Mid 80’s near Howard University, apparently.
It’s difficult to prove she never worked there which is what the Trump campaign is doing for some reason so that’s dumb.
But almost equally dumb is she can name the building and rough dates and it takes only one person to go, “Yeah, I remember her. She was alright. What’s she up to now?”
That would never be enough for Trump and his supporters. “They’re lying! They’re being paid by the Democrats to say that!”
I’ve had 8 jobs total: 1 retail; 1 museum guide; 1 university TA; 1 law summer job; 3 articling student jobs; 1 full-time law job.
I know the names of each of my bosses except the TA position. Retail boss is dead; two museum bosses have moved on to other positions, but I’ve googled them and could contact them; the summer law job bosses are still around and retired, but I know how to contact them; two of the three articling bosses are still around (I met one in the local deli just the other day, and worked on a file with the other one a couple of years ago) but the third is dead; and I’m still at the other law job and could contact my bosses there easily.
Maybe law jobs are different than what people are discussing here.
Are you referring to Kamala Harris? Because I believe the McDonald’s Restaurant in question was in the Bay Area, near her family home and the job was in the summer between college years.
I hope so, I know I sure did.your sister also those older dementia patient a better, gentler, more peaceful journey towards their ultimate fate as well, no less important than for babies IMHO.
Do you have any idea how many kids worked at a DC McDonalds near a college campus? It must be thousands and then if you find one who remembers her, they’ll just tell another lie for you to disprove. The next thing you know, every week of news coverage is dominated by Golden Archesgate.
I have a photo right here, I say right here, of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez not tending bar.
Do we even know how many owners it has gone through, how many managers or even how many times it has been gutted and rebuilt?
I had many jobs, the formal ones starting in the very late 80s,
I’d expect people to remember me from the casino if I needed to prove it, but things like grocery warehouse I worked in, my cleaning at the university, the aluminium warehouse…I’d be very surprised were I to be able to prove it.
The corner store I worked in my teens - could likely prove it, but only because it was a very very small community, and my school mates from the time should remember me working there…
I hope she becomes president and releases a McDonald’s paystub the same day Trump reports to prison.
Someone else already pointed out that it would be weird if she was lying. So I’ll take it the next step: what evidence is there that she did lie?
Without any such evidence, I argue the reasonable person would assume she did. It’s not an extraordinary claim at all.
And if if was false, it would have likely come up earlier when she first started mentioning it, when it would have been easier to prove false.
The whole reason it’s being said now is that it’s been 40 years, making it harder to prove.
People, if she was employed there she filed a W-2.
She was issued a W-2?
Sure, but I doubt she still has a copy of it, if she wanted to prove that she worked there.

…Your sister also gave those older dementia patients a better, gentler, more peaceful journey towards their ultimate fate as well, no less important than for babies.
So? Let the people making the claim she lied prove it. It’s not like she claimed she was the best baseball player in New York State, she worked at a fast food place in college.
Are they? I’ve heard conflicting info on that, including that for some data they only hold ten years.
Supposedly it was in Alameda. I worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda a couple of years after her. There were I believe three in town at the time. By my day two were corporate, one was a franchise on the Naval Air Station. I started at a corporate store but shortly after I was hired that was then sold to the franchisee that held that NAS location. I’m pretty sure the third went franchise sometime thereafter and the NAS one eventually closed, probably when the base did.
Like I said she was before my time (she’s a few years older than me) and I don’t know which of the three she worked at. But I’m pretty confident zero would exist as a record from those days, especially as she was just one more short-term summer employee and ownership changed over at least once if not more times since.
Republican candidate: I was #1 in everything I’ve ever done
Republican voters: He speaks the truth! It is sacrilege to doubt him!
Democratic candidate: I worked at McDonalds decades ago
Republican voters: Liar! Prove it! Show your tax records, payroll slips, security footage, employee contract, and interviews with coworkers and your manager!
I worked for a regional chain of hardware stores which went bankrupt and sold out to a larger regional chain of hardware stores, which also went bankrupt. Whatever assets were left from that bankruptcy, I’m pretty sure they didn’t include company personnel records.
I also worked for a small advertising agency. It had pretty much dwindled down to a one-person shop when the owner died, and his children simply closed the doors and gave up the lease to the office. I doubt they saved the personnel records, either.
In fact, I’ve worked a couple of other places that simply don’t exist anymore. I also knew someone who graduated from a college that closed in 1992. It’s records were transferred to another school, but someone would have to dig that up on their own.
This is the creative dynamic destruction of American business giving way to new, more modern business that economists like to talk about in the abstract.
Ok, lets assume she has easily available documentation. Who cares? Are you under the impression that this criticism of her is a good faith request to confirm her employment?
