Kellie Pickler: Roller-Skating Waitress


Before she served up a taste of country on 'American Idol,' this North Carolina native served burgers on wheels at a Sonic drive-thru in her hometown of Albemarle.

Skip the article---at issue here is some idiot's idea that "job" (good clean hard work "jobs") can be "worst." For this entire article notice how many jobs that you utilize are called worst.

You Go Kellie! I just loved her on AI. She is so honest and pure and just hysterically naive. (laughing with you Kellie!) I love how she just tells it like it is for her and what a fresh new perspective she has! Oh - and the girl can sing! I wish her fabulous success and overflowing blessings! Melanie

j h wilson I agree. I have a decent job but there is nothing wrong with a good, hard working honest living. Working at Sonic may not be a career but one is it and I quote " one of the worst jobs imaginable"? No. This is a silly article. Man, I work with inner city kids and that is the problem they very often view honest hard working jobs as terrible so they often take the alternative, fast illegal money.

Right on J.H. We complain when kids are lazy and don't work, and all of these (except the drug pushing which never should have been listed)are legitimate jobs that should not be applauded, not knocked. Couldn't believe what I was reading!
