... boy, them were good times...

Are fast food places very different in the US? I seem to remember the food was better in them when I went to America when I was a kid. I worked in KFC a few years ago and it was badword awful. Twelve, thirteen hour shifts for £3.31 an hour, getting home at six in the morning, abuse, physical and verbal. One customer threatened to rape me, then waited outside for six hours with a screwdriver. I got boiling oil thrown over my arms, and then had to wash up for four hours. I thanked god that time there was no hot water or detergent. No staffroom, used syringes in the toilets, which we had to clean in between preparing and serving food. No adequate washing facilities. When the HSI came round the manager just gave him £50, and he ignored the fact that the drinks machine had broken and we were wading through 2 inches of apple tango syrup. Eeeerrggh, gives me shivers just thinking about it, I hate fast food places.
