Why I wouldn’t want to work in McDonald’s public relations

October 12th, 2008

Apart from the obvious reasons of why I wouldn’t want to work for McDonalds, working in their public relations section must be a soulless job that grinds your internal light ever closer to being extinguished.

These are actual questions that have been answered taken from the Make Up Your Own Mind UK site, the Australian one doesn’t actually have a public question and answer section, they have a Frequently Asked Question section featuring questions that I doubt are frequently asked.

  • i herd that there will be no free willy 4 coz yoov used the wail in yer fillet-o-fishes. zat troo?????? xxxxx - I wonder if we can somehow get the McDonalds people to stop the Epic Movie people from making more movies?
  • i am sure i heard on big brother one of the man say that the milkshakes have paint inthem to make them colorful is this ture? if not how are the colours made the pink one is very pink - well obviously if you heard it on BB…
  • r u planning to bring out a beef shake in the near future? when u do are u planning to extend the 100% beef advertising strategy to this product to as this would be a great branding solan oppertunity. - you could always take a Big Mac home and put it in the blender?
  • what is your response to the appaling service in the Leeds City Square station restaurant where staff are abused by the supervisors in front of customers? Additionally, how can it be right to have food snatched from your hand because one server says her customer had been waiting for it longer than you? The manager wasn’t interested in hearing complaints (Leeds Briggate outlet) - excuse me while I go and abuse the staff behind closed doors…
  • while in branch in Doncaster I was asaulted by a loud buzzing.I asked for a comment form but there was none avaiable. The buzzing was above a safe level - the buzzing was probably an alarm set in case the comment forms ran out.
  • hi um why did i fing toenail clippings in my big mac? - because of your acute Spider-Man like senses?
  •  i choked excrutiatingly on a what i can onle describe as a wooden chip , it lodged into my tongue and soft pallets and was very painfull i purchased my meal earlier earlier today from the macdonalds at airport bowl near heathrow air port - my mouth is very painfull and bleeding - be careful when eating the fries - cheers for the advice!
  • Why do I find that when I eat any of your burgers I get a sticky residue at the back of my throat. It is really horrible. What is it? - we’ll get the CSI guys onto that right at this minute!
  • Can too many double cheeseburgers harm you? - I think Darwin theory might apply here.
  • hi, my friend beth yule really wants to buy a mcdonalds uniform to wear when she goes out clubbing. is there anywhere that she could buy one from? ebay has been tried, nobody seems to be selling. please help, money is no object. - someone sounds like she has too much bloody money and is trying to attract fat guys??
  • My dad is called Ronald? I was wondering if it was possible that he is infact Ronald McDonald because if he was I could possibly get a free cheeseburger?! - I’d give this guy a free cheeseburger for this.
  • My friend told me that your chickens were grown in a Jurassic Park-like environment for their size. Could you please confirm as to whether or not this is the case? - No we don’t have a giant gate that has Jurassic Park written on it…
  • Im 24 now but when I was 8 I had a birthday party in McDonalds and I was expecting Ronald McDonald to be there and sing Happy Birthday to em but he wasnt!!! Where was he, ive been upset about this ever since, in fact im never having another McDonalds party unless you promise he will be there. - I’d play the, ‘he was there, you just didn’t see him’ card on this one.
  • Have you noticed that, on a phone keypad, the second half of your phone number (08705 244622) spells “BIGMAC”? - jesus that IS a coincidence.
  • Why is his name Grimace? Hes so happy all the time. - BAHAHAHAHA what a great question and important too!
  • I have heard that dr. who travels back to 1960’s america to get the original fries because ha cant stnad the newer fries. is that true? - Bloody Dr Who.
  • Is it true there is dog that runs the mcdonalds in Edinburgh? My friend told me he once bit a worker who was asleep behind the drive-through. I really didn’t think Mayor McCheese or Ronald would have stood for this?  They wouldn’t have stood for this but as you say the dog runs the place so what can you do?

      I was actually in the Leeds city square station MacDonalds yesterday. I didn’t see anyone abusing the staff, but we did get the same toy twice in our two happy meals. It was a R2D2 though so I wasn’t overly upset.

      it almost takes a degree to make out decent English in there, let alone giving ‘decent’ answers to these questions ..if they are possible.
      A friend of mine got sacked from Mcdonalds years back because he didn’t smile enough.

      I came across something remotely alike yesterday:
      things said in court (check the topic below the line).

      Your friend should get a job with aussie McDonalds I’m pretty sure smiling isn’t a prerequisite in ours.

      This is hilarious. I love the idea that the 24 year old would consider a McDonalds birthday party…

      The answer was quite precious too, they advised that they couldn’t know where Ronald was on that particular day because of the amount of time past :)
