How Not to Apply for a Job at McDonalds

This is almost one of those jokes you hear in a late night comedy club…”A man goes into a bar….”

Only in this case, a man goes into McDonald’s to apply for a job.  The hiring manager explains he can fill out the application online.  The man doesn’t want to fill out the application online, so he pulls a gun and demands a paper application.  While the moron is filling out out, the hiring manager wisely calls the police who arrest the guy.  I guess, no job.

According to the story on Wavy.com…”Monroe walked into the McDonald’s restaurant across from Scope last Wednesday and asked the manager for an application. After the manager explained twice that applications were submitted online, Monroe lifted his shirt, revealing a gun tucked in his waistband, Amos said.

Amos said the manager asked Monroe to have a seat while she retrieved a paper application, but instead called 911.

Monroe was sitting at a table inside the restaurant when officers arrested him without incident. He was charged with brandishing a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct — all misdemeanors.”
