Fries Story

I read this story from the week, and pondered upon it.

I worked in the early 80s with a Air Force guy who sought out a part-time job and ended up at a McDonalds.  

We got into a talk one day....he'd been at the McDonalds for six weeks so far, and had mastered all of the 'skills' (burgers, shakes, fries, cash register, etc).  

At the six week point....the crew-chief one night was fired, and this guy (having six weeks on his belt)....was elevated to crew-leader status.  I'll admit this guy was 25....a Staff Sergeant, and born to be a multi-task guy.

On this published story....I honestly believe that you could take a 12-year old kid....spend 20 minutes training him, and make a decent fry-guy out of him.

People trying to claim some special skill?  BS.
