As long as you aren't working you aren't being recognized by customers outside of work. When a customer has a bad experience they don't forget your face. They give you a hard time outside of work as well.

>> No.9930806

I don't know about embarrassing, but what about a job where you scan and bag people's expensive items while you make minimum wage. You could never afford the things you work to sell, basically. When people say "wage slave", that's what I think of. Fast food workers can pay for the food they serve, at least. Then again, some slaves got to keep a portion of their crops, so I guess that's a modern form* of that after all.

*Without the whole forced to work or you're beaten, obviously.

It’s a slap in the face when you are “forced” to choose a fast food job, but I don’t think it’s that bad. McDonald’s is the only fast food job that’s stigmatized. I’ve nevwr walked in as a customer and felt embarrassment for any of the staff though.

Cause liberals think a minimal skill job intended for entry level aged people aka kids should provide a livable wage for a grown adult and their family.

I worked fast food when I was in high school for a few years. It wasn't really that embarrassing at all. I had a lot of fun with my co-workers and the work was pretty simple. The vast majority of customers always treated me with respect.

I never treat adults I see working at a fast food joint but they should feel embarrassed. There's nothing wrong with working fast food when you're a kid learning some skills to advance to the next rung of the ladder. By admitting the minimum wage should be a livable wage for an adult you are admitting the best a grown adult can do in America is be a fast food worker. Despite the fact droves of immigrants with no fucking money came here with whatever skills they had and figured it the fuck out, with and without minimum wages.

I'm a security guard right now. I'm quitting after I realized I was embarrassed to tell my family what I did over the holidays.

The difference is that retail and fast food are seen as transitional, temporary jobs. You can say "Shit sucks. I was laid off so I'm stuck at Whole Foods for a bit until I find something better." Whereas security seems like it's a job for people that gave up trying to find anything better. And if you were one of those failed cops that became a security guard, you might as well just lie and say you're unemployed since that's less embarrassing.
