QotD: Restaurant
Posted February 16th, 2004 @ 09:08am by Erik J. Barzeski
Question: Have you ever worked in a fast food restaurant (including Denny's, IHOP, etc.)?
My Answer: The programmer in me wants to say "yes." So "yes." I used to work in a Boston Market back in, uhhh, 1996. I was hired in January at $4.25 or whatever minimum wage was back then, was promoted a few months later, took a month off to go to France, and left for college in August at $7.50/hour. I was good, and I've still got - and still use - my employee discount card. 🙂

I worked for about two years at a Subway sandwich shop. That first summer was hellish because the A/C wasn't working. Baking bread in 100-degree weather is cruel and unusual punishment! 😉

I worked at Johnny Rockets and Melting Pot. Neither of them really count as fast food, but Rockets is a burger joint so I'm holding to that one.

I developed Point of Sale software used in a local subway: does that count?
