McDonald’s all-day Disaster

It seemed like a good idea at the time.

McDonald’s all-day breakfast has been a disaster
They’re in no way “lovin’ it.”
McDonald’s franchisees say the launch of all-day breakfast has been a disaster — griping that it has slowed down service, lowered average bills and sparked chaos in the kitchens.

Mark Kalinowski, an analyst for the Japanese finance company Nomura, surveyed 29 operators overseeing 226 different locations in the US and found that many were pulling their hair out due to the new menu options, which rolled out last Tuesday to much praise from Egg McMuffin lovers.

“In small stores, the problems are vast with people falling over each other and equipment jammed in everywhere,” one franchisee wrote in response to Kalinowski’s survey.~snip~
In my opinion service at fast food restaurants has been declining quite a bit, there's several I won't go to any more because the fast in fast food has left the building
That's a shame because there's a few I used to really like, Chick-fil-a seems to be the only one left in my neck of the woods that continues to be fast and friendly.

Popeyes fired employee offered job back

Somehow I don't think this is much of a happy ending. She shouldn't have been fired for the reason she was in the first place.
Unfortunately this maybe the only option left to her, then who knows what will happen when the fuss dies down.

Popeyes offers job back to manager fired after refusing to reimburse cash stolen in armed robbery
A pregnant Popeyes manager has been offered her job back after news of her firing sparked outrage against the fast-food chain. 
Marissa Holcomb, who is five months pregnant with her fourth child, met Wednesday with Z & H Foods owner Amin Dhanani, reported KHOU-TV.
“He just apologized and pretty much offered me if I wanted to go back to his business and work there again,” she said. 
Holcomb said she was offered her previous position, along with $2,000 in back pay, but she has mixed feelings about returning. 
“I do need a way to support my kids,” she said. “I don’t want to go back to a business where I’m treated the same and I just get pushed back out if something else happened.”
Holcomb said she was fired less than 36 hours after a gunman demanded cash from the restaurant’s safe.~snip~
I do hope things work out for her and her family.
Maybe this experience will be the push she needs to alter her life to be more than a fast food worker.

Roasting the Rubes

Obama and his administration has created an economy so dismal that being a barista is a job college graduates can only aspire to.
Where the best prospect of advancement for most people is to use unions to strong arm fast food restaurants and other low skilled employers into paying wages above what their labor is worth. The opportunity to move into higher wage positions is diminishing with each labor report.

But it was cool and edgy to vote Obama and his job killing agenda into office....like totally worth it.
Read it and weep for your futures Millennial rubes.

Maybe Pain Will Teach You Millenials Not To Vote For Your Own Serfdom
You Millenials voted for Obama by a margin of 28 percent, which will make it a lot easier for me to accept the benefits you will be paying for. We warned you that liberalism was a scam designed to take the fruits of your labor and transfer it to us, the older, established generation. Oh, and also to the couch-dwelling, Democrat-voting losers who live off of food stamps and order junk from QVC with their Obamaphones.
You didn’t listen to us. Maybe you’ll listen to pain.
I have been told that being hard on you Millennials will turn you against conservatism, that I should offer you a positive, hopeful message that avoids the touchy problem of your manifest stupidity.
No. There’s no sugar-coating it – your votes for Democrats have ensured that you are the first generation in American history that will fail to exceed what their parents attained. Embracing liberalism was a stupid thing to do, done for the stupidest of reasons, and I will now let you subsidize my affluent lifestyle without a shred of guilt.~snip~
Let that article sink in....the damage is so profound that it will take years for the first rays of hope to peek through the abysmal economy you all wanted when you swallowed the "Hope and Change" motto hook,line and sinker.
