This a McDonalds, not some high end establishment.
I think that's kind of the OP's point. Even McD's used to have some standards 30-40 years ago.
When simply getting an order right is now considered the height of expectations, the bar is pretty damn low.

Kids don’t work anymore. Those jobs are now “for a living” jobs.
I flipped burgers and delivered pizza in high school and trust the new types of service workers wayyy more than I would trust us back in the day.
Let’s just say you’d better tip and be nice or there would be consequences you may never realize next time.

Reality being they can still look like a dumb arse and still get your order right.
According to my personal metrics, orders were correct more often back in the day, than in recent times.

how does Waffle House get such efficiency out of their tatted up methy types from the same employee pool?

Because McDonald’s doesn’t pay their employees shite so that’s the applicant pool they pull from.
Would you send your son or daughter to take orders from assholes that frequent McDonald’s all day? I wouldn’t.

You realize McDonald's was a minimum wage job back then too, correct?

Minimum wage then > minimum wage now with inflationary considerations measured. Not the same.
I find it interesting any time the question of pay arises there’s always a boomer on this forum that starts talking about “back then.”
The minimum wage in 1997 was $5.15 which holds the same power as $9.68 today. $7.25 today has the buying power of $3.86 back then. Minimum wage isn’t a good argument.

You do know that your kinfolk working at McD are making quite a bit above minimum wage don’t you?
Posted on 5/23/23 at 6:26 pm to notiger1997
No lil guy, I didn’t bring minimum wage into the conversation, one of your fellow boomers did. Try to keep up.

You realize you're a moron, right?
What does that have to do with anything?
Minimum wage is the lowest tier of job applicant pool. You argued:
The applicant pool is the same, regardless of inflation. It's lowest paid unskilled labor both then and now. Why would they have a better applicant pool back then?
The answer is because of social decay.

I’m going to let you think real long and hard about this one.
But the answer is they don’t pay shite combined with population growth. There are a finite number of jobs, but there are certainly way more jobs now than there was then. There are 70mm more people here and the applicant pool that would have worked back at McDonald’s in 1997 have better options now.
I know lil guy, math is hard and so is thinking outside the box you boomers stuff yourself in. Everything is the way it was back in the day and nothing ever changes!

Ask the boomer contingency that parrots minimum wage, like the boomer who responded to me did.

Are you saying today we have:
A) more job positions available per individual person today as compared to then
B) more individual people per available job positions today as compared to then

And this is why the left is insane.
If normalized face tattoos aren't a sign of social decline, what is?
If the majority of people in society looked like this:
You'd just think to yourself: "This is fine. Looks like a normal healthy society."

I’d argue that if people with face tattoos are actually holding down a job, that is a positive trait of a society. Even the fricking idiots are at least working.

I actually asked this once on Reddit. Got some good responses too. Best response was pretty much “I have no hope. If I have extra money, might as well spend a bit on it for something I want because otherwise I have nothing to work towards

Indians or Sikhs would do the same, but also run a Subway and a gas station in their spare time.
