The fries had to be made first, so I had to wait. I stepped aside and the briefcase-carrying guy next in line came forward to the register and ordered a Whopper and a Coke. He spoke english – but it was no problem for the girl behind the counter. She knew her script. He asked if he could pay with AmEx (he couldn’t), then with a mix of swedish and danish kroner (he couldn’t either) and finally produced a Visa card.

After a very short wait he got his food and he then proceeded to ask for the “shift manager”. The shift manager came up to the counter and asked how he could help.

“Hi, I’m Mike from [..? department.]. I’m here to do your OR..” [I'm guessing it's Operational Review]… He flashed an official Burger King ID card. (I want one of those!). I realised that his attempts to pay with different (invalid) methods had just been a test. 

“I’ll check the food now – and afterworth we can have a look at the paper-work..”

So now I know what I want to be when I grow up. An Undercover Burger King QA Field Agent.
