A family was surprised to find a pipe stuffed with marijuana inside a Kids Meal box that was purchased from the Burger King in Dundee Tuesday night, police said.

Granted, not much.
It still amazes me just how silly some people are and I wonder what's the world coming to?

Only semi related but still good for a laugh:

Even McDonalds can't understand how their employees survive on their wages

McDonalds has partnered with Visa to launch a website to help its low-wage workers making an average $8.25 an hour to budget. But while the site is clearly meant to illustrate that McDonalds workers should be able to live on their meager wages, it actually underscores exactly how hard it is for a low-paid fast food worker to get by.

The site includes a sample “ budget journal” for McDonalds’ employees that offers a laughably inaccurate view of what it’s like to budget on a minimum wage job. Not only does the budget leave a spot open for “second job,” it also gives wholly unreasonable estimates for employees’ costs: $20 a month for health care, $0 for heating, and $600 a month for rent. It does not include any budgeted money for food or clothing.

lol, terrible

It's even worse than that, as apparently nobody that works in a "restaurant" is even allowed to be full time, even managers. This is so they don't have to pay for benefits. They'll let you work right up to 38 hours or so but never 40.

Plus, they pay employees with pre-paid debit cards which are then open to numerous fees they use to take money back.

This is even more disgusting than their food.

lol McJobs, etc

Why does anyone eat mcshits or work there? Fucking awful, awful "food". I haven't eaten that shit for probably more than a decade. We should just start systematically burning every fucking one of them down. Then start a branch of metal music related to it.

Furthermore, I too would require being stoned into oblivion to cope with the realities of working at the BK lounge.

During one of my many thousands of visits to Minnesota we stopped at a fast food place (I honestly can't remember what it was) and I noticed that 99% of the staff were people who should have been retired. I guess most of them were north of 70 years old. I'd easily bet my left testicle that all of them either couldn't afford to retire or - most likely - were forced out of retirement due to the laughable joke known as "retirement benefits", basically guaranteeing anyone who relies exclusively on them to be poverty stricken.

I truly felt horrible in that moment for all those people who should have been enjoying their last days, not spending them passing fake "food" packaged in paper bags to drunken and unappreciative customers.

I think my last sentence answered both your questions.

Whaat?! How is that even legal? Apparently there's fees for withdrawing money or paying stuff with it (as high as $5). There's even a fee for a balance inquiry. If you think about it, that's basically just a salary cut. They're not actually paying you the amount that's agreed on in your contract.

edit: I guess they're about to find out if it's legal through the lawsuit.

Work at McDonald's, get paid with McDonald's gift cards (but at least you get free refills, amirite?).

That's akin to paying casino employees in chips or is that fries

That's not the same, casino chips have a same dollar value that you can cash out with. You wouldn't pay anyone with chips since it's impractical, but people are known to tip their dealer with chips.

These debit cards are a little better than getting paid with coupons.
