My point is that we whitebread middleclass college-bound kids made a shitload of mistakes on fast-food orders (especially at the drive-thru) and despite what MikeK might say we spoke English just fine.
What do you expect for $3.35/hour while working until 1-2am on a school night?

I want everyone to make a note of this experience. Here this young boy pale as a set of grandma's china was able to push ahead and make something of himself. The manager thought he was crazy when he pulled the hood off the deep fryer,
Manager: "matt god damn it boy. what are you doing over there with that hood?"
Matt: "Mr. Griffens I am merely removing the scoop and putting some mesh on it. Hoods look so much better without the scoop."
Manager: "Get back to your register or turn in your hat and golden arches"
Matt:
(mumbles to himself) *wait till he sees the cold air intake for the McFlurry machine...
