This is gonna get memed so hard, I am not sure this is worth the visual. This could run right up there with classroom potato misspellings and enthusiastic tank rides.

If he did work the fryer, I hope his stupid ass forgets to take off that long necktie and it gets dipped in the grease.

(121,375 posts)Are they going to try to lure him there with the promise of all the Big Macs he can eat, then hope he doesn't bail when he finds out he's expected to simulate working at a peasant's job?

(2,344 posts)I have to wonder if he's actually been IN a kitchen in the last seventy years.
Also, will they have to sterilize the place after he leaves? I can imagine his stench permeating the food.
duncang
(3,722 posts)Them having to talk to him like a 5 year old. I wonder if he will drop the plastic bag and all into the fryer. Id also bet thats the first thing he has ever cooked. I wonder how he will handle putting the salt on. Shake once sir, shake again sir. Then he will say a big strong man with tears in his eyes said that was the best fries ever made and gave him his cooks apron.

2. burns the food.
3. orders someone to do it for him, because he doesn't know how.
proud patriot
(101,201 posts)the fryer is timed and beeps .
I agree that he is likely to burn himself.
sakabatou
(43,219 posts)The oil itself can't be cooled at all until near closing. So either the basket has to automatically move, or the cook has to move the basket manually.
proud patriot
(101,201 posts)basket movement is manual with your hands
sakabatou
(43,219 posts)I'd definitely fail McD's training. There's too much extraneous information for my brain to process.

Attilatheblond
(4,499 posts)Seems unlikely he will pull an entire grueling 30 minute shift. He'll have camera crew waiting and be there ONLY as long as it takes for 2 soundbites for a video, and 5 or so still photos.

(2,528 posts)if I saw an old man I knew had a full diaper on working behind the counter around food, I would head out the door and find another fast food joint. I seriously doubt trump washes his hands after he cleans the orange goo from his face off them in the morning. They are soap-free the rest of the day.

no_hypocrisy
(49,142 posts)Under local and state food preparation/sanitation laws, I don't see how he's allowed near a fryer.
You have to wear certain clothes/uniforms that the company provides to protect food from contamination.
You have to cleanse your hands thoroughly and wear protective gloves.
Not to mention, even trainees need more than a few minutes of orientation before they're put online.
I don't see how unless McDonald's is going to throw away any fries he makes and the oil.

And McDonald's gonna let him handle their fries.
With his tiny diaper-pooped hands.
There is nothing good for them in this stunt.

"he may find himself jumping out of the frying pan into the fire"
