? United Kingdom Okay, just from the beginning This is an advertisement for McDonald's like it's sponsored by McDonald's, but he's like going in Right off the bat saying oh, did you know that you can apply for McDonald's using your Alexa app? Why is his watch pixelated? I didn't notice that Yeah, that is weird Okay, we're not I'm not gonna watch every second of it. Let's get to the McDonald's portion, okay He puts on the uniform. He's officially larping and first of all, I think that this doesn't get set enough but Employers should not be able to control every aspect of our lives I mean think about how much control employers have they control everything they control the clothes that you wear They control the way that you speak when I worked at subway for example I would get reprimanded by management because instead of saying hi welcome to subway I would say hi. How can I help you today? Nope, Mike? You've got to say welcome to subway Okay, does it fucking matter? I'm I'm greeting the customer. Yes, it does matter apparently We'll write you up if you don't fucking say the right thing so they control your clothing your speech It's straight-up corporate dictatorship stone as you're saying So just the fact that they have so much control is insane tuck in your shirt If you've got time to lean you've got time to clean. They are fucking mini Tyrants, right? So we have democracy when it comes to our political system Kind of right, but nobody's even thinking about how we should have democracy in the workplace But that's besides the point Okay, this is so much bigger than I thought it was going to be You need to put it here Oh, hand it Okay, you're going to hand it now Is that good? Does that got my hair? Yep, it's going to be over your eyes Okay, don't get it like that Yeah, I'm a superhero Right, okay, not so much Okay, immediately if this were a real experience as a McDonald's employee The manager would be like, stop fucking around, put on the hair net! Like so this is already not accurate And they do that in a very British voice, I'm assuming He's fine, he's challenging everybody Okay, this right here, just pure propaganda You have a camera in a worker's face and asking him how do you like working at McDonald's? I mean, what do you think he's going to say? Do you want him to be honest? Of course you don't What do you want him to say? Whenever the district manager would come into, you know, a subway when I worked there Or, you know, any job that I had Do you think that we would be honest and upfront? We'd say, oh no, we love it, it's great Love everyone here, it's great Because you have no choice, you have to say, oh everything is copacetic here So, I mean, this dude is like, he can't explain what he actually thinks about this job I fucking hate it, the people are assholes, you know, I don't get paid enough money You know, but he can't say that though Right, you've learned a lot of skills from working there Yeah, they do all I don't know how to read that in, how to... What, like a thing? I don't know what, like a thing like this Awesome, right, I really want to make something, what should we make? What should we do? Oh, I never...which one can I make? Oh, you know what? Let's make a big one, let's make a big one Okay, this is... I'm going to be very slow I've got no stars, right? Why have you got four stars? What have you done for four stars? Work a lot, work hard Yeah I just want to say, I hope that they like added more people to the staff Because like, I would hate to think that he's training this person Training this person Just for a fucking YouTube video Like, I would be pissed Like, it's really difficult to train people I was always like the trainer at my jobs And like, I feel like I was pretty good at it I'm very patient I think I can explain things well But it's difficult because whenever you're training You don't have extra labor They don't...they usually anyways Don't give us extra labor to train So you're like trying to do your job And train, and help customers And it becomes so like overwhelming So I hope that they gave him More staff But I'd imagine they would Because this isn't... Like, this is going to be broadcasted to Like how many views? Almost 600,000 views So you know, they want to make it look good So they're going to make sure that he's not overwhelmed But you know, a regular training day Probably doesn't look like this Okay, this is five minutes and 18 seconds So we cannot watch all of it Let's go ahead and jump a little bit We're going to have to try some chips, right? Yeah? This is something that I've wanted to do I'm going to do this also See, this is where it gets really awkward for me Because she just wants to do her fucking job She doesn't want a camera in her face She probably didn't sign up for this Can you imagine Having to like put on a happy face for the camera? Like you already have to put on a fake happy face When you're at work already, right? But to do it in front of a fucking camera For a YouTube video I just can't imagine I would hate this mother fucker If I were her If I were any of them Like am I the asshole in this instance? Maybe I am Maybe I'm just too cynical But if somebody came into my job When I'm trying to help customers And I have like a camera in my face I couldn't tolerate that It's hard to keep your cool sometimes Well, I shouldn't say never I mostly held my composure on customers But it's hard when you're dehumanized Like Especially if you have to interact Directly with customers Like again, I worked at Subway So like you'd be like making their sandwiches And these motherfuckers are ruthless So you'd put olives on their sandwich Like okay, can I have some green peppers You'd put green peppers They're like Like holy fuck Where did that come from? It's like And then you have other people You know, they'd walk in You'd say hi, how's it going? They'd literally ignore you Like they don't even see your humanity Or recognize your existence So like, you know To put on a happy face is kind of difficult But like this lady just wants to do her job Leave her the fuck alone I gotta say For a YouTuber of this size Your audio is fucked, my dude Like you should have had a microphone If you were going to bring cameras And put them in all these workers' faces Because you can't hear Yeah, she's very clearly uncomfortable And it's making me uncomfortable It's Like You've got to read the social cues, my dude You've got to say Hey, do you want to be on camera? And if you like Maybe See that reluctance? Back away, don't make them do it Like she probably wanted to be nice But you're making her do it Like, mm-hmm I don't like this So this is part of the propaganda I'm not sure if this is witting or unwitting I'm sure that they gave him Like a little bit of a script to follow Oh, talk about the skills you have I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know Oh, talk about the skills that you learn The management skills The coordination The time management Like that's probably what he has to touch on At some point during the video Per the rules with the sponsorship Although, I don't know the criteria to be honest But like you can just see the propaganda All over Like it just reeks of propaganda And really the takeaway at the end Is what I want to What I want to see Like what does he say at the end? So, how do you think I did? Quite good I did pretty well I did pretty well How much of an a-hole was your subway manager, Mike? The worst The worst Like she'd be watching me And the rule was Okay, you can only put three olives On a six inch And six olives on a foot long And if you put more than that You will get written up Unless the customer asks And no customer wants that little So, like, she'd be sitting there watching I see you I see you putting way more olives on there It's like, it's fucking olives Who gives a- Goddamn, like such a fucking asshole And I worked there when I was a minor I worked there for five years, actually Didn't get breaks when I was a minor Not good Was treated like shit And the customers were such fuckheads I swear to God, they're so rude Never acknowledged the humanity of you Like, I think that working in retail And fast food Like, it really should be required for everyone Like, I don't mean that literally But like, you have so much more sympathy For people in retail and fast food Who work with the public after you've been You know, subject to the wrath Of these fucking Karens Who are just insane And some of them are borderline psychopathic It's just anything that goes wrong You get yelled at if their credit card Or debit card gets declined You get yelled at, that's your fault It's just every little thing is your fault It's so, so ridiculous So again, this is the propaganda tactic What are you learning from McDonald's? Isn't this a wonderful employer? What a great experience What are you learning? And now she has to take time out of her day And come up with some bullshit For PR for McDonald's She's not part of the marketing team of McDonald's Like, if they're going to make her do PR for them They should pay her accordingly Because the PR department makes a lot more Than these minimum wage employees I fucking hate this dude I fucking hate him I hate him so much You smug motherfucker Putting this camera in the faces Of these minimum wage workers Getting them to tell you For your propaganda video That you're getting sponsored for How wonderful it is to work at McDonald's Like, I bet that the sponsorship money That he got was more than Any employee makes in a week Like, I wonder how much it was Like, you know, it's a lot of money To actually spend your day here They're spending a lot of money Like, let me try to figure it out Because I was offered a sponsorship deal With some VPN company I won't name them And the price tag was like a lot Like, it was a lot of money It was $300 and $20 For each person who signs up thereafter No, I didn't take the sponsorship Because you already see YouTube ads You need to see more ads Like, no, that's not okay I don't want to do that But like, if they were willing to pay me Like a small VPN company $300 just to plug them for like 30 seconds Imagine what McDonald's would pay him For spending the day at McDonald's And making a whole video about this It wasn't Nord, it was a different one But they're advertised all over And that's not to say that Like, if you take advertisement You're inherently bad I would do it if my channel Like, needed it and we had no revenue But I don't want you to watch more I hate ads, so I don't want you to watch more ads But yeah, like, he's making thousands of dollars That'd be my guess That'd be my guess And my channel is way smaller than his, right? Like, how many subscribers does he have? He has 1 million subscribers So if a... Where are we at? Like, 380,000 subscribers If they pay me $300 for a really short ad This dude's getting some... Like, thousands of dollars Thousands of dollars, for sure That's the impression that you made From working as a crew And then coming up to this window Okay, the salary That is not a good thing I was on salary before as a manager When I worked at Blockbuster I'm dating myself But salary means that You are going to get Fucked When you're no longer hourly And they realize they could take advantage of you To the extreme So I went from working like You know, 35 hours a week To 40 hours a week I was full time And then jumping to salary My pay was increased by like Maybe 5% each month And I was working like 60 70 hours a week I was working... There's one week Where I almost had a nervous breakdown Where I worked two 17-hour shifts in a row Because everyone had called out And I was the only one available So it was like me 17 hours a row With like, I think one or two other employees Two days in a row So I went home... And I was commuting So I basically went home to sleep And then came right back Could have just... It really should have just like Spent the night in my car But like, when you're on salary They bleed you They treat you like a robot So her being on salary Like it sounds good, right? Because you have this reliable income You always have a certain amount And if your hours are cut Well, that doesn't affect your income Except they're going to take advantage of you For sure So sales bonuses I didn't get sales bonuses But if we did make sales quotas I would get more labor So I'd be able to give employees more hours Which helped me to do less work overall But I did get some bonuses Although it wasn't until The store closed down And I got a bonus of... It was like $2,000 I think Because my store sold like a lot It was like a going out of business sale And we sold a lot And so I got like $2,000 Which was a lot Really, really cool But like, that was really the only bonus I got the only other bonuses That I can remember getting Were like $100 bonuses There was no holiday bonus No nothing So salary You really get fucked So I feel sorry for her Because you know she's not Just working 40 hours per week Although like I don't know About regulations in the UK But in the US Like if you're on salary Unless that's a giant salary Odds are you're going to get fucked Like I wasn't even making $40,000 A year to be on salary At Blockbuster And this was you know Circa 2012, 2013 But still like That's not a lot of money Like making less than $2,000 Per month essentially I had a car payment You know rent You just And then you work nonstop It's a lot Oh the gift card See we didn't have gift Card pushes at Blockbuster But we had to sell like candy bundles And once the company was bought by Dish We had to Shove Dish network down Everybody's throats And the managers would get reamed If they didn't do that It was just It was so fucking obnoxious This manager right here Love that Well done That's very impressive So Riva how are you doing? I'm good how are you? I'm very good I've had an amazing Amazing afternoon Working here In McDonald's today How do you think I got on? Pretty good I was nervous at first I was a little bit nervous Yeah But I mean With different roles I saw that anyone was confident Which is great And this is what we do Exactly And you are The people Supervisors Yes You're the one that actually hires Yes I mean I'm Supporting The clients And just teaching them Actually So do you think I could potentially work here Or develop into another role? Yes Would you hire me? I'd love to work here And make minimum wage Even though I just made Like probably $5,000 Off of the sponsorship And then not to mention The ad revenue from this video Oh please hire me Shut the fuck up I hate him so much Am I being unreasonable here I hate him He's such a fake fuck God damn I'm ticked all those boxes I'm a perfect candidate Yes Thank you very much And maybe this time My brother up as well He's looking for a job He's looking for a job Yeah, he's 16 Yeah, so he needs a job There we are guys That was the day done With McDonald's I've had an amazing shift And worked with the best team ever Over here They're so hardworking I genuinely didn't realise How much of a big operation Is behind me I thought, you know It's kind of flipping your Getting here and there You know, didn't try But I've learned So many incredible skills From not being here for the day I really felt my confidence growing Throughout the day And I don't feel like There's anything I can't make I could do the firing machine I could do the fries machine I could make a burger I could do everything You know, I'm coming for a job If you guys enjoyed the vlog Then you know what to do Don't forget to hit that subscribe button So you never miss out on another video Give the video a thumbs up And let me know in the comment section How do you think I got on today?
