Not Lovin’ It

You'd think he'd be able to spot any lurking perverts, wouldn't you?

McDonald's workers have said they are still facing sexual abuse and harassment, a year after the boss promised to clean up behaviour at the fast-food chain. One 19-year-old worker, Matt, told the BBC some of his colleagues were scared of going into work, and that managers would "touch up" other members of staff.

Maybe that's why the Stratford Westfield branch seems to hire useless hijabis who can't get my order right? 

The UK boss of McDonald's has been summoned on Tuesday to answer MPs' questions for a second time, including over claims of sexual abuse.

Does anyone ever refuse to go? I sure would. Let them fume and grandstand to an empty chair.  

Mr Macrow told MPs then that the firm was taking action to improve working conditions, after the BBC uncovered widespread concerns over the treatment of staff. However, one current and two former workers from different parts of the country, claim that the restaurant audits that were promised, were stage-managed by the branches.More than 700 current and former junior employees are now taking legal action against the firm, accusing it of failing to protect them.

The only winners are going to be the lawyers. As always.

It’s important to remember that McDonald’s is mostly a franchise operation – just like your ‘NHS’ GP Surgery, which is not actually peopled by NHS staff, but rather by those employed locally by the independent GP practice ‘franchise’. Any responsibility of McDonald’s corporate should be confined to how they define the arrangements and accountabilities with their many hundreds of independent franchisees.
The actual day-to-day in-store behaviour becomes solely the responsibility of each local franchise-holder, for which they should be held personally accountable, rather than McDonald’s itself. But it’s so much easier to lob bricks at the Golden Arches than the hundreds of different Del-Boys running all the branches.
