Lol Charlie I thought you were putting up the 100K and I was thinking "What are you doing spending all your time on this website if you have that much throw away money?"

I assume most people who voted that it'd be easy really mean "it'd be frustrating as hell, but I'm sure I could go a year without quitting or getting fired", but just didn't feel like voting for "other".

Doing this for a whole year, without a week off seems really hard to me; I wouldn't ruin a whole year of my young life for only 200k..
Maybe I am greedy

Agreed, people do this all the time at manufacturing jobs, and the only thing that gets them by is having a family to support.

Screw manufacturing. I did it all summer. Worst summer of my life.

Sadly, after I graduate next year I'll be working well over 55 hours a week anyway...gotta love investment banking and asset management jobs.

On a side note, it must suck to work the midnight McDonald's shift in west Philly.

I've never heard of an "annual minimum wage" but $21k in UK sounds far too high

A store manager can't guarantee so much OT either, ridiculous concept in the first place

Well I guess they just took the hourly minimum wage and multiplied it by the number of average hours worked during a year :o

Yeah don't places like McDonald try to avoid paying overtime? I really don't see why they would let someone work that much overtime EVERY week for the entire year. Also I would imagine while that would be rather boring after like 6 months they would probably upgrade you to a manager if you were even reasonably useful lol just because McDonald's turnover is so high.

Agreed.

What's the average life expectancy? 70? Assuming he's already in his 20s I wouldn't waste 1/50th of the rest of my life working that much for a year for 100k.

It's not a waste of a year. As long as this man doesn't go into it with the mindset that he'll hate the job, he won't have wasted a year. Working at McDonalds is all about personal interaction and he'll have plenty of opportunities to talk to people and make friends. It will certainly be taxing, but he can do it easily.

Oh, and a bitchy manager can ruin your day.

I worked at a MCDs for a year, roughly 55 hours a week. It's not a fucking waste of time at all. Hell yeah I would do it again for 100k.

For everyone who said he wont be able to find a place where he can guarantee he'll get 55 hours of work a week:
He was talking about the bet with some old friend from high school (IIRC, it's in the thread somewhere) who it turns out is the manager of a McD.. 1 year employment guaranteed basically.

On topic, no way in hell would I spend a year working at McD's. Gotta be the shittiest job imaginable.


minimum wage in mexico is $4.6 usd a DAY.

i think 70% of the people here in mexico doesnt even make 50K usd a year. Most likely everyone here would take that bet


Sad but true.

there are holes to this bet.
what if he gets a promotion, like right off the bat?
what if he bribes to manager to lie?

this is a big flop cuz some shit will happen, the man who placed the bet is going to rofl.

I thought most places didn't even let you work that much as an entry-level position because they're trying to avoid paying you overtime.
