Not quite. McDonald's couldn't confirm that she worked for them. They could neither confirm nor deny, because they didn't keep those records of their franchisees.
That was the diplomatic way they put it, yes. But many people who worked at McDonalds confirmed that their franchise did keep records that old, or even older.
Honestly doubt any major businesses throw out tax-critical-information, such as HR records of employment/pay stubs, unless they have a complete fire/flood destruction of everything, including the record-keeping location. Sure the gov can't go back more than 8 years or 10 years depending on circumstances, but once it's been sitting in the records room for 10 years... Are you really going to pay some lawyer or accountant consultancy prices go through every file and check the date and toss them, or just let them pile up?
And yet some McDonalds still came out saying that yes, they do keep records that old.
But whether they do or not, is beside the point about whether Kamala's claims are true, and doesn't excuse the total lack of corroborating facts she could have provided if they were. Facts such as a franchise location, the years of employment, or the names of other employees working there at the time. All of these could prove her statements. If they were true, it is strange that she has still not provided them, now that the story has blown up as much as it has.
You would have to specify which one first. As far as I am aware, Kamala herself never did. Likely because that would invite investigation into something that never happened.
Had she mentioned the job even once previously in her career before her run for Congress, had she mentioned the location of the establishment, and had she mentioned the names of other people who worked there with her, the claim would have been more believable. But as it currently stands, it's just another strange random lie, much like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden were very prone to do.
Kamala hasn't said what location she "worked at" or even the year! You'd think she'd remember, eh? I can remember my first job, the location the months worked & etc. It should be a no-brainer, eh?
You'd also think her camp could have found proof by now, or even a co-worker who remembers her. But no, nothing.
It's so bad especially when McDonald's THEMSELVES confirmed she didn't work for them. Like take the L, not double down into the bog pit.

I'm sure some do, but did that one?

Pay stubs, bank deposits, even a simple receipt could easily prove it but funny how they are too lazy to even properly fake things.
And then their idiot followers take action into their own hands and since they are DEI troons, they can’t do anything right
As -Fender- says: which one? There's probably several in the area she lived in, whichever year it was she claims to have worked there.
Honestly, I'd be more concerned if they did.
I'd rather random businesses not keep intricate and detailed records for all of history of your existence and interaction with them.
Like I worked at a McDonald's for 2 days decades ago, is that still on the books with my full name and information submitted during the application?
They probably do now because electronic data seems almost never purged, and is instead just straight fuckin' lost or kept forever.

Yeah why would they think McDonald's would lie about something like that that is easily veririfed across multiple dimensions (W2s, taxes, etc).
