> [@Kythereia](#): > > …? It is a reference to a commercial for some generic fast food restaurant, in which the protagonist is making the poor worker jump around like a monkey boy because the dish supposedly isn’t made until he orders it. While cute, as a former food service worker, I can tell you that this putz is the nightmare customer. ---

Commercials like this one and the ones Sonic used to have where the customers complained that they didn’t have something Sonic offered absolutely infuriate me and I want to break something every time I see one. ---

As a former fast food employee, this commercial makes me see RED. Unfortunately, as more and more mexicans come into the country and work the fast food jobs that affluent, spoiled suburban kids are increasingly unwilling to work, we’ll have less decent human beings out there who have had to endure working in fast food. ---

**Freejooky** , I sincerely hope the syllogistic implications of your post were some kind of horrible accident. That being said, this ad and the one for some internet (or maybe PC?) provider showing some neurotic hassling their 24/7 tech support drone for reassurance about a hundred hypotheticals (increasingly unrelated to anything technical), and ending with “I’ll call you back in an hour” can not bode well for wage-earners. ---

Whoa- poorly-worded run-on sentence; unintentional non-hilarity ensues! What I was attempting to communicate - “as less people have to work fast food as a teenage rite of passage, there is a far less chance of them growing up to be decent human beings with a sense of respect for the fast food worker.” ---
