McDonalds Litter.

[s.varty]

Some good has come from McDonalds the Ronald McDonald charity has helped a lot of families.

 

Just educate the scrotes about dropping the litter, Car reg sounds like a good idea.

 

Good post:thumbup1: I was once sitting at traffic lights in London,next to me was a lady sitting at a bus stop eating a chocolate bar, right in front of her was a litter bin,when she finished eating she threw the wrapper on the floor. You cant blame mcdonalds for their wrapping messing the streets. Excellent idea about the number plate

The charity housing for parents of sick children at hospital's is the best thing about macdonalds IMO, just ask little green woodchoper, its where he and his wife are stopping while Fred is in hospital.

My sister in law works for them as a food technologists working out just how crap they're food is, just put the reg no.idea to her as the tek is in place as it's on your receipt for if you get sent to wate for your meal so the spotty oik knows who to bring it too so wouldn't take a lot to put it on wrapping. Boils my piss seeing people dump litter like that!!!

I commented earlier about another members dislike of US Corporations, Mc Donald's included and in actuality the amount of trash left behind at any fast food restaurant or convenience store location is really disgusting. My first job was working at a McDonald's

and generally most employees dreaded keeping the lobby or parking lot clean.

Bottom line people around the world can be really big pigs when it comes to trash, not cleaning up after them selfs. Definitely people that litter have little or no regard for them selfs and sadly are a by product of their own environment.

O and by the way Ronald McDonald house charities are really big deal here and I am very proud to hear that a fellow member has been able to seek help from this fine organization.

Whats amazing is they put all their food n drink empties in a carrier bag,tie a knot in it,then lob that lot out of the car.

I chased some little scrotes down the road in a tractor in my younger and stupider days after they chucked all the crap out of the window into my bosses fields. They got to the end of the farm road and straight out onto the main road without looking. Good job as I wasn't going to stop- it would have been an 'accident' on a private road they had no right to be on.

 

The reg number idea is genius- a little sticker on every bit of food. Unfortunately the 0.5p cost of doing this on every meal will have a huge effect on McDonald's bottom line, so unless they can justify it with the savings on employing litter pickers (which they are very good about in their car parks to be fair) then I don't expect anything will happen.

 

I still wouldn't eat their crap though

I have a dislike of a lot of large corporations, for the way they treat their suppliers, the way they treat their workers on the ground level, for their brain-washing advertising, for the goods/services they supply and last but not least for the local taxes they don't pay.

The American corporations take a particularly aggressive stance to anyone who dares to criticise them, quite often to the point of critics being homeless and being made bankrupt.

The endless stories emanating from the US with regards to the largest company in the world, Walmart, are particularly shocking and having been going on for decades. Monsanto is another company who will stop at nothing in promoting their gm crop seeds. Is it right that they can be the only supplier of seeds in third world countries to poor farmers who grows his crop of rice or whatever but then has to buy more seed again every year due to the fact that any seed kept back to grow next year's crop will be sterile. These farmers don't have any choice where they buy their seed as there will only be one supplier in their area. These are people who are barely managing to keep themselves and their family alive from year to year. Last year there was a ninety minute documentary on the Discovery Channel on Monsanto and their likes, about how they treated people in the US and how they are all tied up with the politicians and the White House.

In 1995 there was the famous 'McLibel' trial. McDonalds sued two people, Helen Steel and David Morris, for libel after they criticized them. The trial lasted for 2 1/2 years and the two defendants were denied legal aid even though they were just two ordinary people. McDonalds tried every dirty tick in the book to win and the single Judge, Mr Justice Bell found them not guilty. In fact, the verdict was devastating for McDonalds.

" The judge ruled that they 'exploit children' with their advertising, produce 'misleading' advertising, are 'culpably responsible' for cruelty to animals, are 'antipathetic' to unionisation and pay their workers low wages. But Helen and Dave failed to prove all the points and so the Judge ruled that they HAD libelled McDonald's and should pay 60,000 pounds damages. They refused and McDonald's knew better than to pursue it. In March 1999 the Court of Appeal made further rulings that it was fair comment to say that McDonald's employees worldwide "do badly in terms of pay and conditions", and true that "if one eats enough McDonald's food, one's diet may well become high in fat etc., with the very real risk of heart disease."

You can read the full story on this website The McLibel Trial

To look behind the companies' public face, the one they want you to see, you can check the facts out here Corporate Watch : Homepage : Latest News from Corporate Watch and here CorpWatch*:*Index Reading Private Eye can also keep you informed about what they are up to. Some people call me cynical and negative, I like to think that I am well informed and don't accept advertising blurbs and press releases at face value.

There are many ways you can run a business and I realise that you have to make a profit to survive and develop and to make progress. Thank goodness that the majority of companies aren't run and promoted like some of these examples and others on the websites.

BTW I am not anti-American, Easy-Lift Guy, I have relatives in the US and there are many fine and honourable companies in the States, some of whom I do business with. There are plenty of UK companies who have a track record which is abysmal and continue to get away with it due to corrupt politicians and a corrupt system.

I have probably taken up too much space to reply but I feel that in order to give a proper reply that I can back up my post with hard facts.

When I rule the world my first act will be to make Muckdonalds illegal and if anyone wanted to blow up their places with dynamite they would get it free of charge! That's how much I hate them. BTW you could add coca cola and Disney and any other American corporation as well.
