8 Truths Fast Food Workers Know Too Well

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
