Fast food worker thread.
Tell us your stories, good, bad, the ugly. Whether it be managers, co-workers, customers.
Also secret, topic, I had a interview at KFC on Sunday, and they called me in for a 2nd interview this Wednesday.
Do second interviews generally mean they want you hired?
Also does KFC drug test?
But also fast food stories thread.
>Do second interviews generally mean they want you hired?
Yes.
>Also does KFC drug test?
Probably depends on the owner. Some fast food jobs drug test, others don't.
Be prepared to absolutely hate every single day of it. It's literally the worst work imaginable. The pay is shit, your bosses treat you like shit, the customers treat you like shit, your coworkers will do as little as possible which means if you have any integrity, you're gonna have to pick up a lot of slack.
I used to be a manager at McDonald's.
Late at closing a woman called so I answered.
She said her son got a chicken foot in his nugget.
Which is a lie because nuggets are made of scrap.
So I said okay and then she threatened to shoot up my store.
Jokes on her, I want to die.
The best part, I did what I was taught.
"Thank you, is there anything else I can do for you?"
Then she said she was gonna kill me now.
I told my other manager and had a good laugh.
I'm still alive.
Well, that basically describes every job I've ever had. Ironically enough the one time the bosses and co-workers were cool was when I worked at an Arby's in 2010.
Every other job, I've always had to pick up the slack for lazy shits, and I do, because I just try to work hard and do my best in all parts of my life. I don't always succeed, but I don't ever half-ass things.
Anyway, thanks. I don't smoke pot or anything, but I've been using RC Benzos (not even sure if they show up or test for those), for my social anxiety. So I could just stop taking them for a few days, even though I have legit Social Anxiety (just no doctor or health insurance), so I have to buy RCs.
I could buy some St Johns or Kava to maybe help.
Thanks for the answer, man.
>literally the worst work imaginable
Not even close. You can fuck off, smoke dope by the dumpsters, chat with your coworkers. Warehousing at Amazon is so much worse.
KFC isn't even the worst fast food chain to work for. Chipotle is legendarily shit to work for, as far as having a manager up your ass about quotas and schedules all fucking day.
>Jokes on her, I want to die.
Lol.
Nice. She just probably wanted free shit. Funny story, I once emailed a local McDonald's and said that I found a hair in my Big Mac, and when I went to go up to ask for a new sandwich, I said the employees refused to make me a new one.
I was sent 2 free meal tickets in the mail, and got a call from the Corporate Office in my State, and an apology letter from the Manager at the McDonald's, which he then actually signed his name on, meaning he typed it up (or had someone type it for him) but he still had to eat it, and sign his name.
It has funny because in the letter, he wrote something like "I take pride in my restaraunt and our food, so my first thought was, how can this happen? I am saddened and ashamed, but I hope you will continue to be a loyal McDonald's customer."
I had the letter and free meal tickets saved and took pics of them and showed them in a thread like this once, but that was on an old phone. :/
The only food place I ever worked at was Domino's Pizza, this was like ten years ago. Shit fucking sucked and I got paid minimum wage.
The worst story I ever have is some people called from a hotel and ordered a pizza. I don't know where the fuck they were from or what they were expecting, but they started to ask for all these cheeses that we simply didn't have for the pizza, and no reasonable person calling a chain pizza store would expect to get.
>can I get grana padano and some grilled tomatos with that?
uh sorry, we don't have that.
>*long irritated sigh* fine, I guess I'll just take some pecorino romano
I'm sorry, but we don't have that either
>JESUS CHRIST, what kind of place are you running there? Fine, I'll just have some grated manchego.
Ma'am, I'm afraid we don't ha-
>JUST SEND THE PIZZA FOR CHRIST'S SAKE
So I send their pizza out, and about ten minutes later I get a call back from them.
>Yes, just wanted to call and let you know that you didn't include any parmesan with the pizza
ma'am, you didn't ask for any, you asked for various other cheeses that we don't have.
>well I figured someone intelligent would include some FUCKING packets of parmesan cheese, have one of your drivers stop at the grocery store and pick us up a thing of it and drop it off on their next run
WUT LOL, no, I'm sorry, I'm not sending a driver out to pick you up a full can of cheese to drop off
>WELL I'M NEVER ORDERING FROM YOUR ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN!
Well, you're calling from a hotel, so you're probably never going to anyway *click*
>Warehousing at Amazon is so much worse.
At least they pay you a living wage.
Ausfag here.
I work at HungryJacks, basically BurgerKing. I don't know much about BurgerKing but I'm assuming everything on the menu is the same?
>warehousing at Amazon is worse
It isn't. I worked at Amazon for about two years before I went back to school and it was the easiest job I ever had. They trained me to ride a reach-truck, and that's what I did all day. You know how you're supposed to pick a certain rate, like 40 items an hour. Well on the reach-truck they count all the items on a pallet, and that's all you have to pick. So you're getting a rate of like 800 when you only need 40. Then after about eight months I signed up and became an Ambassador and was on the Safety Committee. I walked around in either a green or black vest and taught people how to drive the cherry pickers or fucked off with a clipboard all day for ten hours in the aisles. I got paid like $15/hr for doing fuck all.
