Ever work fast food as a kid?

[txteach]

At 17, I worked at Mcdonalds. I hated that job. While in college I worked at a Hardees and a Taco Johns, both a lot more enjoyable that Mcdonalds. Anyone else work for a fast food restaurant when they were younger?

Pizza Hut one summer and Burger King while in college for me.

i worked at wendy's a few months in the late 80's
it was in a bad part of town then but since then they built new shopping ans entertainment and better housing around it. the owner of that francjise is probably pretty happy.

[Nostalgiabuff]

yeah, I worked in a cajun fast food place called Chez Porky's. It was my first job ever. Food was good too. Sadly, they are no longer around.

i worked in a Mc Donalds in high school-
The training films were great!

I was almost fired cause i made a double filet o fish with a big mac bun for my lunch-

not a creative organization

I worked under a chef at a cafe for a couple of years as a kid, he was insane but brilliant. Threw knives, plates, punched the wall, he died recently, I'm not sure he was much over 50. Taught me how to cook but I used to envy my friends at McDonalds.

After that I was night guy at Pizza Delight for a year, the best job I ever had. Basically I (rarely) made pizza, cleaned up, tried to keep the delivery guy sober and spent much of my time devising ways to steal a beer.

First job was KFC... I smelled like chicken all the time. People would get their fingers cut off at the chicken saw. House of horror. Also worked at Wendy's in college. Somewhat better.

Thats called a "Whaler", and it use to be an "off the menu" item you could get there. I worked at McD's for 3 months in high school. It is the worst job I ever had, and hardest. I was making $3.35 a hour, and they worked us like dogs.

[toys2cool]

yup,worked at Checkers in High school

[knight errant00]

Dairy Queen, my last couple years of High School and my first year of college.

After a brief stint at a cafe following that, it was all book stores until graduation and being chained to an office.

Worked at Roy Rogers when I was 16, the Fried Chicken was better then KFC! Yum,Yum

[Hector]

No.

But I did work at a liquor store during my high school years...it was a pretty good job for three years...I did everything, from cashier, stocking, to moping the floor. I was always teamed up with the manager (who was a friend of my dad's, that's how I got the gig, lol)...who used to let me drink a beer inside the ice box room once in a while, he, he, he...ah...those were the days.

Yeah McDonalds when i was 17, I lasted two-days on my second day a sat the other guy asked to go home leaving me alone in the back and we got slamned by two little league teams plus parents and the ***** manger did noting to help me out then he told me to move my lazy a** as the custmers were waiting so i gave him the finger and told him to take this job and shove it, He had the nads to tell me i couldn't quite i laughted and walked out

I worked just one step up from fast food which was a chain called Olga's Kitchen.

The food was actually pretty good. I was a waiter (the equivalent of a Pizza Hut waiter).

Fortunately, a couple of my friends also obtained jobs there and we always pulled practical jokes on each other. I'm actually surprised we didn't get fired but the manager's were pretty nice, we worked hard, but had fun too.

Most of the time we used just used to do things to one another like if a customer ordered a spinach pie (not ordered too often), one of us would take a bite out of it in the back kitchen while it was sitting under the heat lamps. When the other one would go to deliver it; we realized the bite mark and have to hurry back to the kitchen to have another one made.

They also had a frozen yogurt machine that we used to have contests to see who could hold their mouths under the nozzle and consume the most frozen yogurt.

Good Times...Good Times.

I worked at McDonalds for a year when I was 16. They fired me for growing my hair too long. I kept trying to tuck it into the visor, but after a year it was a little hard to do. I wasn't gonna cut it for them so they canned me. It reminds me of the saying-
If your not a rebel at 16 you've got not soul, if you've got long hair at 30, it's time to grow up hippy! or something like that.
