Personally, I've had some lousy jobs over the years (though I'm quite content with my current employer) but I have never had the misfortune to work FAST FOOD.
A friend of mine who worked at an Arby's in Durham, NC, maintains that this is one of the very worst line of work a person can be in.
Today, we once again feature Winston-Salem, NC, as our feature city for this series within a series pertaining to summer jobs this month. (We have run the Silly Photo/Picture to Fill Space series on Tuesdays for quite a while now).
In Camel City, there are many places where one can possibly find such employment opportunities in this field including The Bear Rock Cafe on South Stratford Road, The Boston Market on Jonestown Road (not named after the Rev. Jim Jones- we presume) and the Dairy Queen on Silas Creek Parkway.
While all of these are national or regional chains, there appears to be at least one local establishment in town called Jimmy the Greek's Kitchen near Wake Forest University on University Parkway, which is not to be confused with the more upscale Jimmy the Greek's Taverna in Boca Raton, Fla.
SIDEBAR: The Winston-Salem Dash were winners last night in Kinston, NC, over their in-state Carolina League rivals the Kinston Indians by a 7-2 margin. The other local Triad team, the Greensboro Grasshoppers also won their game over the visiting Charleston (SC) Seadogs (or is spelled SeaDawgs?!) 7-6 though the 'Hoppers aren't quite as lucky at the moment as their day game this p.m. is being held up by the rain.
SIDEBAR TWO: Another local favorite, the band Holy Ghost Tent Revival (based in Greensboro) is fresh off Floyd Festival in nearby Floyd, Va., and this weekend they will be playing at Callaghan's Irish Social Club on Saturday in Mobile, Alabama, at 7:00 p.m. I imagine my friend Jordan Green, a reporter at "Yes Weekly" has seen them perform many times (I haven't as of yet!).
