Back in 2006, when I was desperate, I applied and was told I was far, far too overqualified and they wouldn't hire me. I did get the job with the welders about a week later.
Unfortunately, with unemployment rates where they are now, my suspicion is you might not be able to GET a job at a fast food place -- a coffee place or bookstore or other retail, perhaps, but not fast food.
I can't answer the resume question, but I have hired people with blank periods in their resume, as long as these blank periods weren't reoccuring or excessive.
*nod* i can't get a regular retail or restaurant or anything job with my masters degree listed on the hiring card i have to fill out. they always say i'm too qualified. my dad suggested i just forget i got a degree. good luck.
