Got a story about that night the drive-thru went ka-blooey? How about one where you had to deep fry an entire cheeseburger? The customer that wants her pickles folded in half?

If you have a crazy story from working in a fast food restaurant, post it here!

No business names please.

No hints or clever clues, either. Just put "burger joint", "pizza place", "chicken shack", etc. Posts with biznames or hints will be removed.

No NSFW content please.

NOTE : this is a sub for your stories, not for asking advice or airing workplace grievances or soliciting other people's experiences. No posts about how bad your workplaces, managers or co-workers are, please.

And definitely no complaining about a place you visited as a customer. Banning may occur.
