OT - McDonalds wants to change McJobs definition

Just saw this in the news. McDonalds wants the worlds' dictionary companies to remove the term McJobs from their books saying it's an inaccurate reference to the company and it's employees. The definition states that it is a low paying meaningless task of a repetitive nature (or something to that effect).

These arrogant fucks! They pay $5.50/hr and teach a whole generation at a time to ask the ever soooo important question of (do you want fries with that?) and are getting upset that dictionaries have listed a term that basically calls them cheap worthless assholes. I'm all for them providing jobs but they should not think for one second that they should compare themselves with the really great companies that actually provide something other than obesity to our children.

End of rant.

They rarely get my McOrder correct. Most of the McUseless people that do have jobs there, don't really want to be there doing their McJob.

Big business trying to bully people, is all it is.

I don't believe that anyone at any fast food place has EVER asked me if I want fries with that.

Lol, you mean by giving job opportunities to young people or those that may not be able to get a job somewhere else, paying them generally above the minimum wage, teaching them responsibility, giving some an opportunity to move to management positions where they can then move to the Corporate office and have long rewarding careers and save for retirement....those BASTARDS!

I mean, Im not saying its the number one place to work for young people or anything but geez, they aren't the evil incarnate! Also, McD's has tried to put more healthy things on the menu for years... guess what...NO ONE ORDERS THEM!

Not disagreeing with this but please don't tell me your buying into them thinking they are more self important to our society than they actually are.
