Certain places cater to our children, they sell products designed to captivate our kids, or edibles designed to take over their appetites. Due to their being marketed so intently towards our children, we have become naive to the fact that they are not really interested in our children.
Let's face it, A Happy Meal isn't really all that healthy, despite the countless Ronald McDonald commercials and the outdoor playlands which tend to make us think McDonalds is all about kids. Nope, the Golden Arches are golden for a reason, and it has more to do with the bottom line then the 6 years olds running around wondering what toys is in their sack.
For years, we've willingly overlooked the Unhealthy Meals and the dirty tables, because after all- it's really not THAT bad and besides, we make sure our children are fed healthy meals 99% of the time... and okay honestly- THE KIDS LOVE THE PLACE. Perhaps though, if it's not the meals that will make you second think that next visit to the drive through, this will:
One mistake, one McDonald's out of Millions, right? Well, then how about this one, where it turned out the molester ended up receiving a promotion after molesting the victims.
There's more... a lot more. Either link will provide even more related articles on the subject.
I understand the need for sex offenders to be employed, I really do. However, McDonalds?? I don't care how many salads they make... it's still a kids place. And one that shouldn't be doubling as shopping grounds for pervert employees.
I want to be fair though, after all- I'm nothing if not completely FAIR when it comes to perverts. Perhaps McDonald is taking a lesson in "who to hire" from it's business partner, WALMART. You know, the Supercenter Store which usually has a nice McDonalds tucked right into it somewhere. After all, Walmart likes to hire these creeps too. And then they attempt to duck out of lawsuits brought on after their beloved employees molest children of the customers.
I can only suggest that you trade up next time you are running around picking up lunch with the kids on the way to buy a few toys. Perhaps Burger King, and Toys R Us might make better destinations.

"They would allow Nicholas to be the one out in the lobbying with the kids, set up the little bowling alley for the kids, sing on karaoke with the kids," he recalls.
That despite the fact that Aloyo was listed right on Tennessee's sex offender registry for anyone to see.
[...]
In fact, if managers at the McDonald's had driven two miles to the courthouse and pulled Aloyo's file, they would have found a report that describes a troubled history of misconduct with children as young as 10.
The report also says that, prior to his conviction, Aloyo had been fired from three other jobs for "inappropriate sexual comments" to employees and customers.
That's why he was rated a "high risk" and ordered not to accept employment in contact with minors.

The boys say, at their first job, they were molested.
"I wanted to have a first job where I could look back on it and actually be able to tell people what my first job was like," Adam says. "Now I just can't do that."
Abbie Sutherlin's son, Mark, was also 15 -- and working at the same McDonald's in Hillsborough, New Jersey -- when one day he broke the news.
"He told us that he had been molested by his boss," Sutherlin recalls.
"You think your child is safe. You think he's OK. And then you find out, boy were you wrong."
Their boss was 20-year-old assistant manger Joshua Diaz.
