Hi Linda,

Interestingly, it was Labor Day but they were working ! How ironic. By choice to some extent I agree, but who knows how the employees are scheduled. I would have loved to have heard the conversation to get all the nuance I expect your email leaves out. From both sides.

McDonalds gets those that can’t find work elsewhere. It would be the last place on my list to go to work (but I would if I had to). Might you also assume that these people are in the process of learning ? I have been in the process of learning Spanish for 15 years and still stink at it but I plod along. At an advanced age, it is not easy to do.

Think beyond the present while remembering the past.
