Which wagie job is less miserable, gas station or fast food? If someone here has worked both, or if you've only worked at one or the other, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I’ve worked neither but a gas station is obviously a better choice for a career path.

What makes it a better career path than fast food? Not that I think either really give much way for an exiting career path.

I have a special ed friend I went to high school with that started working at Mcdonalds right out of school and now he's the manager or something. He dates cute colleague girls 10 years his junior and makes a decent living.

>gas station
Definitely gas station, but there's lots of theft and people dying, so be careful

>career path
Both have no career path, buddy, it's a dead end job, the best you can do is being the employee of the month and receive a chocolate bar for working to death. The difference is, fast food is unbearable, you'll have to constantly work and do stuff, and you can't even listen to music while you're at it.

Gas station is pretty chill depending on your area, whereas fast food service is a glimpse of hell on earth

Gas station bro

Fast food is going to make you reek of shit when you're done, and it can get very stressful. Also your customers will sometimes be utter subhumans, as well as drunks and druggies during the night shift.
Gas station is definitely more chill, especially if you lock the place and only work though a window at night.

>career path.
That kind of thinking makes you prime profit meat. There is no "carrer path" here. There may be a bunch of empty promises and job title changes if you are willing to work yourself to death. But ultimately you will simply be profit extracted until you are physcically depleted. Then your carcass will be unceremouniously dumped next to the biowaste container.

Just do as little as you can get away with in those jobs, steal shit if you can get away with it and work for a large corp, apply to the next job and run through it if they do fire you for some reason.
Always remember that those "people" would sell your organs to increase revenue, so there is absolutely no reason to not get every bit out of that job taht you possibly can for yourself.

I have worked at a gas station, worked fast food, and worked fast food in a gas station.

I don't know how to rank them but I agree with what you said.

>>34528666
I've only worked gas station (graveyard across from local jail) and it was ok. For both location is going to determine 90% of whether its the worst job ever or a just a regular job. Generally I would say gas station would be far easier.

>most of the time it isnt busy unless you have a shift in the morning or at 10pm
>if you are in a safe area then probably no chance of being robbed, if someone steals something its not your problem
>stock the shelves, clean the floors, clean the bathroom, make batches of coffee, do tobacco and lotto count at start and end of each shift. super easy
>people get their shit and gtfo

compared to

>mostly same work but you also have to cook food
>people will complain about food for any reason and ask for refunds or to remake
>people lingering after they ate their meal
>constantly having supervisors and customers breathing down your neck
>messier because kitchen and customers eating on site
