In a vibrant economy, the only people that McDonalds can get to work on the weekends for minimum wage are young high school students. Now more and more you will see people in their 50's working there. I see this more and more in poor towns and cities. If you are thinking about moving somewhere, just drive through the McDonald's first.

Why not go in to the McDonalds so you can also see the kitchen workers - not just the 1 person at the drive thru window? You are right though - there are more older workers in fast food and it doesn't matter what city you go to.

Maybe if you increased healthcare coverage & SS checks according to the inflation rate every year you wouldn't see your Grandma at a drive thru trying to pay for food & medications.
Even in the better off cities, I've noticed more older workers at the fast food joints. I've noticed older checkers at the grocery store too. They must be getting edged out of their old jobs. It's nice actually getting your ketchup when you ask for it. I feel sorry for them though.

Green Valley, Arizona is a good example.
All of their fast food joints are heavily staffed with seniors, yet the town is pretty well off.

It doesn't really bother me that the workers are old just as long as the food is young.

Green Valley aka Wrinkle Valley is a largely aged restricted retirement community. Of course the workers are old. I doubt the OPs assertion has much merit, but GV is not the example to cite to prove it false.
