Food and Drink Has anyone here worked or does anyone work in fast food?

**RNR** · 08-24-2008, 10:01 PM

Do they train all fast food workers to hand you your change and then while you are trying to put your money away shove your drinks at you? I have learned to just put my money away and then turn around and get my drinks. Just about every time they stand there arms sticking out and when they see I am not pay attention to them they they shut the window and return later with my entire order. I just do not understand why they seem to be driven to hand me my drinks when they can plainly see my hands are full

I suppose they're trained to complete the transaction as quickly as possible.

I worked at an Arby's once, as a kid. Lasted one shift. I never even went back to collect that night's pay.

at a drive thru?

I give them their cash money and either wait for them to look before I give them their sodas or just stick my arm out until they are ready to take it.

What was so terrible about it?

Usually it seems they give me the drinks when I give them the money, and then they give me the change afterwards.

Last time I got fast food it was money, change, drinks, and then food etc.

Yes at the drive thru, it is no big deal and maybe it is a local thing. It is just something that gets on my nerves a bit. I am never rude because I know they are kids and are making shit for wages.......that and I dont want them to spit on my food

Other than the pitiful pay, constant disrespect, and nasty working conditions... nothing.

It was a part time job, I was 20 and had a full time job that paid about three times as much. (And the working conditions were light years better.)

I worked one shift, and said, "**** this."

I hate it when the stripper walks away when I ask her if she has change for a dollar.

**Rain Man** · 08-24-2008, 10:15 PM

I worked in fast food for about five years, ending in 1979. I was a cook, so no one ever gave me money and I never gave anyone drinks.

I'd like to work in fast food. I could use a promotion.

Probably try to get your ass out of there or the line will get backed up...never has bothered me. Only thing that does is ****ing up my order or not sealing the tops of the cup all the way

**KcMizzou** · 08-24-2008, 10:21 PM

As a side note, I did get another part time job working in retail. It was at "Venture", a Walmart-Target type franchise that went out of business years ago. It was much more enjoyable.

I mean the pay still sucked, but it was clean, and my coworkers were fun. Met one of my ex gf's there. Good times.
