The fictional fast food restaurant is a unique establishment. 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. Usually, they are spurred to employment by a specific financial need, and a failure of "The Bank of Mom and Dad" to pony up. But the fast food joint seems to deliberately go out of its way to torture the unfortunate teenagers and/or unlucky adults who work there. 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. 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 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. 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. Ironically, this can have the reverse effect; after all, who would be proud of working at a fast food joint? Wikipedia refers to these as "McJobs". 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. The median age of fast food workers is 29, which is quite a bit older than high school or college age. 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. Sometimes, the character tends to have braces to show that they are a young, uncool nerd stuck working at a dead-end job. Similar workers can be found at Suck E. Cheese's. For the non-restaurant alternative, see Soul-Sucking Retail Job and Soul-Crushing Desk Job. Compare to Apathetic Clerk and World-Weary Waitress. On the other hand, some find Happiness in Minimum Wage. The next step up the "ladder" is working at a Kitschy Themed Restaurant. |

The Devil is a Part-Timer!: The story's entire premise is that a demon king accidentally strands himself and his top demon general on Earth while pulling a Villain: Exit, Stage Left. While the general tries to find a way back home, the Demon King (Maoh) gets a job at the local MgRonalds to support them. However, the job isn't depicted as hellish at all, and Maoh ends up on the management fast-track because of his empathy for the customers, level-headed mentoring of his co-workers, and ability to stay cool under pressure. Much of the show's humor is derived from the juxtaposition of the two worlds, such as Maoh giving a "Today the night-shift manager, tomorrow the world!" speech with a completely straight face. | |

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled has Toxic Burger and Nuclear Pizza, both of which were introduced in the Gasmoxia Grand Prix.

The characters themselves originated in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode Baffler Meal, where they were the mascots of a restaurant called Burger Trench which (according to Moltar and Zorak) didn't have very good food. Schedule Slip and Executive Meddling over the supposed Spotlight-Stealing Squad nature of the Aqua Teens in the episode made it air after ATHF debuted, however. Remnants of the original script ended up evolving into Kentucky Nightmare. | |

That '70s Show : Fatso Burger, Eric's temporary job in season 1, is mediocre, he has a silly outfit, and his boss is embarrassing. He's afraid to quit because his hardass father Red wants him to learn responsibility and all that stuff, even though his girlfriend and mother both try hard to get him to quit. Eventually he does quit, and Red doesn't mind. Jackie subverts this trope when she's forced to get a job at a cheese shop. The job doesn't seem all that bad, but as a Spoiled Brat Jackie is upset at having to work in the first place. Being teased by Hyde doesn't help her attitude out either. She does cheer up quite a bit, however, when she gets her first paycheck. |

The Simpsons: Krusty Burger is the biggest example, complete with pimple-faced geeky teens working there (and, in one case, an elderly man [Grampa Simpson]). The "secret sauce" is actually mayonnaise that's been left out in the sun all day. And as George H. W. Bush points out in "Two Bad Neighbors", the name "Krusty Burger" itself isn't all that appetizing. Krusty himself is disgusted by the product; when he has to take a bite out of one while filming a commercial, he spits it out after the director yells "Cut!" then takes a swig of whiskey, then spits out the whiskey, saying through a sickened expression, "gonna be tasting that for weeks!" The boondocks outside Springfield are apparently home to even less savory chains, with names like "Burger Place", "Skobo's", and "Dimwillie's". In the Flashback episode "I Married Marge", Homer worked at a place called "Gulp N Blow" which was just as bad. (They wouldn't even tell him what was in their secret sauce.) The "Future-Drama" episode has Lisa starting Hot Dog on a Stick management camp after her college scholarship was revoked (thanks to Bart). |

Musical horror comedy, Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead - When a Ku Klux Klan funded military-themed fried chicken chain, The Chicken Bunker, builds a restaurant build over an ancient Indian burial ground, the chickens killed take their revenge by taking "possession" of the customers and turning them into "fowl" zombies. The restaurant is meant to be the ultimate example of Burger Fool (despite being a chicken fast-food restaurant). Includes necrophiliac chicken humping, shit-stained restrooms, skirt wearing senior male employees, masturbation in chicken grinders, delicious vats of chicken beaks and claws, cash register humping (lot of sex in here isn't there?), chicken buckets slathered with human waste and excrement, vomiting, ravenous drumsticks, acid nuggets, and the aforementioned zombie chickens. | |

Old World of Darkness RPG Werewolf: The Apocalypse has the burger chain O'Tolley's as a subsidiary to Pentex. While many of its restaurants are relatively normal, there are also some which slip evil spirits or the other white meat in the burgers, and transform their employees into spiritually possessed freaks. All of them, however, conform to the standards laid out by this page. As the splatbooks say: In most part-time jobs, teenagers learn vital business skills, decision making and other abilities that will help them in life. While working for O'Tolley's, they learn to make burgers. Period. | |

Beavis And Butthead work at Burger World, which is a fairly realistic amalgamation of the McDonald's and Burger King fast food franchises. The usual humiliation aspect is absent, as the store is just another place for the boys to take their roughhousing and Toilet Humor such as frying up worms and throwing meat patties around. The job is still horrible, but they're just too stupid to notice. Their Manager is treated as sympathetic in that he only yells at them because they deserve it. Oddly, he doesn't ever fire them, even when their pranks once caused the health inspectors to close the store. | |

In a flashback sequence in G.I. Joe: Renegades, we learn that Duke briefly worked the drive-through of a fast food joint between high-school and the Army. Flint rubs it in when he isn't bragging about the tackle he'd landed on Duke at a football game that won his school a state championship. Subverted at the end of the scene when Flint sees Duke leaving for home on crutches; knowing the injury is his fault, he realizes he's being cruel and offers Duke a ride. | |

Roseanne does a stint at a chicken joint as one of her many odd jobs over the series to keep her family afloat. It's not too bad, but her barely legal boss has a superiority complex and can't understand how her family comes before her responsibility to him. The family actually makes more fun of her when she gets a job sweeping hair at a salon. Notable in that the episode, "Chicken Delight" was written by Joss Whedon. | |

An episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force revolved around Frylock and Shake getting a job at "Slurp-a-Lunch", a restaurant which serves smoothies made from pureed meat. The characters themselves originated in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode Baffler Meal, where they were the mascots of a restaurant called Burger Trench which (according to Moltar and Zorak) didn't have very good food. Schedule Slip and Executive Meddling over the supposed Spotlight-Stealing Squad nature of the Aqua Teens in the episode made it air after ATHF debuted, however. Remnants of the original script ended up evolving into Kentucky Nightmare. |

Hang Time features Julie and Mary-Beth selling corn dogs in outfits that are surprisingly much more Fanservice-y than dorky. They look more like cheerleader costumes than your typical fast food outfit depicted on a sitcom might. However, Mary Beth lampshaded this trope by threatening to beat up anyone who laughed at her outfit (not that they would have anyway). | |

The episode "Grande Size Me", has Ron insist that Bueno Nacho's food is "healthy" and decide to eat only their meals for a month in an attempt to prove himself right. This attempt fails spectacularly as Ron ends up not only becoming fat and unhealthy, but turning into a 15 foot tall hulk-like creature with an enormous appetite, due to Dr. Drakken's latest Evil Plan requiring someone with the body chemistry of someone who's eaten nothing but Bueno Nacho food for an extended period of time. Humorously, this was the show creators' way of getting back at Disney, who forced them to do a "healthy eating" episode. | |

Rocko's Modern Life had a restaurant called Chokey Chicken (later Retconned to "Chewy Chicken" due to the censors finally noticing), which specifically parodied the omnipresent nature of places like McDonald's. One great example is the episode where Rocko brings Heffer to France and tries to get him to try some new cuisine. They just end up eating at a Chokey Chicken that has been built into the Eiffel Tower. | |

In the first volume of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Yugi and Joey want to go out for lunch at Burger World, (Burger Palooza in the English dub) but Tea tries to steer them away from it, saying that it's a terrible place to eat. Why? She works there, and doesn't want Joey to blab about it to the school, because kids at Domino High School (like at some real-life Japanese high schools) aren't allowed to hold jobs. (Note: In the English dub of the anime, the reason for her not wanting them to talk was changed from "High school students can't hold jobs" to "I'm not old enough to work here.") Still, it was a better job than what they were afraid she was doing to make money, working as a paid escort for rich businessmen, something that, it was rumored, the other female students were doing to make money. (And yes, as far as Japan goes, this is also Truth in Television, unfortunately.) | |

Garfield: In this strip, Jon and Garfield order from a drive-through of a place like this, and the wise guy clerk makes a crack at Garfield's weight. (Which as you can see, he doesn't like much.) There's also Irma's Diner, a Greasy Spoon that offers unappealing items: the tea tastes like transmission fluid, ordering "what that guy's having" results in that guy's food being taken from him, and Irma doesn't know if she gives free refills on coffee, because no one's ever asked for a second cup before. Despite the disgusting food, Garfield and Jon frequently eat there. This strip has Garfield and Jon eat at Binky Burger, where the clerk is dressed up as Binky the Clown's friend Biff and looks very depressed. Jon asks if he doesn't like his job, and the guy replies with "You try to get a date in this get-up, pal". |

King of the Hill played this to the hilt with Bobby's first job, selling food at racing events. Too bad his boss is a brain-damaged psychopath who demands Bobby refund him when his bad math shows an impossibly large loss, tries to force Bobby to run across an active racetrack to bring him a soda, and can't even remember the kid's name. When Bobby complained to his Dad, Hank assumes Bobby just wants to quit and was told to suck it up and enjoy it for the sake of building character. It's only later Hank realizes everything Bobby said was true, and gives the Boss a beat-down. | |

After failing to win the WWE Championship back from Randy Orton and being harassed by Orton's hand-picked goons Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase in the summer of 2009, Triple H decided to get D-Generation X back together. He journeyed to Texas to find Shawn Michaels (who was in the middle of a 10-Minute Retirement from WWE at this point) only to find the "Heartbreak Kid" working as a chef in a corporate cafeteria. Michaels at first claims that he's happy with his new job and doesn't want to return to WWE, even though his boss is a sadistic martinet and the boss's bratty prepubescent daughter takes advantage of her position as Daddy's Little Villain to constantly annoy and even abuse the employees. HBK finally decides to rejoin DX after realizing that he isn't any good at being a chef, burning his white chef's hat and kicking his boss in the face mid-tirade. | |

Married... with Children: As if his first job wasn't humiliating enough, Al Bundy (then Peg, after Al finds out that Peg's make-up selling job is costing her more money than she's making) was forced to take a second job as a cook at Burger Trek in one episode. The burgers are made out of kangaroo, the special sauce is mixed in a plastic trash can from a noxious powder made from something that washes out the color on tomatoes, and Al is constantly berated by an obnoxious manager half his age (played by Pauly Shore) for forgetting to say "Whoosh" when he drops the burger down the chute. Al's daughter Kelly gets a couple of these jobs as well. One involves her working as a roller-skating waitress at "Bill's Hilltop Drive-In", where she's fired out of a chute and ends up flying down the expressway before crashing into the front door of the Bundy house. Another one has her working as a waitress at a more generic diner. She ends up adopting some of her father's mannerisms, including crying "Oh God!" at how crappy her job is, or putting her hand down her skirt when she gets home after a hard day. |

Waiting... offers a somewhat downplayed example with the titular restaurant Shenanigans, but this trope is in full-swing once you get past the kitsch facade of a family restaurant and get into the back room. Low-quality "food" that's prepared in microwaves, a soul-draining loser of a manager, and employees who are so miserable they cheer themselves up by flashing their penises at each other, spitting in the food of rude customers, and getting completely mangled every night after work. | |

When Emu uses it, it grants a pair of rollerskates and a helmet, armor that's designed to look like a burger and a set of ketchup and mustard guns on the wrists.

A surprisingly sympathetic example occurs in Scrapped Princess, where Pacifica and crew stop at an inn and have to sell "Soopy Buns" to earn their tab. Part of the job entails dressing up as a green Barney-like mascot named "Soopy-kun" and peddling the innkeeper's wares to customers. The innkeeper is actually nice to them, and Raquel enjoys doing the work, while Pacifica tries donning the costume and winds up scaring a little boy away when the jaw of the costume falls off. Leo takes the "Soopy-kun" job for a while when Pacifica leaves, but he gets to keep it with him when he returns to the city with Winia later on. | |

Undertale has the MTT-Brand Burger Emporium in Hotlands, owned and operated by showbiz-crazed robot Mettaton. The food served includes "glamburgers", hamburgers made with sequins and glitter, and a steak cut in the shape of Mettaton's face. The cashier is a cynical, neurotic wannabe actor known as Burgerpants (named so after an incident where he smuggled some burgers in his pants and attempted to bring them to another vendor) who is clearly tired of the forced cheeriness that comes with his position. His job had ground him down so badly he hardly reacts if you threaten him during a No Mercy run, dryly remarking "I can't go to hell. I'm all out of vacation days." In Deltarune, Burgerpants now works at a Suck E. Cheese's, and he is still just as upset about his job as ever. |

Dave Lister of Red Dwarf dreams of starting his own fast food restaurant, even going so far as to design the silly hat. The dream falls by the wayside long before there's the remotest chance of the restaurant itself becoming a reality, but not before an episode in which a race of super-evolved housecats build their religion around it. | |

The Luann Comic strip featured the title character's older brother Brad working at Weenie World twice. The first time was as a teen during the 1990's while the second time was during his layoff from his career as a firefighter. Averted following his second stint when Brad was replaced by best friend T.J. As a member of the Weenie World family, T.J. managed to make his boss's life a living hell by doing everything better than she could including successfully upselling customers. | |

One episode of American Dad! has Hayley become an assistant manager at a Subway-esque sandwich shop. She finds the job too demanding and monotonous, not helped by how Stan tells her in no uncertain terms that [she will spend the rest of her life trapped in that demeaning, mind-numbingly repetitive dead-end job with no prospects for a life beyond her employment — except Stan thinks that's a good thing because he's spent his whole life obsessively conforming to outdated societal norms, thus his unsophisticated belief that a stable job is all you need for a happy, successful life. The grueling nature of Hayley's employment is cemented when Hayley's boss cheerfully tells her to put away her phone because she's not allowed to think about the outside world. | |

Ramen Fighter Miki is a Deconstructive Parody of the Fighting Series that shows the life of two Kanban Musumes (poster girls) of the Onimaru Chinese Restaurant and the Huet Bakery in the small Hanami town Shopping District. Their job is to attract clients to their respective business and make deliveries. They subvert this trope, being two young childish Arrogant Kung Fu Guys whose constant fighting, slacking on the job and generous quantity of Mundane Made Awesome avoid the soul crushing boring related with this trope. | |

Billy vs. SNAKEMAN has Burgerninja (not actually staffed by ninja, originally; the player sort of gets in by accident), where the food is disgusting and the customers are horrible. The biggest challenge when you run the till is to keep yourself from killing the customers in a fit of rage. Eventually you end up burning the place down with a giant robot and taking your coworkers to start a pizza shop instead, which works so much better. (The food is better and your manager allows you to stab problem customers.) | |

After losing his job at the comic shop and being denied unemployment insurance, Mike of Something*Positive picks up a job at a local frog-themed burger chain. The usual problems of stupid customers and paradoxical corporate bureaucracy ("the bathrooms must be sparkling clean, but we'll charge you for using cleaning supplies more than once a month") set in quickly. The fact that he accepts this fate stoically and almost cheerfully indicates some very impressive character development, though. Mike later finds employment at a different fast-food joint, and is surprised (and a little disturbed) to find that it's an aversion of this. The manager specifically tells Mike that being an employee there doesn't mean he has to take crap from anyone, customer or not. |

She has to wear a yonic meat hat and sing a song every time she gets a tip, thanking the customer for letting them "handle their meat." This actually makes Jessi sympathize with her.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has multiple ridiculous fast food restaurants. Burger Shot and Cluckin' Bell in particular both equip their employees with ridiculous headgear (at least those in Well-Stacked Pizza, another major fastfood chain, have regular caps); this seems to have had a particularly harrowing effect on Cluckin' Bell's employees. OG Loc, a friend of CJ, is assigned to Burger Shot by his parole agreement as a "hygiene technician" (aka janitor), and one early mission involves getting caught in a drive-by at a local Cluckin' Bell drive-thru (a drive-by in which Big Smoke refuses to participate, because he's too busy eatingnote that, and the fact that he's also secretly in cahoots with the Ballas, but that's another story). | |

In each of the three locations you can visit is a curiously identical relative of Bernard Bernoulli who will have the same conversation with you.

One of the most memorable sketches from The State, "Service with a Smile", took place at the insanely-hostile Burger Hut, where a potential customer is scared off by the cashier's screaming of orders to Carl, the Butt-Monkey cook ("CHICKEN SANDWICH, CARL!").

Steven Universe: Played with and ultimately subverted concerning Peedee's job at Beach Citywalk Fries: It's a Family Business (he'd be too young to work there otherwise), so he's really doing it because he's The Dutiful Son. Though he's introduced being miserable with his work in "Frybo", it's really just because the job he's given is to promote the store wearing a mascot costume. After he gets a counter position (and the Frybo costume is destroyed), Peedee loves his job almost too much. Lars and Sadie work at the Big Donut, the food place Steven visits the most. Though it doesn't seem a terrible place to work, they're implied to have kept working there for years only because, despite appearances, they enjoy each other's company. Once Lars is out of town and off-planet, Sadie has to run the store herself. The workload and loneliness really get to her, and she calls it a dull waste of her youth. Despite this, Sadie keeps at it purely to maintain a sense of normalcy before quitting entirely. One notable thing about the Big Donut is that there seems to be no manager, just Lars and Sadie following corporate edicts and no other employees. Once both of them stop working there, the place is just closed until ex-Mayor Dewey starts working there. |

Super Mario World (1991) had King Koopa open a fast-food joint, Scoopa Koopa's. While working there wasn't too terrible, the food itself was addictive, calorie-filled, and had nasty side-effects that turned customers into chickadactyls. Koopa's ultimate plan was to turn everyone into chickens and open a second restaurant to sell them as fried chicken. | |

Better Call Saul follows up the statement in Breaking Bad that Saul's best case scenario after going into hiding would be "managing a Cinnabon in Omaha", showing that is exactly what happened. And it absolutely sucks, as Saul's days are filled with monotony, mediocrity, loneliness, baking buns, and the constant fear that someone will recognize him, a far cry from his famed and wealthy criminal lawyer/conman days. He eventually can't stand it anymore, and at the first opportunity, goes back to his conman ways, which leads to him being recognized, caught, and sent to supermax. He finds prison is actually better in comparison, as he's still baking goods, but he doesn't have to hide who he really is, he can get visits from his ex-wife, and his fellow prisoners respect him. | |

In Big Daddy, Sonny Koufax (Adam Sandler) has venomous contempt for the restaurant chain Hooters and the people (especially the women) who work there. His friend, Kevin Gerrity (Jon Stewart), is similarly humiliated when his fiancee is forced to admit in court that her first job was as a Hooters waitress. At the end of the film, Sonny is taken to Hooters for his birthday dinner and jokes to his pals that "I'm gonna sue you assholes for making me come here." The whole thing wraps up with a Brick Joke as we see that Sonny's smug, buttoned-up ex-girlfriend is now forced to waitress there in the chain's iconic tank top and short-shorts after making an unethical career move earlier in the movie. | |

The 1997 comedy film, Good Burger, which was based on the recurring sketch from Nickelodeon's All That. Featuring loveable idiot Ed who loves his job as much as his brain can allow, while his snarky sidekick, Dexter, is the epitome of Burger Fool. As far as fast food jobs go, the employees weren't treated badly and they all seemed to like each other and Good Burger. Their rival Mondo Burger, on the other hand, treated their employees as slaves and had a hellish boss. | |

Space Quest gives us various appearances of Monolith Burger, sporting a big yellow M to boot. In the third game you visit a franchise that has its own small space station. The fourth game has you assembling burgers via mini-game in a different franchise to acquire much-needed credits. You are guaranteed to be fired from the restaurant, being literally thrown out by the manager, once the burgers move too fast to properly assemble. In one fan remake it's possible to find a Monolith Burger behind a machine in the restaurant. Sitting at the empty booth and eating the burger will cause Roger to die by vomiting his skeleton. |

The Shadowchasers Series stories: The series introduces the Pandora's Box, an up-and-coming chain of fast food places with a fantasy RPG theme. Subverted in that, while very trite, it's not a bad place, and is very popular among Shadows, attracting them as customers and employees (especially unskilled ones in the latter case; Shadowkind like kobolds and goblins have found that they can make money working at Pandora's Box simply by being themselves.) In the fic Shadowchasers: Conspiracy, an important character actually works at a Pandora's Box, and doesn't exactly like it, calling the place a "grease pit" (although she does appreciate the employee discount). It's implied that she's doing it to earn money while focusing on an important plot-related task. |

It's precisely because the job is so bad with so little reward that she decides to pose as an older secretary to work at a big firm instead. | |

On Kim Possible, the pseudo-Mexican eatery "Bueno Nacho" figures heavily in the series, but the second episode has Kim and Ron move behind the counter. Kim, usually the best at everything, fails, while Ron invents a hybrid foodstuff called the "Naco" (nacho + taco) that becomes a running gag in the series, and earns a promotion to manager. The Naco sets up another episode plot, when the BN Inc. management send Ron a royalty check for $99 million. Which was doubly hilarious in Mexico, considering what Naco means there... The episode "Grande Size Me", has Ron insist that Bueno Nacho's food is "healthy" and decide to eat only their meals for a month in an attempt to prove himself right. This attempt fails spectacularly as Ron ends up not only becoming fat and unhealthy, but turning into a 15 foot tall hulk-like creature with an enormous appetite, due to Dr. Drakken's latest Evil Plan requiring someone with the body chemistry of someone who's eaten nothing but Bueno Nacho food for an extended period of time. Humorously, this was the show creators' way of getting back at Disney, who forced them to do a "healthy eating" episode. |

This type of restaurant is parodied in Shrek 2, where the Prince and Fairy Godmother go through the fly-though of the Fryar's Fat Boys, a place with a menu that includes Renaissance Wraps, Sourdough Soft Tacos, and the Medieval Meal (comes with regular or curly fries and a toy - namely a battle axe). Not a completely straight example of the Trope, however, as more of the humor focuses on the customers, rather than the employee, although she is dressed like a typical tavern serving maid. | |

Daria, in the episode "It Happened One Nut", had to work at "It's a Nutty, Nutty World", and announce her enthusiasm about nuts to every customer. Squirrels started to attack her because she smelled like nuts as well. In the episode "Mart of Darkness", where several characters find themselves in a Sam's Club-style superstore one weekend afternoon, Daria and Jane find the uber-goth, Andrea, working in a wholesale club in full uniform. She's deathly afraid they will mock her for having that kind of job, as she is aware that Daria and Jane are the school's queens of snark. However, she is pleasantly surprised when the girls reassure her that they understand her position and promise not to tell anyone. |

In Good Omens, Famine opens a chain of fast food restaurants named "Burger Lord." Its employees are perky, in a soulless sort of way, except for that one guy.... Of note is the food it sells. It's a reformulation of MEALS, Famine's line of microwave health dinners, called CHOW. Like MEALS, CHOW contains slightly fewer nutrients than the packaging they sell it in, causing the satisfied customer to die of malnutrition very rapidly, but the evil food scientists working for Famine have found a way to load CHOW with all manner of fat and sugar without increasing other nutritional content, meaning that customers essentially starve to death while growing morbidly obese. Famine finds this endlessly amusing. | |

Compliance is about as dark as this trope gets. The manager at a burger place gets a call from a cop telling her that a young female worker at the store has stolen something and must be strip-searched. The manager blindly follows orders. Said worker then gets subjected to increasingly perverse sexual humiliations, all at the behest of the man on the phone, who turns out to not be a cop at all. Based on a true story. | |

Spider-Man: In Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, Mary Jane has to work at a hippo-themed McDonald's place, which was just one in a string of cruddy jobs. In Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter works for a while at a place with a frog theme. And had to wear a frog hat at all times. Mary Jane, for her part, puts in time at a Hot Dog On A Stick kiosk in the mall. Later on, Peter's manager at the frog place becomes Cloak, of Cloak and Dagger. He actually seems to enjoy the job. Probably because he's the manager. |

Invader Zim gets put in a fast-food restaurant thrice. Each of which portray fast food chains as horrible and disgusting to an absurd, terrifying degree: In "Career Day", he winds up at McMeaties, and thinks that he'll eventually be promoted to ruler of Earth. In "The Frycook What Came From All That Space", he is kidnapped and sent to the dreaded Foodcourtia, a Planet of Hats that serves the sole function of feeding aliens from elsewhere. He has to escape before the dreaded "Foodening", when a flood of customers makes it impossible to leave for twenty years due to the gravity pull (a time warp thing is involved too or something). In "Germs", Zim's germophobic antics lead him to McMeaties again, where he discovers that the meat is germ-free. After asking an employee he discovers that the meat was NASA-developed SPAAAAAAACE MEEEEEEAT! But since they couldn't actually afford SPAAAAAAACE MEEEEEEAT, they made them out of NAPKINS. In "Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain", GIR goes on a rampage to order food at Crazy Taco. To make it worse, one of Zim's various Weaksauce Weaknesses is a horrific allergy to meat. |

Cloud Atlas: Papa Song's Dinery where Sonmi~451 and her fellow clones work is a nightmare version of a fast food restaurant. In the novel, it's strongly implied to literally just be McDonald's, with multiple references to its "Golden Arches", the red and yellow colour scheme, and the Papa Song mascot resembling a clown. The film (very likely to avoid getting sued into oblivion) avoids this, having Papa Song look like an obese, smiling yellow Buddha-like figure, which is strongly thematically relevant on its own, given that Sonmi eventually becomes a REAL Buddha-like being in history herself and Buddha is mentioned very prominently in her story in the novel. | |

Ian Lafferty of Sex Drive works at a bizarre, Mexican-themed donut kiosk in the mall. Part of the job included a huge, slightly racist mascot costume. His close friends didn't hold it against him, but the punk kids at the mall would take advantage of his limited vision in the suit to stick a dildo onto the front of his costume as he wandered around. | |

Season three of Stranger Things had Steve working at an ice cream shop in the new Starcourt Mall called Scoops Ahoy. While it's technically not fast food, it still otherwise meets every element of this trope, right down to Steve's ridiculous sailor uniform. In an ad teasing the Starcourt Mall, he and his co-worker Robin look distinctly unenthused about doing the ad. | |

Danny Phantom had Nasty Burger which is frequently referenced, including a special where a ghost was threatening to kill all of Danny's loved ones by overheating the special nasty sauce (no, "overheating the special nasty sauce" is not an Unusual Euphemism) to kill them. The main character doesn't take a job there to learn any form of An Aesop or some such. Nope, it's just his Local Hangout. There is one character who takes a job there, but it's done to show how bad off her family is financially. |

SpongeBob SquarePants is probably the best-known series to not use this as a one- or two-time thing, but as a regular plot-driver and setting for roughly half the main cast; indeed, one common complaint about the later seasons is that the Krusty Krab gets too much focus. How sucky the place is (on either side of the counter) varies; SpongeBob consistently loves the job, Squidward hates it with a passion, and Mr. Krabs flip-flops between Jerk with a Heart of Gold Team Dad to Jerk with a Heart of Jerk Pointy-Haired Boss depending on what the plot needs at the moment (he once refused to light half the restaurant to save on electricity). | |

That's So Raven: Averted with The Chill Grill, Victor Baxter's restaurant. It's a popular teen hangout, and Raven and Chelsea even get jobs there, but the food is delicious and the uniforms are stylish (though that has something to do with Raven, an aspiring fashion designer, having a hand in making them). Played straight in "Food for Thought", but rather oddly, in that the greasy, sugary fast food isn't in a restaurant, but a school cafeteria. Specifically, a company called Trans-Infinity Farms becomes the local high school's new food supplier, and offers the teens disgustingly huge portions of unhealthy food (including a yard-long hot dog, a stack of pancakes drowning in chocolate syrup, and deep-fried lettuce as a "healthy" option). In an aversion of the usual treatment of this trope, nearly everyone at the school (with the exception of Chelsea) initially loves the new menu—that is, until Raven has a vision of a Big, Fat Future in which every student develops a gigantic ass from eating nothing but junk. |

It's engaged in a shadow war with the incroaching "Pizza Butt" franchise, and there are three assassination jobs where you pick off Pizza Butt executives at their request.

In Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto, Sakamoto helps Kubota get a job at McDoodle's (Bland-Name Product in the anime), and works there himself for one episode. His presence brings in dozens of customers (mostly female, though he does have a few male customers too) who order food "and a smile" from him. | |

On Homestar Runner, the fast-food restaurant "Blubb-O's", which may just consist of a non-sequitur-spouting drive-thru speaker box ("Sever your leg, please, it's the greatest day.") in the middle of nowhere. Coach Z wears a whale costume at one point, and mangles the speaker box's creepy catch phrase to make it creepier ("I'll chop off your legs!") The chain is evidently endorsed by a hip-hop artist who promotes their "Thick n' Nasty" burger. (EEEEEEEEUNGH!) Strong Bad also wears a hot-dog-shaped "sad clown" mascot costume (the "Crying Clown-Dog") at one point to advertise Bubs' Concession Stand. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy Summers once held a job at "the Double-Meat Palace", a fast-food chain specializing in combined beef and chicken sandwiches. Her uniform, absolutely ridiculous, is topped off by the hilarious half-cow/half-chicken ball cap. At one point a vampire refuses to fight her because she smells like the restaurant's food; she stakes him out of spite. The Double-Meat Palace also subverted the usual Buffy tradition of having evil forces being behind everything bad; it turns out that the "beef-chicken sandwiches" were actually made from a cheap plant cellulose extract that's been artificially flavored to taste like real meat, rather than human flesh as Buffy thought it was. This was toned down in later episodes as several fast food chains threatened to withdraw advertisements from the show. There's more. Snyder thinks this will be Buffy's future when he's being more than a Jerkass, and when she runs away from Sunnydale in "Anne", she works as a waitress in a diner, a job she returns to in the comics. In the first instance she clearly doesn't like it, though truckers groping her wouldn't help. In the latter she struggles through a combination of guilt over her actions and being Brought Down to Normal. |

Deconstructed in Unknown Armies, where the co-conspirators of Mak Attax (who to a one work at "The Scotsman") are actually part of an organization dedicated to bringing about a "magical renaissance" by unleashing small doses of magickal energy into people's food, then watching the results (and occasionally helping the victims if the results go bad). They're probably the largest, probably the least competent, and probably the most benign secret conspiracy within the setting. Despite this seeming aversion of the dullness of Burger Fool work, the game is pretty clear that not only do you still have to contend with that soul-crushing banality (which costs them conspirators) but also that the conspiracy stuff itself isn't as much fun as it sounds. On the other hand, despite the monotony and the skepticism they get from the rest of the Occult Underground, they managed to use "the Scotsman" to pull off one of the most successful magical rituals of recent memory by aligning the "chakra points" of the American consciousness. |

Doug had the Honker Burger, which was a hangout but also managed to have a small bit of satire here and there. In one episode, Doug learns that the giant burger mascot everyone torments is his neighbor Mr. Dink. He spends some time in the suit, seeing how cruel the teasing can be, and ultimately wins peoples' respect by using the suit's buoyancy to save somebody from drowning. | |

Trish from Austin & Ally is the personification of New Job as the Plot Demands, so naturally she's been a burger fool a couple times. For example, one episode sees her (and Dez) work at a pirate-themed restaurant that specializes in deep-fried food; Dez being Dez, he quickly starts seeing how much stuff he can deep fry. Eventually, when they need to get fired for plot reasons, they do so by deep-frying almost everything in the restaurant. | |

Breaking Bad naturally twists this in the darkest way possible with Los Pollos Hermanos, a fast food chain in the Albuquerque metro area which serves Chilean-style fried and roast chicken. Except, its owner Gus Fring uses it as a front for his real source of income - his crystal meth distribution network - and he smuggles this meth around in buckets of fry batter. Gus even uses his legitimate business to advance his drug interests—he participates heavily in the community, donates to law enforcement charities, and even caters DEA events for extra irony. | |

James, a.k.a. TheOdd1sOut, worked at Subway (or as he called it, Sooubway) for about a year, and has managed to squeeze a lot of comedy out of the misery he endured there. He believes that everyone should hold either a fast food or retail job for at least six months at least once in their lifetime, so they can understand what sort of crap minimum wage workers have to put up with. Incidentally, James states that he made more money talking about his experiences at Subway than he did actually working at Subway. | |
