Whitecourt McDonalds active member and contributor to it's people and heritage

Whitecourt, Alberta

The Whitecourt McDonalds which is open 24 hours and located in the out-of-town area up the hill is open at all times. It has fueled the appetites and leisurely activity of this town for many years - it has become a part of our heritage. It boasts an employee roster of over 80 employees and an impressive bureaucratic arrangement designed to combat the apprehensiveness that many employees have at showing up and doing their job all the time. Initially you are hired for a rate that is above minimum wage, which is good for younger employees, as they are mostly assigned clerical tasks and are thereby encouraged.

"The average person tends to either scoff at this job or really dislike it, or else work to the disadvantage of other employees by being given seniority" claims one worker who does not dislike the job. "It has it's good points, though and I can't hate them all because I like some" the employee pointed out, "Because I work like a slave, they don't really mind my not showing up there" he stated.

I asked him what they did in the way of disciplinary action, the employee said "They don't pay you and they cut your hours and assign you the most work, but a hard-working employee like myself really doesn't worry and usually shows up.". This is a sharp contrast to the negative attention it has received in the media and from various organizations designed purely to oppose it.

"They never learned the lesson that humanity in general should; you cannot eliminate anything that people will buy on such a large scale - even things attacked by the judicial and legislative systems are at the mercy of the ones that make them up and to a lesser extent, those that come into conflict with the ones tasked with enforcing the law; those people are represented by leaders they don't necessarily like but mostly don't oppose. They have the freedom of peaceably coexisting, which they choose over anarchy. Since people generally try and avoid fighting each other, they usually agree with each other and come into conflict with different people with different agreements against their will and that right there is what we call a demographic and the reason for wars" A professor of Sociology explained,
"It also takes into consideration non-human threats like extra-terrestrials and the elements. You think I'm the only one that knows this? If I was there would be nobody that gained power over others by opposing it." he finished, at a lecture this reporter has declined to record.

Opposition is touted as being the object of censorship, but while that might not be politically correct, it's the logical solution to dealing with these small-timers. Laws that are designed at maintaining individual freedom are at the mercy of those individuals they protect, should they not choose to uphold the freedoms these laws protect. lots of people don't, but there are some that do and most people have nothing to fear, because most people cannot be amassed together without there being a risk of a massive mutiny against those systems, the system-builders therefore cannot afford to co-operate without risking being overthrown.

That would be a legitimate and logical reason for no co-operating or communicating. McDonald's does not solicit the dissemination of literature during working hours, but that doesn't stop people from leaving a newspaper there daily. It does not permit for a workers union to form either, which is usually not a problem since individuals rarely try and form unions and the employees are diverse enough and from as wide a demographic as possible that they would never disagree and are decentralized. if they centralized at all then they would no longer be as valuable or numerous as individuals and they either hate the work or each other or don't do it at all. It would be foolish to hate your job and make things difficult unnecessarily, which is why it's necessary to simply make it more difficult or grin and bear it. That's a solution that works for everyone.

Whatever some people may think, others won't pay negativity any heed and continue to eat there for low-prices paying lowly paid workers that are enjoying those freedoms of decision and choice involved. This is a paradox of course, but everything has an opposite and they attract or oppose the concept or idea of there being 'one', by definition of them being individual units that must be measured as one but cannot if you measure them; because they aren't really all the same or all different even. I would make my children work here to show them this lesson and for them to learn it instead of making a mistake later on, I know full well humanity cannot be trusted - I rob all of my customers. said one executive.

At least he was honest towards the ignorance of the mass-consciousness and how society thrives not on that being a lie, rather as an advantage over illiterate masses who never learn it in their lives or thrive on it's knowledge. That's why knowledge is power and why we are a society of knowledge: it would not be the information age without any or all of this information. It would certainly not be power if everybody knew it. Some people realize this and dream of being more like the animal species in co-habitation without realizing that it's because we know this that we're able to beat animals of prey, which our ancestors had developed based on information and techniques which became unneccesary as time went on and newer as better, more efficient and knowledgeable people were created. This is...powerful information which you make a rule of not sharing that I broke, so make it useful.
