         "Customer Feedback"
          Scott was insanely bored. The young juvenile fox had already stocked 
          napkins, even when they weren't needed, and they began to overflow from 
          the holders. He had wiped the counters clean, swept the floor, and done 
          pretty much everything besides take an order. Not that he was all that 
          surprised. The fare at "Yummy Burger" was nothing like the 
          name would lead you to believe. Frankly, Scott was surprised how a place 
          like this could stay in business. 
          Scott sighed and stared at his monitor blankly; his manager was in the 
          back dealing with an avalanche of phone calls, and Scott was the only 
          other employee in the store, so he wasn't too worried about getting 
          caught goofing off. He gave a big yawn and looked up at the clock.  
          "Only another hour," Scott declared under his breath. He was 
          just about to go restock the napkins when a gruff voice interrupted 
          him. 
          "Excuse me!" 
          Scott turned his head back, with a cheerful plastic expression that 
          all food service employees are supposed to wear.  
          "Welcome to Yummy Burger. Would you like to try our new Double 
          Bacon Chocolate Salad?" he said in monotone, almost like a robot. 
          "I ordered a Junior Yummy Burger without pickles. And look at this 
          sandwich!" A gruff looking wolf wearing a ratted T-shirt and an 
          upside down ball cap thrust the wilted looking meat burger into Scott's 
          face. 
          "I see that you got pickles. I'm very sorry. We'll get you a new 
          sandwich immediately." Scott turned to the board to make the sandwich, 
          but was again interrupted by the wolf's voice. 
          "This place is a disgrace! I ain't never seen such disregard for 
          the customer in my life! You'd figure that it wouldn't require no brains 
          to make a stupid sandwich. If you guys didn't have cash registers that 
          did everything for you, you probably couldn't make change either!" 
          Scott was not really in the mood for dealing with this sort of thing, 
          especially since the wolf was so much shorter than he. "Typical 
          wimp just trying to be big and mighty," he thought to himself. 
          Scott turned back around when the wolf finished his ranting, feeling 
          a bit hurt, but remembering that the customer is always right. "Yes 
          sir. Here's your fresh sandwich, just like you wanted it." 
          The wolf growled and grabbed the sandwich, not even bothering a simple 
          "thank you." He stood right at the register and gulped down 
          the burger in a few bites. "That was awful!" he growled. 
          Scott blinked. "Were you not happy with your food?" 
          The wolf made a face. "I'd say I ain't happy! That burger tasted 
          like an old sponge!" 
          Scott's first thought was, "How would you know what a wet sponge 
          tastes like anyway," but of course he instead said quietly, "I'm 
          sorry you were not satisfied."  
          "You bet I wasn't satisfied! I demand a full refund and a coupon 
          for a free meal!" 
          Scott sighed and turned around. "I'll have to get my manager." 
          He walked toward the kitchen, muttering under his breath. 
          "Sir. A customer needs assistance!" yelled Scott through the 
          open door.  
          "Okay. I'm coming!" came a loud voice from the back of the 
          kitchen. 
          Scott nodded and shuffled back to the disgruntled wolf. "He'll 
          be here in just a few minutes." 
          Almost immediately after Scott finished that sentence, his manager entered. 
          He was a fat kindly looking raccoon, about nine feet tall with a baseball 
          cap secured to his head. "Hello. What seems to be the trouble?" 
          he said to the wolf. 
          "I am very dissatisfied. I had to get a new sandwich, and then 
          when I did it tasted awful. And this guy was rude to me," the wolf 
          said, pointing to Scott.  
          Scott's face crinkled up as if he was ready to retort, but his manager 
          gave a gentle wave of his paw. "No problem sir. We aim to please." 
          He gave the wolf a kind smile. "I can get you a refund, but it's 
          back in the safe in the kitchen. Just come with me." The manager 
          opened the little wooden door that separated the dining room from the 
          rest of the restaurant and beckoned for the wolf to follow. 
          "Well all right. I want a free meal as well," said the cranky 
          wolf. 
          The manager nodded. "There will be a free meal. Just follow me." 
          He turned back through the door into the kitchen, and waited for the 
          disgruntled customer to follow.  
          Since there wasn't going to be any work to do anyway, Scott took one 
          more look to make sure that there wasn't anybody in the store. Once 
          he was satisfied that the place was empty, he opened the kitchen door 
          and curiously poked his head in to look. 
          The wolf looked around the kitchen curiously, noting various labels 
          on boxes - Assorted Goat Parts, Monosodium Glutamate, and one that was 
          curiously labeled "Meat Substitute." He blinked and looked 
          at the manager, who was working the safe. "Hurry it up! I've got 
          things to do." he growled. 
          The manager turned back around, with a sly grin on his face. "Me 
          too." He shot out one of his massive forepaws and clenched it around 
          the wolf's waist. 
          The wolf squirmed and yelled up at the coon. "Hey let me go you 
          faggot! I ain't never gonna eat here again and gonna tell my friends 
          not to as well!"  
          The coon manager chuckled. "Oh really. Well that won't be good 
          for me, my restaurant will be ruined because of bad publicity. So how 
          about that free meal?" 
          The wolf cockily looked back up at the manager, who was almost twice 
          his height. "Hell yeah. It's about time." 
          "Yes it is." The coon lifted the little wolf up in the air 
          with a paw, holding his waist tightly. He then did something the wolf 
          wasn't expecting, and opened his jaws as wide as he possibly could. 
          Scott continued to poke his head through the door, taking a look behind 
          him every so often to look for customers. He chuckled and shook his 
          tail. He knew there was a reason his manager was so large, and it wasn't 
          from eating Yummy Burger's soy meat patties. 
          The wolf shook furiously. "Oh just wait till I get my damn switchblade, 
          you'll be sorry then!" He tried to wrestle his arms down to his 
          pocket, but they were held tightly by the coon. 
          The manager snorted and lifted the wolf up to his jaws, sticking his 
          head firmly into his maw and clamping the jaws down over, though not 
          hard enough to injure the wolf.  
          "This is shit! Let me go you stupid faggot!" The wolf continued 
          to yell, although they were muffled now by the manager's jaws. The manager 
          opened his jaws slightly and worked his way over the shoulders, moving 
          his paws further down the wolf's body and leaning against the safe for 
          support. 
          The manager opened his jaws once more, and slid the wolf in up to his 
          waist. Now the wolf's head was pinned toward the back of the coon's 
          throat, and he could hear the sounds of a massive stomach churning below 
          him. "Oh shit!" he growled. 
          The coon bent his head up toward the ceiling, letting go of the wolf 
          for a bit, and took a large swallow. The wolf's legs were pulled into 
          the maw, while his head was pulled down into the throat. Another swallow, 
          and only the tail and footpaws remained of the cranky customer. 
          Scott continued to watch behind him for customers, but the place was 
          deader than a doornail, and besides this was the part he liked the most. 
          He opened the door and pawed over to his boss, climbing up onto his 
          belly. "You want my help buddy?" he asked cheerfully. The 
          coon nodded his head emphatically. 
          "Okay," Scott replied. He climbed up to where the wolf's footpaws 
          and tail were dangling out, and, taking them into his paws, he shoved 
          them into the jaws of his manager. The coon bent his head back and took 
          two more massive swallows, and soon the only trace of the punk wolf 
          was a bulge in the manager's neckfur.  
          Scott smiled up at his manager. "Hee hee. Kind of cuts down on 
          repeat customers, but I'd say it's worth it." The coon nodded and 
          patted his friend on the head. "You're such a good worker, Scott." 
          The bulge continued to disappear, as the throat muscles worked on the 
          wolf. A few minutes and he was finally deposited into the massive stomach, 
          which bulged out a little more, pushing Scott up in the air. 
          "Hee hee. I feel it pushing." Scott chuckled and lay down 
          on his stomach, massaging his buddy's full belly. The raccoon nodded 
          and smiled. "Well it's almost nine. About time to close up," 
          he said. Scott shrugged and nodded and went off to lock the doors and 
          mop the floor.
