Another prime example of why people don't wanna work for slave wages



This video is about a decade old. But this is also one of the biggest reasons why people don't wanna work for minimum wage anymore. Dealing with these fuckin nutjobs. And well we know antivaxxers/maskholes are just like this.

I'm very polite to the people who are getting my order. They do get a lot of abuse from assholes out there. Too many don't have any respect at all for people making low wages. It's disgusting to treat people that way, and it's also not very smart. Do you really want to piss off the people who are making your food?

My cousin use to be a manger at one of our local chilis restaurants. I'd go in quite regularly to see her and I knew all the staff. Normally got free drinks and food since I usually tipped them over 30% and I've seen things like this in the video. They knew I wouldn't say a damn word since I saw most of those extremely nasty individuals treat the wait staff like lesser people. I didn't really care. I think if you treat people awful. You get what you deserve. A big ol hawked loogie in your fajitas

Let's just say I've seen some things. And a little good will from a customer does go a long way.

I mean I understand some of the frustration of these places that brag about serving breakfast all damn day but not serving regular food in the morning but I don't take it out on workers.




*Jack in the Box is about the only drivethrough that serves anything edible in the morning. breakfast in general sucks, and breakfast from drivethroughs is the worst.

who can just not work due to unfavorable conditions. I mean there’s never a person who love work or it’s rare. As long as people can afford not to work, why not.
