4 Reasons Working In A Fast Food Place Can Be Pretty Terrible

Fast food isn't the best job, but hey, it's money!

There's nothing wrong with working in fast food—go get that money! It isn't always the most exciting place to be, though. Here are four things that are awful about working in fast food, even though they're necessary:

1. Random rushes

I don't know why or how everybody knows to come at exactly the same time, but they do. Maybe everyone just has some telepathic abilities I haven't gained yet. It can be dead for 30 minutes, and out of nowhere about 50 billion people show up (at least that's what it feels like).

2. Dysfunctional coworkers

There's nothing worse than needing a side of fries, and the person next to the fries is too lazy to get them. I know, I know everyone slacks off every once in a while —I'm guilty, too—but I'm ready to throw hands when everyone is just sitting around.

3. When there's no customer in sight for a hot minute

Yeah, getting time to relax is nice, but there's only so much standing and staring off into space I can handle before I'm ready to hit my head against the wall. Whenever it's dead, the time drags by so slowly, and the whole day feels like years have gone by.

4. When customers wait five minutes until closing to come in

Now you had all day to come in here, why wait until the last 5 minutes? I know you see the broom and these sad faces dying to leave. It's honestly the worst, but I can't say I haven't done this...so I guess I get it.

Working in fast food isn't the best, but hey, it's money! Plus, it can be kinda fun sometimes.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
