Did a stint at mcdonalds for a couple of months when I was in school. Honestly theres a lot you can learn there if you keep your eyes open, it definitely made an impression on me. The standardisation of every process down to minute detail, equipment, ingredients, logistics, and people - from junior to management and those guys they fly around to fix things. Its a machine.

Obviously pretty dystopian and my experience there were close to zero ethics. They used to try and bribe the smartest young kids by offering company cars if they quit school and trained as managers. The owner even tried removing the small change from the tills as most people don't complain if they are short a tiny amount so he could squeeze that little extra (not a viable strategy btw as a tiny minority will freak out publicly).
