I worked with a guy who is a Vietnam Veteran. He said that working at McDonald's for two months was more traumatic than the entire war.
XD
😂😂
Well damn.
Personally I'd rather be shot at I'm a war I was drafted into rather then woke wage slave job, and in nam u could get high AF
That poor man.
I will never forget working in high school at McDonald’s and a customer came up to me and complained that the coca-cola was flat, so I told her I would find the problem and fix it. I went to the back to find out the box that had the bag of coca-cola was empty. As I was replacing the bags, my manager comes up to me and says the customer said that I had ignored her. Fast food was truly my induction into the world of just straight ignorance and stupidity
Yep. Having a small business did it for me. You really realize how dumb people are when you deal with them.
Currently going through that. I can't wait to get a real job.
Humanity truly shows its true colors in restaurants and retail especially around the holidays
Currently work ar BK and can relate. Literally some customers are either impatient to the max or the most inconsiderate or idiotic people I've dealt with. I'm glad I got this experience while I'm young and dumb.
@@vwoomy correction. A BETTER job. All jobs are real. Especially those that deal with customers. Dont belittle yourself/those in “low tier” jobs by saying stuff like that
Working at a fast food place made me realize how different people actually are. Whenever I went to McDonald's or other restaurants and they took a bit longer to make my food I either just waited or politely asked them what's up cause at the end of the day it's just fast food, it's really not that deep. Waiting 10 minutes longer for my food won't kill my family but once I started working at a McDonald's I realized that a lot of people really don't come up to think like that. The amount of people starting beef over a slighlty cold hamburher with teenage fast food employees is insane. They unironically get mad and act like someone abducted their mother
I think they don't give a shit about their mother))
"starting *beef* over a hamburger"
Literally I’ve recently started working fast food and I went to McDonald’s for 2 items but they were sooooo packed and I waited 10 minutes for my smoothie but I wasn’t mad nor did I complain because I totally get it. It’s so stressful sometimes to keeps track of all the multiple orders coming in non stop.
There's this McDonald's near my college that takes 20-30 minutes for any type of burger or sandwich to be made. Nuggets, fries, or literally everything else? Comes out in a few minutes, 10 max. But it shouldn't take 20-30 minutes to make a basic cheeseburger, (cheese, meat, and pickles). Now, I work fast food so I do understand shit happens, but this is a consistent issue.
@@moist1700Stop going to that McDonalds. Find another one that is not too far or go to another fast food restaurant.

Got fired in June from my job of 5 years for stopping a shoplifter from taking $1400 of merchandise, got a job over the summer at Taco Bell as a Shift Lead. Haven't worked fast food since I was in my teens. Not only was I reminded how bad the customers can be, my boss was toxic af. I have a neurological disability but I try my damnedest to not let it stop me from doing anything. One day my boss told me I needed to "Hurry up and stop being disabled". I asked her to repeat herself and she doubled down. I pulled the store key off my key ring, handed it to her, and left right then and there in the middle of making some assholes order. Not dealing with that crap
Good on you for standing up for yourself.
👍
👏👏👍
I think you can actually sue for that one
Wtf is wrong with that person
we need a national fast food workers day to honor the brave souls that serve our food.
I wish freaking wish. But that will never happen
Hey just wanted to tell you that Plz read everything btw Jehovah and his son Jesus Christ love you so much that God would send his one and only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead 3 days later Get a relationship with God and Jesus and confess for your sins and Live for Christ and not the world and allow God and Jesus into your hearts. God and Jesus are trying to save you from going to hell.

If labour day would count for us. Oh well
No? Just get the orders correct and you’ll be treated nicely lmfao 💀
I haven't worked fast food (thank god) but I've heard so many horror stories I just try to be the nicest I can be to fast food employees. This one time I was at McDonald's and had to wait like 15 minutes for a 6 nugget combo and it turns out they forgot my order. I was just like "yeah sure okay, how life goes sometimes" cause it's McDonald's and 90% of the time they're busy. I'm not trying to stand on a soap box and say I'm better than you because I do the bare minimum to make fast food employee's day a little less intolerable. I just want to show respect and give an easier time and thank you to someone who goes through much worse stuff than I do on a daily basis.
You're a real g for that ✊

As someone who has been stuck in a fast food place for 5+ years, I can 100% agree
Legit never felt so stressed in my entire life as I do any random day at work, never felt in so much danger or felt angry enough to kill someone until I experienced the type of customers you get in these places, the pay should be way higher to deal with this shit.
I was thinking about it the other day when 5 things went wrong in 5 minutes and realized it's like being in a mild state of panic for a whole day, every day
@@spartan3924 but you stayed for 5+ years ?? Do better
@@RedSport555 It's not that easy to simply quit a job, specially if you have bills or a higher position in it. I for example am stuck working at McDonald's because they are paying my college through a scholarship, that requires me to work there, because my family simply can't afford to pay for my college education.
@@RedSport555 well just come on over and give me a better paying job. The sad reality is, most fast food jobs pay like shit but somehow theres still a lot of other sketchy jobs that pay less than mine
@@joyitadarling5815 I've quit 2 jobs this year, first one got a job after one phone call and gave my notice. Next job I grabbed my tools and walked off the job. Had a new job 2 days later and started the next day. Between both quits increased my wages by 15k this year. Sometimes you just have to believe in yourself and go for it.
I’ve recently started working fast-food and I can just say it is so effing tiring. This is my first real job I’m 18 and I’m used to just being home all day playing video games . Suggestion for anyone who does this and plans on going into fast food. Be ready to be so exhausted and have foot/back pain from standing and walking around for hours on end. I’m lucky I don’t have to deal with customers and am just of fryer but holy shit does it get frustrating sometimes. I never thought that a bell sound for when a customer pulls in drive thru would give me so much stress and the rage I feel inside hearing customers order an ungodly amount of food they’re most likely not even going to eat. I’ve only been working for 3 weeks and it’s already making me wanna quit but when I get my paycheck it keeps me going LOL.
You’re working at an eatery and get stressed when people order large amounts of food? What?
@@IPS-FFF72girl some ppl order like $100 worth of food leave her alone 😭
dude i will kill to get more shifts at my store. its not even that stressful after a few shifts, especially when all you need to do is the fryer
Get gel inserts for your shoes and don't be afraid to double them. It makes a huge diffrenc6
I started working at Dunkin’ Donuts at 18. Just got fired a month ago because I lost my cool after 3 years of silence dealing with rude customers. I’ve had plans to leave before I got fired, but my job depending on me morning shifts on food stations. I couldn’t even get early schooling in up until now. Very toxic place , ESPECIALLY the customers. And it’s the same people every morning my entire time working there. Not to mention co workers not doing their part on a daily basis. Just mad nonsense. Glad I got fired tho. I got back into school & im ready 4 change
I worked 5-7 fast food jobs in my life and all of them were straight HELL especially how the customers acted

@@gimmeyourrights8292 yea bro I been working fast food jobs since I was 16
I quit Burger King about a month ago, and I don't regret it. They were trying to make me the know-it-all guy, and I was basically being told to memorize how to do damn near everything for making food and cleaning up the kitchen for closing. My coworkers were awesome, but I was the only one they were telling to learn all of this. And the shifts. God, the shifts. This was my first job, and I often worked 7-9 hours per shift, cleaning grease and crap off of the dishes and floor and making food pretty much nonstop. I'm glad I got out of there when I did, because I would only get about 4-5 hours of sleep half the week since I had to drive my brother to and from school early in the morning. God bless all of you other fast food workers out there, you need it.
Damn that was my experience at burger King too
I’m glad to see we’ve dealt with fast food because it’s a literal hell hole.
I was the janitor AND cook. I used to clean like a 3k sq ft BK ALONE. All while the damn teenagers at the front complained whenever they had to mop on my ONE day off... I worked from 10 PM to 4 AM. I didn't see friends. I didn't see family. My co-workers were my only socialization but most of my life during that time was nothing but the void of sleep and then the black silence of night. I should sue the fuck out of BK. They stole my time and I want it back. Oh and then I was a perfectionist and my boss would be like, oh hey can you doo all your regular duties tonight AND clean the vents AND scrub all the walls? Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks. Guy turned out to be a pedo btw.
Most likely from my experience they knew they could overwork you cause you were agreeable, next time u get asked to work a shift you don't really want to work, say no!!!
I quit on my second day…
I currently work in fast food as an adult (I just turned 27) and it’s a lot more physically demanding than people expect. I’ve worked in a few different places and the turnover is crazy high. People come in expecting easy stuff and barely doing anything but you’re serving food to people, so you’re constantly cleaning and taking extra care of all the supplies. People come in and expect to earn money for nothing but have to do something and just don’t come back. We’re working hard back there but so many people view fast food as the lowest of the low and only a job for kids.
It is hard work, but it's also unskilled and you have to realize that. After years of adult food service there was zero prestige in seeing a high school kid come in and know your whole career in a week. These things actually got to me so I walked out after 20 years (although the issues were more than just that) now a project manager for a military contract in a field I knew nothing about 2 years ago.
To each their own, 27 is still young anyway. At your age I was just thrown money to stay so I stayed. I could have been a doctor in ten years if I tried, but no I was 37 still doing it ten years later.
As a former Taco Bell employee, the most horrifying thing that happened was a rush that occurred minutes before closing at 2 am. We were slammed by at least 7 orders, and one of them has two party packs along with a shit load of other items. Not too mention at least 5 online orders. I had to sacrifice someone's party pack on an online order to get the drive order out. Me and my manager were out of there by 5 am. Absolute nightmare.
used to run register there... Online orders were the bane of anyone's good day working there. they make drive though orders ten times slower since making the food can take forever. There's barely a limit to how much food you CAN order too. I once had a order that nearly consisted of nearly thirty items alone and it drove the kitchen staff insane. people in the drive through would get so angry waiting and we can't do anything but apologize for the wait. The party packs were also WAY TOO MUCH for how much time we had to make them, our manager would go nuts when we were a second off and no one would be happy... people were always grumpy or emotionless from working there too much... Tacobell was a nightmare!
@Ian Smith how do u know he's a doctor?
bro people who wait to order just before you close are the absolute worst i don’t care.
@@xrrgr if you close at 2, you close at 2. Sorry that people are spending money at your place of business within business hours and helping to pay your wage.
@@kevinbond8966 blah blah blah this generic ass argument goes out the window when people bombard you with such large orders that even making one would push you past the closing time, and doing them all you close like three hours later. As i said you suck and I do not care.
and fast food workers get paid shit even tho min. wage is supposed to be an amt you can live and pay bills on, so they have every right to complain about
6:03 THIS IS SO FACTS BRUH. I thought my managers were chill but once they had a sudden switch up and wouldn't let me rest for one minute, that's when I realized my managers dgaf about us. Fastfood is the definition of struggle 😭
@Adolfizzz0 me too
@Adolfizzz0 no one cares about boyfriend charlie
Same in retail (Petco) Super busy and was perpetually stuck at register while checking out customers and taking phone calls nonstop. I have back problems so I pulled a chair to sit at the register, wasn’t even relaxing. Boss was like “ummm you’re not getting paid to sit on ur ass”. It’s only work apparently if I’m literally doing the same job but in pain. I was forced to stand while my spine was getting compressed as I was shaking and sweating with pain. Doesn’t help that I was also part of the 4am shift to stock the selves of 60lbs bags for hours followed by cleaning all of the animal facilities (the hard way because most of the equipment like vaccumes n such were either broken or prohibited). Chop chop, as I’m literally covered in dust, feces, urine, cuts, blood and bites. I’m sweating too so it was sticky. Had to clean em spotless with a cloth and scoop. A 1 hour job became 6 because “muh, corporate doesn’t want to fix it”.
I worked at Whataburger for two years, was brought to tears twice! One day a customer came in and asked me why I was so happy. One day I left 2 hours before my shift ended, clocked out in front of everyone and left them without a shift manager, I also took some sauces, a whata meal and chicken bites as I left 😅
As a current Whataburger employee who JUST started and is expected to know the WHOLE MENU for the again 7 DAYS I've worked here, I'm putting in my two weeks next week
as a former mcdonalds worker i can confirm i cried almost daily because of how rude the customers were !! very grateful for the experience tho i realized what fast food workers go through and am kind to each one ever since🙏🏽
My condolences are with you. I hate people and just try to ignore them
This is why I say please and thank you as much as I can.i worked at subway and those simple gestures go a long way
You need a strong will you did not
I worked as a cashier at ampm for 8 months when I was 19 . That experience is the reason I respect ALL customer service job , that job sucked
@@madmonty4761 I had no choice but to work there because my family was struggling and I was very sensitive during that time so yes, I did. I also had an accent from where I'm originally from so it made interactions with customers really hard because people from here are really harsh and very racist.
Fast food is like the precursor to how social media operates. Any notion of "most people are good people" goes straight out the window once the "most people" obtain some kind of anonymity/immunity and go apeshit with their true colors. Going to a lot of public places carries anxiety for me because I know I'm surrounded by a healthy amount of individuals who will turn full Satan when presented with a cashier or a phone screen and are just playing the part of civility because there's a crowd.
Fast food has an abnormally high number of people who would not do that normally because of hunger.
Most people are at least decent people when in a good mood, but after they are stressed the hell out from their jobs and crabby because they are hungry...
They are often looking for a reason to outlet the building stress
I don't think you understand how deep this comment is for me. You just described my anxiety around people in a way I never could. I'm about to roll myself a blunt to calm myself because I could literally cry right now. Never mind I'm already crying. And working at Dunkin' Donuts about tore me apart. The customers are disgustingly mean. It was like a window into people's true character.
@@aelanarbrightfield6817 I'm telling you right now, nine times out of 10 it has nothing to do with hunger. People take "the customer is always right" TOO FAR. People become unhealthily entitled when they're spending their money. And people have a very low view of people who work at fast food restaurants, contributing further to their bad attitude towards them.... they literally view those people as below them. Even if they're not that far away from them financially. They don't look at them as honest employees, they look at them as servants. And treat them as such. I've been that employee and I've been the customer standing upfor the employee behind the counter because some asshole wants to get mad over coffee or an ice cream sundae.
@@Ms9mmBeretta hey Ash. I see you. I don’t know whether you’re by yourself, but double down on that if you are, make sure your lights and music are super conductive to that, and indulge in some rest to recharge the best you can. Not many places for humans who feel things like humans over here these days. The culture is bent on making us crazy people just like they are.
I feel this. I went to a dairy queen in my hometown, and when I received my burger, it was perfect. Immaculate. The cook did an excellent job and it tasted even better. I am a big man, and I ride a motorcycle. I realize I can be intimidating at times. I went to the counter and asked who made my burger. This kid raised his hand and looked nervous but he was asserting himself and asked me if there was something wrong. He lit up when I said: "No, nothing is wrong, that was an excellent burger and you did a great job, thank you." He laughed and waved bye as I said bye. It was a wholesome experience. I know people are shit sometimes. I try to do my part in saying thank you to each person daily. Thank you Tommy
Reminds me of that video clip of someone shouting "WHO MADE THIS CHICKEN?!"
The employees reply: "We did sir."
Sir: "THIS IS THE BEST CHICKEN I'VE EVER HAD!"
lol i work in the grill mainly at a dq and its my living hell i appreciate customers like you
Heroic
WHO MADE THIS CHICKEN?! ITS FUCKIN DELICIOUS!
Aw that is really wholesome ❤
Being forced to do something even when there's literally nothing to do, I fuckin FEEL that. I hate when bosses are like "yOu NeED tO ALwAyS bE wORkiNg." cause it feels like it devalues the work you already do
Yeah the jobs that want you to do something when there is literally nothing to do are infuriating. As you get older jobs like that are less common.
To be honest, they are paying you. I've been told that a few times in the past and it never bothered me, if I owned a company and had workers I'd like them to work.
If there trully was nothing to do once in a while though, it's not bad to take it easy while still cleaning stuff, preparing the next day while having a discussion with your co-workers etc.
Granted, I've always worked at places where work was usually plentiful, even when there's much less to do at the time, but still I understand why they say that even if I can understand it can be bothersome
@@Ok-um5ho It's true but both sides I can understand. I think it's good to work at a normal pace without pushing too hard nor slacking off too much. The contrary would encourage either more extreme working from employees or on the contrary slacking off more. I'm saying that as an employee, granted I don't work in fast foods but still.
@@Carpatouille problem is when your bare minimum is on and u still get yelled at for standing around cuz u go at a snails pace and STILL GET AHEAD and counter service lmao i got done with my list in 30 mins and stood there for 40 mins waiting for a guest to come in shit was funny but managers were losing their mind
@@Ok-um5ho They always just whip the mule that pulls the hardest and complains the least. Don't be great, but don't be the slowest person there. Just be average, stay under the radar, and collect your check at the end of the week.
I remember when I first started working at Burger King at 16, my whole world view changed drastically. That was the first time I understood my parents when they told me not to grow up so fast
Honestly I still miss being a kid and teen, the good memories when I have fun. One good thing about being an adult is more freedom to make choices in how you want to live life but that also comes with responsibilities as well.
Too late now, huh....??
Burger King…
*me,who has always grown up fast in my entire life:*
Always has been.
Yeah, really puts things into perspective and realize that ideological zealots are just idiots.
I can say that I relate very much to this video. I worked at a Burger King for 3 years and went through a lot of shit with the customers. I eventually had enough and put in my two weeks. My boss’s boss came down just to speak to me and begged me to stay, and offered me benefits that I technically should’ve already had at that point, but didn’t. Told them I was good and I wished them luck. I moved onto a better paying job that respected me a lot more. You’ll get out of those horrible fast food jobs soon enough y’all!
Thank you for your service. lol
Good, you should always be looking for a better job. Never get complacent and know your own self-worth. If they wanted to keep you, they should've shown that from the start.
@@DigitalApex amen. But republicans will try to shame you for it.
Well there yuh go. You worked there a couple years, were miserable, and decided to make a plan to find something better. It’s the “career” fast food employees that work somewhere for a decade or more (off and on) that complain about their jobs that I cannot stand.
Get in, get a little experience, and work on finding something better for employment.
I've always been respectful to fast food workers. A lot of them seem to have a bad attitude but I understand that they're stressed out and doing there best while being rushed and understaffed
Worked in a Greek pizzeria for a couple years during high school. Afterwords spent years as an infantryman walking and shooting with crazy weight for 100+ hour work weeks (easy). Anytime I was feeling down about the job I'd think back to the hell that pizza shop was and all my complaints would vanish. Never again in the food service industry.
Think about this whenever they send you to the front to stave off the nightmares
I worked at a Dunkin’ Donuts my first year of college and when I came back (just for a visit), my coworkers were telling me that I left at the perfect time. Shortly after I left, lots of seniors in high school were leaving to go to college, and that Dunkin’ was so short staffed that if people wanted to leave, the owner wouldn’t give you your last two weeks of pay. Along with this, a girl working there passed out during the summer due to the AC being down and the owner literally refused to pay for her hospital bills. Luckily that guy is getting sued up the ass right now, but yeah. These fast food owners and managers are fucking insane.
He’s so right about fast food/retail managers. It’s so weird how they switch up on you. One week you’re doing great at work getting good feedback and one day out of nowhere get sternly reprimanded about something. Always happened.
If you aint sweatin, you aint working!! LOL!
For me I just quit and find another job
Definitely think that fast food work and fast food bosses are objectively worse, but bosses at sit down restaurants aren’t too much better sometimes, ESPECIALLY FAMILY OWNED RESTAURANTS. Bosses can get away with so much more if a restaurant is owned by them and their family, and the restaurant I worked at was shady as all hell. Not only did my boss never pay me or anyone one time for tip outs, but he withheld $170 in tips from me because a coworker told me to heavily discount my customers orders cuz their food took too long. THATS ILLEGAL. Also for a while the boss spent a lot of the profit of the restaurant on a lottery game room hidden in the back. It had top tier computers and GAMER CHAIRS in the back which probably cost hundreds of dollars EACH. Since this was in Texas, where gambling is illegal, that was hella sus. He took it down after a couple months cuz “it was bad for the restaurants image.” WHY DID HE BUILF IT IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN?! I hated working there, and I sent in a request for my boss to be investigated by the labor commission.
I think that fast food workers and family restaurant workers can unite on one thing: We learned a lot… about how crazy corrupt the food industry is.
Also for clarification, the boss never payed us on* time. We still eventually got paid lol
Bosses holding tips is a death sentence
@@BOG0690 its far more common than you think
every CEO raking in millions of our backs should have to work at the bottom at least once a year to humble themselves and learn to treat their workers better. like undercover boss, but actually real.
Thats actually the sad reality of work that for the majority of people working you are literally doing donkey work so some rich fatcat can sit on their arse and drink champagne all day

I’ll never forget on my first week of McDonald’s some lady came and yelled at me because her 2 B U R G E R S had meat on them. If y’all can, please dodge any type of fast food job like it’s the plague.

I refuse to work in fast food because I've learned from friends who've worked in fast food that people are...insane, like actually unhinged.
I've worked in fast food for over a decade. I've done truly every job in the place. I even have a college degree. I've never felt as disrespected as I do every day I walk in there. I cannot wait until the day I can finally leave and never go back. Good video dude. All true.

I've worked in retail, fast food, restaurants, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Across the board, anyone who even showed an iota of patience and understanding made the day 100% better.
I work a salary job now I'm out of that loop of hourly jobs so now it's my turn to be the nice customer.
Working in Food service in general makes you want to griddy across broken glass, everything was spot on, the endless work even though nothing needs to be done, you get paid chump change, and then eveytime you look up there’s another slimeball walking thru the door, the only thing he missed is the endless amounts of beeping from different timers going off 😂
I worked in a super understaffed, super mid restaurant (that may or may not share a name with a beloved SEGA character) pairing with a Love's. We were so understaffed, our drive-in wasn't even open. I lived in a mildly large farm town at the time. You'd be surprised at the amount of high and mighty farming "prodigies" that come through at lunch time and bully 14-year-olds because their job couldn't possibly be hard in any way at all. We also had an ex-employee (kind of a creep) come in with his girlfriend and get into fights with management (conveniently on my break most of the time). The saddest thing about all that is that the restaurant was breaking the law. We weren't allowed to discuss paychecks or be fired. I didn't even realize until I had left and the place had shut down. But, while fast food jobs suck, everyone should work one at least once in their life so they can know the feeling of being on the other side of the sliding glass.
Bruh I’m working at one rn, it is also super understaffed and it is hell, omfg.. I have to work my ass off all day tomorrow in that shitfest:(
For some reason, every Sonics I see is ran horribly
Nothing has inspired me to stay in school like having worked in fast food.
Had a friend work at a local McDonald's, according to her one of the soda machines had rats trapped inside, stopped working obviously. When it was opened up to be fixed, they found the rats and maggots. They had to consistently clean it after the fact. That sprite may not be worth it

Can confirm. Used to work at Little Caesars, now working as a Walmart cashier. You deal with more and more people than at LC, but at least you don't feel under pressure having 7 orders in circulation at once.

Hey, you need to get back in your kitchen and flip the burgers, they aint flipping themselves you know! And get me my ketchup and napkins while you add it!! And HURRY UP!
I’ve nothing but respect for retail and fast food workers, they’re the people who are sacrificing their sanity and success to get by and serve assholes that treat them like sentient garbage almost as much as their superiors do.
Literally yesterday, before thanksgiving, I work at a grocery store, very first person I served told me, unprompted that he knew I didn’t want to be here holiday weekend but it wasn’t his problem.
You ever just get that tingling sensation at the back of your head that’s been building up hate for the worse half of a decade?
Cause I felt it, I felt all those moments in middle school, high school and my first job all rush back to me and all I could think at the time was “How badly can I hurt this guy to where it wouldn’t require EMT’s?”
I fucked up (I say fucked up because the store manager came by and threatened to fire me for the eight time that week) and told him to fix his attitude before I come around the counter and fix it for him.
He proceeded to bitch about his experience and acted salty by bitching about me to other customers like some middle schooler
The lesson I’m trying to teach here?
Don’t ever fuck with retail and fast food workers, plenty of people have this misconception that they won’t retaliate because they want to keep their job, and the customer puts too much on that while the chances that you’re gonna get seven shades of shit beaten out of them, and honestly, sometimes these entitled pricks need to have their ego tenderized out of them, ‘cause being humble isn’t a choice, it’s an experience.
I felt really bad for people who worked at Popeyes when the popularity of those chicken sandwiches were high. A lot of drama went on 'cause of those sandwiches.
A man got mad at me when we first started selling the sandwich bc we had sold out of The stupid thing 3 hours before he got there and there was a sign on our speaker. He ignored the sign, orders anyways, ignores us when we say we don’t have it, pulls up to the window, and sits there for like 10 mins banging on the window and I got sent up there to tell him to move or order something else bc he’s blocking the line. He threatened to shoot me in my face and I just looked at him and said “me being dead isn’t gonna summon a fûcking sandwich now go away” he stared at me for like 30 more seconds then drove off but not before kicking down our outside trash can

This is exactly why I try to respect and be kind to those fast food employees at any opportunity given. You simply don't know what they are going through everyday.
Fast food job- You learn team work, communication, tasking, and the motivation to realize that you want to aspire to become something more. It’s not supposed to be a career. It’s a stepping stone. Unless you desire to be management or higher this industry is for the experience, not the pay. Now with employees making $20 on average, prices are inflated, employees feel entitled, lazy, and quality is down. Aside from Chik Filet and In and out, because of their education incentive’s,high volume of customers, and great customer service track record, the fast food industry is in the shitter.
Fast food is an industry just like any other. To say that it "isn't meant to be a career" is both wrong from an economic sense as well as demeaning to the workers themselves. Also, good on them for getting paid $20. That should have been the norm a decade ago.
@@jakekaywell5972Nah you really don’t deserve the $20 if you get such a simple order wrong.
Today my Math teacher was arguing with the McDonald's manager over the phone because they had gotten her order wrong, so she wanted a full refund, but she ate the whole order. I mean how does she want a refund when she has eaten the whole food. I felt bad for the manager😭
She was hangry
We had something like that happen recently at Wendy's. This woman comes in complaining about the order being cold but brings back 2 nuggets and a fry saying her boyfriend ate the rest. She was so pissed she couldn't get a refund she broke the container that held the cookies into pieces and one hit one of the employees. This happened a few minutes before I came to my shift.
If you didn't get what you paid for, why shouldn't you expect a refund? If McDonald's truly messed up, they should correct the problem.
@@TheClinophobic How could McDonald's give a refund without proof that they messed up. So many people do this trying to get free food. There was no evidence that they messed up.
You shoulda been like “youre a math teacher 1-1=0 you minus’d the food”
Didn’t work in a fast food restaurant, but my first job was at the weekends in a local restaurant as a kitchen porter (or a busboy I believe you guys call it in America). Jesus, that job was relentless, stressful and soul-destroying. Lasted 9 months before being replaced by someone full time. The only job I’ve had where upon learning I had been dismissed, I went to the toilet a short time later, closed and locked the cubicle door and celebrated. People who work in restaurants have my deepest sympathies and I will always do my best to be respectful to you guys.
i worked at pizza hut for 3 years and became a shift lead...it was the worst experience of my life. the costomers were aweful! the pay was garbage 14.50 an hour only when i was scheduled for shift management, (i live in an expensive state.) but i had to do the manager work no matter what shift i was scheduled for. and the worst part was my boss. he would call me in the morning to tell me how awful i was every day. one time he called me to scream at me for not organizing the one dollar bills neatly enough. well i ended up putting in my two weeks. he treated me really nice for a week and was trying to convince me to do a shift or two a week on top of my new job, when i declined he called me and told me not to come in my last week because nobody likes me, i suck at my job, and i am a waste of time effort and labor. i hate fast food.
7:58 this is a problem. I work at subway and a few days ago about 10 minutes before closing, a homeless guy sat down in the dining area. Not only that but he was fiddling with something that looked like a knife. I knew I’d have to tell him to leave eventually and at that time it would only be me and him in the store so I was so scared he’d try to rob me or something.
Man my first job was retail and even though the customers there are annoying I’m grateful I didn’t have to deal with the lowest of society like fast food workers do
Same
you must have been in something like target then because i've constantly seen the lowest in my walmarts ive worked lol, hell i clean up fentanyl/heroin nearly every day, the walmart reddit had a lady twerking and rolling across the pepper table while on meth
This is really common in first world countries like America
this is america
I worked at both and working in the retail rn, both are god awful jobs but retail is bareable since customers dont get fucking hangry.... Even though they arent all good and it gets busy to the point where you constantly work since you are on trolleys, basically if you dont need money dont work at fast food or retail get a better job 💀
i think everyone should work at fast food at least once in there life.
agreed, if everyone did working there would be a way better experience.
my father would never let me work in a fast food restaurant, instead he teaches me photoshop so i can work freelance instead

Have never worked as a Fast Food employee but I sympathize with my other fellow students who do. I have witnessed a few minor outbursts at classmates who happened to work there and always feel really bad. Stay strong.
Currently working at a Maccy D's, soon closing in on a full 4 months. I was surprised to hear how drastically different the employee-manager relationship is from my own...
Maybe this has to do with the country-based difference in corporate spirits (French McDonalds' worker here), but our managers greatly trust their own team, actually listen to our demands and requests, and even have a sort of laissez-faire behavior on off-peak hours where they're pretty confident we know what to do when after repeating the same gestures several times.
I was also most worried about sanitary issues too when I started out, but I was surprised to realize how strict their cleanliness protocol is, most likely due to the covid-19 outbreak which probably made them reconsider their entire hygiene M.O and then some.
However, it seems like no matter the country, you cannot escape the plague that is the Karen customer. Thankfully, our managers are quick to take over and take the brunt of their dumbassery in our stead.
I wish all overworked/burnt-out/depressed fast food workers you eventually find a job with stability and an impeccable work atmosphere. ♥
Here's the difference - unlike the US, it appears that, in many European countries, the governments actually work for the people and the general culture is very pro-worker and pro-union. You don't necessarily have a society of hyper-individualistic sociopaths.
@@KingdomHeartsBrawler Seems very fair! From my experience France is nothing if not pro-union, what with the amount of strikes I hear about on the regular :'D
In general, it seems more ingrained in European culture to have a less vertical hierarchy in the sense that every member of the chain has the ability to have their word to say. Or maybe it's just me being idealistic lol
do you guys have the stereotypical blonde karen too? lmao

I worked at a combination KFC/Taco Bell a few years ago. As a neurodivergent person, it was hell and I had the worst depression and sinus pains during that time. I did quit, which was hella hard due to other factors. After that, I just don't trust entry-level jobs anymore. With that said, I am proud to be a self-employed artist. At the least, I can tell Karens to GTFO if they are rude to me and warn other artists about them. I can also work around my special needs.

Our Franchise owner at McDonald's told a 7 month old pregnant employee, who just needed a minute to catch her breath, to get back to work and stop complaining or she'd be fired. An old employee heard this and punched the owner so hard he knocked out of tooth. The POS deserved worse.
The people who own/operate fast food restaurants are the scum of the earth.

Thank you

It’s ok this is a safe place you can vent your frustrations here.

As a McDonald's employee I have one tip for everyone, if you get food when it's not busy, ask for your meat fresh, it'll take couple extra minutes depending what you ordered but trust me, you want it fresh

I worked at two fast food places for about a year each....the only thing good I can say about fast food jobs is that they make any other job look good. If I had the choice between shoveling nuclear waste with a plastic snow shovel while wearing only Bermuda shorts and orange Converse HiTops, or working at any fast food place, I'd have to think about it ..
I don't. Radiation poisoning, here I come!
The hardest part of fast food is absolutely not the customers. It’s the people you work with, if there cool things are cool, if they suck, things suck REALLY BAD
8:05
The reason you got homeless people is because one of your goofy ahh coworkers fed them and gave em a beverage, and homeless people are like cats. You feed one, and more show up.
I had been working at edible arrangements for almost a year. I made 11/hr and barely worked 5 hours a day but the job was the chillest, easiest thing ever and the pay was just enough, I loved it
one day the owner decides to fire everyone for no reason but my manager at the time hooked me and my friend up with a job at wingstop right away since she knew the manager there.
I got paid 2x more but lasted 4 weeks at wingstop before I quit, I could not take it anymore. Shoutout to anyone who can actually work fast food and not lose their minds
5:32 nah we actually do get scheduled breaks here and there depending on how long we work for the day.
Like for example if we work over 3 and a half hours, we have to get a 10 min break. If it’s over 5 hours, we get a 30 min break. And if it’s a full 8hr shift, we get 2 10 mins and a 30 min break.
I've been working at Wendy's for 1 year and I swear on my life that the clients and employees there seem like a circus of so many crazy people who go there, I'll have to need a psychologist so I don't end up being crazy too.
Well same I remember working in Wendy there are way too much drama but working in Wendy I think it was easy cuz I was at the grill part
I work as a waiter at 12 hour shifts, and when I tell a lady that the breakfast table will be open at 9:00AM (it was 7:00AM) she literally went into the kitchen demanding her breakfast . She deserved my spit in her coffee.
@Adolfizzz0 I’ll take “Things that didn’t happen” for 1000, Alex.
I worked fast food before and would never risk jail time over some useless person. Lucky you weren't caught, I won't lie I felt like fighting a couple of customers in my teen years working fast food.
Oh nah people get 🔫 gun for that.
@@averagemike2171 nah dw dude,even if she DID file a complain about it to the cops they wouldn't care less. Thats how my country does things :D
@Kira Thank god im not in the US. Here in Bulgaria, its kinda common to do that. I know that this isnt the right way dealing with shitty customers but i was under HEAVY stress back there.
I’ve been working at the same fast food restaurant for like 3 years, the store owner is nice and chill but the minute past 1pm, the night shift manager walks in and gives me some tasks which is at a much higher expectation then I can actually reach.
I also clean stuff up there and… the drains… that stench is hard to forget, and the grease and subtle stains on the floor builds up and now my work shoes need to be cleaned every few weeks
Haven't worked a fast food job, but man I feel for y'all. I've seen what you have to put up with.
I was 2 inches away from getting a job at a McDonald's back in June, and I gotta say that I'm glad I didn't get it.
If you're a student, your priority is studying. You don't need shit on your life keeping you busy and stressed af. (Stupid part time customer service jobs ain't worth it)
@@Emeka.908 yeah just stay in debt
its a good job if you dont have anything else better than no money
I currently work at mcdonalds, coworkers and management is overall pretty chill up until you get to the general manager and upper management. My store isn't as busy compared to many other places but ive definitely had my fair share of rude customers and angry outbursts. Work gets me so anxious and ive broken down crying a few times too, it really does get that bad especially in rushes. i also have noise sensitivity issues, and when things are busy you hear loud machines screeching at you, metal clanking together, people yelling because of how loud everything is, customers talking, everything. its so overwhelming. i started the job at 17, i was very shy and i was homeschooled so i didnt know how to socialize as well as many others did. working here has helped me grow and learn to socialize better and now i'm very outgoing. its stressful asf and i wouldnt recommend this job to anyone who cant take stress or disrespect(i have a hard time taking either of those so lord help me). overall i still love my job for the friends ive made and the fact that its an escape from my home, i dont regret working here
been working at kfc for the past 2 weeks and the amount of customers yelling at me was insane, especially after 2 pm. Last night i finished my shift at 1 am and i legit thought of quitting because of how uncomfortable it was to see peoples' disgusted looks (i blame my clumsiness and social awkwardness). keep in mind this is also my first job and i have uni at the same time
Don't let them make u feel bad about yourself 99.9% of those people are npcs that are just unhappy with their own life so they feel the need to make other people feel like shit so they can compensate their own misery
They must send cops on training to work at fast foods, so they could get experience on anger management.

you gotta be one of the best content creators out there because i wasn't bored for even a SECOND watching this
all these rapid fire gifs and sped up videos are just what my zoomer ass adhd brain needed lol, thank you
In my very, very brief tenure at McDonald's (literally 3 days, I hated it that much) I had a grown woman employee yell at me for messing up an order on my second day in the middle of training. She asked how old I was and I told her 16, as I was still in high school. She basically told me that I wasn't going to get anywhere in life because apparently messing up an order equates to being a bum down the line. Anyway, I told her "At least I'm not 40 with 3 kids working drive-thru at a McDonald's." Needless to say, management sided with her and that was honestly the last straw as I was screamed at by random people for the better part of every shift and I just told the manager I quit after my third day. You really run into some nasty people in customer service, especially when it comes to food services.
I then got a retail job as a cashier and stuck with that for like a year, finished up my semester at school and just joined the military. That's been working out so far.
I never worked in fast food but I heard so many horror stories so whenever I buy something from fast food I always make sure to say thank you and be polite to the workers because I never understood why people are so harsh against the workers. They're not paid enough for the amount of work they do. Honestly any minimum wage job gives you so much work it's ridiculous. I went to college, got a degree for computer animation and now I'm learning to code in my free time just so I can avoid being in minimum wage jobs. I have high respect for minimum wage workers.
This makes me feel better about quitting my job at Wendy's, I felt so guilty about it forever.
Don’t. It only goes up from there
Shoutout to my McD's managers.Y'all are the only reason I've survived this long.
Still quitting as soon as I find somewhere better tho lmao
I’ve worked in a school, industrial kitchen, done hard labor, I’m currently working peak hours in a trauma center... and it’s all not as bad as the fast food job I had in college
i still remember a lady yelling at an employee at subway for charging her extra cause she asked for extra meat and cheese
@Adolfizzz0 npc
The people these days who want to take their anger to the fast food worker are just need to take their time and anger elsewhere. I am always be respectful when ordering food and when they get it wrong I would tell them. The only thing I encounter was probably homeless / poor people getting thrown out. I hope everyone who works at fast food restaurants have a good shift.
i work at Wendy’s. not supporting the quality of the food or anything but i know for a fact that we do NOT grind up meat to put in our chili. at least in my state. we did have to recall a lot of lettuce recently because ecoli parasites were found in it and hospitalized 90ish people. Wendy’s aside from that is on the better side of fast food in my opinion. I’d stay away from the lettuce, though…
I had to at Wendy’s as well.
My boss had this wierd mentality that no one should know about the chili meat being burger meat because idk. Maybe to keep the illusion it was fresh or something? And god, i had to always be in the grill position.
Not sure why, but i was regularly assigned the stupid lunch shift 11:15 to 5. I FUCKING dreaded going to work. So much shit broke there too.
I work at Wendy’s currently as a Shift Manager and that’s what our store does sadly. “Grind up really burnt 2oz and 4oz Patties and put them in the cooler with a bag for the Chili in the morning”
Damn that's good the Wendy's I work at we did grind up all the meat we did not used that day to use it for next day chilly
I went to college for the first time and saw the workers at the chow hall ACTUALLY checking the temperature of the eggs and shit had me spooked for weeks
I’ve been working at a McDonald’s for a year and a half and all these incidents u named I’ve dealt with. I remember having to stop a fight late at night that was happening in our parking lot or when I walk right in my manger yells at me talking about hurry up and clock in and start taking orders like u get no time to relax, and granted I just got out of school so I’m already kind of drained from having to consume whatever my teachers have me do that day. So yeah just remember everyone to treat fast food workers with kindness because they are there to allow u to get a quick bite to eat.
Working as the night shift dry cook at the busiest Applebees in the state has me dying. We have endless boneless wings right now, and I literally feel my brain wrinkle with each beep of my screen
I don't have any anxiety disorders and I shit you not, one time I woke up in the pitch black of my room, just sat bolt upright cause I heard beeping in my dream, but obviously when I opened my eyes I saw nothing, and my brain just was like, you're at work, you're sleeping on the floor at work, and I just started to panic until my eyes adjusted and I realized I was in my room in bed.
And it's videos like this that make me glad that I work at Five Guys of all places, we kinda got the Chick-Fil-A situation where since we're supposed to be friendly and smiling all the time no one really gets mad, but when we do get karens, there's no force in the world that'll stop 'em. Normally though the manager takes their claim and says they'll deal with the "problematic" employee later/at the end of the day. And then dont because they know the customer was being stupid but just wanted them to leave.
I was at Tim Hortons, and I was pretty nice at some points. In the mornings, you made 2-3 tubs of hot coffee, usually 6-8 pots each, tossed them in the walk in fridge, that was your iced coffee for tomorrow. I usually worked the front, so in the morning you would memorize the usual customers to the point that you had their coffee waiting for them by the time they came to the counter.
I was the only one who actually cleaned anything (even during the "pandemic"). I cleaned the bathrooms, wiped down all the tables, took out the trash, cleaned the soda nozzles, cleaned the inside of the ice coffee and ice tea vats once a week, (they said that was unnecessary, but I had a handful of gunk scrubbed out by the time I was done, plus doing that took about half my shift so it made a good excuse.), cleaned cutting equipment, and so on. Now, I'll be surprised if they so much as change their gloves after using the bathroom.
I only left because I figured I shouldn't stick around at a fast food place forever, plus I got a job at being a custodian. My manager offered me to stay at an awe-inspiring raise of $0.50 AN HOUR! I politely declined and appreciated the gesture and thought behind it.
I work at Del Taco as a cook and I put in my two weeks after being there less than 3 months.
It sucks. The managers are smarmy and shady, coworkers are miserable and extremely snobby high school kids, the work is extremely tense especially since you're understaffed, and the worst part is I let them build my work schedule around my university schedule and they made it so that I have almost zero time to study, let alone do anything else with my time.
I would argue that grocery stores are almost as bad. I'm not sure why but for some reason being in a grocery store just brings out the absolute worst in people. After a while you either become jaded and respond to everything people say with complete calm and indifference or you go insane and quit. We watched a training video when we got hired where the guy talking said "grocery retail is my passion".
If you ever, EVER meet someone who unironically says "grocery retail is my passion". Run away. Run far far away because that person is a psychopath.
Yeah i never realized how angry people could get while buying groceries till i started working at a store. Its ridiculous, just buy your food and get out.

My time of working in the fast food industry is close, and i hope the best for me 🙏
At a bk near me a guy threw his drink at the employees (an all minor crew) then when they called cops and tried to stop him from leaving, he literally broke bones. No charges were made, it was 'self defense'.
