Two things:

1.) There’s nothing wrong with flipping burgers for a living.

2.) It’s their job. This is many underpaid people forcing even more underpaid people to do this.

Have some class.



>There’s nothing wrong with flipping burgers for a living.

There is if it relegates you to shitty work environments and doesn’t afford a decent living as is generally the case in the US.


I'm not making a value judgement. I'm saying, how are they going to punish you, as a burger flipper, for not saying their TV commercial tagline? Demote you to burger flipper? That's already your job. So why pay people to build a system to track their metrics, when they realistically have no way of making this happen.

Pay people $30/hour and I bet they'll say it every time without software yelling at them. (With the software in place, I have never heard the line "you rule" at Burger King, but I also only go like twice a year. So why write it? It doesn't work.)

> It's a job for teenagers to get experience

It all makes sense now! So that's why all fast food chains are closed from 9-3 on school days

I'm not sure that was the God of Abraham, so much as The Great Caucasian God[1]
