College Job

Five dollars on average pays for a McDonnalds value meal. Costs little in comparison to other fast food chains. I think about this as the drawer - clunks open - close and blue painted chipped polished nails scrape against the plastic. Giving a nickel a penny. Even my mind is corporatized here. Commercialized brain waves, I'm trained. I smile that cute big smile, waitress and bartenders have it. I don't know why without the chance of tips I even bother with it, You're meal ( if large sized) pays more than my hour. Tell this to the people in their new SUV's, Isuzus, suburban sedans. Twingy eyed from waiting during dinner. Tight lips, pursed prisses, mini vans with screaming hoards A multitude of lined and organized confusion. The beeping and ringing go off again, damn the collaborated, machinated, soda.... Ok, I mean Pop machine is sticking, cranking, turning--- EEEEHHH ,EEHHHH , EEHHH Minimun wage, It resonants repeatedly boiling in grease inside and out. Beeping and burns Smiles and Thank yous. False family financing, no better than Disney, damn maybe they are already Disney.
