Does anyone know who the actress is at 0:23 of the Falling Down trailer (the burger place cashier)? She seems incredibly familiar but I can't figure out who she is.

Great, thanks. I think I recognized her from Seinfeld (George goes "full opposite" and approaches her).

And that's just a great all-time scene, too, at the burger joint.

That's really one of those things that can date you as well.

I remember back in my day when McDonald's only served breakfast up until 11AM! https://i.imgur.com/BcpnE.gif


They did a similar scene in Big Daddy after they changed their cut-off time from 11 to 10:30. Kids today can get their sausage McMuffins anytime they want!

Kids today will never know the anguish of driving 60mph on a 25mph zone just to try and get to McD's before the 10:30 cut off.
