My first job when I was 13 years old ($2.35/hour) was at Dairy Queen at 85th and Wornall road-- across the street from Christ the King Church / School. We had to weigh each sundae on a scale before serving it; if it was an ounce too heavy my boss required you to take it back to the walk-in freezer and dump it back in the machine. I cannot tell you how many times I took a huge bite before doing so...my boss was a dick. He talked just like Strother Martin, the warden from Cool Hand Luke. Oh, and making that little curly-cue on top took practice.
I haven't been back to KC in a few years, but I think that DQ is now closed/abandoned. [Reply]

I used to work at Zarda's as a stocker and at the gas station on 63rd. For years after I couldn't eat soft serve. The soft serve machines weren't the best kept devices. They did have the best hand dipped Ice Cream and treats for the time. I don't know how I didn't get fat working there. [Reply]
Side note - I sorted Milk for Robert's dairy in college. The GF I was with at the time, her father ran it. Robert's had closed here in SUX, so it was shipped up from Omaha. My job was to sort the loads out for the 3 drivers we had.
DQ ice cream milk was a special recipe requested by DQ. [Reply]
I don't think I've ate anything other than ice cream at dairy queen. Last time I had DQ was probably in high school, maybe shortly after so it's definitely been a while. [Reply]

Ha, my sister worked for the Zarda dairy in Blue Springs. [Reply]

The Taco Bell app is the real deal. You can build a $5 Cravings Box with the Crunchwrap Supreme as the main entree. You also get a soft taco, another side option, and a medium drink.
