Think of the work experience gained by our youth by being in their employ. They learn how to fleece the docile consumer sheep, just like their three-piece suit counterparts in the adult world. They learn first hand about corporate tactics to keep expenses down and profits up. Like "How come you don't offer a pension plan ? " (by keeping employees under X hours a week they become exempt from such profit cutting expenses). They learn portion control and how to make day old burgers taste like they just came off the grill. Have you ever seen them throw any food out ? These are valuable skills in today's profit, profit, profit world of business. If you really want to make a managers day, get a few of your friends together and buy a bottle of whiskey (Jack Daniels or equiv). Have a drunken good time. Go to your local fast food place around 4 PM, when they are still recycling the noon burgers. Order 3 or 4 apiece and wolf the swill down fast. In about 45 minutes your stomach will start to complain. At this point go to the manager and tell him his burgers are 'off' and proceed to vomit on the floor right in front of the counter. This might set off a chain reaction among your friends and it will make the customers who are enjoying their meal disgusted and they will leave when the smell of whiskey and burger barf reaches their noses. The outcome ? A store that is empty with piles of vomit on the floor. Not a very pleasing thing to the young yuppie manager who now has to deal with the mess and lack of sales. "Well McCentral I really don't know why sales were off that day, Please don't take away my bronze plaque." Remember --- They do it all for you ! --- Which is really false advertising, since if their motto was true they would be giving it away. Enjoy your meal sir !
