It was reported today that McDonalds has new designer uniforms for its UK workers. According to this story, designer to the stars, Bruce Oldfield (he creates looks for Catherine Zeta Jones and Bianca Jagger) has come up with a new look for McDonalds that includes a black and mocha polo shirt, black cargo style pants, a baseball cap, belt and apron.
But the creme de la creme of this ensemble is the silk-like scarf (It's probably polyester) with the supersized-M on it. Are they serious? This would never work in the U.S., let alone the hood. Why would someone try to channel Hermes at McDonalds? UGH!
I don't know about you, but I don't want ordering a vanilla milkshake, Chicken McNuggets, or Quarter Pounder with Cheese to be a luxury experience. I want my McNuggets to be well, McNuggets.
Furthermore, I would be happier if McDonalds workers, like the ones at Girard Avenue and Broad Street, tucked their collared shirts in pants that fit them well and served my hot fries with a smile, instead of an eye roll.
But wait a minute, with gas being so high, McDonalds may be the only luxury experience I can afford. This is soo, sad.
What do you think?

Most cases my eyes are toward the microwave and trying to see the travels of my burger till it gets to the counter in front of me.I like the uniform, but please dont drop my burger.

That scarf looks perfect for fry cooks. Maybe they'll catch on fire while making my Big Mac.
