8 Truths Fast Food Workers Know Too Well
John Whye

1. If it isn't on the menu, we probably don't serve it.

Stop asking for milkshakes and burgers while you're at a chicken place.

2. Your food is not going to be ready in 5 seconds.

It may be fast food, but give me a little bit more time to get your order ready. I can't read your mind and have it ready when you walk through the door.

3. Don't sit in the drive thru for 5 minutes trying to figure out what you want and create a 10 car line behind you in the process.

These are the people that make fast food..how do I put this.. NOT FAST!


4. Please, do not tell me you need to add more to your order when I hand you your food and it's in the middle of rush hour.

You are also making fast food, NOT FAST! But sure, I'll add three more items to your order at the window so the food packer has even more work to do.

5. Don't stereotype me as someone who isn't doing anything with my life.

I just need the money. Times are hard, but at least I am working.

6. I am polite and I smile, so why are you being so rude?

I'm sorry you are having a rough day, but you don't have to make mine rough too. Just smile and be nice.

7. If there is something wrong with your food, why did you eat 3/4ths of it before telling me?

I will never understand this one. Oh, so your food was cold? Was that before or after you ate most of it?

8. When you come through the drive-thru 3 minutes before we close, do not expect us to make fresh everything.

This makes me laugh every time. Yes, I will give you hot food, but please don't expect your meal to be hand made from scratch right before we close.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
