[Anonymous No.18294343]

The only thing stressful about these dumb jobs is dealing with retarded customers. If you fuck up or don't perform adequately nothing bad actually happens. (No, the customer isn't actually allergic to onions he's just a faggot and too much of a pussy to be assertive.) Which is why these jobs are ideal for young wagies that either have "anxiety" about nothing, or already started their downward spiral of degeneracy and have no ambition.

I don't think anyone stereotypes baristas as "lazy," the stereotype instead is of liberal arts majors that can't find a job in their field.

I've never worked in food service, but I've worked in retail for nine years. It's the easiest job in the world for what we get paid. Occasionally you have to deal with some retard for five minutes, but that's about the extent of the stress. Like any job, it's only actually stressful if you have a manager with a stick up his ass. Unless you're working with heavy equipment or other people's lives, you don't have a right to complain about your job being stressful.

It's a cycle.
Fast food used to be a fun novelty for white people to use once in awhile for a meal substitute or treat.
As society degraded, the customers became more entitled, and subsequently more catered to by restaurants, giving way to the awful "the customer is always right" mentality that essentially made the service industry a slave-tier profession. This, of course, means all competent help evacuated the declining fast food business, running to bars, restaurants, food trucks, mom and pop locations, and pretty much anywhere you would meet the owner of the company within 2 weeks of working there.
Now, fast food employs the worst employees at the lowest pay possible, serving the worst people possible at the lowest standard possible. Even when you catch someone genuinely grateful for the job or happy to be in this profession they are inevitably spotted and scooped up by someone with more to offer in the industry. I really dont feel bad for anyone who works fast food because they're either entitled shitheads who take a shit job, knowing it's going to be shit, and collect paychecks while selling weed on the side for zero net effort, or they kill themselves out of loyalty to a soulless machine, corralling shitheads for menial pay and no real reward.

If you work at a job you hate for more than a year you should neck yourself.

You need to understand that for anyone over around 40 or so, Trump's rise to fame is shocking and bizarre. To most in their 60's+ it's even more surreal. In their day politicians simply didn't act like that and the whole form of political discourse has completely changed in their lifetime.

If you're under 30 this will probably seem extreme, but to a lot of older folks Trump is much closer to Terry Crews in Idiocracy than most of the politicians they knew over their lives.

Ones who agree with the Trump agenda think it's great because he finally says the quiet parts loud which they want to hear, but the ones who don't are understandably shaken. I know this probably won't make sense to you, but whatever. It's reality.

What you don't understand is it wasn't mostly fake kindness and civility. People used to be able to discuss political differences in opinion without it turning into villifying the other person. You see it as better because you think it's more honest, they see a whole generation of people who don't understand how to have civil conversations over differences in opinion. To them it's close to the end of the world and I I tend to agree with them. American politics in particular is utterly imploding and may well sink the whole country. I feel genuinely bad for them.

There's zero point in having a civil conversation about difference in opinion when people are so far afield from what you believe. It's not worth the time.

Food service was one of the last jobs ever wanted to have as a career after working jobs in that sector during high school, mostly because of how much work it is.
I get paid a lot more as an engineer and it's infinitely less work.
That said, money isn't supposed to reflect how hard the work was for you. It reflects the value of what you did.
A lot of low value jobs with low levels of training and large pools of prospective workers able to do those jobs are extremely high effort while also being very low value.
Putting in lots of effort is something most anyone can do with a gun to their heads if nothing else, so you don't get much compensation just because you run around doing a lot of busy work.
Now if you're doing hard work that's very dangerous and scares off most everyone else from doing the same job as you (e.g. ice road trucking / Alaskan crab fishing), then your hard work will pay a premium.
But being a McDonald's wagie isn't quite scary enough to drive away tons of new employees hired each day worldwide. It's soul killing and very unpleasant maybe, but usually not an immediate threat to your life.
