This is minimally related to the geek culture subject matter that I normally write about, but I figure I owe the audience the wisdom I have acquired over the years.
I have figured this out after many years of going to fast food as a customer and a few years working there.
Great Truth of food service #1:
Unless you are talking an actual gourmet chef, like Bobby Flay or Wolfgang Puck or whoever off Food Network, food service is composed of people not talented, bright, and ambitious enough to be in retail. Consider that next time it takes ten minutes for your pack of gum to get rung, up by the soul-less, brain-dead cashier at Target. The guy who made your burger at McDonald's is probably lazier, stupider, and more apathetic about the quality of his work than her.
Great truth of food service #2:
Fast food is staffed by the dregs of the food service industry.
Great truth of food service #3:
If you have graduated high school and work in fast food, your life is going nowhere.

I thought you worked in Fast Food? Why would you say that about yourself? I think it's only true if your not in your 20's and you have a family.
If you don't have a family and you have goals to do something better in the future and your doing something to make it happen then fast food is fine.
I do work in fast food.
In a way much of that entry was intended to be sort of self-deprecating.
It's hard to explain other than some of the intent was humor that might fall flat in a purely textual medium.
