Dear God, a Big Mac please!
A #McDonald’s outlet in #taiwan has created quite a stir online after it “recruited” some ancient Chinese #Gods to serve its customers.
From the God of Earth (Tu Di Gong), to the Goddess of Mercy Guanyin and even The Jade Emperor, you can find an eclectic mix of divinity at the fast food outlet, serving customers with complete diligence.
Pictures of these special waiters at the outlet went viral on social media in China recently. Some netizens have had a hearty laugh, remarking how even the gods have had to face the bitter realities of the mortal world.
“(Even) the gods have difficulties in finding a job now!” said a user.
Meanwhile, there are others who have picked holes in the gimmicks. For instance, one netizen quite astutely observed: “How can the Guanyin Bodhisattva work at McDonald’s, given that she’s vegetarian?”
Local media outlets in Taiwan report that the cosplay campaign was a special Lunar New Year offering in order to create a bit of festive atmosphere.
