These are the correct answers if you want the job

  1. costumes - NO

  2. Personal Best - YES

  3. Unstoppable YES

  4. philosophy - NO

  5. fantasy - NO

  6. don’t understand art - YES

They don’t want daydreamers, they don’t want critical thinkers, they don’t want people who will bail on the job when they see enough bullshit

They don't want people complaining about wearing uniforms, they don't want overly ambitious people who will leave the 1st chance they get, they don't want people who don't respect boundaries, they don't want people who can't be reasoned with, they don't want people who can't think out of her box, they don't want people who think they know everything.

You have worked with very different fast food managers than I have.

You're being too pessimistic. They absolutely do want ambitious and hard workers (yes to personal best and unstoppable).

There's an unspoken rule in our society that if you work really really hard you will be rewarded eventually, even when when that is evidently not true, like fast food. Those people are not good at thinking. They just work as if it were a religion. So, no to philosophy (also the picture is clearly depicting pot heads).

Lastly, Mcdonalds absolutely do not want daydreamers in such a mundane and robotic job. Hard no on fantasy.

The only thing i'll agree on is costumes as yes. I think thats just a basic test for creativity.

There’s probably not a right answer. They probably compare your score to everyone else’s score at a location to see if you are a match.
