Hungry customers
Just kill yourself now and get it over with.
Dealing with stupid people and stupid shit literally all day
I doubt you last more than a week
Is it really that bad ?
Just pretend to be in spongebob and the customer is always right.
Gonna feel real greasy by the end of the day after being around all those fries and burgers. Hopefully you don't have to clean the shitter. Honestly, if you have to get a shit tier low wage job, at least get one that will get you fit and in physically good shape. I clean pools at the moment and the work is shit but god damn am I in shape from doing 20 pools a day.
Fast food is possibly one of the worst places you can work. The managers will always treat you like shit because they hate their lives and customers will always expect you give them first class service even though most there are making min wage at best. If you're working the grill/fries be prepared for some serious acne.
I worked at Mickey D's when I was 16, only there for like 40 days before I got tired of that shit
Niggers. You will work with niggers.
At first you won’t mind.
But a week into it you will crave peace and quiet. You will want to do everything yourself so it gets done properly. And most of all you will hate them.
pro tip sell cocaine at your work get a decent customer connection. get good money. thats what im doing but its sunset boulevard.
Plenty of ops for poontang pie.
Pain and regret
Your first step to being a fucking adult. Enjoy the pocket money, and not having to rely on mommy and daddy for every little thing you need.
Why are you settling for a job at Burger King faggot?
Humiliation, Exploitation, Starvation Wages
Here's a tip. Be observant to the business and your fellow employees. Be the one who takes that extra step because it will benefit you. Especially towards anything you hear the boss complaining about. This will give you leverage at asking for a raise, moving up positions, and negotiating with another job. Plus, when you need something like time off or a shift change your manager will be more willing. This job is a stepping stone for you and nothing more but the experience will help you get a different one. A lot of times it's not all about working hard it's about working smart. And always remember your experience as in customer service so you have empathy for others who do it.
Plenty of ops for poontang pie.
OP don't do any of this. It's a fucking min wage job. Treat it like one.
How old r u
You're right. Don't act professional so you can't get a good reference. What a fucking idiot.
Why would OP being above and beyond at this job help with another job? Wherever he interviews next isn't gonna call up his fucking burger king manager and ask how he was, he's only going to look at what position it was and for how long.
It's a fast food job, it doesn't require OP to do more than the minimum
>Reference
Nobody gives a single shit if you have a fucking reference from Burger King. Literally no one anywhere. Get your head out of your ass.
As you can tell these people have not moved up far in life.
Depends what he's going for in life. If he's planning on staying working in food or customer service, then yeah I guess he should do those things. If he's legitimately aiming for and focusing on a higher tier job, I'm not so sure he'd want to do all those things. Most of my potential employers I interviewed with at logistics companies were not impressed in any way by my positions in retail.
get ready to be treated less than human
The position doesn't matter (unless he moves into a leadership role) but the work ethic does and since he's starting out it's a good way to move up the ladder as a teen in customer service. But someone who was a shift supervisor at 17 will rate higher than someone who just worked there.
You're telling this dude to go the extra mile for a fucking fast food job. Bet money you've never worked a job like that before, ever. It's far more likely OP quits or gets fired before the month is over anyway.
As you can tell this boomer hasn't looked for a job since the 1980s
Burger
>shit supervisor
>17
what fucking country are you from?
Actually I did from 16-18 then started working Night Audit at a Hotel at 18 while going to school. Also worked part time at a convenience store to save up for a car and guess who got all the hours and shifts that he wanted.
Grease
Random fat old ladies will talk to you like you're their manservant and you have to just suck it up.
I can get behind the work ethic part. It'll definitely expose him to how shit work is and how to deal with it. I just don't see aiming super high in a min wage job as something truly worth while. In most places, or at least the ones I worked at, you would have to work for the same place in the same position at nearly the same wage the entire time for years before most employers would consider promoting you to a higher position if you're in a min wage job. Also, if he's posting on Sup Forums, I doubt he has the social skills to place himself in the center of attention so he becomes the "favorite" to be chosen for those rarely open positions. Maybe I'm jaded from my experienced in shit tier jobs lol.
And do you still use that fucking reference today? Didn't think so faggot. It's burger king, you show up do the minimum and get the fuck out.
Smoke crack on your lunch break. It will help you out.
This. Chug a couple of beers too.
Its shit, working in any fast food/ costumer service sucks.
Hungry people = angry people
Kids acting hard, making fun of you. That was my experience and such shit. It Will fucking suck, 2years experience when i was in college
Yeah, I've worked there. You will:
a) See costumers at the counter
b) Clean icecream machines, the whole estabishment "parts" (broiler, spoons, the stuff that keeps the burgers hot, tubes, tomato/onion cutters [take special care with these ones! super sharp])
c) Clean tables, get the trays people leave on the table etc
d) Make the hamburgers themselves
and, finally
e) Work the broiler
...
It is POSSIBLE to work at Burger King, but only if I'm at a place it's strictly necessary. I worked 2pm-11pm and it gets tiring. Also, am not going to spoil the surprise if you work on the closing shift lol
May the gods be with you
It's not aiming super high. Majority of customer service workers are shit and lazy. When you aren't you stand out. Plus working makes time go by faster than just fucking around staring at the clock like a lot of people do. They just don't care and that's a bad attitude to develop.
Now? No, that was over a decade ago. Before I got of college? Yes. Every one called my previous jobs for references.
forgot about food prep, getting the bacons ready and cleaning the place itself up
dont listen to these drama queen ass looking neets, it may suck ass but its not all that bad.
>Now? No
So you admit you were wrong, thanks
What everybody in the thread listed.
It's a shit tier dead end job, don't aspire to make a career or something long term over it. If possible, save for when there is something better.
Always be on the lookout for a better job, get a fat solvent and anti-acne soap for basically your whole body and avoid the niggers and ayylmaos.
It might turn up to be hell, or it might end up being great for the easy pussy. Remember to wrap your junk, and this is dead serious, you would catch all the STDs/STIs in the medical encyclopedia.
No where did I admit I was wrong. You are not very good at conversing.
Alright, I can agree with this. Maybe I'm just so lazy that I've come full circle so I work really hard to get things done right the first time efficiently just so that I can be lazy.
Yes you did admit it. It's fucking Burger King. Odds are high OP isn't going to work there his whole life. Nobody cares about having a reference from a shitty min wage job. It's not 1980 anymore. Stop giving shitty boomer advice.
>expect you give them first class service even though most there are making min wage at best.
Well yeah that's literally your job. I don't understand why bitches cry and whine about their jobs and do shitty work; you don't like it then get a better fucking job.
Oh right, you're a lazy cunt and bitching is the only thing you put effort into
If there are no costumers make yourself look busy cleaning. The boss doesn't care if there is actually anything dirty, they will think you're lazy if you stand around not doing anything.
Look at this loser. I guarantee he dies alone at 51, still working as a waiter
Easy there Jr.
And this is why you don't work for big companies that employ faggots as managers.
In my job when there's nothing to do, we sit around with the boss and do fuck all cause there's actually nothing to do.
1) some customer WILL destroy the bathroom with shit.
2) a customer WILL tell you your worthless
3) your world view Will change for the better
4) your going to want to kill at least 1 crew member in a week
Why are you talking about his entire life? It's his first job and he's likely to move on quickly so the experience and reference will help him onto the next job. No one is talking later in life. We're talking for the next few years.
This.
There are going to be countless niggers in every direction speaking in their indecipherable mother tongue.
OP this is a bad place to ask for advice because you have an overwhelming majority of losers who settled in life and have never applied themselves or achieved anything. There's also cops watching us, so hi to them.
It's not that bad, you gotta start somewhere.
For real.
>I deserve a better job
>a job where I like, own something or make something I guess, and I make 200k a year
>this fast food is beneath me, why bother being a good employee?
Has nothing to do with the job, it's literally work ethic. Lazy dickhead slobs don't get very far.
One more thing. You WILL see shit that will
Make you never want to eat fast food again.
Yeah, I think socially we should push young people to work food service because the shitshow is good for your young adult emotional and mental development.
From my experience here are a few more:
1.) Know when to say no, you will be taken advantage of if you show any semblance of being a workhorse
2.) Most customers will treat you like an NPC in a video game they are trying to speedrun. Dont let it get you down.
3.) Your manager is useless, 9/10 times nothing they say will actually be useful but you will have to listen to them.
4.) Remember its not your franchise. Dont freak out too much when everyone drops the ball. They will daily.
>there are no costumers
Is it Halloween already?
Look i've never worked fast food but ive been in a fast food place at around 10pm. there'll be a couple and i don't think two costumers is going to demand all your attention..
>apply for Target over the course of 4 years
>finally "you've been selected for an interview!"
>it's a hiring event with 100 other people, and you're interviewed in 3-person blocks
Any one here been told to"kill your self!" Buy a customer? (My second week)
This is why you don't work for big companies.
you probably should with that grammar.
But really, when I worked food service I did have a manager tell me I was going to never be able to stay in college because I was a retard. Jokes on him that franchise closed and I graduate in the spring. Fuck those guys.
Thank you.
You gonna get robbed by niggers.
Get a cert, any cert, in your spare time ASAP and get the fuck out. Food service is the worst industry to work in the first world. You'd be better off working literally anywhere else, including retail.
Also, yes, I can confirm that as long as you are not reprimanded or fired, no one gives a fuck about your wagie experience. I have witnessed a coworker get a real job, strip out of her uniform in the store in the middle of her shift when she heard the news, threw it away, and walked out. No one at her knew job (who must have known) gave a fuck.
I was kidding.
Customers seem to forget that you are a human. I have never gotten "kill yourself" but got a few close to that. Just dont let it get you down.
A job is a job OP: You will get out of it what you put into it. There are parts of the job which sucks, but if you maintain a good attitude, the job will be a lot better than if you hated it and your life around it.
The last thing you'd want in your Burger King burger is someone's foot fungus. But as it turns out, that might be what you get. A 4channer uploaded a photo anonymously to the site showcasing his feet in a plastic bin of lettuce. With the statement: "This is the lettuce you eat at Burger King." Admittedly, he had shoes on. But that's even worse. The post went live at 11:38 PM on July 16, and a mere 20 minutes later, the Burger King in question was alerted to the rogue employee. At least, I hope he's rogue. How did it happen? Well, the BK employee hadn't removed the Exif data from the uploaded photo, which suggested the culprit was somewhere in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. This was at 11:47. Three minutes later at 11:50, the Burger King branch address was posted with wishes of happy unemployment. 5 minutes later, the news station was contacted by another 4channer. And three minutes later, at 11:58, a link was posted: BK's "Tell us about us" online forum. The foot photo, otherwise known as exhibit A, was attached. Cleveland Scene Magazine contacted the BK in question the next day. When questioned, the breakfast shift manager said "Oh, I know who that is. He's getting fired." Mystery solved, by Sup Forums. Now we can all go back to eating our fast food in peace.
>Poor people making poor food for other poor people.
Prepare to be yelled at and despised by the people you're only trying to serve. Your soul will leave you by the start of your 3rd hour. You're about to get an introduction into The Bell Curve by Murray and Hernstein. Poor people are less intelligent and therefore irrational, belligerent, and prideful for it.
I once gave the wagie behind the counter at McDonalds a New Zealand 1 dollar coin that was left at my banks coin machine hoping for a free hamburger. She noticed it the second I gave it too her and kept looking at it, flipping it around and probably mulling it over in her head what to do but after about 20 seconds she just put it in the cash drawer and took my order. Just goes to show that sometimes looking like and schizo is useful. Thanks for reading.
>sometimes looking like and schizo is useful
So much fucking grease
Those are the worst fucking interviews. Tells you right there you shouldn't work for them. Any job that does group interviews, don't even waste your time.
If your still here. You will be fine.
(OP)
A job is a job, man. You're doing your part in staying alive and having financial security. The only people shitting on you will be poor cocksuckers with an inferiority complex that need to get their fix by shitting all over you. You need to stand above that, you're doing absolutely nothing wrong by working there. It's not your fault that they need to make you feel like shit. Nevertheless, it can be a good experience, so just pull through it, keep a smile, make the best of it and wish hell upon those faggots that make you feel like shit
>Zoomer seething
At least you are not a millenial.
No one is shitting on OP for working at Burger King. All we're saying is don't treat it like a fucking career. The managers don't give a fuck about you and they will fire you over the stupidest shit.
Do pic related and be set free
Sorry man, but experience as a entry level fast food worker isn't valuable to anyone except another fast food manager and they only want to hire you for the same job. It's a complete dead end. I have experience in both, and there's no part of working in fast food that's a "stepping stone" to anything but some vague notion of self improvement through patience. Best thing you can do is try to find a job doing almost literally anything else.
There are three types of people who work in fast food: 16-year-olds, people who just entered the country, and people who just exited prison. Which one are you?
I guess he means the customers he will be facing.
This will be more factually true if it's a BK near a guetto.
If it's in the ghetto than OP is doubly fucked. Only the absolute lowest and/or dumbest people around last at those jobs.
Hmmmm...who think was him...?!!
Unironically this
It's good mental practice but it's just literally NOT how 99% of fast food corporate works. Even implying anyone would want to be a middle manager husk of a human, which is practically the only job impressing your bosses at Burger King can get you.
Should you try 110% at everything you do and take control of your life seriously? Fucking duh.
Should you work at Burger King. Fucking no.
>First job
>Settling
Yeah, doesn't matter if it's your first or last job, you're still settling for whatever you can get rather than going out to get what you want.
So you work at Burger King for 5 years, does that make you any more qualified to be a mechanic, an engineer? no, you could start doing those things if you tried hard enough. But you're not, you're just settling for whatever's nearby.
this is funny, but if you're seriously depressed and hate your job and your life, this would actually really improve it in a meaningful way lmao
To have something to put on your resume and not be a usless waste of skin for the rest of your life.
I'm not saying he should work at bk forever and move up the management ladder. I'm saying to be the best at his shitty job, get real work experience, and move on to bigger and better things. Being a good worker with a strong work ethic carries from job to job, and it shows in the way you present yourself.
My first job was a shitty car wash. I actually worked hard and showed up, I became the manager, and years and years later I've moved on to better jobs leaving a trail of positive work relationships behind me. I've got several potential fallbacks because of that, in case something ever goes wrong at my current job.
Meanwhile, the coworkers I had then were all lazy stoner slobs and they now have lives ranging from being a stripper to being waiters and bartenders.
Or conversely making extra scratch to reduce the amount of debt he'll be in after studying for those jobs.
You're 100% right. Leaving a trail of positive work relationships is just a fundamentally good practice in life, and reinforcing that habit will allow you to work jobs with much larger scopes of responsibilities / impact (aka, the higher paying ones).
I don't know what your car wash job was like exactly, but it was probably different than the corporate structure a lot of fast food places, like burger king, have set up. It's essentially a slave drive with suites putting the clamp on managers with completely arbitrary quotas and goals, and managers cracking the whips. The turn over rate is absolutely absurd, so the real best thing you can do to improve your chances of promotion at burger king is not quit, and it's how you get these burn out 40 year old managers who keep telling themselves, "I just need to do my best at burger king and my life will improve."
What I'm trying to say is, you can practice a good work ethic at burger king, but you could do it at a much better job... like a car wash for example.
friend, ever been to Indiana?
To add, once you leave your job at Burger King, your time there as a reference on an application is worthless to anyone but another fast food manager who is going to be concern primarily with "how long did you stay, why did you quit, and how long and how hard can I work this person at my store?"
Where as at many jobs you leave with a good reference or story, you leave fast food with only, and sincerely only, any self improvement you may have squeezed out of your time there, plus your slave wage.
I'd much rather hear about an applicants time at a car wash than their time at McDonalds, if only because it's more interesting.
