What I Learned From 4 Years Working at McDonald's

[whknorth]

donuts are good but i cant justify spending money on them.

I work at McDonald's 5 years and every job I have had since than has been a breeze. I look at the time and say my shift is over already. People really don't understand the struggles of working at McDonald's. Working fast pace, dealing with customer who look down on yu, taking orders from a person younger than me who doesn't kno half the shyt I kno.

It wasn't just at work just the stigma of being a McDonald's worker made people look at me funny and I hated it because I'm a smart intellectual person, I'm a senior in college, I've accomplished a lot in my life but people just looked at me as the McDonald worker

One thing I hated about some of the customers were the ones who would tell me to smile. Like bytch I been on my feet all day, cleaned the dining area, the bathrooms, the parking lot, took out all the trash, changed all the bags for the soda machine, and I just got cussed out by a 50 year old because we didn't put a handful of onions when he said he wanted extra on his whopper, u really think Ima fukking smile after doing all of this shyt and I only make $7.50 an hour for doing it? fukk YOU

How's working call centers? I heard it was frustrating & hilarious. The rage customers would have towards you, just because your doing your job is hilarious.

I worked for Comcast which had its perks like free cable, free gym in the facility, tons of discounts from other companies when you're an employee (cell phone bills, car dealerships), and 80% of your coworkers are dimes or at the least fukkable. The only thing that sucks is the pissed off customers. It really ain't bad at all. You just gotta remember that 99% of the people calling u aren't calling to tell u what a great job you're doing. They will be pissed and u just gotta eat that The angriest customers are white women. The courage they have knowing they're behind a phone and u can't physically smack the shyt out of them is fukking outstanding knowing damn well they wouldn't speak to u like that in person. If it werent so far from where I lived, I would of stuck around a lot longer

I didn't think I was being overly negative, but whatever...I'm not oblivious to the sentiment she is trying to make.

Article just read like she came to some earth-shaking epiphany. Like they just came to the realization that, "oh people who work at McDonald's are human too."

I'm not too fond of self-congratulating narratives that teenagers and people the world over should have concluded decades ago.

Now she can go back and fight the good fight when her middle to upper middle class friends make sarcastic quips when ordering a big Mac.

I get it...

They just let anyone publish articles these days.

Maybe she did, I mean people are quite removed from things now a days. Especially with the way that we treat one another. But nonetheless it's still a good reminder, and I think people need these kind of reminders.

And I didn't see it as a self-congratulating narrative, if anything she made herself seem ignorant and removed from reality, from a reality that is difficult to perceive unless you've been in that position before or have had someone else speak to you about it or have read in an article. I never gave it the thought because it never appeared on my radar, so I don't think that it's something obvious that people all over the world would have concluded decades ago.

Plus she gave props to hard working people.

You obviously don't, that's why negativity incites your words. You should leave it out. And allow someone to give props, which is the overall idea of the message.

This is not post-Edwardian England...hell it's not even 1960's Middle America. The world, especially white Americans are interconnected. If someone isn't aware of the plight of what the poor and/or disenfranchised in this country go through on a day to day basis in what's regarded as a dead end job, it's because they don't want to know.

I just didn't think it warranted an article. I've seen this article, I've seen this book, I've seen this movie dozens of times already.

Props would be, these people work a lot harder and are a lot more dedicated let's pay them more than $7.25 an hour.

Maybe I expect too much from people.

I took the article a different way, it made me realized I overlooked something in the life of the underprivileged.

Starbucks and McDonald's pay about the same, but Jerome would probably have a heard time getting a job at Starbucks.

Try construction if you want something to make every job really feel like a cakewalk

Man, try moving furniture and washing dishes breh.

I'll buy this. I thought Starbucks Batista's made more than that.

It might be a $1.50 difference cause McDonald's will always be the lowest paying. But lets compare someone working at KFC verus Boston Market.

The schedule is 12 days on and 1 day off. 12 hours a day.

The time I did it was for 6 months. Ive even did it with night shift.

You did a schedule like that before?

Bigger cock contest

I've worked various jobs on every level

95% of people don't know what the fukk they're doing in any industry is my conclusion

Don't sell yourself short by settling for anything. Simply protect your rep (good rep) and you can do anything you want to coz most people are idiots and followers

I find this to be hilariously true in the work force. Real life too. But it's shameful how poor folks' self esteem is. Grown ass people.
