Do you want fries with that?

Working at a 'McJob': a Senryu

McDonald's pay sucks,

They expect job perfection,

I'm NOT loving it

Author's Note

Yes, the picture is indeed the McDonald's I work at, on Old Route 66, taken a year ago.

I laughed my heart out on this one. Really good work on this, Eddie. Sorry to hear that you are not loving the job. I have always wanted to work at McDo or in any fastfood restaurant on a part-time basis, just to earn an experience. I think it will be fun. But the exposure to unhealthy foods might make me sick. Haha.

I've worked at the Golden Arches for nearly 12 years, it started out as a temporary job until I found a church (I was going into the ministry), but that all changed and I'm still there. Not a fun place to work, but you don't worry about layoffs or things like that.

Hmm... Do you have plans on changing your job?

[Eddie Davis]

Probably not, I get paid vacations and without any degrees, it would just be going from one crappy job to another one. Life is rather stagnant now... except for writing.
