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.
