It's a bad assumption to think when a mistake is made at a fast food restaurant that is just because somebody cannot speak English too well and/or somebody is an illegal immigrant. I worked at a FF place my junior year in HS. Back then where I lived it was usually white middle-class kids wanting to earn some extra money who worked fast food. At that Hardees we were all white as snow and under age 20 except for one legal gay immigrant from Africa and the manager (who was white 30-something pothead). My point is that we whitebread middleclass college-bound kids made a shitload of mistakes on fast-food orders (especially at the drive-thru) and despite what MikeK might say we spoke English just fine.
What do you expect for $3.35/hour while working until 1-2am on a school night?
