| We are proud to announce EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS to the new book by ex-SAS
hardman turned burger vendor, Andy McNobb... Burger Two Zero - Episode 1
Watchword: Vigilance. In this game
you've got to be careful. Check, check, check, CHECK. Then check it all over again. Three
times.
Monday, 7.12am precisely.... Condiments
- CHECK! Tables cleared - CHECK! Oil heating up - CHECK! OK, doors open and here we go. I
know this story, know the script. Played it over in my head again and again. You leave
nothing to chance.
You let fate play its hand and that's
it, Sunshine. GAME OVER. That's why I'm holding all the cards.
8.20am. One male, IC1 enters. I've got
his number - mean, lean, moody - a lone wolf. Doesn't want fries. One minute later he's
served, seated and £1.10 lighter in the wallet department. Yeah, you think - relax. He's
out in the open, sitting pretty.
Then BANG! All hell breaks loose. He
springs from his seat in one swift, smooth movement and within a split second he's back at
the counter. My notepad's not even half out of my apron pocket.
He wants relish.
Ok, check shelf.....DAMN! Johnson
promised he'd deliver, but he's a no-show.
Got to stay calm - analyse the
situation. He wants relish; I can't give him any.
Options: withdraw to kitchen, assess old
stock? Or: abseil from roof and smash through front window creating a distraction, hoping
enemy will abandon burger and run - in the resulting confusion, nip down the road to Mr
Singh's for a jar of tomato chutney and return as if nothing happened?
It was time to make a decision......
NEXT WEEK: CRISIS POINT! - the payphone
rejects a 20p piece.
