The Hamburger Nazi!

Customers are not allowed to read or talk in line, no special orders or substitutions, no talking to the cook beyond the order, exact change only.

A spatula is actually a little broadsword! From the German Spatha, later adopted by the Romans as better than their little gladius. The -ula part is a Latin diminutive. The Emperor Caligula was named for his "little boots." Caligus = boot.

No wonder you get in trouble for hitting people with a spatula!
