Current Events > fast food workers are some of the dumbest/don't give a shit people on the planet

(+) Yeah! (+)

On my way home haven't eaten anything since like 8 this morning so I say fuck it and pull into the BK drivethru.

I try to order a bbq bacon whopper, before I even get the words out of my mouth this lady just cuts me off and says "We don't have that!"

".......okay, you don't serve bacon and cheese whoppers anymore?"

"We can do a bacon and cheese whopper"

".........can you add bbq sauce to it?"

*awkward pause*

"I can give you some packets of bbq sauce"

*I drive off*

Now i have a fresh reminder of why I really don't ever go to those shit holes anymore. Gross food I can deal with. Gross food and shitty attitude from the biggest losers in society? yeah, no thanks

Burger King is the bottom of the barrel of fast food. I wouldn't generalize all fast food workers because whenever I go to lunch at an Einstein's or a Port of Subs or even Taco Bell I have great experiences. But Burger King is always a bad experience.

Nope, that's KFC/Taco Bell, attitudes and slow

Gee, I wonder why these people you're calling society's biggest losers are giving you attitude

Probably cause their life sucks and their shitty attitude is all but cementing them in their shitty pointless existence?

I served tables for years, I'm the easiest and most laid back customer you're gonna come across. But if you're gonna give me attitude over nothing you can go fuck yourself.
---

Considering the kinds of customers these workers have to deal with, I can understand some of the workers' "don't care" attitudes.
---

How was their attitude shitty? You ordered something that wasnt on the menu then demanded they make it for you regardless. You seriously cant add your own bbq sauce to a burger? Does mommy have to cut it into pieces for you too?
---

Only failures, old people and single mothers work low level fast food and retail
---

Yup one time I had a hungover and ordered a big Mac meal with a large coke (I really just wanted the coke) I get the order it's fucking ice tea.

I make another order for a Jr chicken and another coke, I get it and it's a diet coke...

I fucking flipped (I was already grouchy from the hangover) I sent a big complaint to the place and never ordered from there again. Idiots.

I don't eat KFC but I always have a good experience at Taco Bell. At best they're polite and helpful. At worst they're hilariously aware of how everyone that eats there past a certain time is high as hell. Surprisingly composed for people that have to wait 5 minutes for someone to decide on their choice of outershell they want for ingredients that are shared across all of the items on the menu.

fast food is hit or miss for me...sometimes they are useless wastes of space and sometimes the workers actually give a fuck and do a good job. the shitty ones that have bad attitudes should be fired tho
---

all the more reason fast food needs to be automated

people hate working those jobs and people hate people who work those jobs, so....

She was being a bitch, and she was wrong. pretty unlikable combination.

And yeah I can put it on my own burger, but I don't fucking work there. This a restaurant, I buy food, you make the food, I eat the food. That's how this works genius. It's not like I was asking for tacos or some outlandish shit.

I guess you need them to sauce your nuggets too. I understand being upset she had attitude but youre acting pretty damn insufferable about the sauce situation. They work there not me!..give me a fuckin break lol.

If you couldn't negotiate a bbq bacon cheeseburger out of a person then what makes you think you will once the place becomes automated?

Fast food workers don't put the condiments on the food for you.

They're paid chicken scratch and treated like garbage by self-entitled sad people who have nothing better to do about get worked up about fast food of all things. i wonder why they are unhappy

Half the reason their lives suck is that they work under shitty conditions for sub-living wages. The other half? Entitled and condescending customers such as yourself.

If you don't like fast food workers' attitudes, you can choose not to be part of the problem.

Then get a new job if it's that bad. I was poor once, came from a family that didn't have shit and I've carved out a nice life for myself. I'm not the audience for your woe is me pity party.

I can promise you this, If you do work fast food and you have a shitty attitude like this lady did day in and day out you're gonna die where you are. and you'll have no one to blame but your own unlikable ass.

Fast food workers aren't so bad. You just had a shit experience. It happens.

A shit experience that was partly brought on by his own attitude. Clearly went in with a bias against fast food, used the first interaction to justify those biases and then cried about having to put his own condiments on.

LOL at all the people itt blaming customers for these people's sad existence. No, dealing with shitty customers is merely a symptom of the real problem. Their entitled "woe is me" selves.

No they aren't, and I shouldn't generalize i'm just annoyed. But alot of them do, and unfortunately they're the ones who are gonna stick around cause the people who don't have a stick in their ass are gonna find better opportunities and move on.

Dispensing soda water and syrup (that needs to be put in by a person) is a bit different than an automated machine preparing a burger.

so you asked for a menu item they dont have and they said they didn't have it. and then you asked for a condiment and they said what they could do for you.

what exactly is supposed to set me off here?

Basically, yeah.

Nobody who is actually worth a damn is going to stick around for the shit pay and shit work of fast food. The scrubs will stick around. You just gotta get lucky and hit the place at the right time.

I know what TC means. Ive worked at McDonalds and in restaurants. Ive never acted like some of these moody people.

They cut you off mid order with their monotone, deflated voices.

What size?

Maybe if youd let me finish, Id tell you you impatient, bitch.

I get it. Ive had to man two drive thru lanes while taking money for the first window. I get how hectic things can be. I get how things can be slow without it even being your fault. But get out of your funk. Seriously.

lol, you weren't even there but you're comfortable is assuming that I gave them an attitude about it? I was pretty polite till I drove off. And even then I didn't say something shitty I just left.

You're a third rate troll whose in deeper waters then you're gonna be able to handle little guy
---

I agree with Vipa. If someone says you have to put on your own sauce I think "eh, minor inconvenience whatever" not "UGH ALL FAST FOOD WORKERS ARE IDIOT SCUM"
---

I know I wasnt there. I fully believe you that you got attitude. Its you bitching about having to open a bbq sauce packet that loses me. It sounds like both people involved in your story are unpleasant to be around.

But what was the height level of their trash can?

And they want to raise the minimum wage lmao

The irony here, of course, is that a $15 wage floor will quickly run the 'bad' employees right out the door.

Or, is that even ironic at all?

Fast Food workers and retail workers arent the only people who make minimum wage you know.

Bro they have burgers with bbq sauce on them, which means they have a squeeze bottle with sauce in it back in the kitchen. She either didn't want to do it cause she's lazy as shit or didn't want to admit that she's an idiot and couldn't put that together herself without me pointing it out to her.

It's not about having to put the sauce on my burger, its about you being an unpleasant person to deal with. I'll take my business elsewhere. Fast food isn't even really that cheap anymore. Might as well spend a few more dollars and go to burger fi and get an awesome burger and not have to deal with lazy ass unmotivated people

I loathe those machines. Everything tastes overly syrupy. They're the worst.

They're not bad, but I find they have to be "primed" with a regular soda to get out flavors from previous people.
