Yes there is. Working at McDonald's is very much unskilled.

You can call it surplus if that makes you happy but little to no skill required.

I think you sorely underestimate how much acquirable skill is necessary to put up with McD's customers screaming at you during a lunch hour rush while still performing your duties.

I've worked in a credit card call center dealing with late fees, uhaul with moves getting fucked up. My manager was assaulted with a crow bar.

I'm very familiar with customer service.
