Confessions of a Fast Food Employee (Intro)

About a year and a half ago, I got my first job. I hated every minute of the searching and I loathed my first few weeks. The early days were brutal because I constantly made mistakes, which is natural. However, I have always despised myself when I mess up, so I desired for nothing more than to quit.
Now, a year and a half later, I am looking towards a promotion and I have quite a few stories to tell. To give some brief background, I work in fast food and I can say first-hand how much this job stinks.
A month or so ago, I rewatched the movie, The Help, and I was inspired to try to create something similar, but in the perspective of a fast food employee. Our society greatly needs this. So many people come through our restaurant and have no common decency. They will treat me like an annoying gnat they wish they could squash!
So, I’m no longer going to sit by silently as they run right over me.
