i don’t put irrelevant jobs on resume either. nobody does. i worked at pizza place when i started out. never had that on resume, shit was irrelevant to anything else and i hated that place passionately.

Harris's résumé a year after she graduated college makes no mention of McDonald's

Because nobody is going to do that.

Silly me. I always thought she was in charge of the 'secret sauce', not the fries. She milked the sauce behind the counter for extra tips.

Funny thing though, wouldn't you think McDonald's would be proud to state that Madame VP Harris worked for them as a young college student? I mean, somewhere, a record of her employment has to be somewhere, wouldn't it? Instead, their response has been 'no comment.'

How come I first read that as "I did flies"? Like, is that the bug kind or the zipper kind?

"She had been pretty bad at her job so far but she has my vote I think with this new intel that she did fries at McDonald's." - No One, Never.

Having worked at Burger King, doing only fries is not a job at a fast food restaurant. You are either working as cashier, food prep, or expediting (assembling orders).

I find it more than a little ironic that one of the most plastic, phony, toxic politicians in history actually deep fried those McDonald's fries in their infamous toxic liquid plastic.

McD works on franchise scheme, so all these restaurants keep their own records of who did fries when. The corporate doesn't know and doesn't care.

As political stunts go, this might have been the best I’ve ever seen, because it served two very powerful purposes in the presidential race.

First, it reminded voters that his rival, Kamala Harris, has repeatedly boasted about having a summer job at McDonald’s to make her sound more relatable to her fellow Americans, but to date, not a single person has been able to verify this.

This is quite extraordinary given how specific she has been, with her campaign team stating that she worked at McDonald’s on Central Avenue in Alameda, Calif., in 1983 after her freshman year at Howard University, working on the cash register, french fries station and ice cream machine.

But then, she didn’t mention it in her memoir, nor does it appear on the 1987 résumé she submitted when applying for a position at the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office despite listing her other work experiences. ...

And it matters because it goes right to the heart of the Democratic candidate’s persistent pitch that she is the truth antidote to fork-tongued Trump.

If you’re going to position yourself as a bastion of honesty, you can’t tell brazen, self-promoting “I’m middle class just like you” fibs about working at McDonald’s.

The second reason why Trump’s stunt worked so effectively is because McDonald’s is about the purest personification imaginable of the American free market dream — a place where everyone can afford to eat, and equally, where everyone has a shot at potentially running a McDonald’s franchise one day. ...

Amazon’s billionaire founder Jeff Bezos worked at McDonald’s, as did the likes of Jay Leno, Pink, James Franco, Pharrell Williams and Olympic great Carl Lewis.

And so have millions of ordinary non-celebrity Americans.

McDonald’s is the great unifier, crossing all race, gender, age and creed divides. ...

Members of the carefully screened public who drove through to be handed free bags of food by the former, and possibly next, president were all lovin’ it too, looking thrilled by their interactions with their unlikely server.

One woman even thanked him for “taking a bullet for us.”

“To be successful,” Ray Kroc, who bought the company from the original founding McDonald brothers and transformed it into a global powerhouse, said of his business strategy, “you must be daring … and different.”

Well, Trump definitely pursued a daring and different campaign path with this stunt, and I think it paid off spectacularly.

For a privileged billionaire who’s never been seen cooking a meal in his life to put a shift in at McDonald’s like that was not just hilariously funny, it was also a powerful connective link to regular voters.

I worked at @McDonalds when I was a student, doing french fries and ice cream. There wasn't a family relying on me to pay the bills — but that's the reality for too many workers today. Proud to stand with @SEIU today for livable wages and a safe working environment.

McDonalds should be for students trying to earn some spending money while they get work experience. It's not for supporting a family or even a single person.

Unfortunately in this modern world many kids don't get jobs until after high school or college. The current workforce participation rate is 62.7%. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CIVPART/

Much of our manufacturing workforce has been offshored over the last few decades forcing adults to displace younger people in low level jobs

Voting has consequences.

Aren't you just 'lovin it' that the media isn't biased?

She should give us her tax records from that era of her life? Right? Prove it. Such an easy claim. You made $2k, maybe and paid some taxes. I have all my taxes since 1998.

This is such an easy thing to prove. She's VP and could contact the IRS today and get the records if she didn't keep them. It's an obvious lie she could squash in hours. She's being made and played to look like a liar and is doing nothing about it. If I worked for McDonalds I'd have those tax records in the medias hands in 6 hours. I think she's giving up.

Nobody files taxes for $2K when single and child-free. Or for $13,849 for that matter. Elections are big deal but let's not go full retard over them.
