If it's a mobile order I put inane requests and make them wait while I confirm my wishes were granted

opposite for me, whenever I'd go to Wendy's for a quick brekky the cashier and managers were both fat black ladies who were always very nice to me and would almost always get my food out quickly and hot. We ended up having little chats about nothing, and any time I had to wait she'd always give me a coupon for free stuff. This was right around the time they started doing breakfast, right after the lockdowns started I think. Then one day I never saw either of them again and they were replaced by one white girl and one tranny.

I hope they're ok.

You realize the person making your burger can hear you being a shit head, and if there's a bunch of custom stuff on the order they hate you already.

If you're not larping you regularly eat snot, spit, cum, and pubes. Who knows maybe they even get creative, and give you a couple pinches of the mystery mixture caught at the bottom of the wash sink

Uh, yeah. Plenty.
Imagine being an “odor tester” (yeah it’s a real job) at a women’s deodorant company.
Your literal full-time job would be smelling the armpits of the women testing the products, and reporting your analysis.
That would be so gross and weird and degrading haha.
And the 75th percentile is $101k, but the median is only $70k.
Imagine how awful it is to spend all day smelling women’s armpits and only average $70k for it haha.

Because Chick-Fil-A actually has some standards for employees. They typically hire half the high school near me, they actively refuse to hire adults which I think is the way it should be. If you are an adult, you shouldn't be fucking flipping burgers and they should cap the wages for those jobs at like, 6 USD/hr and tell minimum wage activists to fuck off. It's pocket money for teens who need job XP. You don't have a right to live by flipping burgers any more than a waiter does by bringing food they didn't actually cook for me.

I mean, the cream of the management crop isn't going to manage a fucking McDonalds. I learned that lesson working at a grocery store. The guy was making like 40K a year to manage the entire store and I was like, no wonder this guy is an asshole, he's a loser who can't manage to get a better management job anywhere else.

Fast food work isn't fun but in a lot of cases it isn't that bad either and all you do is hang out and hand people some burgers during a couple periods of increased traffic.

My dad told me never to work at a telecom call center, or any call center. It was better to be homeless becuase at least then you would have your mental health. He is a man who rarely cracks a joke.

Doesn't really matter to people. I worked there long enough to realise where else I wanted to be, I love RTA stuff. But working for an insurance company doing all aspects from FNOL to payouts, total loss offers and liasing with repairers and salvage was not worth the earache from dumbass peopel who literally didn't read contracts they are signing, don't know how to drive and constantly bitch when you tell them anything they don't want to hear.

Being nice is great for the 10% of people who genuinely are calling up to get something constructive done. The rest only call up when they aren't happy.

Why? Because I'm not a fucking faggot soyboy who just lays down and submits? Used to be that when you went out to a fast-food joint, you were not nickel and dimed for fucking everything.

That's why I don't use Doordash, Grubhub, or any of those delivery services. It's one more way for the place to fuck you in the ass with charges for everything from your sides, to the napkins, to the packaging. Some of these thieving cunts don't even try, they just put a 20% "COVID Fee" on there, as if a pandemic that is on the tail end is still a valid excuse to add a mystery line item because you are too much of a chickenshit to raise your prices or lower portion sizes. They do this at sit downs too. The ranch or extra dressing is a test. If they bring me the requested item without protest, the tip is given. If they write a line item, no tip, and I write why "Ranch/Extra sauce not provided free when requested. Learn how to do business you cheapskates."

You think I honestly give a flying fuck about the employee's supposed mental state while I berate them and possibly their manager for their ridiculous policy of charging extra for two more cups of ranch, after I ordered? You're delusional, it's a negotiation. I couldn't care less honestly, they can go work someplace else, or they can stop with the retarded antics and just give me the ranch/BBQ/whatever and I'll go away. But I'm not giving into these corporate assholes. I paid for their overpriced food and drinks they make 1000% profit on, the least they could do is give me some fucking free sauce.

I suppose. The number of times I had to pull the scanned contract out of the database and show people was astromically mindfuckingly absurd. And then, they would still argue, becuase they had nothing to lose.

I liked it when people got lawyers. The lawyers were cordial at least, and then the payout fucked them because they expected us to pay the lawyer's fee for an auto property damage claim. Nope, cut and dry, file a lawsuit.

The parts debate was always an issue. People with 20+ year old cars wanting OEM new like GM/Ford/Toyota was still doing that.

Rentals were always fun, especially if they went to a lazy shop who didn't keep the car moving through repairs, or stonewalled shit. Really liked it when you had a contractor with 30/900 and he required a truck for his job. Always fun.
