I worked as a "fry cook" at McDonald's when I was 14 years old. At 14. It's not a difficult job at all, but can be stressful when it's very busy.

He'll likely empty a bag of frozen fries into a container, lower the container into the vat, take it out, salt them, then fill a couple boxes to get his pathetic photo op.

Wait! I think I’ve seen this one already! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_TPQkDjSM

This means absolutely nothing until he has to work there 40 hours a week for at least 5 years for bare minimum survival, with no cameras, no medical care, and he has to live in a homeless shelter because he doesn't earn enough to afford rent for the cheapest apartment.

Haha he will actually die this weekend of a heart attack and a brain aneurysm. That kind of attention will bring the customers. He will either have to commit and look like a fool or he'll bail out and look like a fool and a coward.

It is not easy work.

I'm betting he will step in the kitchen, hold onto the basket, get one photo and leave

Everyone knows back line is where the action is. Fries are for the special kids who can't do anything else.

I worked at MC Donald's in the past and was way out of my league the first couple days.

If he really decides to do it, I bet he will look extremely out of place, even if he only does the fries.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

He really is trying to take a 15 year old's job; I wonder what he'll do when the fryer is overheated and it shuts off. Not too many employees even know what to do then, so assuming that fry cook is easy would probably be laughable, not to mention I'm willing to bet Kamala knows how to fix those fryers too.

I hope he doesn't fall in. All that orange makeup might contaminate the food.
