Get the Dockersmug. The degree of formality when related to the workplace, most often with clothing.
formal > business formal > business casual > casual
Companies will require employees to wear business formal in corporate or financial environments, executive and management positions, or when interacting with high-caliber customers.
Business casual is more common in small cities and among mid- and entry-level employees. Some business formal companies have Business Casual Fridays.
When in doubt, it is better to overdress than to wear clothes too casual, so as not to be reprimanded by the suits.
"Dress for the job you want, not the job you have."

Get the wisemenmug. The industry uses "quick service restaurant" instead of "fast food" now, probably to get rid of the cheap, greasy, unhealthy stigma that comes with the "fast food" label. Often shortened to QSR among the owners and suppliers.
Taco Bell is often called a Fast Food Restaurant, but the PR people would prefer to call it a Quick Service Restaurant instead.
"What kind of POP do you have for QSR franchisees?"

Get the quick service restaurantmug. Abbreviation for Quick Service Restaurant, the modern PC way to say Fast Food Restaurant. Instead of being seated at a table, placing your order with the waitstaff, and the food is brought to you on dishes -- a QSR has a drive-thru or you place your order with a cashier at the front counter and take the food in a bag or similar disposable carrier. The food is mostly pre-packaged and reheated, so you get your food faster than if it were made to order. "Fast food" carries a negative connotation as unhealthy, so the industry uses QSR instead to avoid the stigma and to account for the increasingly high-priced "premium" fast food options.
QSRs: Taco Bell, McDonald's, Burger King, Qdoba, KFC, A&W, Long John Silver's, Arby's, Wendy's, Chester's, Popeye's, etc.
