I forget what the circumstances were, but I didn't take it *because*
it was my first day at work.

All my girlfriends (except one) were non-druggies goodie-two-shoes,
but I was frying on a couple first dates as well.

Don't get me wrong, I probably only took it 15-20 times.

Kids, I tell ya.

What's ironic is that I just had a Whooper Jr the day before I wrote
that. I don't remember onions, but those onions are cut a couple
weeks before they make it to a burger, so they're pretty much
tasteless by that time.

The onions come pre-cut to BK. The only thing that is cut on
premises is (was?) the tomatoes (even in the BK's with salad bars).
They don't want employees using knives. And the tomato slicer is
more of an egg slicer.

That might work for you now. What would happen if the old man leaves
for a 30 year old or gets hit by a bus?
