In reply to the discussion: Ever work in fast food? [View all]Archae
(46,299 posts)8. Article here from a guy who worked in a theater.

Over 30 years ago I was a projectionist/concessions worker at a drive-in.
We had actual FOOD in addition to the overpriced candy and popcorn. (Burgers and hot dogs.)
What was fun was the day after the big triple features on Friday and Saturday night, walking around fixing the broken speakers, (somebody always drove off with the speaker still hanging on the window,) and cleaning up the garbage.
Which as you can guess, included some rather gross items.

It was my first job too, but years earlier. We used to go to McDonalds in our BK uniforms for lunch.

Well sort of. I worked at a Chinese restaurant delivering food in my '70 Challenger 440 Six-Pack.
