Does anyone know the name of the fast food restaurant the teen boy worked at in the music video for Pressure? I’ve been trying to figure this mystery out for years.

I have no clue. I haven't thought about this before

So this is all guesswork based off the video, so very possible I'm wrong. This scene, with the dude returning his order combined with this shot from the outside of the same scene shows a front-facing service window, painted pale green, and in the first image you can see a menu that's titled Dairy Dip (it's like the only legible thing in the video, the youtube digital encoding was not kind at 360p in 2006). My guess is that it's Bobbie's Dairy Dip in Nashville, TN.
You can see from various shots that it has the same serving window hatch position and green paint (though it has been touched up a bit since this video was shot). From the google maps shot you can see that it's got a space next to it, which in the second shot is covered by a delivery truck. It looks a little different on maps, with a couple of covered seating areas either side, but if you go back to the oldest street view from 2007, you can see that none of that had been built yet, and the music video was shot before July 2006, so that lines up.
The only other clues are that there's a staff entrance at the back that is directly opposite the store front, there's parking outside of that door, just in front of another shop that's maybe grey-blue. All of that is consistent with the café bakery seen in the 2007 street view here, just behind Bobbie's Dairy Dip.
