I'm not really sure what I would label this as a poem or short story or what.  Sorry for punctuation and Feedback is appreciated. =)


                             


Today there was a girl in a shop, hunger thought, thirst for knowledge, burger stop, even has its own college.
Patty flip flop, it remains on top, onion or cheese? So many questions oh jeez,
It's making me want it more, middle of the rush and they're even scrubbing the floor,
the glass on the door, even outside of the store! Still looking at the menu....isn't there more?
He replies "Nope just burgers galore, company's a roar, McDonald's is sore. But we stay strong, we teach etiquette among."
None of that for here or to go? How about Would you like to eat that here? He speaks with kindess to her ear.
She smiles and replies "yes", the associate even compliments her dress.
She's a hot mess, but still impressed. Starts to understand why, everyone is so obsessed.
She starts to think, goes to fill up her drink.
Fresh brewed tea, ice on real sliced lemons, the worker next to her is smiling, cleaning, and even wearing new linens.
She smiles, checks the isles, looks for a seat, she'll sit inside, or dine in to eat.
She finds rest to her feet. "Wow this atmosphere cant be beat!"
Except for the sun shining through, allthough the many windows provided a magnificent view, to all those who, decided to look askew.
The associate who, was cleanin' by the lemonade, walks over and says "Here let me get this shade, and by the way, how are you today?
We'll be getting you on your way, short-lay.".
"Thanks I appreciate it", he replies "no worries, just don't eat your food in a hurry.
Every ingredient quality ensured see, daily deliveries. Best of the best, all our ingredients, differ from the rest."
She's put to the test... "GUEST! Number 8, 9, and 10!".
She grabs a pen-no, shuffles again-no, cant find the receipt, n' shes dying to eat.
Gets on her feet and looks underneath the seat. Her heart now complete its time to eat .
She Goes up to the counter and says "Oh look I found it".
The man handing it out says "I got you pound it!".
Astounded, dumb founded, feeling surrounded, than she found it.
Salt, pepper, napkins, and ketchup.
A man shouts from the kitchen, great job now lets catch up!
She squirts more ketchup, goes back to the counter.
She asks "Can I get some of those little yellow chilies... and could you turn down the air? I'm feeling kinda chili.".
"Oh really? no problem anythings a possibility".
"They are real to me, seems they feel for me?" She thought.
"All cause of the burger I bought? The thought fought.
An answer she sought, then came the chilies he brought.
He got, 1 extra, said in case she dropped it than he tossed it
With a smile so big , she almost lost it, but he knew she bought it.
Blushed and flushed laughing "Oh stop it! You guys are really on top of it!
All I wanted was a burger,  took me to the next step and a little further, Im sure there, well paid here hey? Ask if I may?".
A strange look on his face.. as he began to say
"You know they, focus on more, than any store, the roots, and the core, and the training.
Instill pride and develop communicating. Encouraged questioning and validated answers. Respect and teamwork, and plenty of manners.
The planners, the 'shift' people. They shift people.
Their in control, and responsible of any dispositions, and anyone who makes bad decisions its a mission, the shift person position. I know because right now I'm in transition. Anyways, pardon me if this is rude mam, but look at the small hand,  you should go eat your food and enjoy your food. I hope we helped your mood.".
She just stood, as if she was misunderstood, as she hardly could, believe a burger joint would, do all it could, and always would, do it all it should, to treat every customer, with all its good.  She was hooked for good.
Her food looked good and she knew she should, be on her way.
She grabbs the tray, and he says to her "Hey-thanks, have a great day.".
"Yeah you to ay?" is all she could manage to say.
When she sits down at the table, not one single part is unstable, every thing is perfect with a nice shiny label.
Spotless and sparkling the service here was startling.
Stopped here just for a burger-n-fries, but this kind of stuff could change peoples lives!
No drive through rink-a-dink. All the workers move in sync.
The french fry dicer clinks as they're chopping fries into sinks.
The cooks spatula tinks, people washing hands at every sink.
"They actually care what the customers think" she proceeds to think "man this place is on the brink!"

--------- Below is a authors note I guess you could call it, and I am as well an employee of the company\\\\\\



Cleanliness you can see, quality you can taste, best of its class, and only in 4 states.
Several new opening dates and exceeding turnover rates.
Opens doors and gates, garages of opportunity, works shops and classes offer a new view to see.
Things like the possibilities in humility.
Act positively and avoid obscenity. Act responsibly and lead the vicinity.
And Burgers, burgers, burgers, multiplying times infinity!
Fries, drinks, and shakes, people gotta think instinctively.
Awareness effects, our positivity. Training results in our outcome-see.
Training is our future, a couple hypatheticals or a few-sure.
The only way that you can lose-sir, or miss,
is if you accept or choose the dis-,
disappointment or dissatisfaction, you choose, and your left with an equal reaction.
Its faction, real and fake, its whatever you make.
So for your sake stop the wait, and FEEL great-Today!
Now! And THINK good too!
'Cause it all goes around and comes back to you.
