Publisher's Summary

Ever fantasized about quitting your job and starting over? Prioleau Alexander did just that. Here is his laugh-out-loud funny, endearing, and humbling exploration of life at minimum wage. Alexander walked away from a lucrative career as an advertising executive, seeking a life like that dude on Kung Fu.”

Over the next year, he worked minimum-wage jobs as a pizza deliveryman, ice cream scooper, construction worker, ER tech, fast food jockey, and even cowboy on a Montana dude ranch. He reveals a side of America that is rarely seen and questions the stale white-collar notions of a deeper, more meaningful life beyond the cubicle. In You Want Fries With That? Prioleau explores life at minimum wage and proves unequivocally that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Amusing (mostly)

For the most part I enjoyed this, though it was largely oriented towards a male audience. Unlike other books where someone who has sampled hundreds of jobs over the course of a year, this was half a dozen jobs this former executive genuinely tried, before he eventually figured out how to leverage his former talents into a business. Amusing moments as he faced recruiting systems and new employee training (or the lack thereof).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
