The economical projecting hamburger

This is my theory of the directly proportional relationship of fast food service to the quality of the economy. By this I mean you can determine how the economy is doing by simply going to a fast food joint and observing. Crazy, you say. Well open your eyes and read some of the greatest economical advice you will ever get. Now it is quite obvious that you can get either good service or crappy service at a fast food place, right? We have all experienced that great burger at a Micky D’s and think, damn that is a tasty burger and was actually served to me with a nice attitude. On the flip side, we have also got some ghetto piece of shit slap a burger on your tray that was obviously not had any love put into making it. See, I am not a frequenter of the fast food establishments as of normal operation however, lately I have been traveling a lot and find myself with no other option. Well I am finding that the service is not all that good and I am trying to avoid going at all costs. This is not all bad though, and now on to the meat and potatoes.

This is the structure, meet Marcus. Marcus works in an office inputting data for some faceless cooperation making decent money. Yeah so he hasn’t graduated college, barely has a high school diploma, but the economy is good and he has a decent job. Well if Marcus is working in the office, who is serving me my burger…Oh yeah, here is Dwayne, he didn’t even graduate high school, hell he can’t remember if you ordered a number 4 or not! (Jeff). Well, the economy takes a dive and poor Marcus looses his job because he is on the bottom of the cooperate food chain and is expendable. Well, he is getting hard up and maybe he gets some unemployment checks for a month or so… too proud to collect welfare (yes this is rare but does exist). So what is the next step for Marcus? You got it, fast food. Well all the Dwaynes in the world have to figure out what to do (not too proud for welfare) and the Marcuses serve me a damn good burger with a smile! Screw CNN, I am going to Burger King… how has your fast food service been?
