I went to Southern Classic today. My order included "unsweet iced tea, extra ice." The concept that people order ICED tea to have ice in it is apparently foreign to the employees. Employee hands me the tea and it has a partial ice cube - obviously whatever ice was in there melted. So, I ask for a cup of ice. "You have to get back around the drive through." I said I just want some ice as this tea has no ice. There is a few seconds discussion and the reply is "it was hot." "Ok, drain half the tea out and add ice please." "It was hot."

I just drove around, went inside, drained half the tea out, the put the ice in.

I consider myself sympathetic to fast food workers and am generally treated well, but most of the employees at Southern Classic will serve an unsweet tea with zero ice.

This isn’t about restaurants. This is about a whole generation of workers who are lazy. Doesn’t even matter the industry. It can be an office setting. They see what a person 20 y their senior gets and want it too. And demand it. All while playing on their phone half the time.
The ones that actually have a work ethic stand out like a sore thumb.

Aren't you a crippled retard? They were probably intimidated. Not like they train for that combination.

This is so dead on…
I work in the service industry where we pay well, give people a great work environment and we can’t get people to just work the minimum…it is beyond frustrating… their job is not that hard…just do it.

Tip culture has screwed workers and customers. Restaurant owners are accustomed to paying servers next to nothing, and customers are accustomed to making up the difference. When you suggest just paying servers more, owners act like you're trying to take their house, and complain about having to raise the price of food. It's like they don't see slightly less profit as an option.

Tipping culture is an American thing. It's not like other countries don't have restaurants, or their restaurants are outrageously more expensive. You can make good food and pay your employees a basic wage, without having expensive food. Figure it out.

Yeah, for sure, that didn't exist until 2010... Oh wait. Try more like at least a generation of parents have been shoving iPads in their kids faces since near birth, generating a pool of retards that can't interact with people.

we pay well


Ballpark, what do you pay? Anything less than $20/hr is highschooler working fast food pay. Say a young person has bills of $2000/mo. That's very tough, but doable. That's $24k/yr in bills, so if you're not paying them at least double that, they are barely making enough to live.

give people a great work environment


There's no service industry job with a "great" work environment. Good, enjoyable even, sure. But not great. How much PTO do they get? Health insurance? Professional growth opportunities? Continuing education? How does management respond to complaints? How does management prioritize hours physically present vs. real productivity (butt in chair vs. actually getting stuff done)? What opportunities are there to let off stress while working?

It can be both but I don't think the two issues are related. iPad kids are a problem, but if they bring out your food in a timely manner, why do you care if they look you in the eyes or whatever?
