The editors use an antique slur (sadly surging back to popularity) to describe a contributor’s mentally handicapped sister, but let’s not focus on that when the piece — especially the photos it’s built around — is thoughtful and sensitive. Then, we can move on to why and how to dump a guy; no, taking you to the library isn’t one of the reasons, though it does come up. Mike reports from the McDonald’s training institute Hamburger University, where the sight of students and instructors actually caring about their careers in customer service alarms his apathetic Gen-X sensibilities. On The Road goes to Cleveland; female staffers’ brothers confess the ways they tortured them as kids; a teen mother glosses over a LOT of what Happened To her; and more! You might want fries with this pretty early on, so sort that out before you hit play!
