McDonald's Is Now "Outsaucing"

HERMISTON, Ore.

The McDonald's restaurant in Hermiston, Oregon appears to be "outsaucing" customers drive-thru meals.

The restaurant on Highway 395 has outsourced one of the most important jobs at the drive-through window -- order taking.

When a customer drives through, they'll be patched through to Grand Forks, North Dakota to place the order. Why? Because the minimum wage in North Dakota is $5.15, compared to Oregon's $7.25.

Tim Nesbit is head of Oregon AFLCIO. He says this undercuts Oregon's minimum wage by more than $2 an hourA McDonald's media relations person in Illinois, where the corporate headquarters is based, never returned a phone call to the AP.


The Golden Arches needs more gold so they're outsaucing their drive through orders at a Oregon McD's due to the EXCESSIVLEY high minimum wage of $7.25, that will be one McD's I won't patronize and if I find out that any McD's that I happen to drive through pratices this limpdicked measure of saving a dime, I won't fucking eat their fat-laden, crap food. Shame on their penny pinching tight assholes, fuck that shit and you can supersize that. Thanks.
