Penchant smiles for 412 seconds, earns job at McDonald's

Greensboro, NC

Penchant Lama has secured a job at the local McDonald's, which is looking to hire smiling faces. Penchant spotted the advertising sign late yesterday afternoon and prepared for his interview in a video shot at the restaurant.

Penchant then entered the store, smiled at the manager, and immediately was offered a job. He begins on Monday morning.

"It's a job I really think I can excel at," Penchant explained as he stood in front of a smiling mouth painted on the window of the restaurant. "I think I can replicate this mouth and tongue for the customers."

Most people looking to secure employment at McDonald's need to complete an on-line application. But Penchant got the job by smiling for 412 consecutive seconds.

It will be the fifth job for Penchant in five months. He's worked at Krispy Kreme, at a bread shop, at a local college coaching cheerleading, and for Depra the Trashman. He was fired from his first three jobs because he rarely showed up for work and expected to be promoted to a management position after the first day of work. He still does seasonal tinkering for Depra.
