A McDonald’s Extra Value Meal consists of a sandwich (such as a BigMac or Quarter Pounder) and a serving of fries and soft drink. I would like to know how much a small, regular and large meal costs at McDonald’s Restaurants in Australia

I’m wondering if us Americans are just getting screwed (guess cause they know Americans will just eat anything with no regard for actual nutritional value or quality) and if McDonald’s restaurants in other nations serve food that actually looks like the picture and is actually edible and won’t induce indigestion and diarrhea a few hours later. In short, does McDonalds give all their good food to other countries and give the Americans the crappy food they’re known for here?

Iran? Iraq? North Korea?

Please help? ;]

I have worked in Mcdonald’s restaurants for six years now, in that time i have worked in various company restaurants all over the uk. the first store i worked in was a company restuarant in my home town, when i went to college i moved to a different company rrestaurantand worked in the one in my home town on my term breaks. I continued to work in the company rrestaurantnear college but stopped working in the one in my home town because i was spending more time at the city where my college was. After some time the McDonald’s restaurant in my home town became a francise restaurant. I recently discovered im pregnant and moved home to be near my family, i have had an interview with the business manager of the francise restaurant in my home town and am awaiting news of whether my transfer will be granted. He has phoned my other boss in the other mcdonalds where i worked for a reference, the other boss said it sounded like “he was looking for a reason not o give me a job!” however my boss give me a glowing reference and said he should have no reason not to give me it.

Anyways all this has taken about three weeks to sort out and although i received some holiday pay from my store near to college im worried it will effect my continuous employment.

i am wondering what my rights are in terms of statuary maternity pay ? does moving from a compnay to a francise restaurant matter? and what can i do if he decides not to hire me as i fear he may have heard im pregnant because i live in a very small and gossiping town…

please help, im currently ten weeks pregnant

MARICOPA COUNTY, AZ – A raid targeting illegal immigration led to the arrests of 21 Phoenix-area McDonald’s workers Friday, and authorities were still seeking 30 other employees as part of their investigation.
Deputies armed with search warrants raided McDonald’s restaurants in Scottsdale, Tempe and Mesa Friday morning.

The McDonald’s locations include:

•McDonald’s 1516 North Hayden Road, Scottsdale
•McDonald’s 3218 South McClintock, Tempe
•McDonald’s 2130 West Southern, Mesa
•McDonald’s 1460 West Southern, Mesa
Arpaio said information developed by his deputies indicates that over 50 employees working at the businesses may be using falsified or stolen identities for the purposes of gaining employment.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says it will take more time to determine whether any of them are illegal immigrants as officials suspect.

Deputies also searched a mansion in Paradise Valley. The mansion is owned by Richard Coulston, who owns the restaurants. Coulston was not arrested.

McDonald’s Corp. referred comment to Coulston’s company, R&L Management. In a statement, the company says people shouldn’t jump to conclusions without all the facts.”The company has trained its managers and hiring personnel regarding proper hiring procedures,” Pace said. “It does not permit the hiring of employees without completing those procedures … Any individuals unable to meet the legal requirements for establishing authorization to work are not hired.”

Pace said the company was cooperating with the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Friday afternoon that McDonald’s employees had been prepped on what to do if they were raided.

Arpaio also said most employees’ records were not kept at the store, but at the Coulston’s lawyer’s office.

Arpaio said deputies were tipped off in November to the McDonald’s they raided by a caller to their illegal immigration hot line, and the tipster alleged several employees bragged about being illegal immigrants.

Deputies used government databases to identify 51 workers who appear to be illegal workers, and were looking for the 30 outstanding suspects.

County officials said if any of the workers turns out to be an illegal immigrant, it could be their fourth civil case under the employer sanctions law, which penalizes employers for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants. The law, which is more than two years old, carries license suspensions and revocations for those who knowingly make illegal hires and is designed to reduce the economic incentive for immigrants to cross the border.
