Burger King Isn’t Working Out
- Your incessant “Heh, heh, he said, ‘Buns.'” is really getting on your supervisor’s nerves.
- What you thought was an innovative way to keep both you and the meat patties warm turns out to violate several health codes.
- Your salary just can’t support that $200-a-night hooker habit.
- Nomination as the Republican Party candidate just one big time conflict.
- Boss fires your slacker butt after realizing that you’re not “Herb” after all.
- Flame broiled, my ass! (No really, I flame broiled my ass!)
- Latest inventory shows chocolate shake supplies usage has tripled since you were hired and you need a bigger uniform every three days.
- Those “special orders” not only upset you, they frickin’ piss you off!
- You get caught asking customers in the men’s room if they’d “like to supersize that?”
- Supervisor’s insistence on hairnets for your armpits was the last straw.
- Some young punk with just three years on the job steals your assistant fry boy position.
- Just no fun anymore to get liquored up, head for the arches and kick some McButt.
- Arrested one too many times for using your “built-in organic onion ring circumference measuring device.”
- “No shake for you, Lard Ass!” doesn’t really reflect your sincere concern about the customer’s health.
- You deep-fry your right arm, hoping it’ll make you more “presidential.”
