I was one of three customers at a Burger King in Great Falls MT that had to wait for our orders while the staff kept the drive-thru flowing smoothly. After 15 minutes I said to the guy next to me “This place takes the fast out of fast food”. My order took another ten minutes, the guy beside me put his in before me and was still waiting when I left.
In my teen years I worked at a Ponderosa Steakhouse as a busboy/dishwasher. I watched people deliberately smear condiments on the tables and chairs. The tops of the salt and or pepper shakers were unscrewed for the next unsuspecting customer. When I bussed the table, part of my job in addition to cleaning the table was to make sure the tops on the salt and pepper shakers were screwed down. It wasn’t kids doing this, it was adults.
I just realized: it’s been years since I’d been to a fast food restaurant (except the IKEA restaurant). I don’t remember there everything being bolted down. But then here in Germany you had to pay for the little sacks of condiments and got your cup filled at the counter – no refills.
As I recall, the high chairs at the counter were bolted to the floor and the other seats were booths and there was no way that you could move those. Of course, there was no self serve on the soda or other drinks and if you wanted catsup it was in a holder on the table. I also remember how clowns would unscrew the top of salt shakers, so that it fell off and poured all the salt on the food. I got used to always making sure the caps were screwed down tight.

At our local, an employee caught a preteen with his mouth under the ketchup dispenser, slurping away! Ugh! The kid’s mom was all, “What?”
