48. Wet & wild
How about W hosing down the drive-thru lane. It takes only a few minutes, and he gets to wear a uniform! McDonald's parachute optional.

It would be too stressful for him. He wouldn't last a day.

3. He's underqualified for any of those positions because they require labor.

18. I was gonna say hamburglar too.
He couldn't be Ronald because he would frighten away the kiddies by telling them scary stories about the terrarist boogymen monsters that hide away in their bedroom closets and under their beds just waiting to come out when the lights get turned off.

10. I think he'd be ok at the counter
The cash register just has pictures of food on the buttons, and it even tells you how much change to give back to the customer (does anyone even know how to count up anymore?). Very little need for literacy. Might be a good fit for the Boy King. And he's personable, so about 48.9% of the customers would enjoy sitting down and having a shake with him.

16. LOL. . .
I worked at McD's as a teen and we had a "special" guy who cleaned up the dining room and did the restocking of napkin holders, etc. I can guarantee you that he was more on top of it than the chimp.

20. Too dumb to be on fry patrol.
Cleaning the toilet would probably be a challenge for him as well. I have to agree with the first poster, the Ronald costume seems to be it.

Considering the lack of jobs many middle class people have had to take such jobs. (such as my self)

Oh and by the way - nice hit on the lower class who work in fast food. I'm sure it's very popular among rich bastards. What's your job? Maybe we can start a thread to slam it as well.

A lot of poor yet good people work these jobs. They don't deserve your disrespect.

You've started a nice lower-class job bash.

Just goes to show how royally the party is out of touch with the lower class.

You should email the link to Halliburton execs & Ken Lay. They'd sure like to join in on the fun I bet.

30. Deep fryer operator
It seems like a simple enough job that even Dubya couldn't fuck it up. The grease temp is automated and a manager checks it with a thermometer every once in a while, so he doesn't have to do that. The fries are doled out into the fry baskets by a machine, so he doesn't have to worry about putting in too many. You drop the basket into the grease, shake it when it beeps once, remove the fries and let them drain when it beeps again, dump them into the fry tray when it beeps a third time and shake some salt on them. Sometimes you have to put the fries into the packages. He could do that.

If it was Burger King, where they have onion rings too, then we'd have to find him a different position. But at McDonald's, he could do it.

I go to McDonald's maybe once every 2 or 3 years, but the chance that I might have to eat something he's handled is just too high.

excludes Chimp. Drive Through Attendent requires a minimum of English skills, so no dice for shrub. I'm thinking fry fryer, unless of course, he tries to pilfer one, in which case he may choke on it, which will raise everyone's workman's comp costs. So I guess, it's either President of the United States or welfare for him.

If he can keep his balance long enough, he might be able to keep the bathrooms clean. However, to clean a toilet, you gotta move the brush around in a circular manner, and W. might get dizzy and fall over.

47. Working at McDonald's is a real job.
And Boy George has never held down a real job where he had to show up at the same time and place every day, actually do some work, report to a boss, and get along with other employees, some of whom are not other rich white guys. Flipping burgers is honest work; Shrub has only ever been the figurehead manager of some business funded by his dadyy's rich friends until the business flopped and he had to move on. If he ever did get hired to hand out burgers and fries at the pickup window, he'd be fired within days because (a) He's almost certainly incapable of making change; (b) he probably wouldn't even show up half the time; and/or (c) he'd more than likely be wigged out on crack and Jack Daniels.
