As Kamala Harris races to capture the Big Mac Voter, the Trump campaign is doubling down on its demand for proof that she worked at McDonald's in college.“Why won’t they just provide real documentation and proof?” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in an email to the Daily Beast. “The onus is on them. What does she have to hide?"Donald Trump has attacked the Democratic presidential nominee’s McDonald’s street creds as fake, accusing her of lying about having worked there as a college st

    Look, I worked at Taco Bell in the 90s for three years. I would have one heck of a time trying to prove it without finding someone to confirm it. If I had just been there for a couple seasons, nobody would have remembered me.

      I have corroborating evidence that I worked in a Miami Subs and Grill in 1995 when I was 18 because the friends I worked there with (three of us) were all there the day the lady bought the $50 undersized bottle of Dom Perignon that the managers mystifyingly put in the little beer and wine case, drank it out of a paper cup with her meatball sub, and left.

      That’s the sort of shit you can’t make up. Or forget.

      I never worked fast food but thats because I had friends that did and avoided it like the plague. mowed lawns, baby sat, worked in a bookstore and a library, assisted janitors, painted, shipping and recieving. Closest I came was the dorm cafeteria but that one gave you a free meal every shift so I got on that.

        If you did all that the 90s you probably had very little evidence any of that took place.

          80’s and 90’s and yeah. pretty much my word on it. If I was like dragged into court I could likely get some records suponed and maybe prove some of it. Heck even after that I worked for a contract engineering firm that did y2k remediation. Its on my resume way in the back (I utilized a multipage format where the first page could stand on its own) and on linkedin. It got bought out after I worked there and I think then eventually was closed up. My guess is they may have been bought for the software. I could drive to the buisiness park and maybe even identify the building where I used to go work but its not that place anymore and I don’t think I could get any evidence at all that I worked there and im like pretty sure I can not even prove it ever existed but maybe. Its like the first job in my tech career.
