However, in such a busy restaurant setting, sometimes mistakes do happen and if that's ever the case, the restaurant manager will be happy to rectify the situation on the spot. (August 2007)

No. An independent academic conducted an anonymous research project amongst McDonald's staff and their friends and family. It concluded that a McDonald's job is 'rewarding, stimulating and fun'.

-
All McDonald's UK rates of pay are reviewed each year in light of external market competitiveness, internal comparability and National Minimum Wage legislation. Like many other retailers, McDonald's pays a lower starting rate to crew members aged under 18 - currently, £4.00 per hour compared to £4.25 for crew members aged 18 - 21. All McDonald's UK employees are paid the appropriate wage at or above the government's minimum wage. Currently less than 17 percent of hourly paid employees are on national minimum wage.
