McDonalds doesn't want long term employees.  They don't get them.  Usually,
they just grow up and new ones come in.  No shortage of getting ones that
will keep the company mindset.  But, I'll admit, the sales tactics don't
bother me as much as some economy minded jerk manager or supervisor subverting
the rules that McDonalds sets down to provide the (perpaps mimimal) quality
standards that they have.  If McD says toss the burgers after 10 minutes
and the coffee after 30, they ought to do it.
