Yeah but would you rather flip burgers and smell like french fries the whole time? Driving people around is not completely unpleasant in comparison.

My sister had the great fortune to work at Wendy's when she was a teenager, and I remember picking her up from work and her absolutely reeking of raw onions, from having to place them on all the burgers. The smell would not dissipate for hours even with intense hand washing.
