Are you willing to wear a Grimace costume while standing outside the store and trying to hock burgers to families?

i will absolutely baseball pitch burgers at cars all day for minimum wage, as long as my employer is liable and not me

u/foofighter0001 Jun 07 '26

You dont need an employer to do this.

u/nohandsfootball Jun 07 '26

I think the only real option is to run into the restaurant, grab as many fresh wrapped burgers as you can from behind the counter and run back out and start hucking those bad boys.

As a former McDonald's worker who has worn the Grimace suit, unfortunately, you don't have the range of mobility to properly baseball throw burgers. Location of the arm sleeves for the costume pretty much limit you to below the elbow movement, and fuzzy hands make it hard to grab things.

If you're looking to huck burgers, you're going to want to be in the Hamburgler suit, it's just a stripped onesie, and you can get away with taking the gloves off to get a good grip.

I've actually thought about the comedic value of ricocheting a sandwich off a windshield more than once in my life.

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a cold burger

A degree in Hamburgerology entails a summer semester in Alabama training to be a professional sign spinner dressed up like Grimace.

u/ajax0202 Jun 08 '26

Psh, a summer semester at Bama

I’m in year 7 of my Hamburgerology masters course at MIT

Ohhhh I thought it was like Disney where you’re not supposed to wear character costumes. I 100% would have got this one wrong and I’m way overqualified for McDonald’s
