Difference between revisions of "Salty Joe"

'''Salty Joe''' is a red fox who serves [[fries]] in [[Witchyworld]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. In order to access his stand, one must hit the switch behind it. Although he is not as disgusting as [[Big Al]], he hates customers, since they seem to "always want things". Due to the poor conditions of Witchyworld, he is not used to customers, which makes him unsure what to say when he gives someone some fries, and also implies that he only bids them well because such comes out of his paycheck. Also, he always has to fry up more fries due to having only one customer. He also gets angry with [[Kazooie]] when the latter hints at an impending rush in response. If the player gets the fries as Banjo only, he will also request that Banjo let him act as a sidekick, with it being implied that he wanted to do so out of desperation to get away from the fry shop.

Although he's not as incompetent and unhygenic as Big Al, the origin of his food is equally disgusting. A nearby [[Signpost|Information Signpost]] describes his fries as "a limp, greasy, tasteless alternative to a decent meal". During the character parade, he is also shown sneezing on the fries, much like Big Al coughing on his burgers.

Oddly enough, Salty Joe's Fries has a four star rating, over Big Al's Burgers' one star.

*Aside from the fact that Salty Joe sells fries, the term "salty" can refer to someone being bitter and antagonistic, further fitting his nasty personality.
