From T8:
On Danny's first day, he threw a food-tantrum of epic proportions, snatching french fries off diner's plates as he ran them out to their tables, downing hundreds of free Cokes and breadsticks, and -- at the end of his shift -- making two 'mistakes' in his ordering so he could scarf an Oreo cheesecake and a cookie dough cheesecake in the parking lot when he finished his shift that night.
The entire day felt flushed and feverish. He knocked back Cokes, coffees and juices like a Unitarian Universalist samples different strains of religious belief. His trainer, a girl named Mindy with chubby elbows and one half-lazy eye, hovered near him like a terrified confessor.
Danny hadn't been so furiously focused in a long time. He thought about nothing other than food, food, food. If another thought crept in, he found something salty or sugary to push it down.
