This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

« Go Back

Happened to be in Burger King one day.
I'm not proud, I was hungry. (We love ya Bill!)

They had some kind of promotional thing on. No idea what it was about, but all the counter staff had shirts on bearing the slogan "TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL" on the back.

Never before has the value of education been so clearly articulated.

I went back the following day with a camera, and unsurprisingly all evidence of this profoundly ill-judged exercise in publicity had been purged from the store.

EDIT - external verification of this, by someone who was a bit sharper with their camera. thebenshowblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/burger-king-workers-too-cool-for-school.html
