Has this been corroborated by any paper other than the (snicker) Daily Mail, reporting from the UK on a McDonalds in the US?

"There has been some misinformation reported by an independent job site with no relationship to the Winchendon, Massachusetts McDonald's," restaurant owner Lori Ruscito said in a statement. "The original job posting, which could be accessed through McState.com, did not require a bachelor's degree. We are working diligently to have the misinformation removed from the site but to date the website has been unresponsive to our requests."

I also love how the original article says it's a result of the "tax and spend" policies. WTF?

People have no idea how laughable some of the media is in the UK, and Europe in general. News providers like these make Fox News look good.

One look at that site and it's pretty clear nothing is legit on it, or credible.
