I'll be honest, I have LOVED all the waitstaff I've encountered. They're all very attentive and don't scowl when I ask for something unconventional. This is why I only hit on them AFTER paying them ... hehehe

But seriously, if I had been forced to work in the fast food biz, I wouldn't have. Teenage rebellion/fight the machine/stick tot he man would have kicked in. But ever since I was told "What? Whats that? You need a car? Sure, lemme give you some cash" **Mom reaches into purse and hands me ¢27** I knew I was going to be forever dependent on utterly materialistic and superficial shit. If I go an entire week without a guaranteed paycheck I die a bit inside.

I'm not a douchebag though, so I can't say working in fast food has changed me. I've always been very objective to my surroundings so even when I first went into it I knew it was going to be hard.
