Life and Times of Fast Food Workers

Matt Erickson of the Brainerd Dispatch in Brainerd, MN has written an interesting article profiling some fast food workers in his town.

an excerpt:

For the past 13-1/2 years, save for an 18-month break, Bakkila has been employed at Burger King in west Brainerd. Outside of managerial duties she has handled every aspect of the job - cashier, cook, prep and maintenance. She has worked with five of her seven children at Burger King.

Though not her full-time job - she also works at Wal-Mart Supercenter in Baxter - Bakkila has no plans of quitting her work at Burger King. The job provides a second income and, more importantly to Bakkila, a second family.
