h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

An article all about having a part time job in a fast food restaurant.

Things I hope you can contribute:
1.) I'd like to know for sure if Wimpy is spelt with an e or without.
2.) Is there a funny version of the joke!?!?!

If you have worked in a fast-food joint, I'd like to know what you found different and similar to what I have written.

The article's great
Sounds like the job sucks though

Thanks - it's true that the job really can get annoying. Most of the time it's not too bad, it's just that when something goes wrong, you get the blame, which isn't always fair.

BTW - since yesterday I've checked and found out that "Wimpy" is spelt "Wimpy".

In the dim and distant past I briefly worked at a McDonald's and trash walk there meant donning a donkey jacket emblazoned on the back with a large flourescent pair of golden arches while wandering up and down the street collecting any McDonald's brand rubbish. It was not a popular chore.

I've updated the article to include that also.
So, what else was different/similar to when you worked there?
Anything you feel I should include?

With regards to the joke, it's usually rendered as "Do you want fries with that". Can be any recognisably dim group, Blonde with a degree, law Students, whatever

Thought it was a great article, despite never having worked in a fast food joint. (And hoping not to have to this summer...)

Thanks DE.
If you can avoid working in a fast food place, I would. It can be fun, just not much

And i didn't find one beatles reference...

I have recommended this for editing, so cross your fingers and we shall see how it goes.
