This is totally accurate. I worked at a Wendys for 3 years, age 16-19. I developed a deep hatred for customers during that time. To this day, now 46, I still think customers are the worst people.
In a way I will agree, some in my area up here in TC MI be lucky enough to be born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Next thing ya know an at least decent job gets handed to them at a young age. Seen it a lot around me and at the high school I attended.
i was working "there" for 3 years of my life, i was completely destroyed. Couldn't sleep at night, extremely bad diet, no social life, days were like minutes because everyday you do the same shit. I couldn't hold it anymore and I just quit. I was thinking there can't be anything worst then that. 5 years later I can still say there is literally nothing worst then working in fast food
I worked at McDonald’s when I was 16 years old. I remember my arm constantly getting burned by oil splashing from the grill. I told my supervisor about it and requested to work cashier/drive-thru. Then a 50 year old lady co worker rolled up her sleeve to me showing burn scars and telling me to stop being a baby. These establishments don’t care about you and you’re just a number to them. Do what you have to do to make ends meet, but always be striving for more in life.
This is why im always patient with fast food employees, they dont get payed enough for half of the bs they deal with so i try to make their life as easy as possible when i order.
@@gijsw8681😢😢 thank you.. McDonald's workers are treated like shit.. I quit already tho, because I can't hold it much longer.. I worked in McDonald's for 4 years+ 2019 - 2023 it's a living hell😢
This video is liar, sensationalist and extremely exaggerated. This video tries to give the impression that working in fast food is hell on earth, being that it is one of the best unskilled jobs there is, I worked in fast food for two years in the United States, my salary was 220 dollars a day, and that was great for me! The only ones who complain are bums who don't like working.
It was more soul crushing and draining than simply learning a valuable skill was? Is that literally the decision you made? Reading a book was more difficult than working in fast food is what you are telling me?
@@quan-uo5wsno but he’s right, how the fuck does someone make the decision to last 2.5 years at those jobs and not invest in making a small business or something idk offering a service or selling food gaining way more money, instead of that he didnt do anything. It’s entirely his fault and my guess is that for 2 years he didnt save any money at all.
ive never worked in fast food but am i right by saying that those he did, see humanity as it truly is? disgusting vile cruel and egotistic. and dumb and sadistic?
@@badrrharriit's not about the animation or the voices, it's about the experiences we witness in our daily lives...but whatever man it seems like u don't have the capacity to understand it
When I was a student, I worked for 4 years at a Russian McDonald's, which was the largest in the city. My managers were good people who thought I was a good employee. I didn't have many problems with customers at the restaurant, but one day my colleague was hospitalized after being beaten by drunken assholes. But working at the drive thru was one of the most difficult moments and is most realistically shown in this video. It's been 4 years since I quit there. I have a good job, but I still have night dreams where I work at McDonald's, and people scream at me from everywhere.
By Russian McDonald’s do you mean the one in Moscow? If so, I actually went to that one when it first opened in the early 90s. It was such a trip. We haven’t seen anything like that growing up in the communist Soviet Union.
@@wolfbyte3171 that’s true, they have something very similar to McDonald’s with similar menu except that they named it something else. I can’t think of a name. But when I went to the very first one that ever opened in Soviet Union back in 1990-1991 (not sure the exact year) the line was about 6 blocks around the building. My mom brought me there, I was a kid. At the time there was no drive through. I am not sure if they added drive through later or not.
I worked in so many fast food chains before getting my actual job, i fell into depression. It was the worst depressing shit I’ve ever gone through. Respect to all the people who work there.
Bro, I feel you. My situation is different because I had the depression primarily and had to take any job to earn some money - and for now I'm working at food chain (for 3 years now). Working there is hard, working here while being depressed is superhard. Hope your life is better now. I'm seeking a different job currently.
Amen. And I am always behind that guy in line who doesn't know the menu and has to figure out what size fries he wants or which kind of happy meal. I always figure out my order in advance if it's a short line (I won't get on it because I won't be ready) or if it's a long line I have time to work it out. Don't be that person who can't make up their mind with 10 people behind you on line.
Fuck that. I did everything in my power to avoid that shit. Army to Tower climber toWind Turbine Electrical Technican to High Voltage Lead to Site Manger making six figures without a degree. Worked with some brain deads and some felons. Most usually making at least $30/hr. Not even that difficult of work. Some people Definitely were made to work at Mackys but hate to see the ones with potential feel trapped their.
I’m really not trying to judge or be rude, but why would you stay in fast food for that long?? I know not everybody is cut out for it, but an able-bodied man can get a job laboring in some kind of construction making double (or more) than working fast food. Sure, the work isn’t easy, but you don’t have to deal with customers… AND you can learn on the job if you show you want to. Construction companies are always looking for help. Even as a grunt with no knowledge, you can start out making at least decent money..
@@Big_AlMC hey man, I have a master's degree in management and speak 5 languages but only find shit jobs. can you please guide me on how to make some serious bucks? kind regards
I worked at Mc.Donalds for 6 years. 2008-2014 Let me tell you, its soul crushing. My biggest issue was the Drama that played out. Coming to work was like a soap opera, a new episode everyday. Whos fucking who, whos pregnant, whos back stabbing who ect. Never again would I ever go back to customer service.
Every job has the same bullshit. Who is pregnant, who has menopause, who has quit the job, who called in sick but was seen in the city and so on.... I hear that everyday at work and I dont work in fastfood....
Well, for things going both ways, fortunately the local McDonald's where I live is really nice. I'm kindof a regular there, they seem to really appreciate having me there and I enjoy going.
I think that honestly says more about a lot of the people working fast food. I remember my friend at BK always had the best (most dramatic) stories about her colleagues showing up high, yelling at the manager, fighting each other lol. Meanwhile I just worked in some random shop and all my colleagues were super tame
@user-vi9zm5ss4fWell said bro. I worked retail customer service for 5 years so I too know what it’s like and still came in with my best attitude every day. But I just went to Taco Bell and got ignored for 10 minutes, no greeting, no smiles, no thank you, and exasperation when mentioning they forgot something. I pity their depressing lives but decided I’ll never go back those dementors.
@@nymphia5767I stay calm and timid, but also keeping it polite since the cashier sounds like she will snap. She must be depressed and frustrated of the job she hates.
I remembered working at McDonald's 10 years ago and this is really spot on. You had a customer complaining about some minor bullshit and people literally asking for stupid stuff. One time I saw a customer actually threw a fries to one of the staff because it looked like there weren't enough. You have some immature customers coming in from time to time. Few days are good and majority of the days can be a real pain. I once saw a customer who refused to pay and something similar happened to one of the girl that worked at McDonald's. She literally had a drink thrown at her.
and the thing is you cant complain or not do anything abt it or then the karen will get angry and throw a fit leaving 1 star review and trying to make you get fired
Never understood why those vermin never get banned from theses establishments. If I had the power there to ban these idiots I would without hesitation, that would make people want to come to your place much more because they know your place doesn't torelate this kind of behaviour. Not to mention it would bring my employees piece of mind knowing they wont have to deal with these people anymore. Never worked at a fast food chain so I don't know how shit the management actually is.
@@JamieEmmonswho cares if you get fired that would be something to be proud of why are these comments sections full of terrified people that have never stood up to the man and dont have a personal tolerance levels? Ever think of managing your manager?
@@BR1.618They come because its a toxic business that has been allowed to exist because of corruption in government. They are poisoning the food supply. Keep Voting Democrat
I worked at mc dons for a year. Crushed my soul and weakened my sympathy towards people. Even when you’re genuinely trying to help someone and being nice, they’ll still blow up and treat you like shit. Its like being in an abusive relationship but you rely on it to live. People don’t like that grocery stores and fast food places are having self check outs, but no one wants that job at mc dons unless it’s their first job like it was mine
It's been a long time since I've worked in fast food, but those infernal beeping noises of the hold timers are forever seared into the back of my mind.
I used to work as a taxi driver. Although the vast majority of passengers were good, it's the bad ones that ruin it. Plus bosses who don't care about you and disgruntled colleagues.
I worked customer service at target when I was straight out of highschool and honestly while the people sometimes gave you a tough time, I transitioned into the blue collar construction world and I long for the days of having to deal with grumpy customers because the shit I do now makes that shit look like a walk in the park 😂 y’all are complaining about these jobs but compared to some other jobs people have where you’re quite literally risking your life/serious injury on a daily basis, that shit is a breeze.
@@jamesbaka1206 there are advantages and disadvantages of every job in the world. What might be a good fit for one person, may not be a good fit for you and vice versa. Relax dude. Jesus loves you❤️✝️❤️
Worked at Mcdonalds for almost 4 years, everything in this video brought back memories, especially the coupon part. Any of you guys working fast food and wanting to get out, trust me and do it. The shit ain't worth your mental health and I guarantee there's better jobs out there.
There really ARE better jobs out there right now. I live in a very small, rural town in NE Ohio and I can rattle off 5-6 Construction companies within a half hour drive of me just looking for people to at least SHOW UP consistently starting at like $20-$25 an hour (at minimum). $20 an hour isn’t anything in Cali or on the East Coast, but it’s a great starting pay in a small Midwest town. Companies in places like Cali are probably paying $35+ an hour just to start out with no experience!!
Since I became disabled I've been amazed by the kindness of fast food staff. I'm always told that my order will be brought to me and often I'm fast tracked to the front of the queue. I never ask for these things, I'm always happy to wait my turn and carry my own stuff so it's touching to realise there really is so much kindness out there in the world. Many thanks to all the people out there who have so much goodness in their hearts.
I worked at McDonald's from the day after my 14th birthday up until the day before I turned 16. A horrid experience, but those two years taught me so much. I think everyone should work a job like that at least once in their life. Gives you motivation to do all you can so you never have to work like that again 😅
@afxtwinreverb no doubt lol. And the rules that allowed me to work there that young got abused HARDCORE 😂. But like I said, I learned a lot and was able to save up enough for my first car. Wouldn't change a thing
I always try to be nice with these fast food employees because man, the amount of people who show zero respect towards them and make them feel like shit is insane. Nobody should be put down because of their job. Courage to all the fast food employees. You are better than all these people.
90% of the time I agree with this idea. Tbh I have low expectations of get my order basically right and don’t be actively rude for anyone in these jobs. Having said that some people do have especially rude attitudes which you do have a right to get a bit annoyed by, you are getting paid at the end of the day…
You should hold this job maybe for a few months before realizing its toxic and you have to either get a better one (Not hard) or start your own. These places are serving poison food to the public. Why should those who represent them get any respect?
Yes, they work really hard to make tasty meals for their customers, and they get paid a low amount of money, i never worked a fast food job, but i understand what they are going through
If you work in a fast food place such as McDonald’s you will understand why mistakes can be made and to never treat employees poorly - it really teaches you to have empathy
I worked in call cwnter and still have a customer service role, althought not so bad and yes, working in customer service makes you more empathic and nice as a customer.
I work at a Starbucks as a side job to get customer service experience. The worst experience I had ever been through was someone threatening to kill me with a shotgun over freakn iced coffee. Stay strong people.
That's normal in a stupid country like the USA. Go to some other country for a better life. Even 3rd world countries will get you better experience than US.
I used to work as a hotel receptionist and yes your story is true a costumer threatened to kill me because he didn’t make his reservation. Turns out he made a reservation at a hotel a block away .
I'm Japanese, and I just came across this video. I went to the us for the first time when I was 23. I coulnd't speak a lick of English at that time. About 6 months into my life in the us, one day, I went to the drive thru at Mc Donalds. I spoke to the speaker and said "can I have a cheese burger", and a female worker over the speaker just laughed at my English so hard. "HAHAHAHAHA!!! HEY COME OVER HERE!! THIS GUY IS FUNNY!!!" and a male worker took over and asked me "what can I get for ya?" and I said the same thing, and he was like "pshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" I was not just angry, but beyond angry, and you know, when you have a negative emotion that is just beyond anger, you just become sad --- in my case, sad about my own bad English? sad about their lack of respect? I don't know. But I just took off without getting anything and went straight back to my house and into my bed and I just cried and cried and cried sooooo hard. I couldn't even order a burger. My English was so bad. I thought I was helpless and just meaningless and I wondered why I am here and I even questioned why am I alive. I didn't see any meaning and value in myself. This experience created a huge scar in my heart for the next 3 months. I thought about going back to Japan. I wanted to run away. But then I realized that if I don't change myself, I will be the same anywhere in the world even in my own country. I will continue to run away from any problems I face. I wanted to change myself. So, instead of running away, I decided to learn English and wanted to achieve perfect fluency like a native speaker. Basically, this experience at McDonalds didn't give me a reason to run away but did give me a motivation to overcome my weakness and became the catalyst for me to be able to push to the limit to master the language (I know I still haven't achieve that fluency yet). So,, had it not been for their mockery toward my English, I wouldn't have been here in my English journey. I don't know who they are who laughed at me back then, but you are one of those people who I appreciate and will appreciate the most for the rest of my life.
I’m so sorry :(( that was mean. They were probably just insanely stressed and you were an easy target. Guarantee they’re the same people who go to Japan without speaking a lick of it and expecting everyone to cater to them.
Your stories are amazing man. They might be depressing for a large part, but knowing I'm not going insane and I'm not the only one who sees the insanity of modern world really helps me to keep struggling onwards. Wojak standing up for Josh was the most wholesome thing, subverted the expectations as in most media a character like that would've been used for derigatory comedy and not sympathy.
Yeah good analysis, at the start I expected this dummy character to be a pain for the main character, but it was not the case at all. They are just two humans going through the same painful work experience.
Yea but those drivers but doing way more and have to put up with ya laziness everytime shit loaded wrong. I hate to be pretentious but it’s a low iq job no degree needed… sorry but this is a sign of weak society
Having worked in a fast food restaurant while studying abroad in the UK to make some money and practice English, I have dealt with different kinds of people, most people if treated well will be respectful, some people are just so friendly and polite and make you smile from the heart… very few people are awful.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart man 🙏🏻 I'm a McDonald employee, with shit payment and shit shifts 'cause I have to pay school and help my family 'cause we don't have much money. I thank you for this video. You almost made me cry. There's someone out there who's trying to empathize with my situation. Thank you, videos like this are really really important for people's sensibility. We, in McDonald, are just humans like all of you. We try to go further like everyone else in this shit world. Please treat us like human beings while you order something. We work just like you, we are not monkeys damnit
stay strong brother! get your CDL (Commercial Driver's license) check my page I have a video on how I got mine for free and possibly you'd be able to qualify to get it free too, it's a decent career with the possibility of earning 70K-100K in your first two years driving with only 1-2 months time of schooling. name another career that takes such a short time paying this well?
Working fast foods and retail was an invaluable building block for my career. You never stopped taking the opportunity you have for granted, you treat people across social and organization hierarchy the same, never to lose your cool, and you start all interactions with kindness and decency.
@@LeoGarcia2.0 lmao I loved working at McDonald's back in the day. Before it was 24/7 we would be open until 3am on the weekends and I always loved working that shift all the drunks coming through, taking hits from bongs through the drive thru. The owner was super chill and would let the graveyard crew get free meals with no exceptions.
Exactly, i always make sure to great the cleaners where i work every morning. You'd be amazed how many blue collar people ignore them. Not me tho, i sure as hell know where i came from. To all the low wagies, i see you and have a great day!
Exactly this. If I didn't start here, I wouldn't be the same person and as advanced in my career. It truly does help! I'm 29, earn $120k, fully remote. I greet everyone, say thank you, and if the janitor is wiping the sinks, I wipe the sink I use. They are always appreciative! Treat others like how you'd like to be treated. Working with people with my income, I sometimes humble them since they never worked blue collar work. I don't care, you give respect.
Every person, regardless of his financial situation, should work such a job, as it gives you a perspective and an understanding of the working class. It puts you in their shoes and allows you to empathize with them, and develop deep respect for these people.
@@RighteousnessWillPrevail when you have to pay rent at the end of the month, the last thing you're going to care about is if your "righteous morals" conflict with your jobs requirements.
@@mrichar9 I dont meant to disagree but you are referring to hard skills in a job market context. Fast food requires soft skills. Things like patients and work ethic are examples. Most of the fast food workers have to work as a team to get orders out in a timely manner. Those soft skills can be converted into any career. Law enforcement, military and even government.
Man, I never had a job like this but I'll always respect this honorable job. People need to understand that they can't all be lawyers, doctors or programmers. World goes around because of these people!
Nothing honorable about the job. I worked there and I can say that. Honorable jobs are the kind of jobs that contribute to society in a meaningful way like doctors, garbage workers and policemen for example.
@@niroritCustomer service jobs are honorable, unless you want to live in a world where you can't get service anymore. Hopefully you never had to call anyone to get something done, gone to a fast food place, or shopped at a store recently otherwise you are a fucking hypocrite.
@@nirorit Listen I worked fast food and retail and I'm in corporate finance now, if you don't consider fast food "honorable" that's one thing. But it does in fact contribute to society. If it didn't, you wouldn't be getting your McDouble every time you pull up to the window
Worked at McWages at 18yrs old as a summer job before college. I've witnessed or lived everything that's portrayed + more (customers that accused me of stealing their money, which they took back from the desk while i was collecting their food; expired food served; tips being stolen by the managers; workers forced to quit while held at gunpoint by the store manager...) I got fired after one month because i wasn't shutting down the fryer alarm quickly enough during rush hour. 11 years later i'm an orthopedic surgeon, while the manager that fired me is still working the same job at that same restaurant. Guys struck in the rat race, keep grinding on yourselves and you'll get what you deserve 💪
Thats awesome but do realize that not everyone has the opportunity to do what you did. We'd all be better off if even lower wage jobs are respectable and a good place to work. The issue i see is management of these fast food places put profits above anything else and that tends to promote the worst kind of managers. Employees tend to look much more happy in local restaurants and smaller chains that tend to balance profits with other things
Worked there for 1.5 years and honestly this is spot on. But what I really miss is the sort of bonding you got with your coworkers there. Everyone has to deal with exactly all of whats shown in this video so you actually get along extremely well with most colleagues.
Yeah I can imagine. Whenever I went to my local MC Donald's the employees were joking and laughin a lot together. So it's very important t have a good companionship
I worked at Chick Fil A for a Year. From that experience, I learned to never work Fast Food again, and to always treat employees at Fast Food with respect every time.
That influencer one got me so hard dude. While I worked at Burger King, some absolute numbnuts walked in and had a hype man just like that. He wasn't filming or anything, but he acted like a total narcissist. He got upset that our keto option was basically anything without a bun and sauce. Then his hype man stayed at the counter for a second and started telling me that people just don't get him, he's just so much more advanced than us as we all have a lot to learn from him. He proceeded to film his friend for a vlog or something while he ate a grilled chicken with a piece of cheese on it. They seemed to act like they were from a different planet. I thought they were pranking me, but they never filmed anyone but themselves and never made a scene. Just so bizarre.
@@sadhu7191I gotta push back on that, as I’ve been binging N3on and sneakos streams lately. N3on might be INCREDIBLY ridiculous, but he is actually a good guy, or so it seems. He tips many people very well; Uber drivers, servers, etc. and seems respectful towards them for the most part when he isn’t trying to put on a wacko show for his chat
I worked in fast food for 3 years. Started from a simple crew member up to a general manager. It helped me gain a sense of realization of what all fast food employees struggle with dealing with the public and it also taught me to NEVER be impatient with fast food people or rude with them. Granted, I never have been due to social anxiety but once you're in their shoes, you gain a totally new perspective. I will never work fast food again if I don't have to. It truly humbles you.
I started to work in Burger King about 1.5 month ago. My general manager is 21, same age as me. I always treated workers with respect but this experience is a whole another level you know. People constantly send back criticism because the burger misses an onion or something while there is 6 different meals which has special requests that needs to be done. Do you have any tips ?
It teaches humility alright. I ended up in fast food after I lose my construction job of 10 months. I was only 19, the pay was nearly half of what it used to be in construction, so it really hurt my ego. I thought that work was below me in spite of my very poor work experience. Quickly learned to appreciate my experience in fast food, and that brought me a sense of fulfillment
10 min wait is the max acceptable time to wait also customers dont think about when its busy and still moan about the wait like can u not see theres loads of customers waiting for their food and loads of cars in the drive thru theres orders ahead of you we dont care if you only ordered one thing
Fast food is one place I will never go to. I'll sucl up to retail but not fast food. I couldn't deal with the pressure of handling food for customers. I already get to see it as a customer myself. I can not imagine being the employee!
Really like little details such as the inside differentiation of drive thru and restaurant, makes this more authentic. And to top it off, it has a wholesome ending lol
I worked McDonald's as my first job in high school. Nine years later I'm a journeyman plumber making a great living for myself and my family. This video just made me realize the social disconnect I've had with others and I see how subconsciously judgemental I am for no reason.
The most relatable thing is the drive thru in my opinion. If you're going through drive thru, know what you want and make your order relatively fast while making it as accurate as possible. The last thing we want is to have you ordering a meal for the entire bloodline, saying "ummm" for five seconds after every order, then a pile of cars stacking behind you because of how long it's taking. Not only is it better for you since you get your food faster, it's better for the employee, and the people behind you waiting.
Worst is they go can I have a Big Mac, can you make it a meal, a large one, like just say a meal ffs And when they take ages to pay or want to pay in lots of change like F off we’re getting moaned at for being slow coz they can’t use their card Or when they say they want a meal but never give you the drink and start listing over items, or when they pull up and start saying their order or keep saying hello coz it’s been 5 seconds like F off we’re busy Worse is when they want to add shit at the paying window Idk why customers have to be so fkn awkward and takes ages when ordering and paying like make up your damn mind
@@Nikanae9090yes obviously you can do this if you want But its just a tiny bit of curtesy and makes the entire process go smoother faster and its better for everyone involved if you know what you want before you get to the drive through
Damn. I’ve worked all my life as an IT analyst. I’ve moved out of my country and I’ve been working as a fast food employee for a year now. You showcased the exact experience that I have had since January of this year. On spot. It sucks, I’m just happy that I was never a customer like that before. And I’ll probably never be because of my experience. Fuck the customers.
@@marvin2678 likely because they moved to a different country. Some countries require special types of working visa/local degrees if you want to perform certain types of jobs, while there could be no or less limits to do other stuff.
It's SPOT ON not On Spot. Also, why leave your country to come to USA or another western place and be treated like shit? We really don't need anymore immigrants in USA. Too many people. Which country are u from bro?
I swear, this is like watching my own life 😂 “What size fries do you want?” “Yes” 😂😂 Edit: After working at McDonald’s for nearly 2 years, I’ve officially lost my faith in humanity
it's funny, i've done customer service my whole life, retail/food and tech support, and i can totally relate, but one exception is when i was driving an icecream truck. for some reason the experience and customer base is way different when you are the one that comes by with random icecream, and literally everyone is happy to see you. that was my favorite job ever, but impractical these days with the cost of gas.
Most people aren't really like that, but the ones who lack empathy the most are the ones who usually have to call customer service in the first place instead of figuring something out themselves
@@padarousou I imagine you also tend to get a bad selective (!) view of humanity because your interactions may generally be more negative, or alternatively not always but the bad ones just stick in memory. Obviously the people not having issues won't call at all and those being nice kinda mentally sink over down over the annoying encounters that are always like... higher in perception. If that makes sense. TL;DR: You remember/rant about the bad experiences more.
Tbh figuring something out yourself can take a long time. My mother always suggests calling customer service, and she’s a woman of mean understanding, but she always figures it out faster with the help of somebody else than i do. I don’t think calling for help is always a bad thing if you’re short on time.
thank you so much for making this video, I worked my late teens into early 20s in the food service / retail industry and could never explain what a truly miserable experience each and every day I worked was. This is so painfully accurate and this isn’t even an odd day, this is 2-3 times a week for some people.
My sister worked at McDonald's and my mom at Dunkin and Wendy's and watching them after their shift was a depressing experience. I've avoided fast food at all cost, grocery store ---> housekeeping ---> dog grooming was my trajectory. My sister had asked me with the housekeeping gig especially, what's the appeal of cleaning toilets? I said, beats dealing with ornery customers any day of the week.
@@ronnychristenjoyer6778 It was a retirement home too so sometimes the shit wasn't IN the toilet. Still a privilege compared to dealing with entitled monsters. I got a lot of "Are they paying you enough for this?" from the old folks. 😄
I can relate. I worked as night watch twice for a couple of customer service places. I would rather deal with peoples shit in a matter of 15 minutes as opposed to dealing with peoples shit for 8 straight hours.
@freshfalls Happy meal orders are actually terrible. "Hi can I have a happy meal" "Yes sir, what kind of happy meal?" "Just a happy meal and and apple juice and that'll be all" *Drives off* Then the dude gets to the window and complains I didn't get his order.
@@skyj2172many of us have chosen not to eat the poison and have no idea how the menu system works. Why would you expect us to have all the little answers and why do you care if the order is correct at min. wage

I worked in Mcwages as well for 4 months, and let me tell you... even if you dont want to you really start to hate on the customers, from the annoying overly loud teenagers inside the store to the karens the boomers and the obnoxious dude bros in their car in the drive thru. The reason you hate them is not because they are loud or annoying, its because without realizing it they slow you down during work. There is a lot of pressure to get things done quickly, even more so at the drive thru, and the last thing you want is a bunch of people who are not ready to order pulling up to the window : Me: Hello what can I get you. Customer: Uuuuuummmmmm.... hmmmmmmmmm? Like dude... there was a queue to get to the order window and you had to wait like 10 minutes and you still havent made up your mind???!!! That was a massive problem mostly because we were almost always understaffed meaning if you worked in the drive thru or at the front counter chances are your help was very much needed elsewhere as well. But over all it was ok, I had a 30 min break and a free meal to go with it and the overwhelming majority of the people that worked there were very good, honest and hardworking, including most of the managers who actually stuck up to the staff whenever we were in the right.
I worked there for a year and that part was so frustrating. So many regulars show up and have no idea whats on the menu when their ass is there every day
A loser who got bullied in school and needs to compensate for his small worm in his pants is still a higher form of life than a Fast Food Slave though.
I’ve been working 3 days at McDonald’s and my biggest complaint is the coworkers are literally the worst I’ve ever had in my life. All assholes who hate helping new hires with anything and the training is literally non existent, everyone just expects you to know wtf you’re doing, where everything is, when and where to put everything and god forbid you make a mistake. 3 days and they asked me to come in on my first day off to work 3-11pm when I work 8-4pm the next day. These people literally don’t give af about you at all, walk all over you just as much as the customers will if not more.
@@janelleg597 i know but fast food employees work HARD, for shitty $, and some assholes think its both funny and acceptable to mock them and treat them like dirt. In all honesty, I’d be far more embarrassed to be seen EATING at WageDonald’s than WORKING at WageDonalds. Working there shows you’re at least TRYING to make improvements in your life. Eating there proves you’ve given up all hope
NO they shouldn't, young people need to wake up and start their own businesses early. They need to realize they have voted these jobs into existence. So abuse is warranted, except when the elderly are driven back to minimum wage jobs because of inflation, again because of shitty voting decisions of other people.
Worked this exact job for 3 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more accurate representation of the suffering faced on a daily basis by fast food employees.
this is the reason why i cook my own crap and go to the grocery at 6am when noone else is there acting like they have never been over to a u-scan before or a cash register.
I am currently working at McDonald’s and i’ve only been here for 5 months and i’ve already seen someone get domestically abused and a crackhead running around in our restaurant ☠️ but the way people treat the employees in this video is very accurate and relatable.
My sister used to work at mcdonalds heres some shit she had to deal with A seagull that somehow got into the restaurant freaking out which nearly caused a stampede An approximately 14 year old collapsed in the women's toilets either on drink or drugs had to get an ambulance called she was ok even came back later to get her coat she left behind Someone stole the soap dispenser from one of the Restrooms like literally ripped it off the wall and stole it no idea who did it A woman about 18-22 I don't remember how old she was wanted to fight my sister probably influenced by drink or drugs my sister called the doorman to do something he refuses because said woman gives him hugs and he likes her I know cringe but there you go
I worked in a regular restaurant and I totally relate to some of this stuff. Most customers are okay from my experience, but it's that 3-5% of customers that make it a shitty day for you. Such situations happen rarely enough for you to have hope of continuing to be in the job, but often enough to make you hate it
As someone who worked drive thru and didn't ask to be put on drive thru in the past, this was pretty nice. This was a lot of our inner voices when dealing with rude customers like this on the daily.
The scenario missing here is the one that plays out daily in 'urban' communities where the hefty, agitated woman "of co-lor" physically attacks the fast food employee for not giving her enough ketchup or napkins.
I used to be one of those employees as a maintenance worker at a McDonald’s years ago. But now I am a dishwasher at an assisted living center now which is a much easier job.
Me too and I think that is the best position they offer. Sure we did the dirty work but not dealing with customers or food was bliss. As a introvert I also enjoyed never talking to coworkers 😂 Only negative was if somebody puked we had to clean it or when you're off and people just fuck the dumpster area up because they're too lazy to lift trash into the dumpsters so they just toss it on the ground sometimes making bags rip. I don't miss it at all
@@Openup0911 I rarely talked to my co workers either and one asshole manager that used to work there before I left told me to keep working if I talked to a co worker. He even tried to fire me one time if I don’t sing at the restaurant’s karaoke event they had to celebrate the new building’s grand opening. I dealt with like three customers while I was cleaning. So glad I’m out of there too.
I can relate I was a maintenance inventory guy myself but I also had to help out in the kitchen so I did a little of everything. Without us the place would fall apart quickly as I discovered all too often. Luckily I do something better for work with better pay at a different company now.
As a french person, I work in Burger King since 1 year. It's a small restaurant and it's not as horrible as other restaurant we can imagine. We have a crewmate very younger, also the director, so it's quite funny inside. I found my boyfriend there, also a really good friend. And i think the very difficult part is to do more than other crew that don't want work and hide in toilet
Yeah it really isn’t rocket science- just come to work with a halfway decent attitude and don’t get sucked in by the lazy/worthless employees. Put your head down and work… but people argue with me all the time that working hard will get you nowhere, apparently 🤷♂️. I beg to differ because it’s gotten me far in life- a willingness to learn and a strong work ethic. Doesn’t work at EVERY job, but it’s helped me my entire life.
I currently work at Pizza Place we'll call it "Wageno's" i got some horror stories, and some cool stories, and some... just awkward as hell stories. dumbest though... A lady ordered a 16pc Hotwings... went into her car, ate all but 4 of the wings, came back into the store and demanded a Remake, because they didnt taste right and there was "Too much Sauce" on the wings. I laughed in her face, legit laughed right at her. Manager came over, She laughed at her too, told her to get out.
@@harm991take what you need? , i have never met someone who has said “you know what I wanna work at McDonalds😊” the only reason people start working there is because they are always hiring because people are always quitting those jobs, that tells you all, its sad. And it’s even more sad returning to that place years after and seeing that all the people you worked with are still there…
It all comes down to the type of people living in the comunity in which the fast food place is located. Some comunities have more assholes than others. When I worked retail I was in a great comunity and had many good memories but then when I worked retail in a bad comunity doing the same jib I had many bad memories simply because the customers there were different, they were less polite and we even got robbed once.
I used to work at a plasma donation center, and the amount of stress and anxiety I got from that job was insane. Most days, I would want to hide in the bathroom and cry. People may think a job looks easy, but sometimes people really need to put themselves in other people's shoes and see their perspective. Always be kind and respectful to people, unless they really are asshole then by all means. In the end, a job is a job and should be respected.

bro iam 20 been at mcdoanlds foe 8 months and its run by all mexicans which i dont mind but they all yell at me and then customers add on to it and no iam not mexican
It is mental torture and it isn’t right. I recommend you surround yourself with beauty, truth and goodness. Christian faith really helps with this. There is a redemptive quality in your suffering. But also, you have to surround yourself with beauty and goodness, because ultimately you become what you surround yourself by. The way people are treating you is NOT right, you should seek sane people. And please start a business, at the very least you’ll be in charge of yourself, and I’m sure you know if you were in charge things would be run better. So just do it!!
Finally a story with a wholesome ending. Instead of Wojak just going "it is what it is," he instead takes action and takes matters into his own hands. Even if this is fictional, it's very true to real life. Things aren't gonna get better automatically, you need to act.
Yeah, stay in school or learn a trade. Atleast have a plan. There are enough jobs out there. But of course for some people the struggle is real and they have no other choice.
I just finished binging all the Low Budget/No Budget/Zero Budget/Lord Wojak episodes . I was wojak. Maybe worse, the ugly arrogant wojak. Now Im about to graduate college in a STEM field, with a gf who doesnt have an OF, and a brotherhood of close friends. I knew there was something up, a switch that hadnt been flipped correctly at that time, but I could have never guessed so many people experienced the same ride of loneliness, jealousy, and hopelessness. These videos are gold and a modern day classic. Nothing is permanent. God bless
Similar story. I was arrogant and ugly as well, rejected by girls I’d pursued for years. I’m a STEM grad student at an engineering school with a loyal, loving GF. Remember, nothing in life matters if it isn’t done in servitude and reliance on God, through Jesus Christ. Happy you’re doing well.
I used to work as a food delivery man, and while I was waiting for an order at a Mc to be prepared, an employee was respectfully telling for two customers to be patient and wait for their turn, but they got really angry and threatened to beat him up waiting for him after his shift get over. I felt really bad for him, but there was nothing I can do, cause these customers were really scary
The most affecting part was the look of sadness and subtle devastation when his phone notified him of the start time of his shift. Everything he has faced, and would need to face, washed over his soul in that moment.
I worked at the king in 1982 and it was EXACTLY like this. I only got four or five hours a a week. Barely covered my gas. Good thing is, it made me realize I needed a real job.
God this gave me depression for how relatable this was. Right out of high school, straight to working at MCDs for 2 years and those were the worst years of my life. And i was working mainly in the kitchen
@frankwalker3362 definitely. For the most part. I work in IT, I may get some odd client/customer encounters but it's surely 100000x better than what MCDs has thrown at me
I worked in customer service for 8 years and completely relate to this. However, employees should also remember that there are wonderful customers who show us respect and try to brighten our day. I've encountered situations where employees can be rude, and it's important to recognize that respect is mutual. We should appreciate and acknowledge those customers who make an effort to uplift us also.
As someone with a mother like Kevin's (literally threw a fit over one package of dressing not being enough for a side salad until she got it and remembered how small they actually are), I feel almost as bad for him as the employee. I definitely feel worse for the employee. Honestly, it took me years to actually point out legitimate mistakes in my order I so badly wanted to avoid being like that.
I go out of my way to be courteous to service workers because I know how much that job can suck. The worst part about service and retails jobs is the interactions with people; I used to think that most people were inherently good but working in both fast food and sales in the past taught me otherwise. Most people will seize on any amount of power over others that falls into their lap, and wont even realize that they're shitting on someone else while they're doing it.
I watched a fellow customer literally eat most of the fries in his container, then complain to the employee he cheated them by not giving them a full box of fries. Crazy customers.
I worked at McDonald's for 9 years, once had an elderly lady complain that she had an extra nugget in her 6 pack. So many ridiculous stories.

This is totally accurate. I worked at a Wendys for 3 years, age 16-19. I developed a deep hatred for customers during that time. To this day, now 46, I still think customers are the worst people.

I worked at McDonald’s when I was 16 years old. I remember my arm constantly getting burned by oil splashing from the grill. I told my supervisor about it and requested to work cashier/drive-thru. Then a 50 year old lady co worker rolled up her sleeve to me showing burn scars and telling me to stop being a baby. These establishments don’t care about you and you’re just a number to them.

When I was a student, I worked for 4 years at a Russian McDonald's, which was the largest in the city. My managers were good people who thought I was a good employee. I didn't have many problems with customers at the restaurant, but one day my colleague was hospitalized after being beaten by drunken assholes. But working at the drive thru was one of the most difficult moments and is most realistically shown in this video. It's been 4 years since I quit there. I have a good job, but I still have night dreams where I work at McDonald's, and people scream at me from everywhere.
By Russian McDonald’s do you mean the one in Moscow? If so, I actually went to that one when it first opened in the early 90s. It was such a trip. We haven’t seen anything like that growing up in the communist Soviet Union.
Well, the good news is that there aren't any Russian McDonald's anymore. Though working the drive thru must have been... interesting.
@@wolfbyte3171 that’s true, they have something very similar to McDonald’s with similar menu except that they named it something else. I can’t think of a name.
But when I went to the very first one that ever opened in Soviet Union back in 1990-1991 (not sure the exact year) the line was about 6 blocks around the building. My mom brought me there, I was a kid. At the time there was no drive through.
I am not sure if they added drive through later or not.
@wolfbyte3171 "Vkusno i tochka" exists. It's Russian McDonald's after rebranding.
I stopped when I saw the word Russian - I guess you had bigger issues than work at McDonnalds while living in Russia lol.

I’m really not trying to judge or be rude, but why would you stay in fast food for that long??

I remembered working at McDonald's 10 years ago and this is really spot on. You had a customer complaining about some minor bullshit and people literally asking for stupid stuff. One time I saw a customer actually threw a fries to one of the staff because it looked like there weren't enough. You have some immature customers coming in from time to time. Few days are good and majority of the days can be a real pain. I once saw a customer who refused to pay and something similar happened to one of the girl that worked at McDonald's. She literally had a drink thrown at her.

I always try to be nice with these fast food employees because man, the amount of people who show zero respect towards them and make them feel like shit is insane. Nobody should be put down because of their job. Courage to all the fast food employees. You are better than all these people.
Over the top is also kind of soul crushing. It's horrible to know you're being pitied. Just be normal.
90% of the time I agree with this idea. Tbh I have low expectations of get my order basically right and don’t be actively rude for anyone in these jobs. Having said that some people do have especially rude attitudes which you do have a right to get a bit annoyed by, you are getting paid at the end of the day…
You should hold this job maybe for a few months before realizing its toxic and you have to either get a better one (Not hard) or start your own. These places are serving poison food to the public. Why should those who represent them get any respect?
your life aint much better if u eat that garbage
"Try to be nice"? I mean how else would you treat them? There is only kindness when dealing with people
Please for the love of god, don’t treat fast food employees like trash.
Yes, they work really hard to make tasty meals for their customers, and they get paid a low amount of money, i never worked a fast food job, but i understand what they are going through

I'm Japanese, and I just came across this video. I went to the us for the first time when I was 23. I coulnd't speak a lick of English at that time. About 6 months into my life in the us, one day, I went to the drive thru at Mc Donalds. I spoke to the speaker and said "can I have a cheese burger", and a female worker over the speaker just laughed at my English so hard. "HAHAHAHAHA!!! HEY COME OVER HERE!! THIS GUY IS FUNNY!!!" and a male worker took over and asked me "what can I get for ya?" and I said the same thing, and he was like "pshhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!" I was not just angry, but beyond angry, and you know, when you have a negative emotion that is just beyond anger, you just become sad --- in my case, sad about my own bad English? sad about their lack of respect? I don't know. But I just took off without getting anything and went straight back to my house and into my bed and I just cried and cried and cried sooooo hard. I couldn't even order a burger. My English was so bad. I thought I was helpless and just meaningless and I wondered why I am here and I even questioned why am I alive. I didn't see any meaning and value in myself. This experience created a huge scar in my heart for the next 3 months. I thought about going back to Japan. I wanted to run away. But then I realized that if I don't change myself, I will be the same anywhere in the world even in my own country. I will continue to run away from any problems I face. I wanted to change myself. So, instead of running away, I decided to learn English and wanted to achieve perfect fluency like a native speaker. Basically, this experience at McDonalds didn't give me a reason to run away but did give me a motivation to overcome my weakness and became the catalyst for me to be able to push to the limit to master the language (I know I still haven't achieve that fluency yet). So,, had it not been for their mockery toward my English, I wouldn't have been here in my English journey. I don't know who they are who laughed at me back then, but you are one of those people who I appreciate and will appreciate the most for the rest of my life.
I’m so sorry :(( that was mean. They were probably just insanely stressed and you were an easy target. Guarantee they’re the same people who go to Japan without speaking a lick of it and expecting everyone to cater to them.

Thats awesome but do realize that not everyone has the opportunity to do what you did. We'd all be better off if even lower wage jobs are respectable and a good place to work. The issue i see is management of these fast food places put profits above anything else and that tends to promote the worst kind of managers. Employees tend to look much more happy in local restaurants and smaller chains that tend to balance profits with other things

I worked in fast food for 3 years. Started from a simple crew member up to a general manager. It helped me gain a sense of realization of what all fast food employees struggle with dealing with the public and it also taught me to NEVER be impatient with fast food people or rude with them. Granted, I never have been due to social anxiety but once you're in their shoes, you gain a totally new perspective. I will never work fast food again if I don't have to. It truly humbles you.
You were a general manager despite social anxiety? You're a boss
I started to work in Burger King about 1.5 month ago. My general manager is 21, same age as me. I always treated workers with respect but this experience is a whole another level you know. People constantly send back criticism because the burger misses an onion or something while there is 6 different meals which has special requests that needs to be done. Do you have any tips ?
It teaches humility alright. I ended up in fast food after I lose my construction job of 10 months. I was only 19, the pay was nearly half of what it used to be in construction, so it really hurt my ego. I thought that work was below me in spite of my very poor work experience. Quickly learned to appreciate my experience in fast food, and that brought me a sense of fulfillment

The most relatable thing is the drive thru in my opinion. If you're going through drive thru, know what you want and make your order relatively fast while making it as accurate as possible. The last thing we want is to have you ordering a meal for the entire bloodline, saying "ummm" for five seconds after every order, then a pile of cars stacking behind you because of how long it's taking. Not only is it better for you since you get your food faster, it's better for the employee, and the people behind you waiting.
Worst is they go can I have a Big Mac, can you make it a meal, a large one, like just say a meal ffs
And when they take ages to pay or want to pay in lots of change like F off we’re getting moaned at for being slow coz they can’t use their card
Or when they say they want a meal but never give you the drink and start listing over items, or when they pull up and start saying their order or keep saying hello coz it’s been 5 seconds like F off we’re busy
Worse is when they want to add shit at the paying window
Idk why customers have to be so fkn awkward and takes ages when ordering and paying like make up your damn mind

I worked in Mcwages as well for 4 months, and let me tell you... even if you dont want to you really start to hate on the customers, from the annoying overly loud teenagers inside the store to the karens the boomers and the obnoxious dude bros in their car in the drive thru. The reason you hate them is not because they are loud or annoying, its because without realizing it they slow you down during work. There is a lot of pressure to get things done quickly, even more so at the drive thru, and the last thing you want is a bunch of people who are not ready to order pulling up to the window :
Me: Hello what can I get you.
Customer: Uuuuuummmmmm.... hmmmmmmmmm?
Like dude... there was a queue to get to the order window and you had to wait like 10 minutes and you still havent made up your mind???!!!
That was a massive problem mostly because we were almost always understaffed meaning if you worked in the drive thru or at the front counter chances are your help was very much needed elsewhere as well.
But over all it was ok, I had a 30 min break and a free meal to go with it and the overwhelming majority of the people that worked there were very good, honest and hardworking, including most of the managers who actually stuck up to the staff whenever we were in the right.

I used to be one of those employees as a maintenance worker at a McDonald’s years ago. But now I am a dishwasher at an assisted living center now which is a much easier job.
Me too and I think that is the best position they offer. Sure we did the dirty work but not dealing with customers or food was bliss. As a introvert I also enjoyed never talking to coworkers 😂 Only negative was if somebody puked we had to clean it or when you're off and people just fuck the dumpster area up because they're too lazy to lift trash into the dumpsters so they just toss it on the ground sometimes making bags rip. I don't miss it at all
@@Openup0911 I rarely talked to my co workers either and one asshole manager that used to work there before I left told me to keep working if I talked to a co worker. He even tried to fire me one time if I don’t sing at the restaurant’s karaoke event they had to celebrate the new building’s grand opening. I dealt with like three customers while I was cleaning. So glad I’m out of there too.
I found my introvert people let's be friends!
I can relate I was a maintenance inventory guy myself but I also had to help out in the kitchen so I did a little of everything. Without us the place would fall apart quickly as I discovered all too often. Luckily I do something better for work with better pay at a different company now.
Does it pay you more than your previous job?
As a french person, I work in Burger King since 1 year. It's a small restaurant and it's not as horrible as other restaurant we can imagine. We have a crewmate very younger, also the director, so it's quite funny inside. I found my boyfriend there, also a really good friend. And i think the very difficult part is to do more than other crew that don't want work and hide in toilet
Yeah it really isn’t rocket science- just come to work with a halfway decent attitude and don’t get sucked in by the lazy/worthless employees. Put your head down and work… but people argue with me all the time that working hard will get you nowhere, apparently 🤷♂️. I beg to differ because it’s gotten me far in life- a willingness to learn and a strong work ethic. Doesn’t work at EVERY job, but it’s helped me my entire life.
I worked in burger king for a year and I could say that its actually nice, and awfull and everything together haha 💀
I worked at a Burger King recently it was funny inside. We told so many sexist and racist jokes, but I’m not down being a slave
Lovestory 😂
@@joshuabaird9405how old ar you Bro
I currently work at Pizza Place we'll call it "Wageno's"
i got some horror stories, and some cool stories, and some... just awkward as hell stories.
dumbest though... A lady ordered a 16pc Hotwings... went into her car, ate all but 4 of the wings, came back into the store and demanded a Remake, because they didnt taste right and there was "Too much Sauce" on the wings.
I laughed in her face, legit laughed right at her. Manager came over, She laughed at her too, told her to get out.
No matter what is gonna happen to me, i will absolutely NEVER have a job at a fast food chain
You're right. You're not born to do this shit.
You sometimes take what you need
@@harm991take what you need? , i have never met someone who has said “you know what I wanna work at McDonalds😊” the only reason people start working there is because they are always hiring because people are always quitting those jobs, that tells you all, its sad. And it’s even more sad returning to that place years after and seeing that all the people you worked with are still there…
id rather join the military and shit on by some sergeant than work at mcdonalds
It all comes down to the type of people living in the comunity in which the fast food place is located. Some comunities have more assholes than others. When I worked retail I was in a great comunity and had many good memories but then when I worked retail in a bad comunity doing the same jib I had many bad memories simply because the customers there were different, they were less polite and we even got robbed once.
I used to work at a plasma donation center, and the amount of stress and anxiety I got from that job was insane. Most days, I would want to hide in the bathroom and cry. People may think a job looks easy, but sometimes people really need to put themselves in other people's shoes and see their perspective. Always be kind and respectful to people, unless they really are asshole then by all means. In the end, a job is a job and should be respected.
How was the pay?
Troof
Fast food employees are the unsung heroes of today's society.
how so? Are they to be the leaders of tomorrow? Leading us where?
@@togowack Heroes of today's society.......Not the leaders of tomorrow.They have the patience to put up with all of us on a regular basis for minimal pay but now That's changing their pay should be going up.$20.00 in California.I see all of those videos of fast food workers getting trashed on.The ones I happen to notice tho are the really polite ones.The ones that work with you to fix a problem.
@@Emperorofthebleedingroses2405In the military they will do similar things endeavouring to see who wakes up first and stands up to the drill sergeant. That person is often made squad leader. They are looking to see who wakes up first mentally. Who when pushed will push back. We have no use for slaves in the free world. We require a fighting citizenry. Sooner or later the young people will discover their voting rights and ability to stand up to companies but we are not there yet. You should be trashed on for serving trash food to people. Why are you expecting anything good to come from this toxic industry and job where someone else does your thinking.
@padarousou no kids are on the weekends and evening shift for the weekdays. And yes a lot of us have patience like you wouldn't believe.
Huh.......Okay 👍 your absolutely right.
My first job was fast food at 16. It taught me good work ethics.
I always try to be super helpful and polite to any waitress and stuff and give a good amount of pourboire no matter the cost of the order. You guys are INCREDIBLE and you deserve a lot of respect!!
I worked at McDonald’s at 15. It was awful. Was sexually harassed at the drive-thru by a gay couple. Kept messing up orders. Didn’t last 48 hours
oh sorry for you hope you moved past it
Yeah that's kinda what they do. I'm so sorry to hear that, it's one of the reasons I would never let my kids near them
@@bogosbinted1Not all lgbtq people are predators, that’s a messed up generalization.
Same. It was shit. If I ever have kids, I am going to try my hardest to line decent part-time jobs up for them as teenagers that they can actually get good experience from.
Sexually harnessed? Lmao
this is exactly what i had to deal with today and i’m afraid i’ve been doing this for a while now, im at my lowest point mentally and this is precisely what happened at my mcdonald’s today, the shitty manager, the karen, the stoner kids, im stuck in this low income job and it’s torture. It’s hell no one understands, Today i got yelled at because i forgot to put sauce in the bag
bro iam 20 been at mcdoanlds foe 8 months and its run by all mexicans which i dont mind but they all yell at me and then customers add on to it and no iam not mexican
@@kj_usa2987quit that shit, become a warehouse slave instead.
Hope you guys can at least get a break of it this weekend. Have a Nice day today 🙏🏽
It is mental torture and it isn’t right. I recommend you surround yourself with beauty, truth and goodness. Christian faith really helps with this. There is a redemptive quality in your suffering. But also, you have to surround yourself with beauty and goodness, because ultimately you become what you surround yourself by. The way people are treating you is NOT right, you should seek sane people. And please start a business, at the very least you’ll be in charge of yourself, and I’m sure you know if you were in charge things would be run better. So just do it!!
Really study hard so you're not there for life
This isn't just directed to fast food jobs, any customer service job...whether it's restaurant, call centers, retail or fast food, is literal hell....
Finally a story with a wholesome ending. Instead of Wojak just going "it is what it is," he instead takes action and takes matters into his own hands. Even if this is fictional, it's very true to real life. Things aren't gonna get better automatically, you need to act.
Not my truth
@@firstlast8258 Then what is your truth?
Yea and it actually ended with him not feeling like complete shit afterwards.. I want more of these happier endings with wojak
Yeah, stay in school or learn a trade. Atleast have a plan. There are enough jobs out there. But of course for some people the struggle is real and they have no other choice.
I just finished binging all the Low Budget/No Budget/Zero Budget/Lord Wojak episodes . I was wojak. Maybe worse, the ugly arrogant wojak. Now Im about to graduate college in a STEM field, with a gf who doesnt have an OF, and a brotherhood of close friends. I knew there was something up, a switch that hadnt been flipped correctly at that time, but I could have never guessed so many people experienced the same ride of loneliness, jealousy, and hopelessness. These videos are gold and a modern day classic. Nothing is permanent. God bless
You've won in life.
Okay, but why though
Similar story. I was arrogant and ugly as well, rejected by girls I’d pursued for years. I’m a STEM grad student at an engineering school with a loyal, loving GF. Remember, nothing in life matters if it isn’t done in servitude and reliance on God, through Jesus Christ. Happy you’re doing well.
@@SalvationIsInChristAlone How are you so sure she's loyal?
Is that really the apex of your existence? Have fun lol
I used to work as a food delivery man, and while I was waiting for an order at a Mc to be prepared, an employee was respectfully telling for two customers to be patient and wait for their turn, but they got really angry and threatened to beat him up waiting for him after his shift get over. I felt really bad for him, but there was nothing I can do, cause these customers were really scary
I love how the employees in the background are drained from emotions there, just walking zombies so funny 😂😂
The most affecting part was the look of sadness and subtle devastation when his phone notified him of the start time of his shift. Everything he has faced, and would need to face, washed over his soul in that moment.
I worked at the king in 1982 and it was EXACTLY like this. I only got four or five hours a a week. Barely covered my gas. Good thing is, it made me realize I needed a real job.
God this gave me depression for how relatable this was. Right out of high school, straight to working at MCDs for 2 years and those were the worst years of my life. And i was working mainly in the kitchen
Fast food workers are built different. Id rather be dead than work at a fast food chain.
Srry to hear that bruh. I hope you are now better situated.
@frankwalker3362 definitely. For the most part. I work in IT, I may get some odd client/customer encounters but it's surely 100000x better than what MCDs has thrown at me
Why was it so bad?
I worked in customer service for 8 years and completely relate to this. However, employees should also remember that there are wonderful customers who show us respect and try to brighten our day. I've encountered situations where employees can be rude, and it's important to recognize that respect is mutual. We should appreciate and acknowledge those customers who make an effort to uplift us also.
stop this is so relatable. im actually gonna cry
As someone with a mother like Kevin's (literally threw a fit over one package of dressing not being enough for a side salad until she got it and remembered how small they actually are), I feel almost as bad for him as the employee. I definitely feel worse for the employee.
Honestly, it took me years to actually point out legitimate mistakes in my order I so badly wanted to avoid being like that.
I go out of my way to be courteous to service workers because I know how much that job can suck. The worst part about service and retails jobs is the interactions with people; I used to think that most people were inherently good but working in both fast food and sales in the past taught me otherwise. Most people will seize on any amount of power over others that falls into their lap, and wont even realize that they're shitting on someone else while they're doing it.
Exactly that. People that hate their lives will take any chance they can to step on someone “below” them, given the opportunity.
I watched a fellow customer literally eat most of the fries in his container, then complain to the employee he cheated them by not giving them a full box of fries. Crazy customers.
