"I did fries"

More embellishments...
"I heard a rumor that you worked at McDonald’s?"
"I did. Yes, I did work at McDonald’s," laughed Harris. "When I was at school … I did fries. And then I did the cashier."A pro-Harris super PAC ad said she "work[ed] her way through school at McDonald’s." And former president Bill Clinton, at the Democratic National Convention, joked that "she’ll break my record as president who has spent the most time at McDonald’s."
At the same time, however, Harris’s image makers tweaked the story ever so slightly. According to an August 14 item in Politico, an early cut of a Harris campaign ad said she worked at McDonald’s to "pay her way" through college. Aides changed the script to reflect that "she really took the summer job just to earn a bit more spending money," as Politico put it.
Ah, so she didn't flip burgers to pay he way through college.
Funny, she never mentioned it in books:
If some details of the job have varied, while others are murky, that might be because there is no record of Harris mentioning the McDonald’s job before that labor rally in Las Vegas in June 2019.
The job goes unmentioned in both of her memoirs, published in July 2010 and January 2019.
The Truths We Hold, published ahead of her maiden presidential bid, does include a passage on the "many jobs" she held in college, with no reference to McDonald’s. It also devotes a chapter to the struggles of the working class and assails the service industry’s "starvation wages." Harris’s McDonald’s job is similarly absent from her 2009 book, Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer.
Two biographies written about Harris make no mention of the job, either. A 2021 memoir by Stacey Johnson-Batiste, Harris’s lifelong friend who grew up with her in California, does not mention McDonald’s anywhere in the text. Dan Morain, who authored Kamala’s Way: An American Life, told the Free Beacon he was "not aware" of her job at McDonald’s.
And not mentioned on job application as a law clerk.

Is this important? Of course not, other than in the context of trying to gain some working-class bona fides.

"I did fries"
"I did the cashier"

People on X are going crazy saying, "Yeah, I didn't put down a summer job on my application."
THat's not the point. The point is that you may have lied about it to get some cred. She already modified it from "to pay for college" to "earn some spending money."

Maybe she will further change it to:
"I spent some money at McDonalds while in college."

Somebody overheard the video playing and asked me why the hell I was listening to that blowhard.
What I thought was really funny was how he got things just wrong enough to sound like an idiot. "....I was great friends with Ronald McDonald...Ron and Don" delivered completely straight-faced.
