Burger King might want us.

I just realized, if some MTs are willing to work all the hours it takes to make their line count without legal and required compensation, maybe we should all let Burger King know what a deal we are. Why they could give us a job and tell us we must Flip 500 Burgers a day to make our rate (8x hourly rate), and then, if people came in and stood around trying to decide what they wanted, and their kids raised cain and slowed things down to, and if people who like to dig in their pockets for the exact change kept us from Flipping burgers, and because of all these things we still had another 100 burgers to flip when it was our quitting time, just think how great it sould be for Burger King if we would punch out and work off the clock (that is called working for free), just so we could get that last 100 burgers flipped, because if we don't get 500 burgers flipped in our shift, we would lose our benefits. How many would line up for a job like this? How many MTs would allow their Teenagers to work for a place that did this. And please remember, this is just a scenario, Burger King doesn't do this, but since they are my favorite burger joint their name just popped up!!!
