Episode 1
Today is Ernie’s first day at The Quick Stop, and Maj asks Greg to look after him and show him the ropes. This is just a weekend job for Ernie so he wants to keep his head down, do a good job and make it home at the end of the day.
Greg shows Ernie the way he does things in the restaurant, whether they’re right or not. Explaining the way he does things is better than the others; who have no idea about efficiency. However when Maj checks on Ernie she finds he is doing everything wrong. When he explains this is how Greg told him to do it, he finds himself stuck in a power struggle between the two with no real training.
Episode 2
Greg is left to look after an expensive children’s party for some rich demanding parents. He resents the way that the parents speak to him and feels he could do it standing on his head. This is the ideal opportunity to show off to the cameras, if he can only avoid the parents.
However things start to gradually fall apart as the kids become more unmanageable and start to tear around the diner. Greg eventually loses it and starts shouting abuse at the party of kids. The film crew has to step in to calm Greg down, whilst the parents demand their money back from Maj as she reprimands him.
Episode 3
Maj and Ernie are having a review about Ernie’s position and future in the diner, when Greg overhears Maj praising him for his fast learning. Greg is seething at this as he watches Baz and Turner doing nothing but daring each other to eat yesterdays fat from the fryer. Laughing to himself, Greg decides that since Ernie is doing so well he can be in charge of the drive thru today, and be pestered by the dim-witted duo.
Much to Greg’s annoyance Ernie, Baz and Turner hit it off and even get tipped by some customers for their friendliness. Maj sees this and praises Ernie some more, Greg can only watch on with jealousy as she awards Ernie with employee of the month.
Episode 4
There is a little competition for charity in the diner today; all of the staff are to dress up in fancy dress and see who can get the most money for charity.
Ernie doesn’t have many friends so hasn’t done much fancy dress before, he comes in wearing just his pyjamas and a night cap his mother made for him, claiming to be Wee Willy Winky. Baz and Turner try quite hard as Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, and Maj shows up as a fairy.
Not to be out done; Greg goes the whole hog and rents an over-sized bear costume. However this backfires, the costume is so large that he keeps head butting and knocking into the kids by mistake. The parents accuse him of abuse as he has made several of them cry, and Maj has to step in to calm the parents down whilst reprimanding Greg.
As a result, Greg raises no money; he actually loses money because he has to pay for damages to the suit.
Episode 5
Ernie has been away on a training day learning how to use the fryer. Today is his first day back and his chance to show Maj what he has learnt and she is very impressed, telling him that if he keeps it up there might be a promotion in it for him. Nosey as he is watching and through jealousy he decides to sabotage Ernie’s frying. Ensuring he gets that promotion, not Ernie.
He begins to overwhelm Ernie with orders, but Ernie catches on to this and tries to make a mess of things in an attempt to make Greg feel better, knowing that Greg wants to be promoted. He burns a lot of the food looking as if Greg has caused it. Which relieves some stress from Ernie, as Greg seems pleased with himself and backs off.
It turns out that this was an incredible stroke of luck. There is a call from head office telling them to remove the latest batch of burgers from sale immediately as there is a problem with the meat. It seems Ernie’s overzealous frying saves many customers from food poisoning.
Episode 6
Maj is out of the restaurant for a few hours and it’s not long before Greg is abusing his powers. Making Ernie clean the gutters and bins, and making others do all of his work while he chills out in the office.
Suddenly Greg’s mother enters the diner, however he doesn’t notice, as he’s too busy trying to chat up some women…to no avail. His mother announces her presence very loudly calling for her ‘currant bun’. The restaurant goes quiet and everyone turns to watch in confusion.
Greg’s tries to keep up the tough guy act; telling her to shut up. But she won’t tolerate this and slaps him round the back of the head and drags him out of the diner by his ear.
Everyone watches from inside as Greg’s mother shouts at him, flinching each time she shakes her finger at him.
When Greg returns to the diner, the other employees are sniggering and make fun of him for his mother’s pet name. Greg seethes with anger and starts shouting and throwing things…just as Maj makes her return. She sends Greg home early to cool off.
Episode 7
Each year The Quick Stop takes part in the ‘Festival of Fast Food’ and for the last few years have almost won 1st place. Maj appoints Greg and Heema to go and man the Quick Stop stall. However Greg suggests Ernie come along, seeing a chance to get back at him.
Greg is out to sabotage the festival, ruining the diner’s chance of winning this year and hoping to blame it on Ernie. When he has his back turned, Greg mixes hot chilli sauce with mustard to make an orange gloop that Ernie squeezes onto each burger. However it turns out that everybody in the festival loves this combination and it’s the flavour that wins them first place. Maj is so proud of Ernie for making the diner win this year, and rewards him with a small bonus this month.
Greg is gob smacked, and watches as Maj collects the award for the diner.
Episode 8
Greg has had enough with Ernie and Maj getting on so well, especially how Ernie seems to always do the right thing without even trying. He decides to take things into his own hands and try to get Maj fired whilst getting himself promoted at the same time.
He calls up a pet store and asks for 4 rats to be delivered to the diner, then calls the Health Standards Agency (HSA) and reports it. The HSA arrive and arrest Maj for breaching severe health and safety protocols.
However Ernie sees a receipt fall from Greg’s pocket, reading it he sees that Greg bought the rats and planted them in the diner to get Maj fired. He explains all this to the HSA, who let Maj go.
Maj decides that the best punishment for Greg would be to demote him from Deputy Manager, knowing this would hurt him most. Whilst also promoting Ernie to the new Deputy manager position, that just opened up.
