Kathleen Hewitt -Shiley

In a nut shell, I took 12 years off to raise my 4 children,then started our own sports memorabilia buisness.
Things were not all so peachy,so I tried to get back into the""Normal"" workforce. Sadly,all my skills were outdated and I wasn't in a position to go back for more education at that point, so I wound up at Somers Point McDonalds. Yeah,,big whoop,but its a steady paycheck,and a lot of extremely hard work. I worked my way up from crew cashier to store 2nd manager,and take my word for it,,not once have i ever said""Yah all want fries witdat??"" Actually most of my crew and myself have a much better/higher education then most of my customers,,so please think twice before you make fun of a fast food worker next time!!!
