July 06, 2005McFashion StatementMcDonald's wants trendier, more fashionable uniforms for its employees, the Chicago Sun-Times reports: Ramping up its bid for a hipper, more youthful image, McDonald's plans to hire top designers to remake its uniforms. The Oak Brook-based hamburger giant recently hired a marketing whiz with ties to the hip-hop community and is contemplating deals with fashion figures ranging from Sean "P. Diddy" Combs to Tommy Hilfiger. Am I the only one who thinks that idea is, well, a little weird? Category: Zeitgeist watchPosted by Brian Chin at July 6, 2005 10:02 AM Comments
Maybe you are the only one that thinks this is a little weird, seeing that no one else has commented. There are many people who work at McDonald's for a living. Whether it is a sole or second income, it is an honest day's work. Having a more than decent uniform to wear would be nice for them. Posted by: Nina at July 6, 2005 10:28 PMActually, Nina, I seldom get comments on this blog. Just the nature of Buzzworthy, I suppose. To clarify, I have nothing against McDonald's employees getting nicer uniforms. It's the notion of creating uniforms so eye-catching that people would want to wear them outside work that strikes me as a little odd. Or perhaps it's just very, very ambitious. Posted by: Brian Chin at July 7, 2005 09:51 AMThank you for the response. I appreciate the clarification of your view. I believe that we would be in agreement by saying that it is very, very ambitious. That is a good way to sum it up. On a sidenote, I relocated from Washington to California about six months ago. I still read your blog every day. It gives me something to think about as I go about my day. Keep up the good work! Posted by: Nina at July 8, 2005 09:01 AM...seldom get comments Because no one can stand the delay in the post button and the javascript trickery. It's too complex to post to Buzzworthy, yet. Posted by: Constant Reader at July 8, 2005 01:59 PMWe're aware of the sluggishness in posting comments -- and I apologize for that. The short version of the story is that the blogging system we installed a couple years back as an experiment is now being strained by increased demands -- not the least of which is fending off an ever-rising tide of comment spam. We're developing a new system that we expect to perform much better. Posted by: Brian Chin at July 13, 2005 09:17 AMPost a comment
