My help wanted fast food experience

I went back to work today

Yay

I've survived on canned quarantine food for a year.

Got vacced

Yay

On my way home saw all the help wanted signs on on the restaurant and convenient store signs.

So I stopped at the local Burger King for a cheese burg.

I'm not a big fast food igit but wanted some food and show support.

IT WAS HORRIBLE

Took 15 minutes to get the burger and it was cold and mostly mayo.

The kids apologized - and they were kids. Making minimum wage.

Fuck Burger King and every Min Wage Slave Wage business out there.

or some fried potatoes but they are not sharing any $$ with the workers.

Greedy to all- the business got your money before making you wait and giving you a cold mostly mayo burger .
The Burger King did not give you good value for your money just like they do not value their workers.

The path to a fast food hamburger has only gotten worse and more abusive since this came out 10-12 yrs ago imo
look at the ignored covid outbreaks in the slaughter houses recently 2020 -2021
Many dark sides to this gigantic industry including continuing poverty wages
