Here's one that's only tangentially related.
For over a year, I worked in a Burger King. It was okay work, and the people were generally decent.

One of the things that NOBODY knows about me is that I managed a Burger King for a year back in 1983 in Greensboro, North Carolina. I file it under the "What Would You Do to Survive?" category.
It was the year that "Return of the Jedi" came out, and Burger King was one of the big sponsors. As part of our promotional, they sent us posters advertising "Revenge of the Jedi," which was going to be the title until the studio changed it prior to release. If I'd had any sense, I would have kept one of those now highly valuable posters.
Also, that was the year that a little toddler named Sarah Michelle Gellar was the Burger King "spokesperson" in a series of ads that insulted McDonald's.
