Jude, one of the friends, is put in charge of the fries station. He is excited at first, but he soon becomes overwhelmed by the sheer number of orders he has to fill. Meanwhile, Caitlin, another friend, is tasked with dressing up in a burger costume and handing out flyers. She is humiliated by the experience and feels that her dignity is being compromised.
Wyatt, another friend, is put in charge of the drive-thru. He finds it difficult to keep up with the orders and is constantly berated by the customers for getting their orders wrong. Nikki, another friend, is put in charge of the cash register. She finds it difficult to deal with the angry customers and their complaints.

He decides to take matters into his own hands and starts making his own burgers using fresh ingredients.
The Consequences
