McDonald's quite alright pay now, apparently employers are keen to employ McDonald's employee as they are trained well thus better skills and so can be more prepared for other jobs.

I haven't worked at KFC so I'm not really sure, but it seems a more harsher work than McDonald's.

I've also heard that maccas is recognised to train people well.. Also, i have a mate who works at KFC and he gets some hell hectic working hours.. i have no idea why he does it.. I sit next to him in english and he falls asleep in class soooo often.. And besides, i've worked at maccas for 3 years and 3 weeks (to be precise) and i think its a wonderful job :) It's just like hanging out with friends most the time, except sometimes you have to do a little work while you talk :p

Definitely Maccas. Like people said above its better pay and nationally recognised training. I currently work at Maccas getting $9.31 (alright for a 16 year old) and my friend, who is 15, is getting around $6.50 at KFC.

Maccas is not that bad - you get to bludge heaps and muck around, although you do sometimes have a lot of customers all at once.

If you want, I can post the link to the minimum pay for each age group for Maccas - although the pay has gone up since it was created.

Choose whichever one you're least lilkely to eat takeout from.

They say once you start working and observing the food preparation behind the scenes, it really turns you off the fast food store.

I've heard that happens to quite a few people, I was the opposite though.

I'm a manager at maccas so I get it for free. I'm also a uni student so any food I eat I pay for and cook myself. The result is maccas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every day (with the occasional kebab from across the road ;))

I've worked in maccas and i dont like it at all. Maybe because i worked in one of branches in the city and it's rarely bludgy. Training is okay. The managers in my branches werent that nice either, they tell you off for the oddest things. :mad1: Maybe it's different in non- city branches, but then it's harder to get in.

If your gonna work at KFC, dont work out back. You'll come home everyday covered in an inch thick layer of grease, flour, and chicken blood.

Wtf indeed :rofl:

Dude you have to lower your cholesterol & fried food intake.
Anyway, Maccas is perhaps the way to go, in KFC I pity the people who work there....it's like packing a supermarket shelf into bags (Esp for 4+ Families)
