McDonalds gets millions of applications? wtf?
ETA: Yeah, I guess they do.

They have over 40k locations. Many are 24/7. They also surely churn through employees, have many part time employees, and probably get many more applicants than they hire.
The employees will be hired by the franchisees but they still use the McDonalds software.
Millions is not a surprise to me at all. Perhaps that it's tens of millions is a little surprising, but it still seems within the realm of possibility.
Lies detected.
Are you saying that there are not many McDonalds that advertise 24/7 service, or that they advertise this but don't actually provide it?
I've never seen any mcdonalds advertise or service 24/7 schedules. Not since the pandemic.
Walmart and Target stopped too.
Walgreens/CVS is the only thing I know that still does 24/7.
I live in New Zealand and there are many 24/7 McDonalds in busy areas. Clicking randomly on their NZ map it's pretty easy to find them: https://mcdonalds.co.nz/find-us/restaurants
It's the same with Australia: https://mcdonalds.com.au/find-us/restaurants
Actually, the same for the US. It's not hard to find 24/7 ones (you need to search for a city before they show on the map): https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/restaurant-locator.html
This was my perception as well. Then I moved a couple states away and suddenly everything's 24/7 like the old days. I suppose it's regional.
