Would you like fries wth that?

I have determined that the whole "working at McDonalds" thing is simply a bad scare tactic to get us to do homework. Really. Have you ever been told that if you don't do homework and get into college that you'll spend the rest of your life working at McDonalds taking orders? "Would you like fries with that?"

So, if that were true, imagine if by chance you take a couple college courses later on and get a new job at Applebees:

Waiter: Hi. Welcome to Applebees. Our soups of the day are French Onion, Tomato Basil, and Chilli. Right now we are having our special promotion (opens menu) our 2 for $20. You can pick one of these appetizers and any two of these entrees. Would you like to start off with something to drink?

Customer: I would like a Mountain Dew.

Waiter: Would you like fries with that?

I mean...REALLY?

When was the last time you went to McDonalds and had this happen?

Employee: Welcome to McDonalds, how may I take your order?

Customer: Yes, I would like a bacon ranch salad with grilled chicken and low-fat italian dressing, a small diet coke, and a Chicken McNuggets kids' meal with 1% milk and apple dippers.

Employee: Would you like fries with that?

I don't think I've ever been asked "Would you like fries with that?" It's just crazy nonsense we've been told to scare us.

Now, I'm not saying school isn't important (although I still don't understand why we need to learn most of this stuff they are teaching us). But really... just because you don't do well at school does NOT mean you'll end up working at McDonalds.

Chances are, you'll be working at ShopRite.
