I see scorn for fast food workers (and not just bad fast food workers) - people making fun of them, insulting their employment, etc.

Why? At least they are working rather than sitting at home drawing a check. Most of the FF workers here do their job just fine. I saw a young brother who works at our Popeye's doing custodial work at a truck stop/convenience store - two jobs.

I have respect for people who work, and do their best to do their jobs. It is a loafers who should be the subject of our scorn.

BRB, gotta sack up a few more fries.

The majority of fast food workers have really shitty attitudes while they serve you your shitty fast food.

Good to see them actually working though.

Go to Japan and then get back with me in a comparison of FF workers here vs. there.

I use the term "brothers" in front of the brothers here on a fairly regular basis.

I respect people who handle my food. But the experience is different between McDonalds/Burger King and Chick Fil A. Way different.

Shitty fast food workers get my minimal respect for doing what they should do (work) and nothing else, same as I hold for anyone who doesn't try to perform their work well.

Those who work hard and clearly take their job seriously get nothing but respect from me without regard to how little they might make.

Because they keep fricking up my order. It's not rocket science to get a #1 with fries and a coke correct.

Because they are absolute shite except for Chick-fil-a, and maybe canes.

They want too much money to not fix the shake machine. They should be replaced by robots. Robots that run on the flesh of fast food workers.

All fast food places are the same, Bubba.

Do you have certain fast food places that you save your "good" jeans for?

Chick Fil A and Cane's both tend to have decent workers

I've been to Japan. Go look at a crowded Japanese parking lot and compare it to one of ours. You could go on a long time with those type comparisons.

I ridicule and scorn people on an individual basis. You make shitty threads.

I treat them nice all the time.

I bet most people do.


That's a hard industry people-wise.
