Trump today and MAGA still claiming Harris never worked at McDonald’s

[Anonymous]

McDonalds corporate wouldn't have any employee records from franchisees.

And the franchisees wouldn't keep any of those records after 5 or so years.

McDonald’s corporate statement today says they have no record of her working there.

This what people dumb enough to think Trump and Biden are fit to be POTUS focus on- who did or didn't work at McDonald's 40 years ago.

80 year old people shouldn't be POTUS. Who did or didn't work at Mickey Ds 40 years ago doesn't matter

I worked at a Sonic Drive In for a summer in college.

Early in my career (as a lawyer) I mentioned this in an interview when I was asked about work ethic -- I said I'd been working since I was 14 and had a strong drive to work and do my job well no matter what it was. They asked for examples of the kind of work I'd done as a teen and I mentioned working the drive thru at Sonic along with babysitting and working as a receptionist in a law office.

One of the women interviewing me said "do you have evidence of these jobs? How do we know you actually did this stuff?" I was a bit taken aback because the idea of lying in an interview was very foreign to me -- I'm from a religious middle class midwestern family and that honestly had never occurred to me.

I got the job and later realized after working with that woman that the reason she didn't believe me is that she was from a very privileged coastal upbringing and the idea of having a kind of menial low-wage job as a teen sounded made up to her -- something a character in a novel would do but not something actual people did in real life.

A lot of elites (like Trump) are really sheltered and don't realize how much other people work. I've had literally dozens of jobs in my life. I've never not worked except my first year of law school when I wasn't allowed to. People from money and who have parents who don't believe kids should work at all don't understand.

Anyway I 100% believe Harris worked at a McDonald's as a teen. That's a very typical job for someone with her background who needs cash -- easy to get with steady hours and if you have a decent attitude it's not a terrible job.

This doesn't mean she didn't work there or that's she's lying. They literally said they don't have records of all employees from the 80's and 90's. Why would they? Those would be paper records from thousands of franchises. How would they even start going through them, if they existed?

So sick of you MAGA who can't even read and spread misinformation.

Where did they say that? It's not in the statement tweeted.

McDonald's likes to list the celebrities who have worked for them. That they are not claiming Harris is telling.

I’m sure the retail chains that I worked for 40 years couldn’t say the same. I also can’t prove I worked there, but I did, and never had a single one of my rental jobs on my resume straight out of college.

I agree with this to some point. That said, I’d be able to dredge up some old coworkers/managers etc who remembered me if I had resources and tried hard enough and cared enough to do so (I’m 47). Or even an old photo? Or friends vouching for her? My high school & college friends definitely knew where I worked and visited me at work at times. I wonder why she doesn’t do that- because it sure would make Trump look foolish (and would be a headline at least for a day).

That said, this whole issue is dumb.

She had a job application out of college that said list all jobs and this was left out. She claimed she was working the job while in college. Lately on the campaign trail she has shifted to talking about her husband winning employee of the month at McDonalds.

FWIW The social security administration says on their website that they can provide copies of W2 forms all the way back to 1978…

That resume was for a legal job and there was no reason to list a McDonald’s job on there. Anyone who has actually had a crappy summer job during college would never list it if they had four or five more relevant jobs, which is what were on there. I worked at People’s for years in high school and college and never put it on a resume after I got my first job after that.

She almost certainly would not have worked for McDs directly. She would have worked for a random franchise. Which may or (mostly likely 40 years later) may not still exist. In which case, it’s just like any other small company that went under, or stopped doing business.

I’m a lawyer and have applied to 3 Bars. These are ginormous applications that requires listing all jobs ever held. I did my best, but like Harris, I had a job at a Mom and Pop Hallmark franchise that went under 6-8 years before my first bar and I was unable to provide contact info. And none of the Bars I sat for cared. There were tax records that I had worked for Our Cards, LLC or whatever, but in the end, I attested that the generic LLC was a card store franchise, that I paid my taxes, that I wasn’t fired for cause, etc. which is all that mattered. No one carded whether I ran a cash register selling greeting cards vs hamburgers vs groceries.

Harris apparently listed McDs as a job on the bar application when she was in her 20s. There is a record of her doing a minimum wage job. She says it was a McDs franchise. IDK why anyone cares whether it was a McDs franchise vs a Taco Bell Franchise vs a movie theater. It was some sort of minimum wage, low skill and first job. And she has certainly had oppo research done on her and no one found a reason to believe she lied. It’s also hard to see the motivation to lie in the 1980s— that she might one day, 35 years in the future, run for POTUS and need those specific blue collar bona fides? Seriously? If she was caught lying on a bar application, she wouldn’t be allowed to sit for the bar exam/ would lose her license. Which is a great motivation to be truthful.

Given that she worked some sort of minimum wage job, which is documented, what exactly is the allegation? That she was really a cashier at Food Lion but lied and put her law license at risk because McDs was such a boost to her resume.

This is the dumbest “scandal” ever. Which given that Trump is involved is saying something. But you go ahead an imagine a conspiracy theory that involved her lying to cover up for the fact she actually worked at Burger King.

Which McDonald's did she work at? At least, in which city? We don't even have that much detail.

You're just proving the point that MAGAs can't read. It's literally in the tweet PP quoted, and the OP.

If it was just a resume sure. Instead this one said list all jobs. It was only from a few years ago at that point.

And if Harris had lied on her bar application, she wouldn’t be allowed to sit for the bar/ would lose her bar license. Seems like a big risk to take to convince us she worked at McDs. She definately worked a low skills/entry level teenage, minimum wage job. If you weren’t so busy creating conspiracies nd there was no eocidjece she was fired, embezzled, etc would you actually care what that job was? Does your vote turn own whether she worked at McDonalds vs Home Depot vs DQ when she was 16?
