: Did you know that McDonald's spends $1.8 billion worldwide every year on ads and promotions to boost their image - yet they can't, for example, find a single penny to pay overtime. The aim is: get profits UP, and wage costs DOWN.
: No wonder so many chuck the job in. But those who stay can fight to improve things....Read on for details of what you can do.

Don't like the conditions working at McDonald's? Shouldn't be a problem, its easily fixed. QUIT!. You complain that McDonald's objective is to lower costs and increase profits? What should it be then - to lose money? You consider it a hardship that employees are expected to smile at customers? What kind of job do you want? If you owned your own company, would you not have expectations for your employees? Or would you let them do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted? How long would you be in business?
I don't eat at McDonald's myself, but this whining by employees is really over the top. No one is forcing you to work there!
