Christ, there's a memory I didn't need to be reminded of. I worked at a JR in Miami for two years. I was never forced to take part in this torture, as I worked in the back with all the hispanics. When I worked there Aretha Franklin's "Respect" was the song they danced to. They updated the jukebox a little while later, adding a bunch of songs that confused their '50's theme ("YMCA"? Seriously??). The restaurant was definitely designed for white people in fanny packs. Too bad, their burgers weren't half bad.

Scot, no shit Sherlock, BINGO! It would be even more insulting to the Irish since it would be coming from a company with a scottish name. I still say the burger should be called the "Big Mc". As in (phonetically) "Big Mick", dammit!
BTW, if you called a scottish person a "Mick", they would be a little confused. Then they would kick your ass 'cause that's how they roll. Try it sometime ;-P

Sean: McDonald is a scottish name :P

That very thing happened to me at the Johnny Rocket's in Georgetown--I didn't know what to do when they started dancing. Laugh? Run? Close my eyes and go to my happy place? :-)

I will never complain about my job again. I'm a lucky, lucky girl.

I am uncomfortable when the Cold Stone folks sing for their tips, and that lasts all of 3.5 seconds...a dance number is unfathomable.

Eww. Restaurant as entertainment. Wrong. Apparently it appeals to the tourists, though, and maybe they are the big spenders. And maybe the frustrated actors who work as waiters think they will get their big break. Nonetheless, wrong. I know I could never return either. Sorry you had to experience it.

Five Guys is a chain FYI....Speaking of burgers (I was thinking about this the other day while waiting in line at McDonalds. Breakfast of champions.)why is it called the "Big Mac"? Shouldn't it be called the "Big Mc"? McDonalds must think Irish people would be offended or something. Typical PC bullshit!

ugh...I hate when they do that in restaurants. That's one of the many reasons I don't go to Joe's Crab Shack (that, and the shitty food). I always feel so bad for the servers who have to take part in that humiliation. the worst part is that it actually affects the level of service. If the servers are on the floor dancing every 30 minutes, the level of service suffers. Plus, I lose my appetite after seeing that shit.
