I run a Burger King.

You mentioned firing single parents before. I was wondering why you fired them.

Would you mind sharing?

FW:

My mom ran a Burger King. She ran several, actually. The former owner of all of them in Alaska had her go into trouble stores and sort them out. She was very capable in this regard.

I mention this because I just had a conversation with her about this stuff. She was adamant about never going on welfare. It was a point of pride for her.

She still doesn't have her GED or any kind of proof of education, she attended a Hungarian Catholic Boarding School located in Bravaria when *whoops* I came along.*
She left the school (and her horrible, abusive, alcoholic mother), moved to the US with my dad yadda yadda blah blah--->We ended up in Alaska, he left her with two kids to feed and zero job skills.

Anyhow, just the other day I told her that it would have been nice if she had gotten on welfare and went to fucking school. I'm kind of resentful that she didn't. She never thought she was smart enough, never bothered to look at the options.

After going though years of barely having non-fast food in the house, never having clothes that weren't worn over and over to their bitter end, never having enough school supplies, I was REJECTED for any financial assistance for school because she married some fundie ASSHOLE who made JUST ENOUGH for the government to believe that I could afford it on my own. Then she divorced him.

Moral? I don't think there's one. But shit's fucked up.



*Apparently, my father assured her that "You don't catch pregnant the first time."

I'm a bit confused about the time line here.  You were unhappy with her running Burger Kings and preferred she went on welfare and went to school instead?

When exactly was there no non-fast food on the table?  While she was running Burger Kings?

I'm not being deliberately obtuse.  I honestly don't follow your anecdote.

[Salty]

Yeah, at the time, her best option for school would have been to go on welfare, apply for whatever financial aid she could get. That would have been nice because it would have shown me more possibilities, options for how to live a life. As opposed to being "fine" with the bare minimum, which I not only adapted to but actively sought.

Most of what I ate from age 7 to 16 was fast food. It would also have been nice to eat human food. No offense, but I've gotten pretty fucking sick of burger king.

That sucks.  I make it a point not to feed my daughter fast food.  In fact, I don't even eat it myself.

It sounds to me like the employer (I'm guessing a franchisee) was a really cheap bastard.  I make a pretty good living doing what I do.  I have to guess that she wasn't being paid nearly what she should have been paid.  That's unfortunate.

As much as I'm an advocate for attending college (it wasn't an option NOT to for my elder daughter, nor will it be an option for my younger) I find that many with an associate's or bachelor's degree have a hard time finding a job that pays as well the positions in my career field.  A degree doesn't seem to carry the same clout as it used to.  I've had assistants whose educational background put mine to shame.

[Suu]

I wait tables with a college degree.

[Salty]

These are good and valid points.

But I think that just getting her GED alone would have opened some doors. Plus, AK is pretty job-rich, especially in the 90's.

And yeah, he boss was a cock.

Case in point.



Sorry to hear that Suu.

Sadly, I fear the same fate for my own daughter.

What the hell.  In case there was any doubt before, this proves just how awful Billy Ray Cyrus is at being a father and a human.  Okay, well, maybe he's really good at being a human, but he is a suck-ass father.  Goddamn.

Have I in the past?  No. 

However, if one were to steal from me or not do her job, I would do so in a heartbeat.

Just curious, are you one of those creepy interweb perverts that get their rocks off on firing single mothers?  Because that's just freaking sick!!

pussy!
