I know I've told the story here before about how when I worked at Burger King as a teenager every now and then we'd run out of burger meat and every single goddamn customer would make the same stupid joke, "but I thought this was Burger King?" and it would be the worst day ever.

Also I have never eaten at Popeye's and not regretted it within 30 minutes. I've been known to live-tweet my regret coming on.
