Why would a vegetarian work in a fast food restaurant?


reply

Not eating meat, doesn't mean you can't sell meat.

reply

Well you take Darlene from Roseanne, she WAS opposed to selling meat in addition to not eating it. Now to the OP, I never wondered about that as a kid, BUT, in the novelization of Good Burger, they explain that Deedee plans to revolutionize the fast food industry from the inside and THAT'S why a vegetarian would work at a hamburger restaurant.

Novelazations don't excuse plot holes (if this really is one).

They also carry more details of the story than the final film does. And the novelization contained photos of scenes NOT in the movie, so it must've been closer to the original script. There was a scene where Kurt gives Ed a pony to bribe him, and Ed rides it into Mondo Burger, and there's a photo of him on the horse, but that wasn't in the movie either.

"It's explained in the novelization" is like saying "It's explained in the sequel/the book its based on/the T.V. spin-off": They're not valid excuses.

reply

That isn't a plot hole. Some vegetarians do work in fastfood and do sell meat.

To receive a paycheck. Plus who knows, she was probably just there for the summer.

To recieve a paycheck perhaps!?
Or that they like working with people and are service-minded!

Why would an environmentalist ever buy and use a computer? They are filled with crap that never break down fully! :D

She needs money. If she works - she can earn money.

reply

Believe me, if no other job is hiring and you desperately need the money you will take any job even if you are totally against what it sells. You'll find a lot of people like that.

It's like an atheist working at a Christian book store. Weird but it happens.

What's a christian book store? A book store that sells 1 book?

There are rows and rows of books.... all authored by Joel Osteen.

reply

I looked him up. Looks like he writes get well soon, how to live your life, "psychobable".

Wikipedia says:
Osteen has written 7 New York Times Bestselling books.

Holy bologna! People are eating it!

reply

Osteen is most commonly known as one of the infomercial televangelists that are on tv early Sunday mornings, along with his super mega sized church and even bigger personal home.

Taken from Wikipedia also:
As of 2012, Osteen's net worth is reportedly $56,508,500. He lives with his family in a $10,500,000 home.

*shaking my head* I just don't understand the appeal. Want to write a self help book with me? lol.

reply

Yes, we should write a self help book but we also need to be like these guys and sell religion. Another big one is Robert Tilton, Peter Popoff, Kirk Cameron, The Banana Man.
