“Do your homework or you’ll end up at McDonald’s”
“Do your homework or you’ll end up (working) at McDonald’s!” is a parent’s threat to a child. If the child doesn’t do well in school, then he or she will wind up working a dead-end job in a fast food restaurant.
“Do your homework or you’ll end up at McDonald’s forever” was posted on Twitter on February 15, 2014. “If you’re in high school right now, don’t goof around, or you’ll end up at McDonald’s like most of my classmates!!!” was posted on Twitter on July 26, 2014.
Sometimes the threat sounds more like a treat, as in this post on Twitter on July 21, 2016:
ana: do your homework or you’ll end up at mcdonald’s
mccree: if i don’t do my homework we’re going to mcdonald’s

Growing up my teachers always said. Go to school or you’ll end up at McDonald’s. That’s good enough warning.
