Have any of you ever worked at a fast food restaurant?

Yes, first job McDonalds. I was 17 at the time and the only person drive thru and cashier since I'm the only one who can speak Spanish and English while all the Mexican moms are in the kitchen or running food.

>>9403528
Plenty of line order cook jobs but no fast food. I'd assume its similar.
>heres the menu, make the menu

>>9403871
cool story bro

No because I'm not a pathetic retard

>>9403871
>pretending to be a mexican on the internet

>>9403528
Worked at wendy's. One time they made this dude's sandwich wrong 2x and he threw it at the girl in the drive thu window. she cried. i hated her. win win

>>9403900
another time this woman didnt say no sauce on her chicken wrap and came back up and was all "I DEF SAID NO SAUCE WTF" and the cashier kid was all "i'm sorry but I dont remember you saying that, we can make it again for you it'll just be a sec" and she said something shitty like "so i could be eating my food now if you didn't screw it up but because of your incompetence i have to wait?" soooooooooooooo we washed the sauce off in the dish water and just threw the chicken in the deep fryer for a sec and then made another one with it. Don't be rude to people that make your food only getting minimum wage, they can find another job. Watched her eat it, asked her if it was better. She said "would have been better if it was like this the first time".

>>9403915
You mean that's the kind of story you'd make up in your head when you were following your orders like a good little low pay worker bee. Bet people talked shit to you all the time and you did fucking nothing about it cos you're a pathetic little faggot. Quit lying on the internet we all know you're a beta loser

I dare you to throw a bitch fit after 8pm at a fast food place, night managers don't care what you do.

>>9403935
Oooh I'm shaking

>>9403924
You have to be 18+ to post on 4chan.

It sucks being Drive Through because you have to learn how to take orders while you are cleaning, bagging orders, and restocking.

>>9403871

There is something wrong with the fast food industry when fast food can't be fast food. Not every store is going to get good enough sales to allow more than 3 people working at the same time.

>>9403946
How exactly does my post make me seem underage? Or are you a triggered fast food worker who by definition is retarded and you're just parroting what you've seen others post without actually understanding what it means?

Never worked drive thru and glad I havent. I for one, have been drunk and cocained up so much getting food. Ive had sex in the line, pulled a knife in the line, vomitted 10 times in the line, through a half bottle which broke in a faggot check out guys face. Im lucky Ive never been arrested. I should have killed someone to push my luck. People are stupid and horrible trash most of the time.

yeah worked in a shitty australian fast food place called red rooster from 15-18
really quickly gets you to the point where you can't eat chicken anymore

I don't like it when a customer asks me a question about the menu because most of the time I don't know the answer. I don't like it when a customer wants to change their order or wants to give me more change after I just completed the transaction.

>>9403953
Then they shouldn't be located there. And they'll close. That should be well considered or you'll hemorrhage money. Look at the long run, rather than what's in front of you. Are you a manager, or an owner?

>>9403959
"Mom, check out what I said on Four Chan."

>>9403959

how do you not work drive through?

>>9403966

and not every store is made to handle large orders or a long line of customers. Even when there's a full staff, they might not have a big enough kitchen , separate windows for drive through, or

>>9403972
Also consider fast food doesn't mean instant food. Places like McDonald's are along those lines. Should just be a bomb ass dollar menu done quick imo. People want more quality anymore though. Things take longer even if everybody is doing their job. Millennials are pushing this trend to eat out more often, and expect a certain quality. It's hard to transition for big companies like this. There are niches for most companies to go to, but they probably won't. I think Taco Bell has the best model going. Subscribe and hit the like button.

It would be great if restaurants can have a grace period to restock and clean up a bit. A long line of customers incoming for 2-3 hours means no time for staff to do any maintenance.

>>9403528
nah, couldn't do it and not because i feel it's beneath me, i couldn't deal with those fucking mutant customers on a daily basis

Why are there so many edgelords in this thread?

>>9404101

You are lucky if you can choose not to do fast food and get another job.

Do you actually take anything here at face value?

>>9403964
If you can't handle that then I don't know how you'd handle any kind of workplace

Worked at a Krystal burgers one summer.

The first thing they train you is "Grey Goo". Grey Goo is the sign of a properly steamed hamburger, when the blood from the rare patty soaks into the bread and cooks in the bread.

I also got written up for making mini chili cheese dogs that were "too messy".

I don't like it when I'm working drive through and the customer doesn't even look at me. They just extend their hand out of their car to hand me payment and get their food. Not only is it rude, but it means there's a good chance they'll drop the money/food since they aren't really looking.

I don't like it when I'm working drive through and a customer asks me to throw away their trash for them .

Yeah currently working at Portillo's

I don't like it when I'm working drive through and the customer tells me the food he wants.

>>9403947
Sounds so hard

I don't like it when I'm the only person on front because that means I have to take orders from Drive Through as well as orders on front counter. That also means I have to be bagging others and making drinks for front and drive through.

>>9403957
Not him but you just sound like a kid trying to be cool

>>9404746

Yes. Especially when it's super busy. Sometimes you need to run to the back to get something and have to deal with taking an order and need to be able to remember an order long enough to be able to input into the register. If you stand at the drive through register just taking orders you won't get anything then. You have to learn to multitask and be able to remember a long list of orders to survive. You won't always have someone on the floor to help you collect , help you restock, or help you bag.

First job was working at subway. It wasn't bad. All the customers liked me a lot and gave me a good amount of money ever week in tips.

Yes. I worked at a Sonic Drive In.The orders come in really fast when there's nice weather. They come in all at once since there's 18 stalls and two drive thrus.

I cut my hand open and didn't notice it. I don't know how long I was bleeding but I noticed that I had bled all over the burgers I was making. My boss was a bitch and would have chewed me out in front of everyone if I threw them out. So I just wrapped them up and sent them out. I put gloves on afterward but the bleed was kind of leaking out. I was able to get to the first aid chest when business slowed down but it was completely empty.

>>9404746

If there isn't 2 windows for drive through or at least 2 people for front, the person taking orders is also the same person who has to take payment while taking another for the next customer. So what happens is that a customer makes an order, drives up to drive through window, awkwardly waits for a minute or 2 for drive through person to take order for the next customer before giving payment and often has to wait an extra minute or so before getting their order because drive through is busy taking orders/making drinks instead of bagging.

>>9403528
I worked at an Abry's for 4 years from 14-18 and my mom was the manager. It was fucking awesome because back in the early 2000's we got paid 10-12/hr, but we worked our ass off and everyone was a damn good worker

We do that because we are scared that merely looking into a wage-cuck's eyes will make us catch "poor"

I wish I could. You get money working in these places.

I worked at Culver's for four years in high school. Then I worked st a pizza place for a week as a driver then quit. Both jobs sucked

>>9404861
Pretty much this.

Working at a mcdonalds at 1am on a friday is my idea of hell.

recently was rejected by mcdonalds. i am 23. end me.

I delivered for little Caesars for about 2 years. I miss that job. I made like 50-100 a night on tips plus minimum wage. It was a franchise little Caesars so all of the toppings were fresh. We even had some extra toppings that aren't typically at most corporate little Caesars. Also.. all the young high school girls working there in leggings. I was drunk every day. I want to go back.

And when she came back it had gotten put under new ownership and they scheduled her to work during that time but she didn't show so they fired her, but she came in to say she got a different job and was resigning but was told she was already fired.
Only many years later she realized it was unlawful termination.

She then worked at pioneer chicken for a bit.

Every food business sucks dick as a cashier.

Never forget when /b/ got a job managing a McDonalds lol

Got my start at Burger King. Manager noticed I had a flair for going "off-menu" and promoted me to their corporate menu creation team. I worked on the Halloween Whopper. My roomate at Burger King College was the son of the guy who invented chicken sticks. The valet was daughter of the woman who invented their French Toast sticks.

>>9405070
Your entire post sounds like you are 15 years old trying to be cool if you don't understand how exactly it's because you are definitely underage

Fast food can either be cozy or super sucky. I would recommend taking up graveyard shift .

My first job was at McDs when i was 15, was when they were doing the 28 cent mcdouble promotion. Quit mid shift 2 weeks in, was a horribly depressing job.

I worked Krystal for almost a year. Don't remember getting told about Grey Goo, but you're right. Worked pretty much every weekend night. All the club-goers asking for entire grills(24), different condiment combinations throughout, chiks. Learned real quick how to layout multiple grills simultaneously.
I never went in to work unless I was high/drunk. Favorite food to eat on the line was a double meat cheese krystal with a chik and chilli on it.
They fucked up their double krystals though. Taking out that one piece of bun in the middle is lame af for what they charge for it.

>>9404724

Tell them it's a violation of your health code for you to handle other people's trash, and that company policy won't allow it. If your restaurant/company is worth their salt, they should already have a policy like that.

Most people are pretty understanding about things like that (at least with my clientele). I had one old fucker threaten to call corporate over it years ago, but nothing ever came of it. He's probably dead now. Worms crawling in and out of every orifice of his flesh. Makes me very happy.

This. Working at a non-food retail store I quickly learned it was worth the 5s to ask "Out of <total of bills handed to me>?" If they stonewalled or suddenly decided they have change, since the item wasn't food I would tell them the transaction went through and they would have to return the item and purchase it again. Nobody ever wanted to go through with it.

>>9408870
it's been about ten years since I've worked their but one of the top complaints I remember was that the coffee sucked. We got to drink the shit for free and i remember it being undrinkable swill. No idea why corporate hasn't tried to improve the program.

>>9403987
I work at a mid tier family owned place with 8-10 cooks on the line on any given night and even at crazy paced volume nights we still manage with wipe stations down ect for a few secs every 10 orders or so. Then once it slows down around 9-10 pm we pull our mats up and the dishies come through and do a solid sweep while we start breaking our shelves and drawers down slowly and flipping containers and wrapping/restocking. also between lunch and dinner we do a pretty darn decent sanitizing.

>>9404738
Me too, anon. Are you a cook?

>>9408922
Anon work is getting tight and I might be forced to take a kitchen job soon. Is it really bad at first? I've never worked in a kitchen aside from being the delivery driver for a pizza place who would sometimes help with food before a delivery was to go out, but other than that I'm completely inexperienced. My friend keeps nagging me to take it because he wants to work together, but I've always imagined kitchens to be loud and abrasive and messy and that generally doesn't sound like a good fit for me

>>9408947
my big tip is don't go corporate. In any given town or city there are a few family owned places- I got into this industry with zero exp. A lot of our line guys start either in the dish or on fry bc fry is easy even when at high volume. Don't expect to be a saute guy or even making sandwiches or salads at first. Be 10 mins early to each shift, be clean, and even when you are having a shit day and everything pisses you off BE CALM and dont wear your out of work issues on your sleeve. also, a lot of places give away OT like it is candy. I did 57 hours last week and that paycheck is bosssssssssss

when i worked at maccas this slimy indian cunt would leave the till open and shout orders back at us and just palm the money for the orders that should have gone through the system

nobody at the store actually gave a shit however so he got away with it for ages until someone caught on

i didnt give a shit because i was stealing bags of nuggets and chocolate syrup and whatever else i could

>>9405485
ive worked in shitty pub/restaraunt place where i tossed the deep fried riblets in the wrong sauce and so i tossed them and started a new batch, chick i was working with got mad at me and told me i should have just washed them and re fried them and put the right sauce.

i actually cared and told her thats gross, i walked out later that night lol

i worked at some decent semi fine dine places after that, i learned alot, but cooking for money sucks ass.

>>9408947
you just have to work efficiently and accurately. its not hard once you get the hang of it but i can see how someone would suck because i worked with many shitty cooks. if you are smart and actually care about food and quality of ingredients you'll do fine, if you are some idiot which you likely are do yourself a favour and apply at a warehouse or something

>>9409186
i agree, kitchen pay is barely above slave labour... cooks get paid fuck all to begin with, his overtime hourly rate is more like what he should get paid all of the time. meanwhile sally server just runs plates and fills drinks and walks out on a saturday night with $350. they say its fair because cooks get hours all year while servers make alot less when it is slow, but thats bullshit, ive had plenty of my hours cut in slow season.

>>9409521
you are kind of a faggot though. 90% of places anon can get a kitchen job are just going to use him as a kitchen slave, he should clock in at the last fucking second. this boomer work hard bullshit attitude doesnt mean anything anymore, you are a sucker if you actually give a shit about impressing your wagemaster. what is he vying for, head local shitty restaurant cook of the year? fuck that fuck you

>>9411860
your post made me want to go to timmys for some donuts but then i remembered how the last 10 times i've gotten them they've always tasted like they have a hint of rat poison in them

Hey guys I have never worked in the food service industry. I've had jobs before, and have some years/experience in a career but am currently NEET. I need beer and book money and want to be a cook, preferably at a family owned or higher-end restaurant.

I'm a wizard at putting crusts on steak and typical Southern/Mexican home dishes, and am familiar with many fine liquors and wines. Can I be a cook? Bartender mebs? I think I'd be good at it. What's important to these kinds of employers? How can I give the best impression?

Worked at Whataburger for a year before moving on to IT. Loved working the bubble, which was the first window where you have to take orders, payment and occasionally prep when not in rush hour. Remember everyone hated one of the assistant managers, but she loved me for some reason. Probably because I was a "Yes, ma'am. No, ma'am," type of employee. Pretty well liked overall despite being socially autistic in any other social event. What helped me was pretending to be pretentious but make sure they know it's just an act, works pretty well in general really.

As far as working there goes there were only a few things that were memorable. Like the one customer who asked whether our biscuits were gluten free. Nobody in the store, including the manager knew the answer and told her as much and she ordered it anyways. Really, lady? I remember on a stormy night the night manager forgot to put the hood back up on his car and it was almost filled to the steering wheel. The most embarrassing thing I can remember is when taking orders at the drive through this guy had a really gravely voice that made it impossible to hear. After telling him, "I'm sorry, I can't understand you, sir." about three times they roar "I'M A WOMAN." Needless to say I sent them straight to the second window because I was not looking at whatever monstrous creature was on the other end of that line. Turns out it was a middle age black woman. Not really surprised.

Overall the work was fine though. We had one kid who worked every now and then who was actually retarded, but he was a good worker and didn't make a mess. Unlike this one guy we had who was somehow slower and less useful than the actual retard. He apparently got shot and killed which everyone was sad about. I honestly couldn't have cared, he was the worst employee I think I'd ever seen. Oh, and he was black if the whole getting shot and killed thing didn't tip you off.

Is it wrong the close the dining area early when the store is understaffed so that the kitchen can focus more on drive through orders?

>>9403528
Back when I was high schooler. Uni/college aged fags along with soccer moms are the worst.

>>9403924
I work a similar job.

Can confirm that this happens on some occasions. And this isnt even a franchise place.

I worked at a Chuck E Cheese before joining the Navy. I cooked, I cleaned and I put on the costume. Ask me anything.

>>9414023

how long can you wear the costume before it starts to get uncomfortable?

how long are you expected to wear the costume?

>>9414139

a fucking lot of patience. I was working part time but I did open up the place and work during the weekends when the numbers were pretty high. Honestly, the kids were the least troublesome part all things told, it was the teens and adults who were always the issue.

>>9414221
For the length of a birthdayparty. Basically you could pay for a birthday part for your kid(s) and chucke would show up and do a dance for the birthday kid and then walk around the floor to allow the other kids to say hello and usually upon request when someone would ask if chucky could show up.

The worst part is that some kinds would flip their shit at the sight of chucky and their asshole parents would do everything in their power to scare the living shit out of them by forcing them to be around chucky so it was a balance to make sure you got around to the kids who wanted to be around chucky and avoid that one kid who would bolt and jump over tables to get away least the parents file some kind of harrassement (which they tried to do sometimes by getting close on purpose).

>>9403528
Yea, years ago

First job, pizza place, family business

Loved the job, I was super active and bust all the time. Was very social, the boss was a dick and never liked me

Lost job after a month. It was cash under the table and he paid $8 an hour

His nephew planned some shit by mistake and got me fired for sexual harassment on a young girl. I was 16 she was younger, they lied and I got fired

>>9414023
I've never eaten there since I have no worthless spawn, but parents who do have told me the sauce on the pizza is literally sweeter than ketchup. Is that true? Sounds gag inducing.

>>9414306

I'll err on the side of yes. It's been years since I've eaten at one and have no desire to go try one again anytime soon considering how expensive they are.

My mom worked at Wendy's and she got me a job there. We never really worked at the same time thankfully. I worked there on and off from about junior year of hs until I graduated college. I would start there every summer before my internships would begin and felt kind of weird leaving them all for better jobs and eventually a degree and full time job while they all just stagnated. Most of the time I did the front register but did my fair share of drive thru and grill as well. Also opened and closed a fair bit. Lots of free nugs and various other creations. Was a bitch trying to get them to pay me anything other than minimum wage. Spent most of the money I made there on weed anyway. Was a pretty comfy job desu. Met some interesting people there. Sometimes I think it wouldn't be so bad to go back to that kind of work but there's no way to make an actual living doing that.

Yeah used to work at an Arctic Circle during my senior year of high school. I was a cook. A friend worked there too. We were the potheads of the group. I took a hit off his vaporizer and worked the rest of the shift high. Good times

Worked at a Panda Express during high school.
Made friends with the Mexicans who hooked me up with some things that fell out of the back of some trucks every now and then.

>>9403528
Worked at a chain pizza place and i had one customer ill never forget. He would always order delivery but would call during our buziest hours and want the pizza he ordered to ever sit in the warmer. He wanted a driver to wait and bump his order first and always call it wasnt hot enough and demand free pizza. There was another that wanted either 1/4th or different pizzas. (One combo, one veggie, one meat, one Hawaiian to try to save money. One wanted 3/18 of a xl pie of cheese for their kid.

Eventually, she left and I guess that was the end of it. No big lawsuits and no one got fired. Who was really in the wrong here though? I mean, seasme seeds are tiny and they get fucking everywhere. We cant account for a million little seeds. Why didnt she just go to subway or something?

>>9418295
Subway don't serve burgers you double nigger

>>9403528
I consistently spit in the hamburgers at work(McDonolds).

>>9418295
I agree it's stupid for someone with medical concerns to hit a fast food place, ESPECIALLY the drive-thru, where fuckups are very common.

But that said, yeah, it kind of was the store's fault. No sesame seeds means no sesame seeds. Either the person taking the order didn't pass on the request to the people packing it, or the people packing the order did a shitty job. Someone made a mistake. An expected mistake? Sure. But a mistake nonetheless.

>>9403924
Made your pussy hurt, huh bitchboy.

>>9418333
I never understood why she didn't make a bigger deal out of her son's allergies when she ordered. She requested no seeds like you would ask for no pickles; no sense of urgency or importance, just preference.

>>9403953

Holy fuck it keeps happening every time. What is wrong with them.

>>9418475

So why do you keep ordering them?

>>9418476
Because usually I'm not in a hurry.

>>9403915
The moral of the story is that all the people working in the shop were pieces of shit as well as the piece of shit customer.

>>9418513
Then why are you eating fast food at all?

Whataburger.
They paid more than HEB, walmart, and I didnt think it would be that bad. Which it wasnt, except if I had to work sunday at midnight.

I still havent gotten an explanation from anyone why rednecks fill up whataburger at 12:00 every sunday night. The managers refuse to put more than 4 people at work but the place fills up just as much as lunch hour. As much as it sucked to deal with vaping plaid shirt & leather boot truckers, the girls were always half naked.

>>9418532
>i now hate hearing "can i get uhhhhh"

If anyone does this shit, stop. Just say "I'd like" it makes you not sound like a little bitch.

>>9403528
I worked at a noodles and company. No real horror stories, if you want to eat there its okay but its just overpriced pasta.

Worked at bk as overnight cook. I wanted to stick my hand in the fryer everyday. I've seen people drop trays of food on the ground and proceed to use it. Also putting cooked food in the freezer and using it the next day.

>>9419044
How about "give me X, Y, and Z." That would be pretty assertive.

>>9419547

The audio quality if the speaker and headset isn't great. Please slow down when you place your order. I don't always hear everything correctly and even when I do I still need to find everything in the menu.

>>9404746
They tried to teach me drive thru when I worked at Wendy's, have social anxiety problems so the event was a nightmare. Trying to record orders, bag, take cash while making drinks was too much. Nearly had a mental break down on the spot, went back to scrubbing friers with gallons of boiling water cause that was easier for me. Got a job as a technician after a year of Wendy's and which nearly tripled my wage. Never had to do anything as stressful and difficult as drive thru on a busy night. Still have nightmares that I'll get fired and have to work there again. Just because the job is minimum wage didn't mean it's easy, it's absolute shit.

>tfw i work at what a news article earlier this year called "the worst maccas in sydney"
was pretty chill until they started replacing our older, more chill managers with newer, stricter ones

>>9419682

>no separate windows for Drive Through
>only one person working as Drive Through

why is this allowed?

It seems so rude to ignore the person that pulls up to pay for their order so you can take an order for the next person who pulls up to the drive through speaker. how do you even manage to bag orders and make drinks one time when customers don't stop driving up to the speaker?

I worked at a Tim Horton's. It was fucking shit. Really, not so much the work albeit some of the customers could obviously be fucking cunts. It was more that literally every coworker there thought they were upper management and talked down onto you, constantly bossed you around and yelled at you and the actual managers didn't give a flying fuck.

Fuck that place. Never again.

which maccas lad?

I worked a 3-11 shift at McDonald's as my first job. my store wasn't 24 hour so I"d to all the opening shit and then run drive thru for the rest of my shift. Fast forward a few years later, I nailed a supervisor position at Staples because the manager said you learn a lot of good things working at a fast-paced environment like fast food.

I'd recommend a fast food place for anyone's first job to be honest. It's incredibly easy but it puts you through the stress and frantic environment, and if you learn to keep your cool working fast food, you will be a veteran for any other customer service job. Fast food customers are more often than not absolutely retarded.
