Do you have your own definition?

a.
McDonald's is now combating this with a commercial that I saw on TV last night. There is a story of a girl who gets her first job at McDonalds, and winds up being the present day president of McDonald's Eastern US division.

Never even gave McDonald's or burger king a thought. Would not want to go home smelling like a burger every night. Planned on being a walmart greeter when I retired, but found out I was way too young . Seems like a good job, just stand there like a robot . Do not have to think. Might get boring, but some of the ones I have seen seem to be employed over their heads, not quite qualified.

McJob is slang for a low-paying, low-prestige job that requires few skills and offers very little chance of intracompany advancement. Such jobs are also known as contingent work. The term McJob comes from the name of the fast-food restaurant McDonald's, but is used to describe any low-status job - regardless of who the employer is - where little training is required, staff turnover is high, and where workers' activities are tightly regulated by managers. Most perceived McJobs are in the service industry, particularly fast food, coffee shops, and retail sales. Working at a low paying job, especially one at a fast food restaurant, is also often referred to as flipping burgers.thats whak i think

C) an unstimulating, low paying job that is usually held by first time workers or retirees at McDonald's. Also see Jack in the Job and Carl's Famous Star Job.

I'd have to go with A. Working at Wal-mart, for instance, is a McJob.

B.
Adding "Mc-" before any word usually amplifies the value of whatever the word reperesents. At least that's how I use it.
