Working for any fast-food industry isn't exactly what you call an exceptional choice of career. However, if you're a full-time student in high school or college, fast-food companies are fairly likely to be willing to hire, and work with you around your schedule and hours of availability. It's a great first step into the working world. For a first job, it's fairly simplistic but it does involve necessary multi-tasking abilities. Oh, and a ton of patience. With coworkers sometimes, but mostly with the customer service aspect. Working fast-food will quickly portray what true patience really pertains when you have an upset customer on your hands. But here is exactly what the "losers" behind the counter truly want to say.
1. Why are you yelling?
I get that you're really frustrated that you had to turn all the way back around to come fix your order, but are you really not ashamed when there's around ten people in line right behind you as you call the lobby worker worthless simply because there were tomatoes on your taco? We will definitely fix your order, no arguing about that part. It would make the entire make-up process much more pleasant if you could try and speak to me as though I weren't the worst person to ever walk the planet.
2. We're not perfect
Mistakes happen. I understand it's really annoying when your order is incorrect; I can assure you not one worker intentionally wants to mess up your order. Please let us fix our mistakes (that we will always take responsibility for) so that we can both go back to our normal routines.
3.We don't make the rules; we follow them.
While a worker will probably never tell you this, we really don't like having to ask you five questions when all you even ordered was a simple burger. But when you have a manager that gives you these rules because their manager gives them rules, as the team member.. you have to play along and follow protocol.
4. I'm really uncomfortable touching your boob-sweat money.
When it's nearly 100 degrees outside, why would you think your bra is the best choice to put your cash? Even if it's not hot out, literally why there of all places? I'm now forced to use my bare hands and touch your sweaty money and not violently puke while doing so. Please.. stop.
5. I saw you get soda in your water cup.
You're lucky some workers are understanding and kind though, because that really is stealing and you could potentially get the cops called. You might want to quit while you're ahead because that would be extremely embarrassing to get in trouble for.
