Long live the King
Taco Jacko
Saturday 27 June 2009
A Californian outlet of Taco Bell inducted its newest employee today, putting Mexican immigrant Miguel Jackson, 50, through his paces in an effort to ensure that he knows exactly what to do when customers ask him to shovel beef into a corn shell.
However, restaurant manager Jimmy Balda admitted that his latest recruit has progressed rather slowly throughout the morning, as Miguel appears to speak little or no Spanish.
“He has told me several times now that my shoes look delicious”, said Balda, “and just smiles and nods his head whenever I ask him a question.”
While Miguel’s Spanish may not be perfect, it is thought the principal reason why he has been employed is to lure customers away from the Burger King across the street, where an elderly employee has been a favourite of local customers for years due to the fact that he swivels his hips in a suggestive manner as he is flipping burgers.
“I am confident we can attract some of the King’s customers”, said Mr Balda, “as Miguel is very talented. Plus, he’s not blind, so he won’t be slipping into any sequined jumpsuit numbers anytime soon. I just hope he possesses the kind of hunger that this old guy has demonstrated over the years.”
Mr Jackson was unavailable for comment, as he managed to slip unnoticed out the back door of the restaurant before we could ask him for an interview, while Burger King’s manager issued a statement an hour ago, declaring that their employee was no longer in the building.
