The floor gets very greasy and slick. I can only hope.

I didn’t work at McDonalds, but at Burger King being put on the fry machine means you are the weakest worker. There’s literally nothing you do for several minutes until the timer goes off and you pull the fries out of the grease and dump them out. Of course they’d put him on that.

so maybe don't get too disparaging.

I'm sure that is why he and his minders are trying to get him set up for that particular photo op. Not sure what the political message would be otherwise. "I can cosplay as a fast-food employee!" is no more convincing than Vanky going to an economic summit and cosplaying as a businesswoman. (Though I acknowledge the huge "some of us are real working women" thought bubble above Angela Merkel's head was only in my mind.)

Let’s see if he can remember what goes where. bun, patty, cheese, lettuce, pickles, mustard, ketchup or the other way around?

Thats a cognitive test for you.

Their employment requirements won't allow it.

To get a job at McDonald's, you'll need to meet the following requirements:
Be at least 16 years old
Have a positive attitude
Be willing to learn and grow
Be able to work in a fast-paced team environment
