Up to his elbows in Idaho potatoes, George B. Graham Jr. began working for McDonald’s of Rockford, Illinois in September 1964. It was there that he learned how a fast-food chain could be run like a “military operation.” Every Saturday morning, he and the crew lined up—all smiling, in clean uniforms and polished black shoes—for the inspection by good ole Ed, which began at exactly 10:45 A.M. (Ed’s watch time).

In Ed’s operation, quality, service, and cleanliness were paramount, but George knows the irresistible “World Famous” French Fries were really what kept the customers coming back.

Leaving McDonald’s after five years, George began what would become a lifetime of “Selling Burgers” with Burger King of Rockford, Illinois. In 2013, the year George retired from the position of General Manager, his location had served over eleven million customers. After a lifetime of experience, these are his stories.

Great water socks
Size: 8.5-9.5 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Shark Blue
Perfect! I’m autistic and this was the last piece of the puzzle for my sensory experience at the pool. They feel like wearing socks with hard soles on and are great for if you need to walk through gravel or anything. They don’t trap water much and the fabric is stretchy and comfortable. I liked the range of colors, I got the one with sharks. I wear a men’s size 8 shoe and I got the same size here, it was the correct size with a little extra room.

Colorful, comfortable, durable water shoes
Size: 8.5-9.5 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Shark Blue, Size: 8.5-9.5 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Shark Blue
I have ordered 5 pairs of these water shoes. The quality is amazing the bottom is durable, the stitching feels strong, they are comfortable, slip resistant, fit true to size and look awesome! We ordered the paisley, the blue geo, galaxy, lightning (lightning was sent back as we received the wrong size) and sharks. Only reason they are getting a 4 star instead of 5 is because I would much rather have the cushion inside sewn in instead of it being like an insert but that is what I find to be most common with these type of shoes.

Love these for beach foot protection!!
Size: 10-11 Women/9-10 Men, Color: Black-w001
These water shoes were perfect for our cruise to Grand Turk. The beach was a little rocky once in the water & the bottom of these shoes protected our feet and made it comfortable they dry quickly they are lightweight and easy to pack and carry in a beach bag. I bought two pair of the black one for me one for my husband, and he even wore them which was shocking into me and loved them.!!!! they don’t have walking support so they’re definitely something that you bring with you put on your feet before you enter like water where you can’t see the bottom or rocks/coral and they totally protect your foot on the bottom

I received someone else’s returned product
Size: 7-8 Women/6-7 Men, Color: Sunset
The inner product packaging was already cut open and not sealed, and there was debris inside the socks: clear indicators that the pair I received was someone else’s return. They also run big and are very wide in the toe area. My daughter’s pair also ran big, but at least hers were sealed. Overall quality is a bit flimsy, so we’ll see how long they last.

Decent water shoe
Size: 10-11 Women/9-10 Men, Color: N-laser Stripe
I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about the quality of and comfort of these shoes because of the cheap price. However, I really do like them. They stay on my feet, are comfortably and non-binding, which is saying something because my feet have been pounded over the years. They even did well when I had to cross some rocks, trekking back to the kayak. Definitely a gods water shoe for a good price.
