Worked in a kitchen called “The Captains Den” at Sea World in 1978 earning $2.65 an hour. We would stand and cook the burgers and fries during the show breaks and be on our hands and knees scrubbing between them. “If you got time to lean, you got time to clean”.
Sometimes, when you opened a frozen box of burger patties. The top patty would be green on top and the others would be green around the edge. Instructed by the supervisor to throw the top patty out and cook the others.
Another time, the burgers were coming out not fully cooked. Supervisor told me to shut up, they continue to cook in the box.
