What's a McJob?

I was in McDonald's earlier today, and noticed that they've started a petition to change the definition of a 'McJob'. I think this is ridiculous, and that the current definition of “an unstimulating, low-paid job with few prospects, esp. one created by the expansion of the service sector†is perfectly accurate.
McDonald's' problem with the definition is that it is degrading to the hard-working, dedicated workers in the service industry. I disagree. I say that while the workers in these jobs may well be hard-working and dedicated, to say that they have good career prospects, a stimulating and/or a highly-paid job is insulting and misleading. I feel that this definition needs to be kept.

man what are you doing here
also petition online has never accomplished anything, ever
I find it completely laughable that anyone would think they could change the definition of something in the OED through petition, to start with. It's obviously just a marketing stunt. And I'm drawing attention to it!
I don't really intend to do anything with this. I just thought I'd come at it semi-seriously instead of saying 'HAY GUYS, MCDONALDS LULZ'.

Okay.
Because there is nothing like an internet petition to let the man know you mean business

a job is a job
you should be thankful for the work
No
No it is not something to be even remotely proud of
No no no no no
It's still not something you'd brag about
The people at McDonald's piss me off. THEY NEVER GET MY FUCKING ORDER RIGHT!!!!! Even if I order like three items. HOW DO YOU MESS UP THREE ITEMS?
RAGE!

They're trying to redefine a slang term.
That didn't work out so well for them last time, if I recall.
it sounds like a sex act
no
but money is money
do you see the size of that word
8-)
The one in my town is fairly decent, although the one in the next town over does a better job of it. Some of them are insanely terrible though.
i always eat them, gag, and say, why did i just eat that fry
as a matter of fact, i once asked for two cheeseburgers and a drink from the dollar menu and the dude went "well you can just get the me-" and i was all, "no, just give me those three items", and he was all "but the meal-" and i was like "i don't want your shitty fries thanks"
i was in a bad mood, i really hate those fries
are you kidding
i eat left overs for lunch at work
every day
mcdonalds for me is a fuckin luxury
I make my own unhealthy, artery clogging food
McDonald's fries are bottom-of-the-barrel
BK has decent fries
Or if you are extremely cheap and think paying $3 for fries, burger, and a drink is a good deal even if it's just kind of mediocre.

if by decent you mean vomit worthy then i agree
