Need a job? McDonald's has an opening at Guantanamo

[meegbear]

Out of work and willing to relocate? McDonald's is advertising for an assistant manager for its sole franchise in Cuba — serving up burgers and fries that sometimes feed detainees at the prison camps at Guantanamo Bay.

The help wanted ad popped up recently at the McVirginia.com careers Web site featuring the Golden Arches, a headline "Find a Career @ McDonald's" and this enticement: "Enjoy the perks."

It didn't specify salary but said, "Candidates must have restaurant management experience, possess a valid United States passport and be willing to relocate to Cuba."

Other incentives include half your rent paid and, potentially, tax-free status for year-round residents.

Apparently no special security clearances are necessary for the job that requires you to both live and work on the 45-square-mile base of some 6,000 residents. Customers include sailors and their families, at last count 215 war-on-terror captives and their guards, as well as hundreds of Jamaican and Filipino guest workers.

"This restaurant has been there since 1986 and is independently owned and operated by a McDonald's franchisee," McDonald's USA spokeswoman Danya Proud said by e-mail from Oak Brook, Ill.
