I actually worked at McDonalds when I was in High School. I never looked at it as a career path or thought they owed me anything more than minimum wage. I learned a lot. One of the things I learned was that the vast majority of McDonalds are not part of the corporation but are actually franchises owned by families or partnerships that usually only have a few locations. The owner of the one I worked at worked there in the store every day and since he really liked the job I did keeping the place clean I did that quite a lot. He trusted me enough to leave me in the store overnight by myself to do all the after hours equipment maintenance and cleaning. I think about that a lot. That store was his everything and he trusted 17 year old me to take care of it so I did. He was one of the first people in my life to ever think I was worth anything.
I am SO glad the cackling stopped!!!
