Why am I not getting through to you people who have no experience in food service? Yeah you are going to finish making or selling food. People/Orders come in rushes. Once the rush dies down you can prep for the next rush. Once that is done you can take a fucking break. The people who work at McDonald's aren't robots. Think for a goddamn second. Ever take a moment of a break at your job? They deserve that too.
That's a bit like saying "Don't be a dick, don't order food at McDonalds, the employees can't take a break if you order. And definitely no big orders." If the employees can't take a break, it's the employer's fault, not the customer's.
But you see, that's the whole thing about "omg retail workers have it so hard" people. The only way to satisfy them is to never shop again. Retail is hard because customers exist. Otherwise it would be "do nothing, get paid". And these people don't actually give a shit if a business can survive on them doing nothing, because they're more focused on getting rid of those pesky customers that make their life oh so hard.
Yeah, retail is annoying. You know what else is annoying? Transporting garbage from location A to location B. Searching for 3 days in your own code to find a bug that's making you look like a dipshit to your boss and team. Roofing in the summer. Dealing with having lost your clients millions of dollars because stock X plummeted and you didn't foresee it. Being on an oil rig in the Atlantic for 9 months a year. Cleaning a hoarder's apartment. Getting shot at in Ukraine. Masturbating prize horses for the $emen. Looking all day at people's ugly stinky feet. They're all called jobs and people do them because they are literally a fucking part of our daily lives and the way we function and have a productive society. You're free to fuck off and farm wheat if you only wanna eat bread for the rest of your life, and you don't have to interact with anyone. For the rest of people who have evolved past a trade-based society, real life is that way (☞ಠ_ಠ )☞
But no, tell me again what a bad day you've had cause Timmy took 12 free samples. Jesus fucking christ, the balls on some cunts.
yea, agree, this is a weird line of thought. I think if anything cheating a corpo is a green flag
I worked at McDs.
There are no breaks between rushes. There are bathrooms to clean. Dining room to clean. Kitchen floors to sweep. Etc etc.
So, another 30 hugs out the door? I would give zero shits about.
I also worked at McDonald's and can attest. If anything, the orders of chicken nuggets were easiest to fulfill and boosted our metrics. I also liked to give people an extra nugget in every box.
I just wanna take a moment to point out the tone in my comment vs the tone in your comments. Maybe yelling at everyone to "think for a goddamn second" while you're making claims without backing anything up is why you're not getting through.
I worked at a couple different pizza/sub/wing shops when I was younger, I get that the rush sucks fat cocks but it's not the customers ordering food that makes it bad. It was the cheapskate dickweed owner Larry who understaffed the place so badly that you need to handle online orders, phone orders, and fold those pizza boxes simultaneously to keep up. Businesses just need to hire more people, customers don't need to stop ordering food.
