: : It's obvious that everything is different in each McDonalds store.

: No Sarah, I don't agree. Minor differences aside, they all exploit their workers by paying low wages, they all benefit from misleading information to the public, they are all anti-union and they all benefit from cruelty to animals... So they have a lot more in common than you think.

: : I've worked in one and as a journalist i've done my research.

: I am really interested to find out what you research. Was the end result published?

I can definitely agree with Siamak on this one. Also why would ther be a need to monitor employees ? Really. I'd like to hear more of an answer
than what you've told me Sarah. Has journalism school become that bad that your critical thinking skills are at this level? You may not have a high opinion of McDonald's but I don't have a high opinion of journalists for the most part. I've been intentionally misquoted and lied about in the past to have more than just mercenary reasons for not trusting these pundits who spin apology after apology. I'm not saying you're like that but you had better be careful about just stating that your a journalist or whatever because it's about as respectable as being a Mexican cop.
