I'm 15 and don't have a NI number, so basically, I'm going to put in an application in McDonalds and see if I get a job offer. I put a BS date of birth down and left the NI field blank.
I'm guess they'll just reject the application due to lack of NI number, but I'm going to put it in anyway because I'm told by some people McDonalds don't give a shit who they employ and generally don't even check the NI number.
So, what are my chances?

Stop it.
WORK
Legally, yes, but I'm told McDonalds don't give a shit.
Say you managed to get an interview and got the job, at the induction you would have to bring along proof of identity which they would photocopy- this has to be either a driving licence or your birth certificate. You need your NI number. You cannot work there otherwise.
Don't bother. Mc'Donalds don't employ anyone younger than 16 and to be honest, you are silly in thinking you can fool them.
You're perceptive.
The tons of illegals?
How do you know that?
Interesting. Where did you acquire this information?
They appear illigal to me. Barely speak English, arab, black, asian. Or should we just blame our pathetic immigration system?
Appear illegal? So you don't really have any idea.
That doesn't mean they're illegals.
They may be genuine refugees, and i'd rather they work then take benefits.
I wasn't talking about foreign, I meant their language difficulty. They only understand enough just to take your order - I know from experience.
If you can immigrate to the UK, without speaking English and get a unskilled job, I question what this country is coming to. Our immigration system is so pathetic. Most countries wouldn't allow them in unless they had skills that would benifit their economy and spoke the language fluently.
Just because they have an accent and their English is not up to your high standards does not make them a so called 'illegal' :yeees:
Exactly what i was gonna say.
In a couple of years he/she might figure out the difference.
they took our jobs
So, I'm a racist because I think we should have an immigartion system that only allowed people in who would be a benifit to the country? If that makes me racist then that makes most other countries in the world racist.
Why don't you just go away and have a think about what you are saying. I don't necessarily have a problem with your view (we are all entitled to one) but the way you put it across just makes you sound like an utter prat.
If they're working in McDonalds are they not benefiting our country?
The slow rate i get my Big Mac and fries at these days, i'm all for more people working there!
Ever heard of the word "asylum"?
Oh really? I know of plenty of young, white British people who apply for jobs at fast food places and are perfectly willing to take the jobs.
