Jobs - we've heard it all before

It is with some scepticism that one reads of all the jobs McDonalds will bring to area (Peninsula News, August 20)

How many full time jobs will there be and how many shifts for casual workers will there be per week?

We've heard this before when the big supermarkets were built and refurbished but count how many self serve counters that have been introduced to replace full time positions.

If you want to be served by an employee, there are fewer of these folk than automated self serve counters.
