  1. I mean how old was she at the time.. 15? 16?

    I worked at KFC when I was that age. Clearly she had bigger ambitions becoming a prosecutor and hopefully the president.

  2. I’m sorry but **FUCK YES**. We need more politicians who actually know what it’s like to have a drunk 33-yo scream at you because their burger took 2 minutes instead of 1.

  3. And JD will be the 2nd candidate to ever work at a McD’s cause that’s where his ass is going after this

  4. Given how McDonald’s has been a symbol of America, I don’t see this as an issue.

    Did Trump ever work in a service job?

  5. So basically she had to work her way up, just like most people.

  6. Neat! McDonald should frame her photo in every restaurant to serve as inspiration for all workers.

  7. ‘First woman president? Boring! First ex-McDonald employee president? Now we’re talking!’ – media

  11. So many defensive comments here! The article isn’t negative. Relax.

  12. Wait. First she was Asian, then she became black, and now she worked at McDonald’s?!

    She needs to get her story straight jfc

  14. I think it’d be good for any public leader to endure working in a chain location of a retail, restaurant or service megabrand at some point in their life. Experience the mind-numbing tasks, the off location management from above, the ridiculous positions local managers are put into and regularly putting employees into. Really, everyone should have some working idea what corporate nonsense chain location systems are.

  15. Trump make history as the first president to never work

  16. Headline makes it sound like she’ll work there *while* being President.

  18. I know the economy is rough and we all need multiple jobs, but seriously I can’t imagine how she’ll have time to do both given how McDonald’s will require her to keep her schedule open for odd shift hours

  19. I’m pretty sure Mitt Romney owned some McDonalds. So we were close that time ….

  20. Fwiw, Hired two kids with McDonald’s on their resume’. Best workers we have

  21. This is where Trump can’t make fun of her. He loves McDonald’s

  22. I think the title should say “…to have worked at McDonald’s” but maybe that’s because I’m a native English speaker. 

  25. If anyone got pics, that would be quite a visual to pin side by side with Trump growing up in a golden mansion having the world handed to him.

  26. 80% of the population has worked at a McDonald’s. I read that and sampled random customers at the bar I was at and it was spot on.

  28. We need more leaders who know what it means to fill in a fucking timesheet. Way too many come from money and think about the working class like some kind of theoretical concept

  29. She’s worked in food service and Halz worked in a high school. If anything they are overqualified for their roles. No wonder Trump and his cronies are scared of them.

  30. She would be the first in many things. First black woman, first woman, first Asian, first Asian woman.

  31. In related news, Donald Trump became the first president in history to eat the entire inventory of a McDonald’s.

  32. Well at least she knows the grind maybe she could make things fairer

  33. Hell yeah. I too worked at McDonald’s. Represent. ✌️

  34. I’m 45. And this is the first time politicians have ever been remotely relatable. Seize the moment. This could be a seismic change. These people are truly next generation.

  35. Walz was a teacher. What a combo of normal people. Let’s do this

  36. 13% of Americans have worked there at some point, thats wild i had no idea it was so high

  40. Dang, I was hoping she’d go straight to the Oval Office on January 21, but oh well.

  42. Okay, that statistic seems *wild* to me. 13% of Americans have worked at a McDonald’s at some point in their lives? *Specifically* McDonald’s, not just fast food? I’m just checking because that seems insane to me.

    Anyway, putting that aside, just another stark contrast between her and Mr. Born-with-a-silver-spoon-shoved-up-his-ass.

  43. My first job was at McDonald’s. Maybe one day I can be president.

  44. Trump is the first president who consists of mostly McDonalds.

  46. Obama worked for Baskin-Robbins, Harris worked for McDonalds. Seems like a good sign when our leaders know what it’s like to be at the bottom when they make it to the top.
