Have you ever thought about getting a job at McDonald's?
I tend to burn myself when I cook, still I've heard McDonalds is not just a place we can get delicious food, it's also a place where you can earn money and work with some really cool people.
A lot of young people out there love working McDonald’s, so let's go find out why.
Now what most of us see when we come to McDonald's is the menu, the counter, straw dispenser, maybe the napkins if you salivate a little bit too much over your food, and if you take time to look you'll notice that most of the people behind the counter are young and are having a good time.
Who have we got here?
Emily! How long have you been working at McDonald's?
I've been here about nine months now.
And why did you decide to get a job at McDonald's?
I knew one of the managers and she said it was fun to work at so it kind of looked pretty cool as well.
Best parts of your job?
Definitely the people working here it's a really cool environment to be in.
And that's the front counter. We now cross live to Hans who's out the back. Hans?
Thanks Hans. Yes I'm at the drive-through window, now we've all seen it but normally from this side.
So this is how it works on the inside, if you like Xbox you're going to love this place you get a head set you get buttons to push.
"And welcome to McDonald's what can I get for you today?"
The only difference is you're getting paid money instead of trying to ignore your mom while she's vacuuming the living room
