This hit me with a huge wave of nostalgia. Fast food workers are underappreciated but I think that kind of strengthens the bond between the employees. I made so many good friends working at McDonalds and even though the work was simplistic in nature it was also difficult to master. I remember bringing in a hand written list of all the burger ingredients for the first couple of months because I found it really hard to memorize them all. On my days off I would literally study the McDonalds menu because my managers would give me such a hard time during my shifts. Some people just don't realize that when they order a Big Mac, someone has to know how to prepare it in a very short amount of time. As much as I hated my managers and my low rate of pay I can't help but miss my time working there. If anything it taught me to treat retail and restaurant workers like actual people and not pieces of fucking garbage.

[@Prophesy0001]

That's so true. Thanks for sharing man. I'm in the same boat as you right now. I worked at Wendy's for seven months and made so many friends. I still miss them to this day. I had a chill manager and a loud and obnoxious manager. It taught me that there's always gonna be rude people. You just have to suck it up. I worked at a Burger King for a week. I absolutely despised that place. Now I'm working at McDonald's and today was my first day. I had no idea how to get all the burger orders right. I learned a few things but the job is extremely difficult and we have immature little mtfs shaming fast food workers when I'm literally struggling to make a living. I have a license test in two weeks and I'm saving up for a car. Not to mention I need a new dryer and I need to get the van fixed. It's tough you feel me

[@Funny_in_blue]

Yes!! I work at one now. I don’t prepare food. I just hand food out the window, make drinks, occasionally I will take orders for counter and drive through. Even just taking drive through orders can be a little difficult when you’re new. In my free time I just try and memorize what’s on the menu so that I’m able to find stuff quicker. For the most part I love the job. My manager is awesome and most of the co-workers are nice and helpful. There’s a few that get easily annoyed when you’re still learning how to do stuff but overall, not bad.

You have to realise what gets said to these workers every single day by both customers and managers, you really think that gives them motivation to work at maximum potential? Most fast food chains are severely understaffed on certain days because the stores want to save money on labour which puts more pressure on the few staff members who are working. I get it, it’s a job so get over it. But at the end of the day all they’re trying to do is do their job and go home, they have no reason to act lazy or slow because it simply wouldn’t benefit anyone.

Les plannings sont plus sécurisés, plus faciles à faire en ayant beaucoup de petits contrats à sa disposition, plutôt qu'un nombre restreint d'employés à temps plein.

The biggest difference I can see is that normal patties were always cooked to order, they were never put in those holding bins. Only fried fish/chicken patties (and finger foods) because those took too long. I actually kinda enjoyed working in the kitchen there too, just hammering out those burgers. And yeah it can be pretty exhausting, especially when you're the only one in the kitchen against 3 cashiers and a full restaurant of people. Good times.

In rush situations, you could have a separate person working the toasters, one cooking the meat, and one dressing buns for hours on end.

It certainly was stressful, in my experience at least. The managers of the store where I used to work at would schedule their employees to work alone in the kitchen on a weekly basis.

When you work in the fast food or restaurant industry, you realize just how stressful the job can be. After working at starbucks for 2 years and now currently serving in a higher end restaurant, I have a huge amount of respect and patience whenever I go somewhere to eat. You actually understand why there are long wait times and why sometimes you get your orders wrong because in such a high stress environment workers tend to panic and rush to get their jobs done as fast as they can to keep a smooth workflow, which would result in plenty of errors along the way. Customers that decide to confront or complain to the workers for their mistakes takes a lot of toll on their morale, and could result in even more mistakes because you stress them out even more. In the end, I urge more people to be more patient with their experiences at food establishments, especially fast food. Don't give workers shit just because they forgot to give you light ice on your drink, just let them know by speaking to them in a respectful way and you'll get your orders corrected.

Seeing you put mustard on there makes me bring up an interesting fact. While it is standard to put mustard on a McDonald's classic burger everywhere in the country, it isn't in one place...NYC and its suburbs. I've lived on both sides of the Hudson and I've only come across a McD's regular burger with mustard once around Long Branch. Why don't they do this? The company says "customer preferences" which is a simpler way to say it's a regional thing and it makes perfect sense. We don't mind having mustard on our iconic hot dogs, but when it comes to burgers, it's just ketchup. NY really is the outlier of this country. With all that aside, I know teachers like to tease "You're gonna become a fast-food worker if you don't do these things" but if anything they too keep this country going. They have to put up with so much nonsense whether it's from customers or managers and people need to understand, your food doesn't just magically appear. There are people behind the equipment
