There’s nothing wrong with having a low-paying job. Heck, somebody’s got to do it. If we didn’t have Taco Bell employees, we wouldn’t have Taco Bell, and that would be a problem, wouldn’t it? Where would I get my Crunchwrap Supremes? My own kitchen? Forget about it. As a person who has had a string of low-paying food service jobs, I understand how it can be a little embarrassing to bring up. People can be judgmental, and even if you’re totally cool with what you’re doing, it’s hard to ignore the disapproving glances. 

But this does not mean that the solution is dishonesty. I’m a firm believer that it’s better to be upfront about your situation than to ignore it and let it simmer into resentment. But that’s exactly what happened to one fast food worker who got caught in a lie in a pretty hilarious way. Read on to see how it unfolds.
