I've worked on a line in a real restaurant and a fast food place. trust me when I say I would much rather give you the finger for being this kind of asshole to the fast food worker than to the restaurant one. Restaurant jobs are easier, in the corporate modle of fast food it is nothing like a restaurant and more like being part of an impossible school grading system. you are expected to smile, come up with a new welcome phrase on the fly rather than a stock one, maintain eye contact, greet the customer in 5 seconds (which gets hilarious when you factor in the difference in space between the rest of your responsabilities) upsale products even when they already said "I just want this to go thats all" get the customers drink before they finish paying for their meal, make sure all areas are mopped and swept to the point where there is no more than 3 obvious blemishes in the whole lobby, you will be penalized for not doing this no matter how busy you are, inlcuding the bathrooms and any grafiti the chuckle fucks do, same rule applies in duplicate to the parking lot, where any cigarrette and random trash left above 3 at the time of your audit gets you a red x for that. you must deliver your food to the drive through within 50 seconds to 75 seconds no matter how big their order is, and you are penalized heavily if the car sits there after youve handed the food over while the customer picks their nose. you are penalized for every mis-touch on the menu screen even if you delete it and change it to the right product, or if the customer just wants to change their product to something else. you are penalized for each smuge mark on a window or reflective surface you are penalized if they use a cupon, you are penalized if your trash bins are 75% full, you (one person) are expected to do almost every responsability here except drive through at all times, your customers will be variable, but it doesn't matter if you are busy, if the auditor comes, you'll get served.
