    Bank tellers are on the clock

    Followed by grocery clerks, front desk Regal Cinema workers, and insurance agents.
    I was told none of this would happen in Trump's economy.

    “McDonald’s slashed its labor force by more than 50 percent from 2013 to 2018, despite adding thousands of restaurants around the world.”

    Yet they are hiring 250k workers. Did you actually read the article?
    Defective reading skills from the queen of shills.

    Trump was talking about companies moving plants/jobs to other countries for cheap human labor. Show me where Trump wanted to penalize robots?

    Yes I did. And you’re an idiot.

    Don't ask a lib to do math. Its like asking a ditch digger to design a power grid.

    The article said they were hiring 250k and that is all that is important to him. The fact they laid off half their work force while increasing their locations means nothing to his 250K argument dog gone it. How dare you force the facts on his argument.

    He tried to pivot quickly to Trump also. Did you notice that? He got his ass handed to him and man did he pivot fast. Impressive.

    One more point, McDonalds started the layoffs in 2013 when Obama was President. The bulk of the layoffs were during his Presidency. This crazy liberal then tries to blame Trump for the layoffs that happened during the two years of his Presidency while completely missing the point that the 250k jobs McDonalds is adding are happening under Trumps successful economy.

    So blinded by hatred that he can't see reality.

    Also you'll notice how Mr. Context doesn't take into account that fast food restaurants on average have a much higher turnover rate for their employees. The fact that they are hiring 250K new employees this summer means nothing unless you can compare it to how many new employees they hire every summer. 250K might be the average they hire every summer and given the turnover rate for fast food employees it may actually be less than the replacement number.

    But Hondo is both a liar and a dipshit so of course he takes none of this into account.

    Why look at this.

    Appears McDonald's has been hiring around 250K workers for at least a couple of years.

    June 12, 2017 With summer around the corner, McDonald’s and its independent franchisees are gearing up to hire approximately 250,000 restaurant employees across the U.S.

    Look for Hondo to now run and hide like a bitch.
