Mark Nutt thinks us humans are like pack animals and we crave a hierarchy. Any job that requires no qualifications or experience and can be taken by anyone could indicate that you are at the bottom of the social ladder, and if you are an older person it could be seen that you haven't achieved anything to warrant a job requiring skills or experience.
A job is a job and if it gets you money that you like then that's great!
I think people think its demeaning or that their too good to be working there.
I think its attitude like that, that makes people remain unemployed.
I dont understand whats so bad about working there.... its work after all.

Nothing just don't become obese when you work there.
-
Work there for 2 years, then you'll figure it out.

The same thing that's wrong with being a socialist, being from West Virginia, and being black. Stereotypes abound.

Well for one, the Job Security isn't great. It's only a matter of time till they perfect the Fast Food Robot and then the human labor for that industry will tank like crazy.

Its only good working at McDonald's if you're a teenager with no experience. In fact, fast food places usually hire teenagers with no experience, but not in this economy they're not :(

It is a good place to learn basic employment skills and rule structure. It is not a place I would ever desire to make into a career, unless you are on the executive business of things. My first job working away from the family trucking company was at a McDonalds. It wasn't bad. I just learned then that I never wanted to eat a Big Mac ever again.

Part time job for student. Gets stereotyped into a gyppo.

Hashtags... hashtags... everywhere... :(

There's nothing wrong with working there. I'd prefer more people had jobs in fast food than just doing nothing with their life because they don't want to work at a place like McDonalds. It does, however, annoy me when people talk about their job at McDonalds like it's a seriously complicated and physically tasking job.

I'm not sure. Here in the UK it pays a decent wage, not exactly high earnings but not bad either for someone straight out of college. It also offers reall flexible hours perfect for people in part time education.
-
Nothing is wrong with it.
-
My English professor stapled McDonald's application sheets to failed tests. Lol.
-
Nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

Edited by Banned Man 3000: 3/16/2013 7:06:39 PMA) Minimum wage job B) You need absolutely no skills to be hired there, and given the large amount of people who apply, they're going to hire the lowest of the low, because they have the least chance of moving up in teh world, and therefore are very unlikely to quit.

Probably what you said at the beginning.
