“When I was 15, I worked at the local McDonald’s in Stittsville, Ontario. It was my second-ever job after under-the-table dishwashing at a Cajun joint and I was excited to see how the mince was made in an iconic restaurant chain. Reality was we had a few laughs — like the time my buddy put pot in the muffin mix — but the job itself was long, hard, badly paid and meant you had to simultaneously deal with an indifferent owner and customers who were surprisingly demanding for a drunk buying a $4 burger at midnight. One day I was asked to rummage through the trash to find a customer’s glasses. … I quit and started working as a grocery store cashier instead, where I stayed for about seven years. Same demanding customers, but sufficiently less greasy to count as a vertical move.” (04/15/25)
