I worked at one of these places for a while. My primary duties: Delivery, manning the phones, being a native English speaker. I gained a lot of insight about the Chinese takeout industry.
Also, you've never lived until you've seen the owner's wife march out into the lobby and whack the shit out of some hood rat with a giant spoon.

Ahh so that was the flavour I had a hard time identifying in my won ton soup
