The hiring standards at McDonald’s continue to plummet. My 6-piece Chicken McNuggets today contains only four wholesome bits of processed poultry goodness. I’d like to think it’s a health thing (“A third fewer calories than our regular McNuggets meal!”) or a corporate cost-cutting conspiracy (“The consumer will never know. MUAHAHAHA!”), but I’m afraid it all boils down to the sad fact that $7.01 per hour doesn’t purchase a whole lot of human processing power.
I guess I’ll just have to short them 73 cents next time I frequent their fine dining establishment.
