In the Manga version of Azumanga Daioh, Chiyo and Osaka take up summer jobs at the local Magnetron Burger (a parody of McDonald's or the Japanese burger chain, MosBurger).As he is running on a lesser battery, it runs out of power when he gives Trish her order at the drive-thru, causing him to keel over as a result. In a commercial for Duracell batteries featuring The Puttermans, Todd, one of Trish's dates, is shown to work at a fast-food restaurant called Weenie Land.The kid notices that the check is exactly enough to buy the game console advertised and promptly says, "I quit!" (Too bad the kid forgot about paying for other stuff (like tax, electricity, rent, games for the console.minor stuff, you know)). In this commercial for the Nintendo 64, a kid is getting his first paycheck from the manager of Taco Atomico, who starts to wax philosophic about when he joined the work force.

This TV ad for a company selling credit report monitoring tells how a guy is reduced to wearing a pirate outfit, working in a fast-food place every night singing how he is "selling chowder and iced tea" because "some hacker stole my identity." The ad tries to get people to sign up for its service "so you don't end up selling fish to tourists in T-shirts.".The next step up the "ladder" is working at a Kitschy Themed Restaurant. On the other hand, some find Happiness in Minimum Wage. Compare to Apathetic Clerk and World-Weary Waitress.
For the non-restaurant alternative, see Soul-Sucking Retail Job. Sometimes, the character tends to have braces to show that they are a young, uncool nerd stuck working at a dead-end job. The ridiculous headgear, fortunately, is universally less common than it is in fiction as a simple baseball cap, visor, or hairnet is more common to comply with hygienic regulations. The median age of fast food workers is 29, which is quite a bit older than high school or college age. In reality, these jobs can be Truth in Television, but there's an equal chance of them being better or even worse than depicted, because it depends on an individual restaurant's quality of management and workers. Ironically, this can have the reverse effect after all, who would be proud of working at a fast food joint? The standard foil is for the show's underdog to thrive in this environment to the total befuddlement of the "cool" characters who have been successful at everything else except this. This is, however, a Cyclic Trope during economic downturns, even people who "did everything right" can still find themselves working in or applying to these types of positions. Kids or teens may be threatened with working there forever if they don't finish high school, don't attend college, don't do well in either, and/or they only obtain A Degree in Useless. This includes the ridiculous outfit they are required to wear on the job - a silly hat, featuring a cartoonish version of what they serve, is almost a given, along with mandatory happiness enforced by their pointy-haired manager.
Usually, they are spurred to employment by a specific financial need, and a failure of "The Bank of Mom and Dad" to pony up.īut the fast food joint seems to deliberately go out of its way to torture the unfortunate teenagers and/or unlucky adults who work there. It's the most common first job for a TV teen, and will usually teach them a lesson about money, responsibility, or life, mere moments before they quit or are fired for odd reasons. The fictional fast food restaurant is a unique establishment. Squidward to SpongeBob, SpongeBob SquarePants, " My Pretty Seahorse"
