lots of floor sweeping

>>16816047
most people hate it.

>>16816049
>lots of floor sweeping
Will I get tips for sweeping floors on top of my salary? Do you know what type of 401k plans most places offer?

>>16816047
It's a shitty job, made better only by your coworkers. I miss it, sometimes.

>>16816047
it fucking sucks.

>>16816052
>most people hate it.
idk looks like fun

>>16816066
yeah that's what all your coworkers are doing when the shitter needs cleaning, the floors need to be mopped, the dishes need doing and the tables need to be cleaned

>>16816060
There's always that one guy holding shit down who randomly quits and everything is ruined

>>16816066
You do realize people do this type of dumb shit because 99% of the other time on the shift is spent doing boring, repetitive tasks and getting shit on all day and it's the only thing stopping them from shooting their manager

and if it isn't to that point yet then it's probably because you're on your first day

If I have a crush on a girl, who seems shy and generally good, who works in a fast food place, how likely is it that she's getting railed by the staff?

>>16816066
go work at subway then

>>16816066
What is wrong with 3DPD?

>>16816117
is she a host?
95%
is she a server?
100%
busser?
60%
cook?
shes more of a man than you, but shes railing the hosts

>>16816047
working in a restaurant is awful. typically only high-energy always-smiling types last more than a week.

get yourself a lazy job in a hotel/hostel/motel or something instead.
no check-ins cuz virus means no-one's traveling and if you get night shifts or night security job in those places you literally spend 90% of your shift just chilling on your laptop getting $20/hr.

>>16816117
Almost 100%

>>16816215
>working in a restaurant is awful.
surely working at a more expensive restaurant would be better though?

>>16816210
She usually works the drive thru outside. Sometimes I see her inside.

>>16816117
To make matters worse it is probably Trayvon who just got out early on his 5-7 for armed robbery.

>>16816047
wtf is this McZoomers?

>>16816082
Fucking this.

>>16816082
I'm that guy at my work. If I quit it would fall apart so hard fast, it would take weeks to recover. It's kind of nice holding that Sword of Damocles over the gm's head.

>>16816322
similar level of stress, just a higher average quality of worker and higher pay
earning your stripes working low and mid-tier service is not worth the payoff unless you get an in via nepotism or work the wine side as a somm, which is usually more laid back

>>16816082
Isn't this every wagie job? Anyone with work ethic gets sick of worthless coworkers and ghosts.

>>16816322
Slightly better pay and a lot more stressful. You will learn a lot more though.

>>16816362
Tbqh working a wagie job you have to do what you can to keep sane, the work can be easy but its still soul-crushing. Luckily when I was a wagie my boss would let me listed to music while working the back window

>>16816047
If you aren't a libtard pussy cuck, are willing to learn and know math then just get a job in a machine shop. You get paid more than cucks working fast food and are just as likely to become a drunk/drug addict.

>>16816066
Then go work at your local McDonald's and tell us how fun it is

>>16816047
I worked as a fry cook at dairy queen during high school. Wasn't taught how to do anything so I just cooked and tasted it until it seemed right. Was usually the only cook in the kitchen, so I would get slammed and none of the girls up front could help except bagging food. Also had to carry in all of the ingredient deliveries and mow the grass since I was the one guy, and the kitchen had no ac so I spent a lot of time in the freezer to cool off. The girls were easy so it wasn't all bad

>>16816438
>needing entertainment to do your fucking job
cringe

Get a job at the post office. The pay is ridiculous for what you do and while it still sucks ass (it is a job after all), it could be much worse.

>>16816580
>working for the state
ew

>>16816047
I'm an electrical engineer that makes $120k/yr, full benefits, pension, etc. Working in kitchens was the happiest I've ever been. That said, if I had to actually pay a mortgage or raise kids on a cooks salary, I'd suck start a shotgun.

Is working in a kitchen fun?

>>16816066
Convenience stores with deli counters are the most fun to work in. I used to work at Wawa and had a great time. Everybody knew each other and we would frequently have parties with coworkers. A lot of shift drama between morning, evening and overnight shifts, but for the most part wasn't too bad. I ran the evening shifts and a lot of times coworkers and I would go out and get drinks at the bar after work. I dated 3 girls from work and it's fun getting blowjobs while working. I work as a database architect now and honestly miss the job at Wawa. Enjoying work sometimes is worth taking a lower pay, but unfortunately I get paid too much now for it to be THAT worth it. If I was only making like $20/hr I might consider taking it again.

>>16816066
why is she wearing different shoes

>>16816867
so quirky and cute :333

I got a job in forestry and it fucking sucked ass.
Don't get me wrong - I actually liked the job. But the people you have to work with are clinically retarded, criminals, druggies, or all three. Every day you wake up and ask yourself "Do I die today because jamal got high and forgot the digger controls?" or "Do I die today because the blade on our mill is on the brink of shattering and our kike boss refuses to replace it". Then you finish the week, look at your paycheck, and remember that you're working for fucking minimum wage. Two hours of travel time a day. An hour of unpaid time on site. Whoops, that adds up to *checks notes* just over half of the minimum wage!
I got fired "without cause" for asking an H&S question about the mill btw. Two days later the blade did shatter and two people who were nearby got killed, and a third maimed.
>20 person job site averages one fatality a year
Flip burgers OP. Do not make the same mistake as me.

So that fags like you out themselves and save us patriots the trouble of finding you for the hanging.

>>16816047
if it's actually your first job you're going to be slow and achy at first, don't feel discouraged. restaurant work is pretty easy if you're in the kitchen and soul draining if you're front of house.

>>16816047
I worked at Taco Bell as a teen. I hated it at the time but I loved it in hindsight (as with most things). It was super chill because it was closing shift. Free food, smoking weed behind the building, cool people. I'm glad I did it.

>>16816047
find a place with a foreigner for a boss, and if possible, not a chain
in my case I host, take to go orders, serve, mix drinks, bus tables, along with cleaning the bathrooms every night, plus whatever else he asks. it's boring, but I still love it more than a year later, far better than waging as a cashier, less heavy work than bagging, much easier smalltalk with customers, and because boss trusts me I have the master password to deal with unhappy customers rather than make drama and having to hold up the line.
kitchen, I can't say. all our food is frozen except the salad ingredients, and it's all boiled or fried. we drop a cook every 3 months and the food is identical because it's just a chart with the cook times.
get into serving, I speak English so I'm front of house.

>>16817170
also note that at _least_ 50% of our customers are nogs, so I expect a lot more grief and complaining than we actually get. 15% Mexicans, 15% Asians, 20% whites.
yes the darkies complain the most, but all I have to do is lie about "current delivery portions" and "sorry, I can't do that, try the identical more expensive restaurant literally one block away".
>>16817130
I can see his point, which is why I suggested a foreign boss and a non-chain restaurant. There's too much emphasis on numbers, everything is tracked, you have to answer to a district manager or whatever
My boss is just happy I take care of 90% of the problems and cleanliness of the store so he can fuck off and go gambling

>>16816754
it depends which kitchen
fast food has a lot of turnover of younger staff you have to train.
my friend said subway and taco bell were the easiest kitchens ever, but he preferred Tijuana flatts on the daily because he had friends, they smoked weed, and his boss protected them from their DM.
I liked McDonald's in 1999, but Culvers is more professional even if it's the same shit, lower volume.
my ma always wanted me to get into chick-fil-a because I'm courteous (she worked there too, it was just nuggets, tenders, fries, sandwiches, drinks), but to a point. it's a very simple menu which is what attracted me to chipotle, but having to say "my pleasure" sounds so fake and gay, I make a point not to say thanks when ordering there at chick fil a to save them the dreaded getting a warning forgot giving 100% all the time
if you have options, opt for a smaller menu overall, less grief. chipotle is pretty much the best entry place chain I can think of, it's just high volume

>>16816047

comfiest wagie job ever. being short isn't so bad after all

my 16 year old little bro just got an apprenticeship at a fancy restaurant in my city(my dad is friends with the owner) and he seems happy, and i'm proud of him, but i'm also worried. is the kitchen workload too heavy for a teenager? is this actually going to help his gastronomic career? is it worth it, in terms of learning stuff, considering he doesn't get paid?

>>16817446
>he doesn't get paid?
that's bogus, little dude needs to find a real job because he's being taken advantage of right now.

>>16816117
you have to be at least 28 years old to post here, and if youre older than 28, youre too old to have a 'crush' on a fast food worker, let alone have a crush on anyone at all

>>16816066

>>16817446
If it's for an hour or two only, it's still bullshit. Fuck your dad and his "friend" for even suggesting his son do free labour.

>>16817020
Why would you ever work a job like that?
If you have any documentation of your firing and the subsequent accident, why wouldn't you file some kind of lawsuit or whistleblower report?

>>16816867
different laces, same shoe

>>16816047
>i am pampered silver spooner
>never worked before
>I can work hard
Every one on /b/ who has actually worked a real job would be extremely entertained by a constant video of you of the few hours you will work at your first job before quitting.

its shit work for low pay. i quit yesterday for a job as a barkeeper.

>>16817572
>why would you ever work a job like that
I didn't know what I was getting into, didn't know any better, and I also wanted to learn some of the skills - I did learn how to use a chainsaw, drive an ATV, most of how to operate a mill, and how to operate a fair range of heavy machinery. I got to learn all these things because I wasn't a dumb nog and I was the 20% part of the 80-20 rule. I was able to use some of these skills to get better jobs, but I got snap fired during our last snap lockdown :)
>why wouldn't you fire a lawsuit
I got fired 'without cause' which is something any employer can do in this country any time within the first three months of employment. They do not need to list any reason for firing you, which means there is basically zero avenue to get recourse for wrongful terminations. No need for a whistleblower report when workplace fatalities do that for free a few days later. Work-safe here does not give a shit about this place, though, because it's managed by a native trust and they do not get subjected to the same laws as humans do. A 5% fatality rate was allowed to continue for 15+ years, and still is to this day.

>>16816047
This >>16817586
If you've never had a job, you don't know what hard work actually is. Try working 12-14 hours a day for months on end without a day off.

>>16816353
never mind you're underaged

>>16816210
Cooking is a girls job

>>16816754

michelin nigger reporting in. its fun when you hit flow state and stomp a service with your team. but that only happens like 15% of the time. the rest of the time your just stressed out and aggro as hell because everyone is so competitive. get yelled at on a daily basis for bullshit. its definitely a job for people who like instant gratification because in one service you're going to hit extreme highs and really humiliating lows. i cant go back to anything else though, im addicted to the lifestyle, nothing feels better than sending out a beautiful plate and crushing service and nothing is more frightening than hearing one of the chefs yell my name

>>16816047
I suspect your problem will be standing on your feet for 8+. Don't do manual labor. It will break you if you never worked a day in your life.

>>16816047
What an embarrassing lack of professionalism. If any of my staff conducted themselves in this way at my restaurant I would fire them immediately

>>16817446
Fancy places are different and basically the only avenue you can advance in this career. For most people working in kitchen is a dead end job.

>>16817737
I think you'll quickly change your mind if you work in any restaurant. There's a reason why most chefs are men.

>>16817797
>fast food
>professionalism
they'll hire literally anyone

>>16817811
Because men are abusive to women, especially the type of men that end up working in a kitchen.

>>16817821
to be fair working in a professional kitchen is signing up for abuse one way or the other. tempers will inevitably flare. it's just that women tend to break down more under pressure.

>>16817821
women don't belong in the chef's kitchen

>>16817831
They single women out for particular abuse and seek opportunities to rape them, "to be fair."

>>16817821
Other way around.
I've worked with a number of female chefs and they are the most abusive sexually perverse creatures out there.

>>16817931
>mfw female sous chef I worked with rubbed up and down my crotch with her ass saying how narrow the kitchen was

>>16816047
It's horrible, go be a security guard. You get paid more and you don't have to do anything.

>>16817831

had a woman steal my saute position and got bumped down to garde cuz of her, she quit after three days because she said it was too hot on the station. i told chef today i was butt hurt over the situation and he laughed and said "yeah i should have known better than to stick a woman on saute". thankfully im back on saute now but women cant handle that shit.

When I worked at mcdonalds my classmates used to come in and order burgers and then stick them to the windows and underneath tables, knowing that I would have to clean it up.

Dear chefs of /ck/ what do I have to tell to my chef friend (second cook maybe?) that is sort of hooked to cocaine and always gets fired for going late or not going to work? I don't want him to be homeless. And I have 0 experience in the kitchen, he is the one that works there. He has worked on some of the best restaurants in the city but none of them take him anymore cause he'd ghost them some times.

>>16817955
>>16817931
do tell anons, do tell, sounds JUICY

>>16817821
Post a kitchen team that's all women.

>>16816688
>not getting easy money from the state
Yeah keep fighting the good fight anon. I'll be cheering for you while slacking off on Uncle Sam's dollar.

>>16816117
She’s getting dvped by the dishwasher and the manager right now breh

>>16817850
That's delusional
Sorry for your outlook on life

>>16818021
Why you are still there is beyond me. It's obvious they dont give a shit about you and will replace you with someone else when the chances arises

>>16817843
>in the chef's kitchen
gay wording doesn't makes it a man's job

Restaurant work sucks always.
If you're lucky, you'll have a good team/co-workers, but I worked with a lot of folks who were high all the time and retards who don't understand that you can't handle RTE food after handling raw chicken.

>>16816047
if you are computer literate enough to post on 4chan, you can work at an entry level office job instead of nigger tier food service.

When will our industry have its day? I'm tired of the abuse that takes place in kitchens. I can handle some dissatisfaction when something goes wrong, but shitty owners and managers that side with the customer can lick my ass.

>>16817461
>you can't have a crush on a girl at 30
I'll do whatever the fuck I want. I've taken enough shit from women throughout my life, maybe like the horrific case of herpes I got from my whore ex wife, I think i've earned the right to have a crush on a girl.

>>16818436
no you won't, blistered faggot

>>16818069
>girl bumps into me
>"Oh sorry, anon. This kitchen is so small"
She touch my peepee she like me
>look at the ground and grumble "you too"
bitch is as good as mine

>>16818528
I will and there's literally nothing you can do about it. I'm going to go there right now to flirt with her. Try and stop me. You can't ;^)

>>16816047
Depends what your goals are. I worked at a Subway in highschool and it was a super chill job. Could show up high, literally brainless work while listening to the radio and talking to coworker who was alright. Only issue is they literally only paid minimum wage, so if you need to support yourself probably not ideal.

I have a buddy who works in a high-end kitchen as the Sous. He gets paid pretty well, he does cool shit at work, seems to enjoy it mostly, and has developed some real skills.

Issue is he is literally always working and you can see him suffer in relationships and with job stress. But to be fair that happens in other industries, but you can't smoke a j out back and hang with your buddies at an office job.

If you're kind of a loner who was NEET and don't have many hobbies or family, it seems like it would be the perfect fit. No real qualifications to get a job, just show up and keep your head down, and instant community.

>>16818402
>shitty owners and managers that side with the customer can lick my ass.
The customer is always right and I say that as a manager of 5 years.

>>16818740
you suck at your job

>>16818765
Customers bring in money, not boh or foh. So yes, the customer is always right. Until the cooks start paying my salary I'm afraid the customer will always have to be right.

>>16818781
Good luck collecting money from customers when your cooks walk out on you.

>>16817247
worked at Chipotle as a dishwasher. turnover rate was a week cause it didn't matter whether it was a manager tearing throu dishes or a new hire, you always spent an extra hour overtime finishing the dishes.
the cilantro rice drain sock smells the same as the rice that goes into the food, I can't deal with the association anymore, can't eat that cilantro rice...
tried pizza hut holy shit easy peasy loved it

>>16818887
i drove for pizza hut and was always jealous of the cooks
never got to make a pizza there, but i quit and found a cooking job

>>16816047
I would recommend getting used to standing for 8+ hours without a break right now. If you use a laptop then stand at a counter or something, stack crates if you have to.

>>16818897
Do you not get a stool to sit on while you cook? Making someone stand for 8 hours a day seems inhumane.

>>16818781
Shitty mindset. There's a lot of retarded customers, clearly not used to dine out that demands ridiculous service and wants to get things for free because of some irrelevant detail that hundreds of other well-mannered customers didn't pay attention to.
My favorite boss told people to fuck off and never come back if they were rude and stupid, you should try it. Your employees will love you.

>>16818975
>Your employees will love you.
I need not their love, only their obedience. In my restaurant I am god.

>>16818938
nta, but it depends entirely on the people running the show

the typical mindset is that if you're not suffering, you're not working. if you have time to sit, even if it's at the saute station, it means you have time to get the fuck up and clean something

it's abusive and stupid and needs to stop, but it likely won't, because americans like to create fake conflict while ignoring actual conflict in their lives

asked to wear a mask? muh free dumbs
being actually oppressed and put into dangerous situations at work? a liberal hoax

>>16818979

>>16818938
>Do you not get a stool to sit on while you cook?
A chair would be in the way in the kitchen. Your also moving all the time, picking things from the fridges, putting things into pans or removing stuff out of them. If you are working at a smaller spot you are probably cooking the food and doing the plates at the same time too.

>Making someone stand for 8 hours a day seems inhumane.
I'm not a burger so I wouldn't know. In Europe you get breaks, one hour is mandatory if you are working an 8+ hour shift. When I first started cooking I never took my breaks, since I felt I got too tired when I had the time to sit down. Nowadays, I always take my break since I would go insane otherwise.

>>16818896
Every position besides manager is easy at pizza hut. delivery drivers seem happy when its busy and half of em are car dudes so they obviously like driving too. a blend of hobby and work makes for a lax environment

>>16816580
aren't post office jobs known for being stressful as hell though? pic somewhat related

>>16819068
wasn't a car guy and am bad at navigation (was before phones), so it really sucked balls

still want to work in a pizzeria someday.

>>16818740
>>16818781
Your business will close if customers are rude to your employees, because they won't take the abuse. Customers are extremely heavy sometimes and those aren't worth it. It's not like a customer got a wrong drink, it's like they threw food at me. If you don't kick the customer out for that, then the manager is always wrong

>>16816408
That's what you think lmao. Go ahead and quit, nothing will happen.

>>16816577
>NOOOO YOU MUST DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO CREATING PROFIT FOR MR. GOLDSTEIN

>>16816047
as long as you don't mind some hard work the only thing that might potentially suck for you are the hours. can be good if you want to make bank but you're expected to work long shifts and as many over 40 as the management sees fit. also with the way covid has warped the labor market, don't accept a shitty wage, in burger land some fast food chains are paying people 15$ an hour.

>>16816066
just look at this non white abomination. eeewww. grouce

>>16819243
I mean, it profit off him by earning wages so....

>>16817446
hes going to pick up a coke habit

My gf got a job at a chick fil a last week. This thread made me paranoid. How worried should I be?

>>16820631
Chick-fil-A is one big hug box. It's almost a cult and I wouldn't be surprised if your gf told you she actually enjoyed it despite being fast food. They have a talent for hiring only the most irresponsibly positive people.

>>16819101
It's been bad lately because of covid and everyone figuring out how to order literally anything and everything online. Package volume has absolutely exploded. You would not even believe how much shit people order. It's unreal.

I don't find it particularly stressful, not more than any other job I've had. Less than some, for sure. The bosses will try to stress you out though, they're very obsessed with time. Customers are fucking dick-smoking assholes, but that's true in every job.

>>16816059
HAHAHHAHAHA
No and no, honey. You are going to starve and die of hypothermia.

>>16816322
it's still shitty but if you're in a country with tipping, the tips are bigger.
that's about it.
but good luck getting a job in a fancy place.

also there are shitty customers in both.
just in an expensive place, the abusive white-trash karen or minorities are replaced with snobby richfags who'll throw shit at you because "it's OK, my daddy's the CEO of google so you'll do what I say".

>>16816867
because she knows she can get away with it, being a hot 18yo 10/10 half-asian genki girl with a fit body.

lol no, shut up and make my food wagie

>>16821152
i would refuse to serve you if you acted like an ass. my manager is awesome and she would shut your shit down real quick and you'd get on our "ban list" and that includes doordash and ubereats.

whats the source of this video?

Why do you care? they're faggots lol

>>16821396
the girl is cute

>her

what is the dance? how does it called?

>>16816060
Absolutely this. I had my best and worst working days in a kitchen.

Working on a restaurant is manual labor. It's hot and somewhat dangerous work if you're boh. You don't find many old men working a line.

>>16821553
It's fortnight bullshit

So why does food service have such a reputation for creating sluts (male and female)?

My friend from high school was a total retard, got a job as a dishwasher, busser and now bartender. He's probably banged like 20+ sluts because of his job

Kinda jealous but also not jealous

>>16820631
shes being dvped by the dishwasher and the manager right now breh

>>16817446

>is it worth it, in terms of learning stuff, considering he doesn't get paid?

anon your brother is a slave in a kitchen surrounded by drug addicts and felons. this is not an exaggeration. get him the fuck out now.

if he's not getting paid, he's getting slaved

>>16816082
I'm that guy at McDonalds right now. I pretty much work the grill, deep fryer and the sandwich table while the others slowly sweep the floor, wipe one spot with a rag or go in the back to "get something". Whenever I clock out I sometimes stay a bit and watch them and everything comes to a halt. Burgers aren't being made, the guy manning the deep fry diapered and they quickly run out of 'nuggies.
I plan on quitting in a month or two

Was your convenience store in a party bus, drinking after work, getting blowjobs. I've worked at my store for six months. Don't even know the names of my co workers and they don't even know mine. All of them are very unfriendly, not mean but just don't want to do anything. Granted I live in the Midwest so 90% of people here are like this but still.

>>16816047
>mfw ill be making $14-$15 in about a year in a half just to splash around in water
depends on where you work and what position. i work for a fast food place and all i do is take out the trash, wash dishes, marinate food, and maybe mop up. its pretty comfy since i dont have to talk to anyone other than the manager and because im in the back by myself i can just fuck around on my phone and shit when theres nothing to do. meanwhile being a cook always made me anxious about fucking up the food and i always hear the packers and drive thru people have to deal with shit people a lot

>>16816070
Clearly they're busy, get cleanin wagie

>>16816049
and mopping. and sometimes your boss clocks you out before youre done mopping. i sure do love the restaurant industry...

>>16816047
God I fucking hate zoomers.
Anyways working in a restaurant gives you access to lots of drugs and degenerate people. If you keep to yourself and just work then you can make it out of the restaurant business and into what you really want to do. But lots of people, especially cute girls, start working restaurants and get involved with drugs and the fast cash and get lost and never make it out.

>>16816082
It's 1 in 10 wagies doing 90% of the work, usually those are the guys get to be managers and shit. I've an uncle started at 14 left school worked at a grocers, big chain one, at 50 he was the state corporate manager driving a bmw around like a pimp.

>>16823156
but if they were the managers no one would do 90% of the work

>>16822953
Is that good? I make 15 now making sure everything is stocked. It's weird to think of that being a pretty good wage.

>>16818436
No. If you're over the age of 18 you don't have crushes on people. You fucking stupid underage. Adults call it romantic interest, not a "crush". If you are actually an adult and you still say crush, I genuinely from the bottom of my heart wish death upon you.

>>16819101
Problem with office jobs is they're endless processions of busy work with nothing to show for it. That's the part that drives people crazy. You don't feel like you're ACCOMPLISHING anything tangible, especially on middle management. It's why some go to blue collar work because at the end of they day you have something to point to and say "I did this".

>>16822729
see, if you were in an actual restaurant this is where you could ask for a raise because you're obliviously a linchpin holding the place together.

>>16823191
considering ive never had a job before and i constantly hear about people swearing theyre working for 10/hr its good to me plus i live in a rural area so everything's cheap

>>16823156
>>16823178
Which is why it's not really true that the 1 in 10 doing 90% of the work are likely to become managers. Shitty corporate managers will help promote some pretty face with shit ethic because they don't want the people doing the work to leave.

>>16816047

I'm 36, been cooking for 20 years and still get that feeling in my gut whenever chef starts yelling.

It's such an odd industry, working as fast as humanly possible (physically and mentally), getting chewed out from the sidelines while trying to remain composed without either completely falling off, or turning violent. No wonder I have bi-polar tendencies.

>>16817797
Luckily you don't own a business.

>>16816047
Good people, shit work, no room for growth, zero transferable skills.

Get a job in a factory, at least you could eventually become a logistics manager or some shit. Best case scenario in hospitality is head/exec chef, but you'll still be working 60hr weeks for fuck all money, alternatively you get a job as a sales rep for a frozen goods distributor and earn fuck all money.

>>16816047
it's how you make it. unless you're a server you'll start out doing dishes and cleaning up at night. if you're good they'll move you up to line cook. dishes is dirty and easy. line cook is higher on the totem pole and more difficult. if you work in a good restaurant the standards are high and work gets intense on weekends. you will be working very closely with coworkers. you better be able to get along even if you don't like them. that means taking shit, which will be worst in the beginning and recede as you establish yourself. they will treat you differently according to your position and competence. a certain type of person does best in a restaurant. if you aren't that kind of person then get another job. some have said degenerate which is not inaccurate. generally people that are alternative to the norm for better or worse.

>>16816047
>What is it like working in a restaurant?

After working fast food b4, you're better off being a security guard playing on your phone or on your laptop if you can. You're alone and don't ever really have to deal with anything. Although I did carry some pepper spray or tazer secretly so I didn't have to deal with violent schizos.

Working in a restaurant sucks unless you actually are passionate about food.

>>16825374
the only person I personally know who works in a restaurant views himself as a black sheep loner who goes against the grain for not going to college like all his friends. Actually, if he wasn't such a fucking weenie, I bet he'd even be on here. Instead he's probably on reddit whining about console games.

>>16825321
A decent amount of sex happened actually. Chick-fil-A does a good job hiring attractive people for the most part. So there were many instances where employees hooked up or dated each other. I never heard of anyone having sex at the restaurant, but one time this girl and guy were caught making out in the stock room before store close

>>16825930
I learned don't ask coworkers that came back from Afghanistan if they killed anybody. Almost got my ass kicked. The work was fine. I didn't like being around everyone else because they were normal and I can't hold a conversation to save my life. Cleaning the broiler was the worst part besides getting below minimum wage.

>>16825942
did you get good at making burgers there? Any BK hacks?

>>16825954
yeah, buy a charbroil conveyor belt

>>16825157
almost any night job (night jobs are mostly paying someone to make sure the place doesnt burn down by morning).
just think of a place or business that needs to pay someone just to basically exist and you'll find heaps.
Hotels, Hostels and Motels for example are legally required to have a member of staff on site at all times.
It means 90% of the time, your night shifts in these places are just chillin.
Once in a while you have to like.. check-out/in someone at 4am or ask some drunks to quieten down but thats about it.

I knew a guy with a pilot's license that got $60k/year salary just for owning a plane.
The rural fire service paid him to be "on call" all year.
He didnt have to actually DO anything, except be sober and be able to drop whatever he was doing instantly and respond to a forest fire.
So he'd sit around for most of the year just reading or playing vidya.
He said the worst part of the job was just having to be sober all the time, but on cold rainy winter nights he'd sneak a beer or two.

There's also lots of good /out/ jobs where you're alone innawoods and not interacting with any humans. Jobs maintaining trails or resupplying/cleaning remote Huts and stuff.

Just use your imagination and think outside of the 9-5 box.

>>16825997
He gets paid $60k to not have a life. If he had a real job he could do anything he wanted in the evenings and weekends but instead he's forced to do nothing just in case he gets a call. That's not worth 60k. I'm on call one week every month and even this sucks.

im a part time neet just getting work experience for when i might need it

Was a dishwasher for a few months at a country club when I turned 16. It was pretty shit and my coworkers were weirdos. I'd probably feel differently if I had good memories to go with the bad but I don't. There was a huge divide between the kitchen folk and the servers/foh to the point where i don't even recall even talking to one of waitresses at any point so nothing good from that angle either. I remember one night we were cleaning up and I had my area completely cleaned and squared away. I was ready to go because it was a school night and it was already late. One of the waitresses found a couple of little cups with like ranch or some shit out in the dining room and just threw it right into my area and ranch got all over the place. Perfect timing, the manager walked by but didn't see what happened, just the immediate aftermath and made a comment about me not having my area done and people are wanting to go home or some shit like that. Like I was just jerking off and keeping everyone from leaving.

That pissed me off. I went to school the next day and then back to work afterwards and the dish area was COMPLETELY fucked. Started barking at me as soon as I walked in. Did that last night and never went back. They tried calling me but just ignored that shit.

>>16816047
It’s shit work but if you’re a server, you can make solid money doing it. I had some nights I was pushing $30/hr. with tips. You can also hook up with other servers usually; I got to fool around with a fundamentalist Christian guy that worked with me. Lots of fun he was.

>>16823197
Blow it out your ass

>>16816047
if you have cute girl coworkers that are young (early 20s - maybe mid 20s), and the guys at your job are actually cool it can be kind of enjoyable. It still sucks, but I had a few jobs where my coworkers had fun personalities and we'd joke around all day. and also qt coworkers gave you constant eye candy to look at. It can be fun at times but also it sucks overall.

The problem with restaurant work isn't the work. You work hard and have to keep track of a million things, but that isn't the problem.

The problem is the complete and total lack of respect from customers and from management, and if you're not lucky, your co-workers too.

Happy kitchens are fucking few and far between, if there are any out there still at all post lockdowns. Most restaurants are owned and managed by a team of complete dickheads who constantly run their own business into the ground trying to step over a dollar to pick up a dime and while they hemorrhage money out one side of their ass and throw perfectly good food away with the other, they love to jump YOUR shit over every little thing that goes wrong, 90% of which will not even be your fault.

And it's the constant bullshit that actually makes most people fucking hate restaurant work and become like me, in that they enjoyed the work itself and being part of a crew, but I will never fucking work in a restaurant again, I'll just fucking kill myself first. Not doing it.

>>16816047
Hospitality is unique and depending on where you work/who you work with it will vary a lot.
One place will be boring as shit with an overbearing manager, the other will be boring as shit but your coworkers are fun and you're all functional alcoholics and your manager is negligent so you can steal cash out of the register to fund your Friday night.
It's a bit like bar work: Do it while you're younger and don't give a shit/can have fun anywhere but as you get older you're just going to want to gtfo of the industry because you can't put up with the lifestyle anymore.

>>16825769
you're an effete loser and your country is a joke

>>16825954
Not the person you responded to but I worked at BK for around a year. It was okay. Was pretty chill and didn't really mind it too much but it was overall boring. As for hacks, if you're getting anything chicken related, ask for it fresh from the fryer always. Most of the chicken products just sit under a heating lamp for a long time because it doesn't get ordered often. Don't buy any of the expensive burgers like the southwestern king or any shit like that, it's overpriced to shit and it's usually just a whopper with 2 extra ingredients on it so you can just ask for a normal whopper and ask for the extras for free. Never pay full price for a whopper, there's a survey you can fill out on the back of a receipt that lets you get a free whopper if you pay for small fries + small drink. Can just write random numbers/letters on and the employee won't give a shit and will ring out the discount anyway. Never get ice, that's a given with most fast food places but I don't remember if it ever got cleaned. If you want fresh fries, you could ask for fries with no salt and they have to make a fresh batch of fries. Then add your own salt in. The best thing you can get at burger king in my opinion is a double cheese burger, add lettuce onions and stacker sauce. The crispy chicken sandwich is pretty fucking good too when it's fresh off the fryer but it's overpriced. You can always ask for a small cup for water and then fill it with any fountain drink if you really care, but that's more of a general fast food thing. Most of the food is extremely meh but stick to the basic shit because it's the thing that gets ordered the most and people usually make it fresh + harder to fuck up. that's all i can really think off the top of my head

Fucking hated working food. Used to work at a pizza place and then a dishwasher for a few places. Pizza place was boring as hell but the pay was shit. Was supposed to get tips as well but my manager and coworkers would conatantly trade pizza for weed so I never got shit. Dishwash was the fucking worst. They expected me to not only clean up the entire fucking joint every god damm day but they then started trying to teach me how to fucking cook as well. Jesus nothing is worse than having a billion things to do, only to be pulled to the side to be yelled at that I don't know how to cook anything, then get bitched at that nothing is clean, then have your coworkers sit there bitching at you for being to slow while they do nothing to help and refuse to help cause "it's not my job". I eat out ever unless someone else is paying. I hate the food industry with a passion.
