McDonald’s recruits 4,000 staff in Britain

LONDON: McDonald’s launched a campaign on Wednesday to recruit 4,000 staff in Britain to satisfy the demand from cash-strapped customers flocking to its restaurants as the credit crunch bites hard.

As the rest of the British economy hits turbulent times, the fast food giant said it was serving an extra 2 million meals a month compared with this time last year.

Many cash-strapped Britons are finding their budgets stretched by rocketing fuel bills, surging food prices and higher home loan repayments, so are turning to cheap fast food to fill the gap. afp
