Anyone else feel really bad for fast food employees every time they order food from their establishments?(not the greasy teenage shitheads)

nah i dont care about flyover plebs

[Anonymous No.5918095]

I feel bad for them because I know the shit they have to put up with every single day.

That's why I always try to be decent to them.

[Anonymous No.5918097]

>>5918079
why should I feel sorry for them, if the faggots weren't afraid of manual labor they could easily double their income, but instead they took the easy option

[Anonymous No.5918100]

>>5918079

Nah, but I do feel bad for anons who try to force shit memes. Also, most of the people who are working are there by choice.

[Anonymous No.5918105]

>>5918095

Exactly. My first job was 17/hour and I basically got to be on my own all day driving around, and could basically spend a good 4+ hours on my phone sitting doing nothing, and I still hated that job, someone telling me what to do even once in the day pissed me off.

I cant imagine being on your feet the entire day, ordered around by assholes, and making less then half I did at my first job. Shit must suck so bad

[Anonymous No.5918116]

>>5918105
you only get ordered around if you aren't the type to see what needs doing and do it. if you're lazy or unmotivated then yeah your gonna be ordered around because it's the only way you'll get stuff done. you got to have your sweet gig because you would do your work without someone hovering over you making sure you were doing it

[Anonymous No.5918118]

Yes because I've worked those jobs. I'm always as polite as possible because I know how many intolerable cunts they have to deal with.

[Anonymous No.5918119]

>>5918116

Not necessarily true, sometimes managers are batshit insane and will yell at you even if they're upset because someone else was being lazy. But yes, typically what you said is the case.

All the full-fledged adults that are still working in fast food are burnouts, assholes, or downright retarded. I feel worse for the teenagers stuck with them than the adults.

[Anonymous No.5918683]

>>5918079
I do. I went to fucking Indiana for the first time the other weekend and saw more sad people than ever before in my life.

One of the saddest bits of the whole trip was this woman in her late 40s or 50s who was working at Burger King on the late night shift.

Where I'm from, you never see anyone under 30 working at a fast food joint. It just seemed so sad to me that this woman was stuck working at burger king at that stage of her life.

Fucking depressing, man. If I could give her a better job, I would, but I'm just a college student.

I was sad to leave my friends, but happy that I no longer had to come home smelling like peanut oil everyday. Now I have a job that has to do with my degree.

So no, not everyone who works in a ff job is stupid. Sometimes you have to suck it up and take what you can get. Thanks for those who are kind.

All people that work @ mcdonalds are low life losers.They have no ambition they are lazy they belong in jail.

[Anonymous No.5919318]

Mcdonalds workers have no ambition.

They got no were in life and are going nowere in life.
The majority of them belong in jail.

[Borneo No.5919347]

>>5919318
Lots of them are also poorfag students who need a source of income. But yeah a lot of them don't have high ambitions although you could say that about a large chunk of the population too.

Also lots of immigrants that don't have the skills/language to get jobs elsewhere.

Why not get a job at a restaurant though? It is marginally less degrading and even at the shittiest of restaurants you will make more then minimum wage with tips.

I've never interacted with a mcdonalds employee who seemed to be intelligent enough to be college material.

I worked at Burger King and McDonalds when I was a student, and I ended up teaching History at a university.

Every other thread on /ck/ is about fucking burgers, so I don't understand why people have so much contempt for the people who serve them up.

[Borneo No.5919429]

>>5919381
The problem is students tend not to have job experience which makes them difficult to hire. Only fast food places which provide on the job training anyway will take them. When I was looking for a summer job I applied for dozens of restaurant jobs and McD's was the only one that would hire me.

>>5919406
Honestly most workers just go into automatic mode, it's not the kind of job where you need to turn on your brain. You literally just have to memorise the routine and are nothing more than a machine. The only reason they haven't been all replaced by machines is because it would creep out customers and start a shitstorm.

[Anonymous No.5919432]

>>5919411

No, I'm the only person in my family who worked for fast food (regional coffee shop chain for a couple of months).

My dad washed dishes at a hotel as an undergrad, my mother never had to work because her family back home was loaded (third world aristocracy). None of my cousins worked in fast food either. Some of my aunts and uncles worked menial jobs at department stores and stuff like that when they were younger.

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying McDonalds seems to attract unusually stupid people. There seems to be a pecking order with these chains, but I don't really understand why. It can't possibly be competition for wages or differences in operating procedures.

[Anonymous No.5919443]

>>5919429

Huh, maybe it's because of the area I live in, but I find it hard to believe that it is that hard to find a job at a restaurant. For instance, I walked into a shitty restaurant, asked for an application, talked to the manager, lied about my experience, and then had a job two days later. All my friends have had similar experiences.

Don't restaurants have very high turnover rates? Thus they are always hiring people?

Maybe it just depends on where you live.

[Anonymous No.5919461]

>>5919443

Probably because you can speak in complete sentences and look people in the eye when you talk, and the manager was like ZOMG HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS AWESOME.

People tend to associate with people similar to themselves, but you overestimate the employability of the average man on the street.

During my 6 months working for a chain coffee shop, I had a few people drop off applications. I remember the only person I actually liked and wanted to work with turned out to be an ex felon (white collar criminal looking for his first job out of jail). Everyone else was borderline retarded, visibly pregnant, or had some other fatal problem (of course it wasn't up to me, but in any case the manager hired none of them).

[Anonymous No.5919482]

>>5919461

I reckon you are right. I grew up in a fairly well off area so I guess my sense of the average person is probably a little skewed towards the right of the bell curve.

If you can't figure out how to wait tables you might not be cut out for human existence

[Anonymous No.5919591]

>>5919563

If you try to learn silver service on the job, I'm going to kick you out of the fucking restaurant before people get past the amuse m8.

There's a lot more to waiting tables properly than popping up in a Chili's polo shirt and saying "my name's Shavondra and I'll be your server today can I get you settled with some drinks and breadsticks?"

Try going to a good restaurant once in a while. Just remembering which wine belongs to which table is tough for most people on their first night in a proper place.

[Anonymous No.5919616]

>>5919591

The guy literally said "walked into a shitty restaurant", do you think the manager even knows what an "amuse" is? If you want to wave your e-peen, I think the tea thread is currently the fashionable place for that.
