Is it as stressful and hectic as it seems from those POV vids? Why aren't kitchens ran more efficient or spaced better?
>>22049354i had to run the fryer and the grill myself at rush hour when i worked at mcdonaldszoomers also picked up on my autism and bullied menever again
>>22049354Stressful no. Hectic yes. You get used to the time pressure but i was never comfortable with the heat and noise. That's why i only lasted a year before quitting that job and food service entirely.
>>22049365How did you get bullied anon?
the experience was demeaning and my health declined. i guess that i wasn't strong enough to keep doing it. people who intend to make it a career move up the ladder, the organizational chart, and sit in a room watching cameras and counting money and time, basically efficiency, and aren't on the floor that much except to teach new people. i also put in a fair effort and got told that i was average, and also they started giving me hours that ended in something like 1 am, and i was going to college at the same time. a lot of people there weren't the type of. people who become extremely successful but weren't total fuckups either
i was there from june or july until march, i think, eight months, not a long time, not the shortest time i saw people there either. i still cook and wash dishes to this day, where i live not in a business
shout out to the frat that ordered 1,000 chicken nuggets, or was it 2,000, something like that, which i spent one or two hours cooking with c. when the robots come for these jobs, they will not be missed, as long as welfare is expanded or a universal basic income is implemented
Looking back I just don't understand why anyone does it. Years and years of parents and teachers telling me "you need to try hard in school" was NOTHING compared to 2 years of fast food in high school. In terms of "complexity" working in a kitchen isn't difficult, but it requires constant focus and being on your feet for hours at a time. I still dread thinking about the full screens of orders, my acne flaring up from all the grill steam, fryers beeping, cleaning vents with lukewarm water, changing out the soda, and moving dozens of boxes on truck day. I met a lot of cool people but a lot of people who pissed me off. Some of the most retarded people I've ever met. It was an experience but I'd never want to do it again. I don't understand how someone could spend their whole life doing it. In college I did maintenance for a hotel, it felt so crazy having the autonomy to work in rooms and do things on my own for an entire shift. Take breaks when I wanted to. Didn't go home smelling like grease. 401k matching. Got to learn tons of tradie skills. I now work a comfy white collar job and still wince when I'm out to eat and hear a receipt printer or an appliance beep.
>>22049424Any good retard wagie stories?
>>22049423Gayest post I'll read in quite a while
>>22049428My favorite memory, probably the guy who spent the past 3 hours opening produce had like a dozen pans of onions, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Just as he's about to start wrapping everything this new girl, probably like 4'11 90lb, runs over with one of those heavy 10 pound commercial bags of ketchup. Apparently she tried to lift it up onto the counter but ended up kind of throwing it so when it landed on the prep table it knocked a few pans on the ground and exploded all over the rest. You couldn't even tell what was what. It looked like that one gif of the Dominos guy spilling barbeque everywhere.
Hectic maybe stressful not if you can handle a fast paced environment. I’ve moved on from the food/service industry to warehousing and shipping and it’s plenty comparable as far as being hectic only difference is I’m on a forklift for 10+ hours some days instead of standing at a station.
>>22049424>Years and years of parents and teachers telling me "you need to try hard in school"So you don't end up working shitty kitchen or construction jobs like an ex-con or druggie for your pittance.
>>22049582>construction>shittyI honestly miss it sometimes. Decent pay, no stress, take off as much time as you can afford, no management/hr lording over everything you do. Easy to stay in shape without sacrificing extra time at the gym is also a plus.
>>22049588In my experience it was filled with people who couldn't get a job anywhere else and it showed. Maybe the crews I worked with were shittier by bad luck but the people were what made a job that could have been fine into an awful one.
>>22049354I worked french fries at McDonalds every Saturday as a young lad in grade 10.I hated the hot environment. But it wasn't stressful, no.
>>22049590Ah yeah shitty people can make some days rough I won’t pretend otherwise. I shifted from a more general labor position into the residential electrical forld. I wouldn’t be upset if I never had to argue with a builder/homeowner because they want something that’s literally illegal/against NEC procedures again tho.
>>22049354>Why aren't kitchens ran more efficient or spaced betterBecause everyone who is a line cook is on hard drugs or a drunk.Also kitchens are generally the "afterthought" when it comes to space in a restaurant, owners care about maximizing dining space but not kitchen space.>>22049423>he believes UBI is comingLMAO, normies will go back to being serfs before they get free money for existing.
>>22049771Money is fake at this point so why not
>>22049365>zoomers also picked up on my autism and bullied meYou chose to not bring a gun to work, you chose to be bullied
>>22049354>spaced better?the tight spacing is part of the efficiency, retard
>>22049582That's what I meant. I really focused my last couple years of high school because I didn't want to work there my whole life lol
>why aren't kitchens ran*run*
>>22049410They would call me unc, misgender me (im cis), make me take out the garbage every time
>>22049903ESLs struggle.
>>22049525Thank you for your service
