@@marvinthemaniac7698 this is what i can find he had a job at the regas resturant at age 12 as a busboy but lost it. then later at age 15 short order cook at Hobby House Restaurant in Fort Wayne, Indiana. then in korea he was a mess sergeant in west germany by the mid 1950s thomas was head cook at the hobby house Thomas was sent by the Clauss family in the mid-1960s to help turn around four of their failing KFC stores in Columbus, Ohio. By 1968, Thomas had increased sales in the four fried chicken restaurants so much that he sold his share in them back to Sanders for more than $1.5 million. so he was essentially store manager/owner level in his abilities. his wife mentioned he had to also help cook when he was running the kfc stores.
