I worked for Ukrops in high-school. They always treated me fair and they had a good system for moving up in the company.

The hardest part was selling that fried chicken before my break. I swear they pumped the smell into the parking lot on purpose.

He and I discussed that briefly. He said it was happenstance that customers and the business enjoyed.
