: >> we run a very successful, ethical and fun business...: What do you mean by 'ethical business'?
Meaning we practice good people practices and are here to serve the customer and provide them with what they want. if people didn't want McDonald's they wouldn't have helped create it to be THE most successful fast food restaurant in the world. Meaning we set out to achieve the best results through our people and work with them and assist them in their own professional development. Meaning we support numerous charities and regularly contibute to the research in cancer amongst children. Meaning we support families with children who are sick by providing accomodation through Ronald McDonald Houses.
: Just what is so ethical about McDonald's - fast 'food', fast profits?
Every business exists to provide a service and make money. Unfortunately we all need money to survive in this world. Oh..and by the way...thats what FREE enterprise is all about :)
: You pay low wages to a mainly unskilled, part time, work force.
Let me enlighten you.....McDonald's Austalia is recognized as the BEST of the best McDonald Systems currently operating. McDonald's Australia - like all companies is Australia - still pay their employees primarily by age. Starting at 15 years the base wage is around $5.20 per hour. This system also applies to part-time and fulltime employees. A crew person of 20 plus earns around $12 per hour. Their are also pay increases according to promotions...ie. crew trainers..etc.
If you want to see McDonald's as it is supposed to be run...come to Australia and see for yourself.
: You promote a diet known to be unhealthy.
Firstly...McDonald's never promotes a diet...it promotes a meal. McDonald's also promotes people should have a balance diet.....receivig sustinence fom the major food groups.
McDonald's food has strict quality control on the food it uses. From production to handling. Recently there has been news in the media about quality of food....fom your local deli to the major supermarket and five-star restaurant. It examined many facets of food preparation. McDonald's is way ahead in these areas. Our food is of the highest quality possible for the type of industry we are in.
If you have any queries contact FJ WALKERS..our national Supplier for all our produce.
Now, Lets take a basic look at a McDonald's meal....
Big Mac - 100% pure beef, bread, fresh lettuce, cheese, dill pickles, onion and Big Mac sauce
Shakes - fresh dairy mix straight from the local dairy company
Bacon & Egg McMuffin - Freshly cracked eggs you buy in a supermarket
plus canadian bacon directly produced by a high quality meat company.
I suggest you contact a McDonald's Consultant and do your research before you start talking about something you don't have the FACTS on.
: You sell the flesh of animals raised and slaughtered for your profits.
so does every supermarket and butcher.........who's service it to provide fresh meats for those who wish to enjoy such a type of meal, that's THEIR choice. If you don't eat meat that is your choice.
: Just what is it that you think is ethical about you business?
What i just said.
