Hungry late at night? Get a bag of Dick’s! Dick’s Drive-In restaurant has been serving up burgers and fries since 1954. With a limited menu of just burgers, cheeseburgers, hand-cut fries, and shakes, Dick’s keeps the “fast” in “fast food” by not offering customization. What they do offer, however, is a great employee benefit package: fully paid medical insurance, 50% matching on a retirement fund, and college tuition scholarships for employees after six months. The restaurants continue to position themselves as a great job for college students especially, with flexible schedules and resume-building opportunities. In Seattle, “Eat a bag of Dick’s” isn’t an insult—it’s a helpful suggestion for how to end a fun night of bar hopping, or make it to your next appointment when you don’t really have time to stop for lunch.
