Could be they work at MacDonalds to supplement their major source of income (pension, working partner etc).

From my limited observation it seems like that might be possible. Many of their workers seem to be Haitian or Chinese immigrants. I don't really go there for anything but the occasional strawberry shake so my sample size is pretty small.

I remember walking into a McDonald's (early '90s) in an Arizona "gray town". My dad and I were the only people under 60 in the place.

They were good, too. They were a bit slower, the average age in the place probably being 70, but they had a much better work ethic than most people in fast food.
