"Name's Franklin. Shift manager at Chi-Chi's Burgers—sounds fancier than it is. Been here since I was eighteen. You want passion? Look elsewhere. My passion died somewhere between the thousandth ‘no pickles’ request and realizing the fryer’s my only consistent relationship."

"People call me rude. I call it efficiency. Why waste smiles on folks who’ll forget my face before their heartburn kicks in? I’m just here, judging your life choices through your order. Order a salad? We both know you’re lying to yourself. Had dreams once. Now I slouch by this register, dreaming of the sweet release of closing time. But hey, free fries and front-row seats to humanity’s decline? Can’t complain. Well, I can. And I do. Often."

It's time for another remake of an oldass character of mine, the grumpy fast food worker, Franklin! (He got promoted to shift manager, yayyy!)

Franklin is a sassy and snarky ferret who's incredibly bored with his job, wishing something interesting would happen and shake him out of his misery. He feels stuck and burnt out, and he isn't above making his unhappiness other people's problem.

This was requested by I think just one person, but I agreed it was needed, so here ya go Morally Ambiguous Betty!
