Speaker 4: on the back.

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 5: Well, I walked into my store at those usual time

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: and my manager Stef and my supervisor Sam had everything

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 5: prepared for me, with especially bulong everywhere, a beautiful fifty

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 5: year certificate McDonald's ring. I've had a trophy, I've had

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,000

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,160

00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: That so love George.

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 3: Just before we get onto your big mac consumption over

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: the years. If you work longer at McDonald's, do you

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: end up getting free food or do you get half price?

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: What is the go what's your staff right there, George, No, Well.

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 5: With staff in the old days, we used to get

29
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 5: free food. Unfortunately, there's always somebody in the world as

30
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 5: a human they abuse the system and then McDonald's, I

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 5: think in the eighties we start paying half price to

32
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 5: our staff. If they go to other stores they get

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: a discount as well, but on the day they work

34
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 5: in individual stores they get fifty percent of managers get

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 5: free food and as well as I'll tell I've never

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 5: abused the system. Now I only get what I deserve

37
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: and being told yeah, well that's.

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 4: Why you're still there. Do policemen still get free meals?

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 5: They do. We look after them and we look after

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 5: the ambulance and to fire the people that you know COVID,

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: we've looked after all the people that worked in the

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 5: industry of health. We gave him coffees and other things

43
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,839
Speaker 5: as well free so great.

44
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: So for a lot of people it's their first job McDonald's.

45
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: So when you were younger, is there any chance you

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: found a little bit of mclove at McDonald's any of

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: the other staff there.

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 5: I'm glad you said that because when I did all

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 5: the broadcast last week, one of my old girlfriends ringing

50
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,800

51
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,400
