>brought to him curbside
There is an option like that?

>>12448306
Report of the week did it again!

>>12448326
yeah. Only the fattest fucks and the most pathetic faggots use it though

>docked pay
I work at a wawa, at least I'm not that cucked holy fuck.

>>12448306
>docks it from my pay
if this is a real story (which I kind of doubt) then work at fucking Taco Bell, because at least they're not this fucking miserly.
retard customers not ordering right happens all the time.
retard cashiers not putting orders in right happens all the time.
I'd tell you to quit, but the moment has already passed, and you're too much of a bitch to do it even right after this when you would have been heated about it

>>12448357
Never ever make a decision in the heat of the moment. Wait until you are calm enough to think things through rationally. This is called self control.

Don't you have an umbrella?

>>12448371
I live in Florida. When I came in it was clear skies

>>12448371
in areas that get a lot of rain, people think you're a fag for using an umbrella

>>12448385
that's the most retarded shit i ever heard

>>12448306
Lollllll

I laugh at the mere thought of a person working fast food but this story brings a wholly new feeling of mirth, my sides convulse

>>12448388
Umbrellas are pretty pointless unless you're standing still or the rain is very light.

>>12448382
was talking more about a shared one for the employees
We got like 10 at the office because people tend to forget them

>>12448401
Lmao like McWagies gives a single fuck about their slaves

>>12448408
Why would they even need to.
How hard is it to keep a fucking bin the break room, to hold some umbrellas everyone can use

>>12448417
You'd have to replace them every two weeks because people would keep breaking and stealing them.

>>12448425
>stealing shitty 3$ umbrellas
nice society you got there

What part of Florida

somewhere, this story is a true one. almost makes me feel guilty for earning a quarter mil a year for doing very little

>>12448436
If it's cheap people don't feel bad about taking it, if it's expensive people feel tempted to take it. It's human nature.

>>12448326
Yeah, when you moblie order you can select to do that and never have to talk to anyone or wait in line.

>>12448382
If you live in florida you know the summer has rain pretty much every afternoon despite clear skies. Your low IQ is showing, have fun being a wage slave forever.

>>12448949
>It's human nature
It's really not, you're just a scumbag

>>12448306
How shit are you that you can't get a better job than McDonald's?

>>12449533
Most people fail at life. This is a basic fact. There are not enough positions of success in the world to accommodate all viable candidates.

>>12448382
>I live in Florida

This is the saddest part of the whole story

>>12448385
>think you're a fag
Call them faggots as you walk by them. That'll show 'em.

>>12448306
>run outside, slip on the curb

Where the fuck are your slick proof shoes at anon?

>>12448344
t. seething wagie
It's nice if you're hungry and far out from a place so you can get your food quick.

>>12448345
Hello fellow Wawa-Anon, join me in a toast would you?

*ahem*
FUCK SIPTOPIA AND FUCK HOAGIEFEST

How does one get job at restaurant ?

>>12448306
I struggle to think what kind of asshole would do that to a mcdonalds worker... he probably posts to this board or r9k tbqh. Cheer up fast food is shit and youre disposable so youll have to find a better job sometime. Hang in there pal

>>12448306
>>boss docks it from my pay
believable bait without this. hope it happened though, miserable poorshit wagies make my day

>>12449701
Go get your food. Fat fucking loser

getting a full-time job at a grocery store is the worst fucking mistake i've ever made. I want to fucking kill myself every single minute i'm awake. 8 1/2 hours, 6 fucking days a week. $16.25 isn't worth this fucking shit.

>>12449520
>you're just a scumbag

Unfortunately a good proportion of humans fall into that category.

>>12451086
Walk in to cool restaurant with resume, tell them that you need to talk to a manager. When manager comes ask if they are looking for "line cooks", then hand him your resume. Tell him you are not very experienced but are prepared to be a cook.

>>12451086

Have a pulse

>>12451124
It wasnt the first time I fucked up an order desu

this is the cooking board, not /r9k/, scrub

>>12448357
It's not real they don't dock your pay at McDonald's.
They don't dock your pay anywhere as far as I know.

>>12448382
Just go work at Publix.
Some of my most chill experiences there were putting on a raincoat and gathering carts in the calming, pouring rain away from all the people.

>>12448399
They really aren't, you need to understand that it won't make you 100% dry, but i keeps you dry for the most.

>>12448382
Ahhhhh Florida, America's penor.

>>12451086
Be a spic or nog.

>>12452021
You misunderstand the Jewishness of companies

>>12451217
>resume
Kek! Just show up and say you want a job and they will hire you. Food service industry is starving fo help.

>>12448393
haha me too bro xd

Flyover Midwest here, what's it like living in Florida? Isn't the humidity soul crushing?

>>12448306
>docking from pay for common mistakes

This is illegal in most countries including the United States, and while some shitty small businesses do it, McDonald's doesn't and is good at making sure their franchisees don't since it potentially opens them up to employee lawsuits for wage theft, and there are solid legal precedents where employers had to repay all the money they docked plus punitive damages and legal fees.

I would have believed you, but you went too far with inserting a major corporation (where every policy is double-checked by lawyers) and wrecked your credibility.

>>12448306
Pretty sure he can't legally deduct anything from your salary unless you are genuinely at fault. Since you slipped performing a work duty, he's lucky you did not sue him. It would have been captured on camera.

I think everybody should be forced to work retail or the food industry for at least 3 months in their adult lives. Like jury duty. I feel like this would humble a lot of shitheads.

>>12454372
I worked retail for years. I'm pretty patient and compassionate, but also know how fucking easy these peoples' jobs are and don't have patience for dumb lazy fucks doing the bare minimum. I don't even talk to people that don't even do the bare minimum eye contact, smile and a greet, I just grunt at them like the apes they are. Every once in a while I'll sneak in something rude as I'm leaving. It's so satisfying, it's stupid.

>work in a small nursing home kitchen
>cook for the same 20 or so residents everyday
It's like kitchen work on easy mode, bros. No surprises, no bullshit, and the old folks are pretty cool, too.

>>12452021
>It's not real they don't dock your pay at McDonald's.
>Every single one of the thirty-seven thousand McDonald's restaurants on the planet has the same manager.

>>12454547
Retail is nowhere near as bad as fast food to be fair. Not that having worked at a McDonald's briefly when I was in high school inspired me as an adult to give fast food workers $20 tips or anything, but I definitely don't hassle them and even if one completely fucked up my order I'd just throw it out and forget about it.
I think it's kind of insane to behave otherwise if you're an adult with a decent career. No matter how disappointing a fast food experience might be you shouldn't lose sight of how you're walking out of there back into your comfy life and they're remaining inside right there in wagie hell, possibly even for years to come.

>>12454028
>US population ~2.5x bigger since air conditioning became prevalent
>Florida population ~8.5x bigger
should tell you all you need to know

>>12454697
I don't really do fast food unless I'm traveling and there's nothing else around and it's fucking terrible overall. Also I refuse to give my money to a business that employs people like that.

Also my life is comfy because I've worked hard. I've had tons of privileges, sure but my day to day work ethic, attitude and the way I approach problems are what made me successful.

>>12454769
I've worked hard too, but I would never take the fact I've worked hard as a reason to want to bully wagies.

>>12454697
This. One of the reasons I always visit the same establishments is that the employees recognize me as a regular who treats them well. I wind up getting better and friendlier service that way.

>>12454372
Only 3 months? Make it 6 months to a year.

>>12454372
Dance for me, wagie.

>>12448306

I can't imagine working retail in this day and age with every motherfucker having a smart phone wanting to film every little grievance. I'm glad I got out before the shitstorms started because I wouldn't have survived.

>>12455349
I think it's started to even out now with so much internet content that it's almost the same as there being no content at all. Though if you were growing up during this era it'd probably be a good idea to avoid having your name or image showing up on search engines for when you apply to your first real job.

>>12448306

>go to mcdonalds drive thru at breakfast time
>order two bacon mcgriddles and hash brown
>person on speaker says "two sausage mcgriddles with bacon sub"
>ok I guess, figure it's the same thing
>pull up, she says the same "two sausage mcgriddles" thing before taking my card
>total is way less than it should've been
a bacon mcgriddle alone is almost $5 ,two of them with the hash brown should've been over $10
>get food and drive home
>unwrap, it looks a little thinner than expected and there's no cheese or egg
>the fucking idiots put two strips of bacon between mcgriddle buns and wrapped them up
>tfw still ate them even though the mcdonalds is down my street, less than 3 minutes away

how fucking retarded do you have to be to mess up simple order imputting. all you're doing is pressing fucking buttons on a screen, your only job is to not get it wrong and someone else handles the rest, and yet the fucking morons that want $15/hr do this all day, every day
the fucking bacon mcgriddles are on the fucking menu, yet this dumb bitch decides to input sausage mcgriddles instead, complicating it and ensuring the caveman at the grill would get it wrong. can someone who works at mcdonalds explain why the fuck this would happen

>>12456363
>trusting desperate people from bad family backgrounds, or simply low iq retards to take your order and cook your meals
>they inevitably fuck up
>go on anime fan forum to bitch about it instead of sharing useful cooking & food related info

you dun goofed anon. learn how to cook 2 strips of bacon in a simple oven or microwave. its not that hard. you can buy the muffins and add a little maple syrup on your own. replacing mcd shit with your own cooking is the easiest thing in the world. they use the worst ingredients. fucking shitty american cheese slices. come on.

>>12456398
You can buy bacon already cook too. It ain’t that hard to assemble a sandwich. This guy gets it.
>>12456363
You’ve got no sympathy from me. Why don’t you just make a sandwich instead of buying it at McDonalds? At least the fuck up would be yours then.
You’ve

>>12448364
It's called having a fucking spine and not deciding to bend over later because "I need muh minimum wage jobbbb" like there aren't hundreds of others you could literally walk in the door and just GET.

>>12456363
>how fucking retarded do you have to be to mess up simple order imputting
How fucking autistic do you have to be to not just go in and get your fucking order fixed?

>overtime for free, or standard wage
>burned by oil? fuck you pay me.

retail hell is called hell for a reason.

>>12456415
I hadn't slept/eaten in over 24 hours and needed something fast, waiting until I got home to eat was hard enough
>>12456408
>>12456398
>you want a bacon mcgriddle bro? just make a bacon sandwich bro come on bro
fucking retards, if I wanted to make a sandwich I would've made a fucking sandwich. I wanted a fucking bacon mcgriddle, what part of that is so hard for you niggers to understand that you had to spew your retardation into post form? also >>12456398 this is a retail/wagie thread, it's separate from the cooking threads but still related to the overall topic of this board, which is food. where else in this entire thread do you see "useful cooking & food related info" being shared? why didn't you aim your nigger autism at any of them?

not to mention mcgriddle buns are made in a special way, where syrup crystals are added to the batter to give it that characteristic ooze. trying to replicate that would be a waste of money and time and would never be the same as a real mcgriddle, which is what I wanted and exchanged money for. fuck both of you fucking mongs

>>12448306
lol

>>12448306
I work at a Bar and Grill, we hired a 19 year old kid who looked like Steve Smith from American Dad, on his second day he was crying in the back because his knees hurt after 2 hours of working as a server, the next day he wanted to go home after he stuck his finger in the gravy in the steam table, kid didn't last long.

>>12456468
lmao i used to be a closing manager at a Little Caesars when I was in college. This idiot burns himself on hot pans trying to take them to dish. He walks up to me and says,
>"nobody told me they were hot....."
I told him I'd take him to the burn ointment. I walk him over to the sink and turn on the cold faucet and tell him to stick his hands in it.

>>12456536
I used to day shift at a Little Caesars, made 200 pizza balls a day for the next day, then did lunch and set up the next shift for supper. was introduced to weed because of Little Caesars.

>work at Subway
>work with a bunch of QTs
I can't complain.

>first job at tiny cafe/bakery/restaurant
>worked like a dog and get assigned to anything but cook
>nasty in the kitchen, no standards
>have to make coffee while taking orders, bussing tables, prepping food, etc etc.

>pissed from stuff prior so I put in my two weeks
>last day
>only other coworker on the floor finishes off a gallon of the premise mimosas cause he’s quitting too, I had a couple solo cups myself although underage (19 at the time)
>he sits in the main room for his break and the alcohol hits him and he knocks out
>I panic as the lunch rush comes in unlike ever before
>people want me to make drinks, do tables, and write on cakes
>turn away cake orders because I wasn’t trained yet to do it and coworker who can is asleep
>stressed out, no breaks, he’s been asleep for 30m over his break now
>having a shitty day I finally had a chance to make a chai latte for a customer who already had their food
>unnoticed by me, a single tear falls into it and I realized i was crying without making a facial change
>lose it and remake again, serve to them outside
>one lady goes to hold my hand and say it’s ok because they saw I was alone and they’ve been in my spot
>I start crying a little in front of them and smile and she tells me to sit with them and she rubs my back, fixes my bangs
>the rush died so I talk with them a bit and they say they’re going to write letters to my boss and complain about how I’m treated
>end of shift, close early that day in afternoon
>steal food and chefs make me a meal to take home
>they close less than a year later

fuck food service, never again

>>12457697
sounds like you weren't very good at your job. A good server should be able to manage a whole restaurant when the shit hits the fan. Including taking cake orders--training or not.

You did a very very very bad job.

Is Little Caesar's even that good? Reviewbrah loves it, and I always see it praised in /ck/ threads. Only had it once or twice because I was told by Dominoes and Pizza Hut fans that LC was for poor people.

>another female customer comes in the store about 30 seconds later

>he lowers his voice and starts talking to the other woman

Welp, if anyone here is a fucking failure it’s me. Gotta leave for work in two hours and the GM will be here this shift, so we’ll see what happens.

>You might be surprised to hear that your employer may well be allowed to deduct from your wages for equipment damages, damaged product or cash shortages. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, employers may not make any deductions from your pay for cash shortages, accidents, damage to equipment or even theft only if those deductions bring your wages below minimum wage. That's the sole restriction that applies to all employers nationwide. After that, it depends on your state law.

Unions =/= communism
Unions in the US were actually at their strongest during the cold war.
But enjoy the taste of your bosses boot polish I guess.

>>12462062
During the Cold War, left wing lunatics would march the streets demanding Communism and physically fight with police.

>>12462068
What does that have to do with labour unions?
The decline of labour unions is directly tied to decline of the middle class. and the massive fall in real wages.

>>12462086
>Unions in the US were actually at their strongest during the cold war.
This would imply that unions can not be Communist on the basis that Communist movements were not strong during the Cold War. In my post I noted that it is false to claim that Communist movements were not strong during the cold war. I would go as far as to say that Communism was in fact at its most popular in that period.

>>12462091
Again, you are somehow confusing unions with communism.
Unions are just groups of workers banding together to make sure they don't get fucked by their boss.
And I think that's something the restaurant industry really needs. I've worked in restaurants, and you get treated as less than human.
If you really think unions are a communist plot to overthrow democracy, then you're basically pic related, and you've probably watched/read so much infowars that it's rotted your brain.

>>12462165
One argument at a time, buddy. Let's just slow down a little. You admit that I have destroyed your first argument, yes? Your first argument was that unions are not Communist on the basis that they were at their strongest during the Cold War.

>>12462175
No. Fuck off Ben Shapiro.
I still maintain that unions being widespread, accepted, and normal in the US during a time when it was actually a crime to be a communist indicates that they were not a communist plot.
All you pointed out was that there were communists in the US during the cold war.
That in no way "destroys" my argument.

Trouble is unions dont work some fields. Why on earth would McDonalds hire union workers when they can get anyone with a pulse to do the same job? You think the MickyDs union is going to encompass the globe and block off forty thousand locations from hiring teenagers and directionless adults? Gonna collect union dues from a bunch of part time minimum wage slobs that couldnt organize themselves out of a wet paper bag?

>>12448306
When I worked at mcdonalds they literally threw buckets of food away every hour.

I don't think any of my 10 or so managers would be allowed to deduct my pay, but if you ate so much as a pickle slice they'd fire you.

>>12462357
If you think this is about "winning" and "losing", I think you're the one that needs to grow up.
You're either a troll, or a fool arguing in bad faith. Either way there's no point arguing with you.
If you ever wish to improve your working conditions, join/start a union. There's a reason corporations are so afraid of them. Because they work.

>>12462439
It's true. I think it would take a major shift in public opinion for it to happen. And it would be really difficult.
It could only work if every mcdonalds (or at least most mcdonalds in major cities) was picketed, and people actually respected the picket line, and boycotted the business.

People seem to have this belief that fast food jobs are only for teenagers, but in reality it's mostly desperate adults trying to feed their families.
People also assume it's easy to just develop skills, and get a better job if they don't like their current one. It's clearly not that easy. If trade school/university was free, or at least affordable on minimum wage, then I'd accept that argument.

>>12462476
>Gonna collect union dues from a bunch of part time minimum wage slobs that couldnt organize themselves out of a wet paper bag?
Theres no reason for anyone besides an idealist to make a fast food workers union since dues would have to be nickels to not destroy their already meager paychecks. The idea that picketting a McDonalds will stop their primary customer base from getting their secod daily 20 pc nuggets and coke is laughable. I know you have this idea in your head of who works there but after a decade in food service for every

Imagine being so deluded that you think unions are anything but a scam trying to ruin the lives of workers under the guise of progress.

Your boss doesn't give a shit about you. They'll replace you with a machine the second it's profitable.
Do you really think "just work harder" is the way out of poverty? No matter how hard you work, the boss will give the cushy promotion to his nephew. If you work hard at sweeping floors, they'll never promote you from it. They'll keep you sweeping floors for the rest of your life.

You want to know why we have weekends, 8-hour work days, workers comp, and OSHA?
Labour unions.
I'm not gonna say they can't become corrupt, and that some of them don't protect terrible workers, but overall they work. collective action and strikes are the only way you can hurt a business.

Not entirely true. In areas were union and non-union workers have equal access the pay tends to be more equal or the non-union people having better pay in exchange for not having benefits. It's only in areas that are heavily or exclusively union controlled that you see much better union pay, as they control the labor market.

You're the retard here. You said BACON MCGRIDDLE. There is no such thing as a BACON MCGRIDDLE. Theres a bacon, egg and cheese mcgriddle. You basically ordered a sausage mcgriddle and told them you wanted bacon instead, hence the substitute, since there is no such thing as a bacon mcgriddle. Why the fuck should he assume you meant bacon egg and cheese mcgriddle? Its like if you ordered a quarter pounder and expected a quarter pounder with cheese.

I work at one of those comfort food type restaurants, it's called Lazy Dog. I can honestly say, at least for my position, the worst aspect of it is my co-workers. The customers are nice to me. But co-workers like to blame everything on you, when you weren't the cause of their problems. I've been pushed to the point of raising my voice at them, throwing around f-bombs. Shit's been tough, and I feel like it's changing me for the worst. It doesn't help that we're constantly short staffed and burned out too.

You really are entitled aren't you?

To be honest if that's the sort of disrespectful attitude you show normally you need to reexamine your attitude.

If you want a good wage, work hard and apply yourself rather than throwing a tantrum every time you're mildly inconvenienced. I think you'd see a lot better work ethic if employers responded to entitled workers harder, rather than letting them win.

How could they come back? The union bosses got greedy, fucked over their own workers anyway, and then Globalization came in and rekt them completely.
Now If they try to unionize a plant and institute “fair” wages, the factory closes down and moves to India, throwing everybody out of a job.
And it’s not even overseas. Far more jobs are lost to Tennessee than Taiwan. Pay some people in the countryside half the wages of a unionized shop in Ohio, and you’l have the entire town lining up at your front gate to apply for a job.

>>12462458
The reason they hate unions is they are in a very competitive field.
If they’re smart, all CEOs and top executives realize that their companies aren’t special. They sell widgets just like everyone else, and are subject to the same rules of supply, demand, profit and cost. If their widget costs $5 and their neighbor’s costs $6, they win. If theirs costs $5 and their competition has them at $4, they lose.
If Delta unionizes but American doesn’t, Delta’s fares have to go up drastically to cover increased employee pay. Suddenly they are now $100 more expensive on every ticket. Price conscious fliers who don’t give a fuck don’t book with them anymore. Instead they book American. Delta loses the price war, fails to capture billions in revenue and withers away. It’s happened repeatedly over the last century, and it will happen again.

Unemployment is 3.5%, of course you can. Everybody is screaming for help.
If you are even remotely qualified for something, you will get hired right now.
Some places will even pay the cost of training you. I work in the HVAC industry, and they currently have a shortage of 100,000 jobs, which will turn into 500,000 jobs in five years as the old geezers start retiring en masse. Every major equipment maker has programs to help their dealers get techs HVAC certified on their dimes. Every large dealer in my area has partnerships with trade schools and technical colleges to sponsor HVAC classes and give out internships to grads who are graduating and do not have a gig. If you want to do HVAC shit, now’s the fucking time. Decent techs pull down six figures per year if they’re willing to put in the hours.

The CEO also has all of the skills, education and experience necessary to keep a multi-billion dollar company profitable while also keeping shareholders happy and avoiding regulatory trouble with the Feds in all manner of areas.
The people with that kind of experience are very few in number and highly sought-after, hence the paycheck. If you wanted a paycheck like that, you could go to business school, get your MBA and start gathering all of the skills necessary to head a company like that, but it’s probably going to take awhile.

Surely there are people who grew up poor who are just as capable and ambitious. Yet they almost never seem to make it to ceo. In fact, it's so rare that when it does happen, forbes or some other site writes a "rags to riches" story about it.

could it be that succeeding in business is more about connections than skill?

Germany has moved into finished goods in niche markets where their super high quality and super tight tolerances can command higher prices with less competition. Finland has done the same thing.
If you notice, neither country is making shitbox economy cars, carbon steel and cheap electric guitars anymore. They can’t compete there, so they leave that shit up to the Chinese. What they do make are specialized products like extreme-spec alloys and ceramics, wind turbines and luxury cars, because that’s where they can compete.

Eh, germany manufactures tons of shit that could be made cheaper in china.
They make volkswagens as well as Mercedes. They make tables as well as wind turbines.
To claim they only manufacture goods that couldn't be made overseas would be wrong.
Also, part of the reason they are able to make goods of such high quality is the fact that they are heavily unionised. Their workers are looked after, and well trained. They also have a law requiring any large company to have the board of executives be made up of 50% lower wage workers. And this board determines pay for the ceo and executives.

So why can't the US do that?
It clearly works extremely well for other countries.

I didn't say there were no ceos who grew up poor. Just the overwhelming majority come from rich failies.
They got sent to private school, had tutors to make sure they could get into good universities.
They didn't have to work during university, so could focus on studying, and playing golf with other rich assholes (or as they call it "networking"), and if they did fuck up, their parents could just make a donation to the university to make any trouble go away.

Then once they graduate, they can either get a job with one of the assholes who went to their fraternity 30 years ago, or have their dad set them up with a cushy gig at one of his buddies firms.
Honestly, the whole system is fucked, and people need to realise it can be unfucked.
For one, by raising taxes on the rich to subsidise education/healthcare for everyone else, two massively increasing the penalties for tax evasion, and three, banning lobbying/political donations.

It's not rigged. The advantage you can't beat is the whole family thing, brothers and cousins make positions first if they're in close. Crazy, right? How business can in fact become a fucking oligarchy that practically owns societal consumption and ideas?

These dildos also have age and experience ahead of most by a hundred miles. That's their other advantage. Those few rags-to-bitches stories are just glamorized article pieces to promote journal/magazine circulation and promote loan-investment ventures as smart ideas for the working and middle class.
>could it be that succeeding in business is more about connections than skill?
depends really on the size of the business and whether or not it's an honest business, or something much more complex. Skill can get you pretty far if you have the wits to exercise it appropriately.

>>12468456
>Honestly, the whole system is fucked, and people need to realise it can be unfucked.
Nah, they make it work. If it hasn't been dismantled by now then one should argue that it is a VERY, VERY effective system. I mean, the government is filled with corruption at every turn as well, right? It might depend on how you define that corruption, for lack of a better word perhaps, but it still works for the people. You have to understand that; that it works for the people who care the most.

These systems satisfy the wants and needs of their consumers. It would all be different if the system 'wasn't' effective, it would repair and heal itself in such a way, by such people, that an immediate angle around that system wouldn't even be possible until as much time later. It's a very similar concept to Hydra (not the fucking Marvel icon).

But nah, everything you've been saying so far is pretty spot on. And what should scare you is to know that those kinds of rich kids with those kinds of connections and ease-of-access throughout life are present throughout any geographical area of the United States, even the poor ones. That last bit is a bit daft though. I do think though, that if you spent more time invested in looking into the function of those areas - modern/historic taxation, private and public education/healthcare funding, tax evasion/fraud, and lobbying/campaign funding - then you might be able to narrow down the specific problems in a system even more to a singular entity rather than the system as a whole, you know, attack the system where it's most important pieces are also its most vulnerable?

I don't think the fact that people make it work makes a system any less fucked or in need of changed. Feudalism worked for ages, slavery was pretty mainstream for centuries, people always make it work, because they have to. The way I see it people need to act in order for anything to be fixed but idk I'm just some moron

Thank you so much for doing this. I'm a low level wagie trying to get through college and this sort of management is what works. I've had managers who deliberately float around all day to stress you out into working faster and all it fucking does it make me not want to take shifts or do shit that needs doing for fear of being questioned.

most restaurants, by default, will undercook a steak. your average joe blow boomer retard doesn't know what the donenesses actually mean, they'll order well-done and then bitch about how dry it is.
if you undercook their steak and they want it more done, you throw it back on the grill (or in the microwave if you're vindictive) and send it back out.
you can cook a steak more. you can't UNcook it, if it's overdone THEN you throw it out.
>>12476552
they don't have to, they're just fucking stupid with their policies, which is exactly what you should expect from some hot fucking garbage chain restaurant.

It's illegal in the UK, and pretty much all of Europe to give a bad reference. Instead all you can do is refuse to supply one.
In the US it seems to vary by state.
Generally it seems to be legal to give factual information (He was late x times, and formally warned about it on x date, etc), but if they say anything they cant back up/isn't copletely objective, it can count as defimation.
For instance if they used a word like "lazy", or "incompetent", you'd have a pretty solid lawsuit.

It's not illegal for employers to say negative things when asked for a reference, at least not in burgerland. It's just uncommon because the employee in question can turn around and sue the employer for damaging career prospects or whatever.

>>12478061
>It's not illegal for employers to say negative things when asked for a reference, at least not in burgerland.
In my state it is. All a previous employer can do is confirm you worked for them and how long you worked for them. Anything else, positive or negative, is illegal.

>>12448399
Do you hold an umbrella 3 feet straight above you?

>>12457697
You sound gay, faggot.

>>12478057
So what if they say "repeatedly got the order wrong" and had nothing positive to say?

>>12478057
Most employers in the US only state "yes he worked here", and get asked "did they finish their 2 weeks notice" or similar to something "did they leave on their own terms/good terms".

Most HR people don't ask more than that due to legal shit

This is not true. I worked at a grocery store that was part of a union and I literally made less than minimum after my dues for literally no benefit. A minimum wage job that has union dues literally acomplishes nothing except lining union pockets - and I say this as someone who is pro union.
