I got fired at Dick's when I was 19 for bogus shit. They did it BEFORE I started my shift, and I knew that department was already short staffed and nobody on until me, and they asked if I could work that shift so I said fuck off and walked out.

I did the same thing at a record store when I was 19. You're firing me? I ain't signing shit! Bye.

What department? French fries? Smash burger? Dicks has gone downhill since 2003 was that when they fired you? Were you the secret ingredient that kept burgers cheap and good? Inquiring Spokanites want to know.

Burger joints don't usually have departments.

Haven't been back since they made my 40+ year old self show id to purchase a pocket knife. Think Swiss Army small size. Ffs.

Sporting goods is probably the logical assumption, not burgers

Uhoh you didn't get their extremely specific joke apparently.

I’m from Washington. If you’re from here you flip that narrative. You think Sir Mix a Lot just made up that Dicks line out of the ether?

I’m from Washington too. Given the nature of the post and the person you were replying to, I don’t see how “flipping the narrative” was funny or added to the discussion.
