I worked in an abbatoir, and for a few too many years, at McDonalds so I have had quite a few experiences of filth
I have on several occasions had my arm down a drain full of congealed blood trying to clear a blockage (normally a hoof or some othe random body part that found it's way down there)

On one occasion, whilst gutting a cow, I accidentally punctured the stomach, which proceeded to pour it's not quite as unpleasant as you would think smelling contents all over me. I managed to dodge the majority hitting my top half, but my legs were covered and my boots were full.


McDonalds toilets are quite possibly the most hideously abused facilities on the planet. Drunk people vomiting, missing the toilet (both accidentally and deliberately), women sticking used sanitary towels on the doors, walls, and even the mirrors, and on one occasion, I caught a rather grim couple having sex in the disabled toilet during a saturday lunchtime....

Behind the counter, the occasional month old burger that has found it's way into the most obscure of places has nothing on the ultimate unpleasantness in the place... the grease trap. In order to prevent grease entering the sewer system, restaurants are required to have grease traps to filter the vast majority out of the water, and these occasionally need emptying. The contents smell like nothing you could possibly imagine, rancid grease mixed with rotting lettuce etc is beyond foul, and this job has to be done after the close, as the entire place reeks of it. I was the only person brave/stupid enough to do this, and on more occasions than I care to remember went home covered in the stuff, and needed 3 hour showers and multiple wash cycles to remove it from me and my clothes.

Should have worked harder at school.

I had mitigating circumstances.
I had a wonderful stepfather that seemed to be intent on dragging me down to his sons' level by insisting that I either get a job at 16 or move out, and was rather abusive to my mother, who was too cowed to argue against it. By the time I got out of his "care" I was already a manager at McD's, but kind of rotted at that level for far too long.

As for actual school qualifications, I got 8 GCSE's in the first year of their implentation, which was far above the normal for my year regardless of schools...

I see a lot of grease traps through my work
the better thought out ones are located outside the eatery.

indeed,
the McD's I had the "pleasure" of working at was a converted supermarket, so had limited building options when it was fitted.
