..I'm sorry Arista but we're going to have to disagree about this...you say that you would employ Polish people because UK people are lazy..?...but to me that just makes you what you accuse them of...a lazy employer who wants the most back for the least input and maybe the lowest wage as well..?...so really that isn't the answer at all and not only hypocritical but very discriminatory....


..Arista, you're always saying..can you put this or that country in the title..like you're very proud to be British..but you won't employ any because you think they may require a bit more effort..?...but they're the lazy ones..?...


EDIT:..as an employer, it's also up to you to motivate people to want to work for you and to enjoy the job they do more...if that isn't worth the effort and it's better to take an easier option, then you're letting those 'lazy' young people down as well...so where's the motivation for them to want to become anything else..?....

The Polish have either gone or moved up the ladder. It's mostly Romanians and Slovakians working there now.

Yeah...you got that right... I'd end up shooting myself, apologising and leaving mortified...

Either that or like I usually do and not say anything...

"as an employer, it's also up to you to motivate people to want to work for you and to enjoy the job they do more.."

Of Course Ammi

But a McD Franchise costs money to set up
so to get money back faster
in this Cut Throat Industy
I employ Only Hard Workers

..yeah, I do understand what you're saying Arista....to get your return quicker for the least effort could still be described as a 'lazy' option..which is exactly what you're saying about young UK people..and most successful businesses are just so because they think of long term and not the 'quick return'....you have to invest more than just money in a good business...

That I agree on
As a CEO and Manager
I can Sweep up and clean a bog
if the staff are busy with other work.

..that's very commendable, Arista...and as a CEO, I'm sure that you also appreciate the value of investing your time in training and motivating your staff in their workplace..and give them more incentive than to just 'be lazy'...which obviously benefits you and your business and helps to keep that life in the fast lane.....

Is it just Liverpool/Merseyside or have they scraped Quarter Pounder meals everywhere now? Went into one the other day and they gave me a Chigago burger alternative LOL (Tastes of America). Wish they wouldn't make the buns all spicy and coat the thing with mayonnaise (which I usually like) and lettuce.

When I was in Liverpool some guy was proper kicking off in Mc D's saying he'd been waiting 40mins for his meal. We still got ours before his as well haha

never noticed a problem too often... has its off days and its fast days. I'm not sure you can really complain about fast food leaving you dissatisfied.

They are fast as hell in America. There was this one in San Diego I would go to, where the food would be ready literally seconds after I ordered it. I was barely even done filling up my drink by the time it'd be ready.

That's a lot exaggerated. They may not be perfect or owt but always comes out pretty decent for me.
