Japanese McDonalds Training Employees with Nintendo DS
Ricardo Trejo
"Video games are a waste of time" and "you won't get anywhere playing those video games" - just some of the choice words parents and adults once said to the gaming youth of yesteryear. Now, however, games can land you employment!
Japanese McDonalds restaurants will soon each be getting two Nintendo DS systems to train new employees the art of burger flipping. It's all a part of a plan called "eSmart" in which McDonalds hopes to cut time and costs that are associated with training new part-timers. For those who are a little older, you may know that the McDonalds/ Nintendo bond has been in place for a while. During the 90's, the first Nintendo Zone's were put in McDonalds' playplaces where kids could enjoy fast food and play the newest N64 titles at the same place.
Wow, no wonder childhood obesity has become such a problem!
