Have it your way!
On December 4, 1954, James McLamore and David Edgerton opened the doors to the first Burger King (then called Insta-Burger King) in Miami, Florida. You might say they've come a long way since then.

Archie, the only way to get a freshly cooked Burger was to special order. I always did a "hold the Mayo", first because I don't like Mayo and second, it got me a freshly constructed whopper. You must have been an anomaly in being able to speak English. Up here in the Northeast, it has been thirty years since anyone other than the manager was a native English speaker in most Burger Kings.

I worked at a burger restaurant in England called 'Wimpy Burgers' while I was studying at college. Did 6PM to midnight, 5 nights a week for almost two years. I didn't mind the work, the hardest part was wearing the name tag. It said 'Wimpy' across the top and had your name underneath. Of course, they insisted on using your full Christian name, so I was 'Wimpy Lawrence'. Every so often, some smartassed little teenager would think he was being cute by calling that out. The first time that happened, I got somewhat angry, looked this kid up and down and asked him if he wanted to prove how 'wimpy' is was. That shut him up but also got me written up for threatening a customer. The supervisor who gave me the warning told me he fully understood but I had to keep a lid on it or find gainful employment somewhere else. I got over it.

The "manager" at the one I worked at was a big, fat slob of an English speaker. The last straw for me was getting yelled at for mopping around the broiler, if you want to call it that. The floor was so greasy, and slippery that we skated around more than walking. I told him to pound sand, and a week later had a job sacking groceries where I had to wear a white button down shirt, black slacks, and a tie. But I endured it.
I forget his name, but I carried out groceries for the professor from Gilligan's Island one time. Nice guy.
