Ten years, give or take, in the industry, but never fast food, thank god.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My very first job at 16 was at a McDonald's. It was brand new and clean and shiny. It really wasn't a bad job. I worked there for 6 months in between marching band seasons.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
The summers I was 17 and 18, I worked as a cashier at Hardee's. I didn't eat french fries for a full year thereafter because I was so sick of the smell (which would permeate my hair and skin--ugh).

Somehow, during that very early "food or retail" stage of life, I ended up in retail.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I never worked fast food. I did, however, work at a Raleigh Record Bar in the early '90s, during the Christmas rush.
"Do you have this country cd? It's by this guy, and the main song's about how his girlfriend's gone."
". . ."
"Oh, and there's a guy in a hat on the cd case."
". . . I'll . . . I'll see what I can find."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hellos!
I have never worked food service, but one of the locations where the traveling music school goes is a youth center. We try to support our partnering organizations' efforts, which means making french fries there. I am so off fried foods forever.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I too took the retail track, and have only ever worked in food in my college dorm. Which was your basic work-study, "make sure breakfast is available, and if it pleases you, quiz half-awake people about the state capitals" job, which I had for one year before qualifying for nier jobs.
My brother has done plenty of food service, and for a while this spring, worked making bread for Bertucci's, so we could legitimately say he was makin' dough.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I introduced two of my officemates to David Sedaris. That is my good deed of the day.
I am unpleased with my lunch. Turkey Cheeseburger delux which would normally make me happy, but they promised pickle and delivered none, and the fries aren't good. Last time I am going to that place.

Ack. Have to send a letter to someone. Anyone familiar with the (first) name Hayl? Is that a female name, as I'm assuming?
