Jayson Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Who has worked at fast food? How long did you work? How would you compare it to other minimum wage jobs? Did you often eat at the same place you worked? Did anyone work as a manager or was in the process of getting there?
The Blackangel Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 I've worked at Pizza Hut 5 times (both as a cook and a waitress), and Sonic (grill/fry cook) once. There was also a truck stop that I worked at as a dishwasher. Other than that, I can't remember any other restaurant work at the moment. I've had a ton of different jobs.
Darth Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 I haven't worked at fast food and it's honestly something that I am pretty happy about. Not because I don't like the job itself but because I can't imagine it being a fun and easy job to do. The stress with having to deal with a range of customers who may get angry for no reason just isn't for me.
Head_Hunter Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 To be frank, I never did any restaurant job before, I don't even dream about it anytime soon. I don't enjoy cooking as a hobby, I see it as being so stressful. I admire women who cooks very well, because cooking is stressful.
Justin11 Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 I love food alot, working in a grocery shop, where I'll be entitled to selling frozen foods, would've been more enticing. If the pay rate is okay, I'll be open any time.
Lamarr the strelok Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I've worked as a dishwasher,cook and a couple gigs at Arby's.The people I worked with were fine but the pay was shit.

That's one of the discouraging factors around some gigs. If you aren't earning better salary for the job you're offering, you wouldn't have that urge to continue. Lamarr the strelok 1
Jayson Posted March 18, 2022 Author Posted March 18, 2022 I've worked some at fast food. However, I'd rather wash dishes or stock groceries, if it's some minimum wage thing. Well, some gig where I simply sweep the floor all day, take out the trash etc. at fast food might work.
Empire Posted June 6, 2022 Posted June 6, 2022 Aren't great earnings, but given that fast food restaurants generally give you meals its livable in most parts of the UK. As long as you're not a single mum or something you can live and of course you don't need to worry about sick pay/maternity leave/health care/holidays etc... So its not as bad as the US, but it could be better and there is currently talk of bring in a 'living wage for london' because living costs are so much higher there.
killamch89 Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 I've never worked a restaurant job before but I always sympathize with the workers because of the stress they encounter on a daily basis in terms of dealing with internal and external pressure.
Clasher Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 I haven't worked at a fast food but my mom is a professional caterer and i use to help her with some baking and other tasks too. It was fun back then and learnt a lot about cakes from her.
Justin11 Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 My senior sister is a caterer too, I enjoy eating her baked foods. At times I give her money to bake stuffs for me like, meat pie, cake, etc.
