The Muffin Man used to be a Burger King manager. It was years before he could go into one without getting the urge to leap behind the counter and fix everything that was horribly wrong with every store we went into.
I should say, the Muffin Man used to be the Ultimate Burger King Manager. I think his crew would have walked on hot coals if he'd asked them to. Certainly they worked extra shifts when the day manager would steal his night crew. I fell in love with him watching him dance around the kitchen there, keeping everyone's spirits up with his "Burger Man!" skits and Bing Crosby impressions. I'm very attracted to competence.
(Of course, the corporation abused his loyalty shamelessly, working him 14 hours a day for 6-7 days per week. But I took him away from all that, and now he cooks for me!)
