McDonald's

Montpelier, Vermont

I work at an American McDonald's, but we're close to the border of Canada, so we have a lot of Canadian customers.

As far as menu items go, the Big'n'Tasty is called the Big Extra in Canada, and they seem to have "junior" meals available with small fries and drinks. American restaurants don't have the McRib, to the best of my knowledge, or hockey cards. Or Fruitopia, but they do have Hi-C Orange.

As far as employee benefits go, Canadian McDonalds workers get a GoldCard which entitles them to half off any meal at any McD's in Canada or White Rock, and free soda at their restaurant.

American McDonalds employees get one free meal per shift that can only be eaten on a half-hour lunch break (unless your shift isn't long enough for a half, in which you can eat on your ten minute break), and, though I don't know if this is the same nationally, one slip on the back of paycheques good for half off of one purchase up to five dollars, and we're prohibited from using it with dollar menu items. Also, taking as much as a soda when you're not "entitled" to it (read: not on break) is considered theft, and appropriate action is supposed to be taken by managers.

------------------------------------------------

I work at a Canadian McDonalds and we're a Franchise so we are not run by the corporate head office. The biggest differences that I notice is definitely the menu items.

At my McDonalds we do NOT offer:

The Big Extra OR the Big'n'Tasty.

Twist cones (Chocolate&Vanilla ice cream)

Frappes, Lemonade, or those cherry Ice slushies.

20 piece nuggets

Honey Mustard sauce, ranch sauce, or buffalo sauce.

Also our Jr.Chickens are the size of the American McChickens. Our McChickens are full size sandwiches that come with their own meal. We also don't have a dollar menu, we have an Extra Value Menu instead, with the cheapest item being $1.29 for a plain hamburger. Also American Sweet Tea is our Iced Tea. American Iced Tea is DISGUSTING! It's basically just cold tea.

As far as employee benefits, it's actually called a Platinum card and it can be used at any McDonalds across Canada. It entitles us to 50% off everything on the menu including EVM items and drinks. We never get free meals unless a Manager is so inclined to promo our order. We only get free drinks 30 minutes before our shift, during our shift, and then 30 minutes after.

I've never actually heard of Hockey cards, and the meal that the person above speaks of, the "junior meal" does not exist at my McDonalds. People ask for them ALL the time and we have to explain that they don't exist, at least not anymore.

I'm also fairly close to the border as my McDonalds is in Ladner, BC.. which is about an 45 minute drive from the Peace Arch Washington border. We get a lot of American customers who ask for several things that we don't have on our menu. We also have issues with Canadian customers asking for American menu items due to TV Commercials. We even have an option on our tills for US Cash that does the exchange rate for us.

I hope that gave some perspective!

The first McDonald's was created on April 15th, 1885 by Dick and Mac McDonald.

MCD on the NYSE

Dick and Mac McDonald opened the first McDonald's in May 1940, in San Bernardino, California.

According to the powers that be in the health department, 1/2 to 1 hour. From everyday cooking and eating, you can thoroughly reheat it and eat it up to 36 hours later. The reheating kills any bacteria that has since grown. Of course, how dry it gets in the mean time should make the decision for you.

The BCG Matrix for a McDonalds is a star. It is considered a star because of the growth rate and high market shares.

They start hiring at 14 years of age

The minimum age of employment outside school hours is 14 years of age for casual and part time employees. It is our policy that if you are 14 years of age, but not yet 14 years and 9 months that:

Your parent or guardian provides written consent for you to start work

You must be able to demonstrate during the interview that you have the ability to handle difficult situations and the skill to fulfil the required positions.

BUT, the only problem, is that you can only word half time.

McDonalds operates over 31 000 locations worldwide which is, FAR TOO MANY!!!

My friend works at mcdonalds hes makes about $8.55 an hour and works about 48-52 hours a week so about $410-$444 a week.

Really depends on the state and hours you work.

I've travelled around a lot of Europe and these seem to be the average prices for a Medium McDonalds Meal (Big Mac, Fries and Soft Drink): Sweden - €7.00 Britain - £4.00 (about €6.50) Germany - €6.00 Italy - €5.60 Slovenia - €4.70) Poland - 11zl (about €2.90) Croatia - 20kn (about €2.50) Ukraine - €2.00 All McDonald's charge extra for milkshakes and alcohol and many also charge extra for bigger sandwiches like the McTasty.

You can get 2 for a dollar

I think it is Safe in L.A. by Gold Motel. At least that's the song on one of them

chicken club sadwich- Grilled or Crispy w/ bacon, med fries and drink

Yes. They recycle paper, plastic, and metal cans.

The most common thought is that MacD's meat comes from old cows that have lived past their production lives, and chickens (being broilers) that have been raised in crowded conditions eating massive amounts of grain. And it's probably true, but the company will probably never tell the public the truth of where they get their meat from.

burgers in India are very inexpensive they are approx 48 rupees

At present, McDonald's is operating in 119 countries.

They put them on the grill for about a minute or 2.

Dalaman Airport in Turkey must be a contender.

One large quarter pounder with cheese meal and one large McChicken sandwich meal for a total of 48 Turkish lira, approximately 22.00 GBP, 11.00 GBP per meal.

yes it is a service industry. Check this out

bun, mustard, ketchup, onions, 2 pickle slices, 10:1 patty, 1 slice of cheese, 10:1 patty, bun.

ALTHOUGH all of these things are true, it is NOT healthy, actually its quite the opposite, and I highly advise you to never eat fast food again.
