food industry is the worst too, I just want to mop a floor or even scrub toilets and avoid dealing with people

Food isn't so bad once you get used to the routine and how shit works. I wouldn't work there again since you have to deal with people.

I work in a major shipping warehouse and its easy as fuck. A lot of downtime where I just stand around and space out. I don't get along with some coworkers but I have a few I can small talk with so it isn't too bad.

>>24071766
Not really. What was hell was having to work there 5+ hours PER DAY including WEEKENDS. But even that was nothing compared to your bosses getting mad at your for doing nothing when you're not getting customers but you've already completed all the jobs for that day. At that point it's literally kitchen wipedown going at a snails pace #339 for the day.

>>24071766
I used to get really fucking stressed when it got busy back when I worked at a restaurant. I could deal with the orders no problem but I would just completely shut down and not talk to anyone after the rush.

Working at a restaurant really opened my eyes to how much of an asshole I really am and I fucking hate it.

I would gladly take working as a line cook than retail or waiting tables or anything with speaking to strangers.

>>24071719

>>24071856
fuck you, it's flipping burgers. They should be lucky they haven't been replaced with a machine yet, which by the way would probably be more affordable than current minimum wage.

Jobs seem really hard. This thread makes me want to stay a NEET for as long as possible.

>>24071568

>>24071594
Can't speak for all your co-workers, but I sure do hate you, you dumb fuck. Who even hired you?

>>24071908
Then fucking invent the robors already, but until then those employees deserve a wage that they can survive on, that's literally the least their labor deserves. Making fatties pay $14 a burger would be a great thing for this nation.

>>24071913
At first working at a restaurant, you feel and are literally fucking useless.

You need to get the hang of everything and it will become somewhat easier.

>>24071766
same:

>>24071846

when it comes to food, it makes people extra demanding and anxious and in hurry and picky and selfish and generally in a bad mood.

I actually briefly worked a job that involved collecting and cleaning plastic trays at the food court of a shopping mall, and also cleaning the mirrors and sinks of washrooms but not the toilets themselves, and stress-wise it was just so much better. Unfortunately it was just like 3 hours a day and also the place was dead so it was just me and my 50+ year-old co-workers standing around in silence.

I seriously want to work as a one-man janitor but I never see anything listed in my local job websites nor do I know which companies I should apply to.

>>24071908
I hope they replace people with machines faster, just moves us closer to basic income

>>24071908
>its flipping burgers
Its not undercooking or burning them
Its meeting a high volume of demand

The only job where you don't deal with people is dish washing but holy shit does that job suck ass after awhile.

When they do that they're actually hoping to get fired. Also that's the reason most fast food workers will be buzzed with narcotics or alcohol during a shift, it helps pass the time and take away the pain of having to work there.

>>24072005
dish washers are extremely underrated tb.h

>>24071866
Kinda. It's hard, and you have to deal with people and their problems, it's not like any store where someone buys buillshit and moves on, they come here, ask you about a lot of shit, they tell you their problems and even ask your for advice about unrelated shit. People think you're their fucking psychologist.

Somehow I managed to stay for a fucking year, but that job was too overwhelming for a robot

>>24072045

>>24071899
Bread. I worked at a not-Subway sandwich place. They advertised that their bread was "baked fresh everyday!" and that was such a huge lie. Literally everyday we would either intentionally use last night's bread, left on the bread rack and not frozen or anything, to make catering orders at like 8 in the morning 3 hours before the store was actually opened or have to take out frozen bread from unmarked bags in the middle of the day because we'd run out of bread for the afternoon/evening shift. Then the evening shift would always have too much bread at night and leave it out overnight and repeat the cycle.

Oh and we'd make salads maybe like once a week.

>>24072095
Well that's because you're australian

nobody here in the us gives a fuck about dishwashers and they get dick

>>24071568
This was me at BK for the month I worked there. I get mad every time I think about it.

You shut your bitch mouth. Pharmacy techs are the most entitled, spoiled "retail" workers I ever saw in my time doing that. They think they're so goddamn great because they got their little community college cert and all of the sudden they're too good to do actual work like making bales or taking out trash. These spoiled fucks are also left alone by management most of the time.

>>24072007
When I was washing dishes one of the cooks would literally do lines of coke off his cutting board to get through the night

I used to work for this dying pizza chain and it was the first comfy job of all the jobs I've ever had. Hardly anyone ever ordered shit, shit was simple to make, got along with the manager and coworkers where we could just fuck around and cook the stores food for free.

Even smoked during closing and play vidya on the stores tv since it was so dead, The only time I ever got along with coworkers.

>Getting called in early so people can leave early

Oh no I meant that I would be the one guy to be called in early for the morning shift besides the manager, and the other people working the day shift would work like 3-4 hours and get a nice lunch break, and then when it was my time to leave at 5 I would usually get a phone call saying "hey uh bro imma be late a bit aight?" and them showing up 45 minutes late or "hey uh bro I have a thing I can't come in bye" and I'd end up working 12+ hour shifts.


I couldn't even sleep in on weekends either because I'd constantly get phone calls that "so and so is not feeling well (he or she is hungover from being a Friday/Saturday night normie) and can't come in" at like 9 am.

I'm actually sort of grateful that the new piece of shit owners fired me, working at McDonalds would actually be a step up now.

>Normie: Don't worry, anon. We're all supportive here! If you make a mistake, just try it again. If you have any questions, don't by afraid to ask!

Left over bread is dicey, especially if they weren't storing it any way.

Parbaked bread is perfectly fine. It is a bit of a lie but yes it is as fresh as if it came straight from the baker.

Do you have to talk to your co-workers as a McDonald's cook or is it too busy for conversation?

>>24071865
Ha, I have a linesman who was like this for a long time. It took him a good 6 months to break out of it. I was the sous chef at the time. I tried all manner of coaching to no avail. Finally I would position myself next to whatever station he was on or if it was a 2 person station I would work with him. I would remain calm and crank,shit out through rush with him and just small talk and help him break down his station. After a solid month of that he began to loosen up. I was able to slowly space myself from him and he was able to function without my help.

I'm the exe. Chef now he has made his way as one of my sous. Out of all of the restaurants I consider him to be top 3 sous chef.

>>24072299
Yes amazon is viciously anti-union

>>24072266
He actually said to me one night "I actually was a dishwasher like you but then all the chefs quit one day so the owner taught me the menu and now here I am overworked and underpaid"

I left soon after that

i work at Mcdonalds on the Las Vegas strip and we are definitely underpaid.
the other city block Mcdonalds, they are shit, fuck them unless they are the busiest locations in the city, they don't got SHIT on tourist spots.

in my job you don't ever get to stop moving, you get two 10 minute breaks and if you take too long the customer and the manger both give you a hard time at the same time.
80% of the customers don't speak english, 20% of the customers are heavily intoxicated and/or hookers (its Las Vegas).
the customer can treat you any way they feel like and i've even been disrespected by muslin and indian kids and i've heard anti-american slurs directed at us.

try hearing anti-american slurs while keeping your cool. we are underpaid.

During quiet times you can chat

idk about Subway, but again our store was all high and might about how everything was so fucking fresh especially the salads.

The way we made them was pretty awful as well. We'd get entire heads of Romaine lettuce that would already be half-rotten by the time we got to using them and we were supposed to have one of those lettuce-spinning things that you use to dry off lettuce after you rinse it, but the one we had was broken for about... 7 years... so every thing of salad that we made once a week was filled with like an inch or two of water and just sat there.


I used to think that working at that local sandwich/fast food place was the right thing because muh globalization and we got to look out for the local businesses but jesus man Subway and McDonalds are a step up for both the customers and employees.

>>24072299
I worked at a warehouse for one day before quitting. It was the single worst experience ever, and would rather not have a job then have one but at that place. It was severly depressing. Especially when the manager was some batshit crazy 50 year old women that would harass and yell at you for not taking up the amount of hours she'd give to you.

>>24072327
Probably too busy. I work at Taco Bell and I could never talk to the chubby latino cutie I worked with.

Yeah, the place and job I worked was alright. Different places are likely run differently, and maybe pickers have it worse.
The 13$/hour and overtime were what made it worth it for me.
And if it's really bad quitting is always an option.

I was just okay with the work, and it paid enough money to be tolerable. At the time I got it I was just desperate for work after being a 20 year old with 0 work history.

I wasn't especially talkative that afternoon because it was becoming a habit that I would have to come in up to an hour earlier for evening shifts because the other two guys on larder would get so little prep done
So I'd get in early and get shit done for that evening and then in the quiet time when I officially started get stuff done for the next day
(Always do what first what you need first bitches)
So pardon me if I was mr snappy mcchatty

>>24072501
It was $11.25 an hour and I was put on a 60 day probation period where I would get a $75 raise upon passing. Made it to about 45 days before just not showing up anymore.

The work dealt with clothing, shoes, and random sporting goods. You have your own area and with empty boxes where you place a certain amount of items and have tohit a button so it registers what amount goes where. You also have to do a certain amount within a time frame which is very stressful. I didn't get along with coworkers either which made it even more shitty.

>>24072499
Yeah, that's literally it. All the workers get with their respective managers every morning and after lunch and do a series of stretches. After lunch we also review safety guidelines (Amazon has a serious hardon for safety in their warehouses) and people can share their personal "success stories". If someone doesn't volunteer they WILL call on people.

The entire thing is gay as hell but you absolutely need to stretch regularly if you're gonna be working in one of their warehouses. They expect you to be on your feet for the entire ten hour shift, only stopping on breaks. There are no chairs or benches in the warehouse outside the break rooms, and if they catch you sitting on the floor you will be reprimanded. The average order picker walks about twelve miles a day at these warehouses.

Honestly, find a job at a restaurant.

Work as a line cook and you can probably learn how to cook your own meals.

Seriously, you don't really learn any useful life skills from working at retail save for controlling your temper when dealing with dumbfuckers

i worked at the home depot briefly, it was awful.

i had to do some training but the computers didnt work so they just sent me out into the store. i had no idea what the fuck i was doing or where anything was because the managers were missing and nobody gave me the initial walkthrough. my supervisor didnt know they had even hired me for his department. i "lost too many sales" because i couldnt explain much to old ladies and that was the end of that.

>>24072726
This. I couldn't even get hired at a fucking dollar tree when I started working. I had to whore myself to temp agencies to even find a job because they'll hire anyone and honestly if you speak English you're already more qualified than half the spics and niggers who come in there looking for a job. I started out folding boxes in a fucking warehouse and I loved the job but my manager was an asshole and didn't like me because I didn't go in for the overtime he told me I didn't have to fucking come in for.

>tfw you will never be able to work a local Video store or even a Blockbuster which involves mostly just hanging out and watching movies on like 8 TVs hanging off the ceiling and walls, and then recommending obscure movies to people who come in regularly and you know their movie taste by heart

Why type of warehouse job is it? If its amazon or fedex usually you'll get thrown into what area needs you the most. I'm skinny as fuck and I've worked in some hard areas and it wasnt so bad once you get used to it. Might even get you in shape.

You never really lift more than thirty pounds most of the time. If you're folding boxes you'll bulk up quick though. Don't worry - if they'll hire women they'll hire you.

>>24072704
Yeah that was a horrible chef and someone who did not deserve the title.

>>24072820
I almost got hired for a dollar tree but they were using all the new hires as people to help remodel the store for the whole week at 6am to 12pm in the winter. We were mostly outside a lot. You had to complete the week in order to get hired. I quit after the second day.

>>24072846
>tfw u work in walmart at the electronics section
job is easy af but doing cash is stressful due to me being a huge fuck up. The job mostly consists of stocking light shit on the shelves like vidya or cables and talking to computer illeterate customers. It is not bad but the shifts can drag if the store is dead and there is nothing to do.

10.75 is barely minimum wage

>>24072862
thanks m8
>>24072837
any type. I need to get a job soon and I'm thinking about getting a warehouse one. Also would they let you listen to music?

>>24072922
for what they pay you to do, it's pretty good senpai

>>24072902
I know that feel bro. I'm a pretty tall, broad guy and I just can't fucking yell. Every time I think I am nobody hears me. I think it's because my parents used to yell at each other a lot when I was a kid. Even now I get jumpy and angry when people raise their voice around me. I can't stand it.

>>24072647
That sounds pretty brutal depending on how physical that 12 miles actually is. Is it minimum wage?

>>24072942
Depends on the place but most I've worked at wouldn't allow phones or mp3 players cause of security and people could get hurt easily from not paying attention.

>>24072902
Believe it or not that is a common hang up that line cooks have. There are ways to guide them through it.

Another common hang up is asking for the server to clarify an order or stopping the chef to ask them somthing.

>>24072431
I know a truck driver. We met though a forum and he was in my state. We saw a movie together and I almost sucked his cock but I chickened out.

>>24072902
I know how you feel. I worked for a sub shop in a busy downtown area and was the one who had to yell names and give their food to people during lunch hour. Most embarrassing and depressing moment of working a job.

>>24072942
They won't let you listen to music most of the time. I've worked in Amazon warehouses twice now and electronics on the warehouse floor are strictly prohibited, cell phones included. You will get fired for having your phone on the warehouse floor. Dunno about any other companies but they're probably the same. Earbuds are a safety hazard since you can't hear what's going on around you either, but they give out free earplugs funnily enough.

Working at a movie theater isn't so bad if you don't have trouble dealing with people. It's pretty easy, you even get to watch free movies on breaks or whenever. You could ask to be the one who cleans the theater if you don't wanna deal with being a cashier.

>>24072961
It's twelve dollars an hour with benefits. I work there as a temp atm but I'll probably be hired for real after the holiday season. If you're a temp you get no benefits and the company will pass you over for a real employee for anything. Actual employees get bumped up to 13.50/hr after a few months and get shares in the company, and they'll even pay for you to go to college.

It really is brutal though. I can barely walk after my shift is done and I'm hungry all the time at work since I'm constantly burning calories.

I'd literally run out of room to work and prepare more plates / trays because servers would make chitchat instead of running the food. Was in Vietnam all night on Friday and Saturday

>>24071908
Not even flipping burgers. As seen in OP's pic, the grills come down and cook both sides at once and are timed for you.

>>24072994
would much rather yell at strangers than try to command coworkers that knew I was a beta

>>24073136
Holy shit they asked you to get on the forklift with no certification? That's a huge safety code violation. You were smart to say no - your health is mpre important than any job.

>>24073136
Did they drug test you?

I knew a friend who worked in the same type of DIY-bullshit sotre as Home Depot and you had to take a piss test as part of the interview & evaluation - but then everyone who worked there were complete stoners. I guess they just stopped giving a shit once people were hired.

>>24073137

I worked at a Mcdonalds for almost 2 years, one right off the interstate in an expanding part of Florida and while I only did 15-20 hours per week, the job does not deserve $15 per hour. Maybe like the $9 they are getting now is fair imo.

>>24073187
I'd rather he quit after one day than stay on working only enough to avoid being fired while bitching the entire time.

Oh shit here's a fun one. How many of you line cooks can hear the ticket printer noise in any restaurant or hear that shit in your sleep.

Did you ever nick name it?

>>24073187
>>quitting after one day
>You people are the worst
For what reason?
I did 2 months, but I wouldn't get pissed at someone doing a day.
If anything it's nice that a few working people have standards as opposed to slaving away for whatever scraps are thrown to you.

God I hate these 'my job is serious business' fuckers. Worked as a nightshift store clerk for a while and my day change was some 40+ years old faggot who thought selling people meat is as complex as building space rockets, so he criticized me for every little fuck up.
Damn it felt good to mess up EVERYTHING on my last shift.

>>24073164
the part i still dont understand is how they actually got visibly angry when i didnt want to break THEIR rules with them

Really underwhelming.

I like, really hyped myself up for it, and then finally when it happened I just stuck my cannon-hard dick through the donut hole (it was a whole-wheat honey-glazed just FYI) and that was it. I just had a donut hanging on to my boner. It tried grabbing it with my hand to make it tighter and humped it a few times but it just broke apart, so I just got mad and ended up jerking with honey-glaze on my hand & dick.

I should've instead stacked a whole pile of donuts on my dick, like those ring-toss carnival games.

>>24073434
Same job. I left during one of my shifts and had a pretty awkward with all my mangers when i went to pick my last paycheck. They were all typical sport chads.

Joking about that I must not like them and shit.

>tfw I'll never get a graveyard shift work

I've thought about this, but what are some of the negative aspects of it? For one thing I'd be worried about fucking killing someone driving that thing, especially in the winter. or getting stuck in the middle of an awkward intersection, backing up quickly, etc.

>>24073481
how long did you last at this job?

>>24072660
It's not required, it's just what they say to weed out the people who aren't ambitious. I got a nice, professional job with almost zero experience in it just because I applied and was able to sell myself. I was totally under qualified for the position, but I've learned a lot.

Don't let "2 years minimum experience..." Put you off from applying for a job

>>24073529

Meh it's not bad here's a tip.

Next time you are Ill or cannot make work make the call you self give atleast 2 hours heads up. Always try to get your shift covered.

Fucking customers.. if you're like this, fuck you. Decide your shit before opening your dumb ass mouth..

I have a list of people I hate:

>people that order more than an order of tacos (2)
>people that order the new Buffalo Chicken Fries
>people that want "No Salt" fries
>people that order salads at peak hours
seriously, fuck you and your salad. Your dumb ass swears like ordering at BK is a healthy choice to begin with, stop kidding yourself.
>people that want "off the broiler" shit
P.S. you're getting the same meat as everyone else :^)
>people that order their burgers on specific breads
>people that want to be special snowflakes and literally "have it their way"

>>24073616
Luckily I didn't encounter any serious hazing during my service, my butt also remained virginal, guess because I served closely to the capital. Shit does get bad in bumfuck regions

>>24072816
Just lie when they ask you about light or some shit
They don't know anything so you basically say whatever you want

>>24073509
Well, for starters, the licence is not cheap at all.
It's not easy to drive, semi-trailers are scary, not gonna lie, you need balls to drive that shit for the first time.
You need like 2 years of experience and international experience for almost every company
You'll feel lonely eventually, and sad. You have a lot of time to think and that's not always good.
Once you find a job, you barely have any free time, so forget about movies everyday, long vidya, friends if you have any, and a lot of shit. I play a lot on my psvita though, but I haven't played MGS V yet and it's killing me.

Former fry cook here. Hated the work but it was not worth $15. I'd say $10-$11 at the very most. $15 is ridiculous.

>>24073676
When my mom would take me to Burger King when I was a kid, she'd ALWAYS specify them to make the burgers "medium well done". Looking back I get a laugh thinking about the cook saying "is this bitch serious?" and just preparing it the same way he prepared all 500 other burgers that day

>>24072835
I know this feel I want a video store job so bad they still exist here in Australia but for how much longer I'm not sure... :(

>>24073765
All I'm saying is I'd rather have a guy like that quit than have to put up with his useless ass if he stayed. Useless employees are worse than quitters because at least a quitter has the decency to leave and stop shitting up the place.

>>24073676
I love those chicken fries but out of curiosity, why do you hate when people ask for them? Is it some stupidly tedious task?

I used to work at a Chick fil A and let me tell you it sucked. They had to general areas to work in "front line" which is basically just any position past the kitchen door and "kitchen" which is self explanatory. I worked front line. I am really uncoordinated and really slow at learning and they had me working on a cash register, the drive through register, dining room (which was basically wiping tables, cleaning the floor EXTREMELY thoroughly, cleaning the playground indoors, and cleaning both restrooms all while keeping condiment stand stocked.), or worst of all, "headset". Headset was a nightmare for anyone who has trouble multitasking and talking while doing actions. You had to talk to a customer, take their order on a register screen, and make the drinks associated with that order as you are talking and hitting buttons also, no stopping in between orders even if some fucker has a carload of kids wanting every flavor of milkshake and ice cream under the sun (that takes much more time to make because it's a multi step process) so I basically shut down the first time they put me there and I mean stopped cold froze up and dropped a Dr Pepper on the floor. The second time I took some guys order wrong and I seriously thought he was going to jump through the window and skull fuck me so I just got a manager and went to a register, then the third time I kept getting cup sizes wrong (cfa has like 5 different cups) so the managers just didn't put me on headset until like 6 months later but by then I was fed up and got a job at a Winn Dixie stocking shelves until 11pm (literally didn't have to say anything to anyone except "it's on aisle whatever") moral of the story, never, ever work in FAST food if you're a slow uncoordinated learner.

>>24073676
I work at a McDicks and those little things piss me of as well.

I work at the register and it pisses me off when people say they want a milkshake or something else with their combo meal instead of the soda after they already ordered the meal. Also people not specifying what sauce they want with their nuggets and people who don't talk loud enough.

>>24073531

It's always older people who treat workers like shit from what I've seen. Most younger people are actually pretty respectful.

Who the fuck actually asks for their whopper to be cooked to exact specifications though? It's literally mass produced food. Just pay the five and some change for it and fucking eat it.

>>24073827
It is, but even if I got $15 and worked 40-50 a week I still couldn't afford to move out. So I just quit.

IF you can get good sleep during the day, it's great if you're a night person who already plays vidya or frogposts until 4am each day regardless.

Most of the people ITT just want to keep their heads down and do their jobs so if you get a room full of them they'd probably work well enough with the right manager and not someone who will berate someone for not learning something right away.

>There's a discount available
>Don't tell the customer

Who clocks in exactly in and out on time? Like down to the minute?

Literally feels out of place if I clock in a minute early or late

Don't worry most jobs will be taken over by robots so we only have to work these jobs for another 10-20 years.

Taxes are rape here like you wouldn't believe, also everything is ridiculously expensive, like our high wages don't cover it, a normal house is a million dollars minimum unless you want to live out in the middle of nowhere

Because they're by order. Nobody really orders them, so there's no point in making a big batch like the regular ones.

So it means I have to stop making the other orders and go into the fridge for some and fry them. really only gets me mad at peak hours desu.

>>24073907
I wish I worked at McDonald's instead, I feel like I'm a cheap imitation. Except I get Onion Rings :^)

When I worked register, it's like yeah ok you can switch it out fine..

What gets me mad is that they try to change their order once they've been charged.. that's like, just suck it up.

Then I have to get my manager and fix that shit..

Oh and when you charge them for the money and they're like "Oh, here's the X cents, so you can just give me bills" it's like no I charged you, I can't change it now..

>>24073919
>>24073970

>>24073974
fuck off.
Some lady on drive thru today ordered her fish sandwiches on the big whopper bun. Like the bun matters, the meat is still the same size made for the other bread...

So cooks, would you eat your own cooked fast food?

>Get paid shit, but we also have a tip jar

>>24073898
I've been on the register alone with nobody to bag orders for me or get fries/drinks for me with a line almost out the door.

If it happens again I'm just going to walk out and quit.

You guys had to have atleast one coworker you got along with r-right?

>>24074023
everyone here will clock out 8 minutes late so the the system rounds up an extra 15 minutes to your hours.

>>24074082
She was a qt and I only got to have a shift in the same time slot once a week or so.

>>24074040
Doesn't BK actually cook their food?

Here at McDicks they just take frozen patties and put them in an oven.

>Manager scheduled your shift for 7:45 hours instead of 8 hours to remove that extra 15 minute break from your day

>consultant in premium whole foods store
>90% of customers open up with "Is it fresh"
NO ITS FUCKING ROTTEN WITH PUS LEAKING JESUS CHRIST

>>24074082
I get along with everyone, there's even a kinda qt hitting on me, but I'm too much beta and she's WAY too normie to even worth a try. I just hide my powerlevel very good and they think I have a social life.

>>24074023
I worked at a local fast food place where we basically worked on the honour system and nobody had any fucking honor but me and like two other people.

We were supposed to show up like 5-10 minutes before our shift, so by the time the shift started on the hour we'd already be dressed and ready to go. instead people would show up like 10 past the hour and dick around on their phones for another 10 minutes and talk with other 16 year olds assholes in the back, and still sign in on time - and also leave early & sign out for later.

I would do the opposite, start to work early before my shift started and work after I had signed out as well. huuuuuge mistake.

Why didn't you become a manager, anon? Too much responsibility to watch cooks flip burgers?

>>24074118
>15 minute break
We get 10 minute breaks here

>>24074118
I hate that shit
>shift begins at 10
>but you gotta be early for 5-minute briefing
>that actually begins at 9:40
>break is 1 hour but administrator starts glaring at me after 40 minutes like I raped his wife

Nothing makes you appreciate a real job more than working at a minimum wage fast food or store job.

>Those regular customers that want to get to know you

>Work fast food at the register and absolutely hate it
>Job opportunity presents itself at a local gas station
Anybody here worked these 2 types of jobs before? Which is better/worse?

>>24074082
I got one job through a friend from school, which was a huge mistake because I couldn't be like "hey can you help me and do your job" without him being like "DUDE CHILL OUT BRO REMEMBER THAT TIME I BOUGHT YOU A SLURPEE" but for the most part I got along great with most people on a superficial level. I'm great at bullshit small talk as slong as it doesn't involve cars or sports.

Quite a few of them I also hung out with outside of work either to go to bars or to smoke a joint in the parking lot, and a couple of them I added on Steam. I even fucked one girl, got rejected by like three.

we get frozen patties and put them in some flame grill shit.

Don't you guys just put it on those hot stove things and have those things that press it down and heat it up?

>>24074023
You're not supposed to at Amazon. If your break starts at 3:00 for example, you stop working at three and go on break. Of course they also count the time it takes to walk across the entire fucking warehouse to get to the break room and then back to work after as your break too, so it's really a ten minute break, not fifteen.

If you start work at a certain time, you have to be clocked in, ready to go, at that time. Being in the building doesn't count.

You're also expected to be working right up til your shift ends. No finishing early and going to the punch machine to punch out at exactly on time.

>Anon, you're doing OK but you could do better if you smiled more toward our customers

Just left a restaurant chain job after 2 weeks. Had some gay fuckboy literally ride my ass for not studying procedures for the job.

I mean I am pretty robot, so I get I come off as an asshole and rude, but I want to go to work just to work, not to be patronized by a gay minimum wage worker who takes his job way too seriously after not being promoted for 3 years.

Gave me a real good realization that I don't want to be like this after 3 years.

Anyone who takes a minimum wage job seriously is trash desu senpai

I quit because it was a shit job but I didn't realize how dependant I was on that stolen money until the steady cash flow was gone. 10/10 though would do again.

Robots you NEED to get into bar work, this shit is the fucking best. In no other profession can you be a dick as long as you get your work done. I'm a glassie (picks up glasses and washes them) literally the best job I've had out of fast food and customer service/sales/retail based roles. Plus all your coworkers are broken in some way too and you can bro down pretty hard. AND you get strong from running around carrying a huge rack of glass above your head. Just go down to any bar during the day and ask if they can take your number/resume to call on you to glassie for them when it gets busy. Make yourself available weekends

I've worked at a gas station and overall it was a pretty relaxed experience, on the other hand it got robbed like 3 different times while I was employed, although I was never on the clock when it happened. Lots of dead hours where you have nothing to do, some busy hours where you want people to physically combust, and small little breaks where you make idle chit chat with people. And you'll meet every person under the sun, good people, bad people, people who will physically threaten, people who verbally threaten you, people who buy lotto tickets and give you one as thanks. All kinds man.

I honestly don't think I've ever put in a two week notice. I usually just quit on the spot or leave in the middle of a shift.

I've read a few stories game testers have put out about their jobs and it's fucking torture. Bug reports get ignored to meet deadlines or because you bruised a dev's ego by pointing it out, everyone in the company treats you like shit because you're basically nobody, and you barely even get to play the game. You stress test for bugs. Some guy who was testing one of the newer Halos literally spent over twenty hours shooting every gun in the game at the moon in a multiplayer map to test if the game would crash.

Everyone who works at the bar with you hates the music too. But the thing is that being in that environment behind the bar puts you in control in a sense. It's very liberating.

Even if not, it's a good training ground since as the bartender you are in the position of power over the customer. They WANT your attention.

HATE
- Moms. Moms are the worst. I think there's some sort of post-pregnancy disease that infects Moms' brains that makes them unable to understand what you said the first time you said it. Also, Moms LOVE to have their little social cliques come into the restaurant all at once, and usually they bring a pack of kids with them as well. The kids have one goal and that's to destroy everything in your store while screaming.
- Dudebros.
- Snobs. Especially if its a fast-food place. We both know embarrassing it is to be here at all, so why be a massive douche and act like you're royalty?
- People who ask numerous questions and change their order multiple times, but don't tip
- People who mumble
- People who cannot read the menu. I've gotten over the fact that most people have no idea what my place serves beyond your usual advertised shit. That's fine. But I've had people ask me about things that are readily and easily displayed up on the menu. About items that are very clearly displayed. And it's never anything particular, or something that would actually require a bit of asking, but it's always "do you have that" or "I don't see it". Frustrating

LOVE:
- Most Regulars. Usually they know exactly what they want, have the correct amount of money, and are amiable.
- People who have worked fast food before. I'm sure every fastfoodbot in this thread has learned how to order quickly, efficiently, and politely just by working at a shit job like this. If you're a fastfoodbot and you still order like a fucking idiot then kill yourself desu
