"I'll take a strawberry shake." Mix strawberry shake by hand-pouring and quick-blending -- vanilla and a squirt of strawberry flavoring.
"I change my mind. I'll take a steak and baked potato."
"Sorry, sir, we don't serve steaks at Burger King. May I suggest a Yumbo meal instead?"
"Don't tell me about no Yumbo meal! If I can't have no steak and baked potato, I take my business elsewhere!"
Drives off.
Goodie!
Pretend like throwing away strawberry shake; go back to meat locker and enjoy.
Special orders don't upset us -- along with ragass co-workers, drink or eat every changed or botched thing at every opportunity, wolfing down burgers, fries and Yumbos until satiated. A growing boy needs his food!
Wonder about dispenser above entrance to rest rooms. Insecticide to keep bugs out of food, secret camera or air freshener? Never figure it out. Ignore subtle hiss when walking under arch.
Out the door within months of joining Burger King team. Return brown and orange polyester uniform. Keep paper and plastic hat and plastic name badge.

The Shrub says more and more jobs are being created every day and that our economy is picking up. He's got his people counting all the McJob's in the service industry. Pretty soon, none of us will have it our way--only The Shrub and other rich folks like him.
Have you read Shlosser's other book, "Reefer Madness"? Like he does with fast food, he investigates the black market--drugs, porn, illegal immigration. Like "Fast Food Nation," it's very insightful.
I used to work there - my first job, and I'm proud to say that this scofflaw got sacked...
