Boomers still think fast-food jobs are part-time things that teenagers do for some pocket change. They literally do not grasp the idea that there are adults working there to pay rent and buy food.
Well, maybe they shouldn’t, and should go find another job that pays more, you know, like normal people?

How out of touch are you?

  • nobody works there because it’s their life dream. If they work there it’s because of some benefit like having some money vs no money.

  • who should be working there then? Like, someone has to. Who do you think belongs there?

  • Personally, I don’t mind doing an reasonable amount of work - it can be cathartic like exercise or give a sense of purpose. The problem is, the employers want people to be like hamsters on a wheel, driven to exhaustion and then disposed of for the next rodent to be worked to death.

    Workers are being abused - ghost jobs, inconsiderate scheduling, impossible requirements, no overtime pay, manipulation, and so forth has corroded the social contract. At some point, there is just no point in working.

    I belong there, as would many other people, if society was willing to treat us fairly.

    I agree. I wasn’t trying to shit on the job itself, but point out how fast food workers are treated. If fast food workers were treated like human beings, i bet people would love to work there.
