Acid-Flux January 29, 2005 Share Acid-Flux Member January 29, 2005 This is unfreaking believable 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 hour. A McDonald's media relations person in Illinois, where the corporate headquarters is based, never returned a phone call to the AP. http://www.kirotv.com/irresistible/4141075/detail.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice_Berge_00 January 29, 2005 Share Ice_Berge_00 GC Alumni January 29, 2005 I've heard of this before. I think McDonald's or some other big fast food chain announced it sometime last year. I can't believe they'd do it though, seems like such a waste. Of course when you call Tech support for major comp/software companies like microsoft you often are talking to someone in India or another country. Guess we shouldn't be surprised.
