Congrats to the McDonald's workers

across America.

True story - when McDonald's arrived in Kingston Jamaica, there was a Mr. McDonald who ran his restaurant for years and they tried to shut him down. He sold Jamaican food and ran a popular establishment just off Half Way Tree Road. McDonald's opened under the Golden Arches name because the matter was in court. The local guy one the case but Jamaican people were truly pissed at the gall of the Big Mac. They opened several stores after the dust settled but people stayed away. I think the only Mac restaurant left is the one in Montego Bay.

Now imagine they tried that same shite with a Scottish guy in his homeland. Go figure.

Fugg 'em! Go workers!!
Exploitation on steroids
