    I’ve never worked fast food. But a piece of advice for new adults looking for work. The difficulty of a job does not correspond to your pay. My first job was 12 an hour and I thought it paid so little because it was relatively easy. But since I’ve had jobs for 15-17+ that are significantly easier and more enjoyable. Like don’t settle for low paying jobs as your first because you think it will be an easy entry into working. Genuinely there isn’t always a massive gulf in difficulty between 12-17 dollars an hour. It’s just specific to that company, what it makes, and what they are willing to pay. Take your time and find something that pays well, that you enjoy to some extent, or something you could sustain in the long term.
    My brother has a saying, find a job you can get excited about for the money, or excited about for the work you do. Don’t settle for anything in that in between.

      I'll cosign for your brother...I've had numerous jobs in numerous fields...I always ended up feeling bored, not needed, or any other negative thought or feeling. 2 years ago I took a major career change..I looked towards the maritime industry sector, more specifically a naval contractor. I perform work on US naval warships that are currently in drydock. Now the scope of work can vary, but the knowledge is what I pursue.
      Look, is dont get paid much...I make $21 an hour, i work my full 40, i get OT when needed, 11 paid federal holidays, 56 hours sick time at the start of the year, and occasionally I get the privilege and opportunity to travel for work ( national and international ). The best thing in my mind, is that everyday feels new, my work is actually making a contribution, I feel valued, the depth of the knowledge pool is deep.
      Find something that resonates with your soul, then it's not a job.

    I did a construction job for one day while working at a temp agency. That day was the worst job day I ever experienced. There were 3 bosses and one of them had the biggest power trip you’ve ever seen. Im talking about whistling at me like a dog to get my attention, questioning what Im doing when another boss allowed me to grab a drink from my car. Absolutely rude demeanor in general. Its that job that makes me appreciate my current job even though its in retail.

    Working at a fast food restaurant for a year mentally broke me. The work itself was easy but the constant insults by rude boomers and the toxic crew trying to shift the blame on each other when shit hit the fan. I learned that society is disgusting and evil with zero respect or kindness when I worked there. I was a cashier but if a cook made the order wrong id get verbally abused by strangers every single day. I felt like I lost my dignity and self respect.

    This is a pretty interesting perspective you shared and I am glad to have heard it, we should certainly recognize the skill that it takes to work in fast food and show these people some respect, because you're right, they could just be bums sitting at home doing nothing.
    But tbh I liked my time at Walmart, I think its just because I had this one coworker who was really diligent and he motived me to be the same. When we would work together, the work would be completed so fast that a good part of our shift would be spent playing uno online lol.

    Lets gooo we got McDonalds lore. Working in fast food is really not bad at all, I've been working at Dominos as a delivery driver for 4 years now on and off. I've been to many different stores across two states and they're all different, some definitely better than others in terms of money and personnel. But you really feel for the workers at other restaurants and such when you've experienced it yourself on the other side. I'd say Dominos is a pretty good deal if you have a car you don't care about much and like getting tips, it pays really well if the store you work at is in a rich area. I'm gonna have a video talking about some of my craziest Dominos experiences soon and I'm excited to talk about it haha, great video bro!

    Theres no reason to ever shame anyone who works at a fast food restaurant. You never know who they might become. Also for me if all goes bad, I’ll just go back to door to door sales. I could sell either solar or sell new roofing, but as of now I took time off so I can really build my own business, and sports betting. I know it’s a super unorthodox way to make money but I’ve been able to turn just $100 into 5 thousand in an about a month. I follow a certain strategy and if it continues to go this well I’m honestly just sticking to this and my own business. I really love the fact that I can make money on my phone and not answer to anyone. I don’t even care about being rich right now I just want to make money on my own terms.

    I used to work for fast food restaurants in my teens into my early 20s. Do the grunt work then, because it pays off when you get older and may have some "bumps" along the road (i.e. early retirement, sickness, family, etc.). Once in a while, you will get great offers of better work and/or employer want to promote you after working for them for years.

    With that being said, I'm always extra nice to people working fast food because I couldn't do it. And your job should mean something to you, like find something you enjoy doing, because most of your time will be spent there. For me, that's just not cooking.

    working at fast food isnt the problem, it's the pay. You cannot afford to pay the rent on minimum wage or near minimum wage in this day and age when a dozen eggs cost 6 dollars at Aldi and when places like Walmart are only paying 14 an hour in michigan which is poverty level, and these places don't want to give you full time because that means they have to give you paid time off, benefits, health insurance and other stuff. I would love to work at fast food but you can't live off these jobs like you use to back in the days

One time some woman left without her card like she didn’t wait for me to give it back she just got her food and drove off. The next day she tried to blame me saying i didn’t give her the card back. My manager even said i was in the right but it doesn’t matter because “the customer is always right.” There is no skill bro you just have to have ADHD like me. If you need the job for the time you should do it but even the assistant manager told me it was not worth it. 😅😅

And appreciation from a family member isn't enough for me to go sell over 160 hours of my time per month, for the ~18 months the business' revenue was lower than the expenses (all of the expenses were my money). I used that time to get in shape and learn web development to the level of an amateur. Even if I just exercised without getting any skill, it would still be so much better than the pay from an entry level job, where I'd be forced to lose my health, and have no time for myself left. Also, I'm extremely introverted, during the mandatory army service, I was suffering the entire time because I had to be with people 24/7, and I actually managed to legally leave early, which is not that easy in my country. So I knew that for me, a job is out of the question. I went to uni for 5 months to chill + figure out what I was going to do (I knew uni/job wasn't an option for ME)(uni in my country is cheap), and I found the business idea which perfectly works for me, genuinely 10/10.
      So yeah, why would someone like me work for a shit wage? My dad/uncle don't seem to realize that this is infinitely better than working for slightly above minimum wage and investing some of it into sp500, but losing my soul, even if CURRENTLY my bank balance + investing portfolio value combined is lower than it could've been if I'd been getting paychecks. That won't even be the case in around 3-5 years, because business income increases the more you work on the business, UNLIKE A JOB. Also I have a ton of free time to further improve my health and webdev skills, WHICH I AM DOING.

We had a huge paradigm shift since 2007-ish, as this was the year when tech-releated stuff started to boom, while trades and food industry became the jobs "stupid people" do, and the general consciousness is that we have to look down on people in this sphere. Nerds back then were the underdogs, and now they are the ones who are the higher ups, who think the world needs more white collars, crappy gadgets, smarphone apps, and codemonkeys. The world does not need more meme STEM degrees, and yes the world DOES need more burger flippers, farmers, and tradesmen.
