Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

I mean, the guy who used the restaurant term was giving directions directly to a restaurant.

A "fast food joint" is not a restaurant in that sense. Nobody with any common sense would expect a bunch of kids working their (likely) first job for spending money to be up on, or care about, restaurant jargon.

So many people in here saying teenagers. It's often older people who work these shit minimum wage jobs. How could McDonald's be open at noon on a Wednesday if it was being run by a bunch of high school kids?

Didn't mean to single you out really it's just the fourth time in this thread I saw someone say fast food is a bunch of kids. It's really fucking poor adults. Trust me I was one.

Probably because that's what the OP said were working there

That's an absolutely fair point.

Nevertheless, my overall point stands. Each fast food place I worked at had their own chain specific jargon. Nobody used, or cared about, sit-down restaurant jargon.
