Let me get this straight, they look for people who have worked at those places before? When it comes to restaurants, you have the high class places run by people who really actually want to serve you, you have the run of the mill Denny's places where it's... not so much... then you have places like McDonald's where service with contempt is the norm, and they ACT like they are a 5 star restaurant sometimes... If someone has worked at such a place before, it suggest either they were fired, or got bored but weren't ambitious enough to actually progress up the career ladder so they just found the exact same job. Wouldn't one be MORE suspect of the person who's been at this for a while? What exactly is keeping them there? You know what's more frightening than that? Ever seen the people working in the background that have to be around 70-80 years old? I mean, it's possible they retired but just couldn't settle down and all. I certainly prefer to think that. But, the FUNNIER possibility is something went so horrible in their life that THIS was the only thing they could amount to. They could aspire to nothing greater.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
