Internet pranksters are trolling presidential-hopeful Donald Trump by leaving bad reviews for the McDonald's he briefly worked at during a photo opportunity on Sunday.

The Republican candidate put in a short shift on the fries station and in the drive-thru window at restaurant in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania. But the move seems to have riled some online jokers, who have since targeted the venue with reviews mocking Trump's performance.

One reviewer, Karen S, gave a one-star review, writing: "Customer service was a joke. Senile old man got bronzer on my fries, didn't wear gloves."

I knew it wasn't real because mcdonald's wouldn't hire or let someone with 34 felonies work in their restaurant.

[-] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago

I love how he said "Kamala, she said it's so hot" in a condescending tone.

As a former employee (few decades ago), who worked every shift and every non-manager position, the fry station is the hottest station to work at in my opinion. I could work the grill all day, but I'd be dying at fries. Would love to see him do a full 8-hour shift.

Also he's out of uniform. And he's a non-employee so he shouldn't be back there working with food.

I make fries just at home even and it's brutal I couldn't even imagine doing it in a commercial kitchen

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

I don't see a crew chief running an SoC on that station. Did he use the patented hammer-like motion to salt the quardapunbers?

Feel free to let MCDs know how this franchise stunt makes you feel: https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/feedback.html

What's the store number? Anyone know?

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago

Sure why not. Submitted.

Is this a narcissism thing? The lies and acting are comically bad. It's mindboggling that he would pose with fries handed to him, served to no actual paying customer, and proceed to speak as if he now has proper experience among the working class.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 31 points 8 hours ago

And that's all because they're convinced Kamala lied about working at McDonald's, because she didn't include the job she worked as a teenager in a later resume (because nobody puts their summer jobs on there).

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 26 points 7 hours ago

"Worked" is not accurate. "Stopped at for a staged photo-op" would be.

[-] don@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago

McTrumpald’s stock price has taken a bit of a hit, it seems. Down by a little over 2$ today. Should start to see the cons try to rally pretty soon, I’d guess.

[-] Glide@lemmy.ca 107 points 10 hours ago

If he's going to lie about working a McDonald's, I don't blame people for lying about the (non-existant) service.

A photo-op in a closed McDonald's isn't a "job," Donny. Though, since you've never had one, I can understand how you failed to make the distinction.

Am I the only one who just liked how the orange color fits him?

So much good meme potential…

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 44 points 10 hours ago

Lol fucking classic. Well deserved. Fuck this franchise owner as well. They deserve all the bad press.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 24 points 9 hours ago

Don't you think he looks tired.

[-] Album@lemmy.ca 30 points 10 hours ago

The first real job this loser has ever had

[-] asexualchangeling@lemmy.ml 4 points 5 hours ago

15 minutes at a closed store for a photo op does not a job make.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 24 points 8 hours ago

Definitely not. That count is still zero, and very firmly so.

The store wasn't even open while he was there.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 minutes ago

If it had been, it would have been multiple health and employment violations.

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

This is so funny how this stunt is blowing up in his face! Wonder who's getting "Fired" for the idea? Prank reviews, failed last health insinspection, store was actually closed....what's next?

[-] theterrasque@infosec.pub 8 points 5 hours ago

Blowing up? Seen conservative discussion areas? Their godking is not only one of the working class now, but he owned all the democrats and made Harris look like a fool. He's a master troll doing 4d chess!

[-] havocpants@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago

Ah, the pigeon chess approach, not surprised really.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 23 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

🎵He got that ambition baby— look at his eyes— This week he mopping floors, next week it’s the fries.

Now I’m not saying he a gold digger, but he usin’ Elon to buy the vote da’ vote…🎵

He's working for 15 minutes so that he can now legally retire.

There was ketchup dripping down the wall…

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

What is a „short shift“ in minutes?

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

For everyone: 480 minutes

For Trump: 15 minutes
