Typical fast food environment, I'm afraid. I read an account of a journalist's time working in fast food as she researched for a book project. It was nothing short of abuse.

Excerpt from a NY Post interview:

"At fast-food franchises like McDonald’s, employees are often pushed to work at such dizzying speeds — “like a Benny Hill video on fast forward”— that injuries are inevitable, Guendelsberger explains.

Brittney Berry, who worked at a McDonald’s location in Chicago, told Guendelsberger that while trying to keep up with the pace, she slipped on a wet floor and severely burned her forearm on a grill to the point of nerve damage. “The managers told me to put mustard on it,” Berry told Guendelsberger."

Its a good read, just don't buy it off Amazon:

That's been going on for a while. It's discussed in this book that I'm currently reading.
