St Louis: Customer shoots KFC employee over running out of corn

BTW you could not pay me enough to work at one of these ghetto ass fast food joints.

Make you think twice about sleeping in the back of your Camry next time you’re rolling through St Louis eh? Quit being a cheap bastard and spend the $39 on the Red Roof Inn.

We need your commentary around here, don’t need you getting wacked by a tweaker at 3AM in the Walmart parking lot.

My first "real" job was at KFC when I was 17. I was a militant vegetarian that year but wanted money and job experience so managed to compartmentalize. Those 5 months convinced me to "stay in school" and find any other career path than food service. The smell of lard in the morning still lingers in my nightmares. I know someone has to do it but it wasn't for me. Respect for those who do.

Other negatives of working at KFC: the stench of the cole saw mix that you couldn't get off your hands even after several days off, getting burned taking food out of the ovens in a hurry, or having to stop what you were doing to make a special mashed potato order because someone wanted "heavy gravy, light potatoes" or "light gravy, heavy potatoes."

The positives: getting to work drive through and flirting with hot girls. Flexible hours (sometimes). Making some of my own spending money. Other than that I don't really know. My dog liked it when I'd bring home leftover chicken when I worked closing.

Damn Dave who'd a thunk, you were a "would you like fries with that" kind of guy

Nothing to do with the thread, but Alf? Wow.

Ya know. I can maybe see this if they were out of Original White Meat. But out of Corn ??? Pick another side 'bro !

Society has normalized violence. Police violence and wars impact people. Add to it undiagnosed mental illness. The economy and pandemic....

Loose some weight and take a bath fatso!
