I used a ordering machine at a burger king at a spanish airport some time ago. There was still several wagecucks at the counter, i would not fear wagecuck jobs disappearing for atleast another 10+ years

Real Man here

that’s exactly what i feel towards jannies

better working than doing nothing at home

>Tfw used to work in a retail store a couple years ago
>One of the girls working there had just finished her uni degree while I was still there
>I left that job ages ago
>I still walk past that store sometimes and often I see that shes still working there

fren :)

How do you even end up doing fast food?

They must have a criminal record or something.

No. At no point in your life are you beyond help. They are too stupid and lazy to try and get somewhere better. They deserve no pity.

Were do you live lol? (no disrespect). In western europa even in small towns fast food chains have those ordering machine.

For your information, in California, the first fully automatic restaurant opened a couple years ago.

I don’t feel bad for degenerates, why should I feel bad when they age? I see them as motivation to keep working!

I appreciate the sentiment, but the truth is, even if they were a manager, they fucked up somewhere. fast food manager is not a reasonable job for an upright adult. they barely make more than fry cooks and have way more shit to put up with.

It's this. It's stupid shit like DUI, failure to pay child support, getting caught with OxyContin, just typical poor people shit.

Saw a boomer working at home depot. He was struggling to lift a 50 lbs bag of dirt. Felt really bad for him.

i had rather be homeless than work at McDonald's. you can get ebt and gov assistance. but if you work it's harder to get assistance. so it's better to be completely destitute than be a wage slave.

the opposite is true actually. you can get benefits while you're homeless for a few months, then they want to cut you off (unless you volunteer or work somewhere for 40 hours a week). if you're working a shit job they will give you food stamps for life.

Some people just get stuck in their jobs. I've been working as a bartender for 7 years. I felt like this was the only thing I was good at. I tried going to school, but failed/dropped a bunch of classes, so I just ended up dropping out at the end. I've been studying for my network + certification and I've also been networking with the bar customers that come in. Hopefully once I pass, I'll be able to land a great job and leave this shit job.

We have machines that can build airliners, but a burger machine is faaaaar too complex. Theyre modern day slaves. I pity the fools.

do you mean feel bad?

Can't bartenders make bank off tips? Unless you're in some shitty townie dive bar

Yes. I was in CVS the other day buying some benzedrex inhalers to get high. When I checked out the cashier was this older lady had to be 60-70 at least, standing there looking bored and unfulfilled as hell until I walked up and she betrayed her begrudgingness of having to look attentive to me even though I felt like I felt her pain. I thought to myself how I drive uber for a living (right now, hopefully not forever) and how i’m able to make my own schedule, sit in my car and blast tunes while having conversations with cool people all day, and still make more than she most likely makes in a shift, standing there at the counter in this dead end job. Then I go home to my beautiful pregnant gf and plan where we want to move to to raise our first child and have our whole lives ahead of us, while this lady surely goes home to either a fat boomer husband with health issues that she fell out of love with decades ago, or nobody at all, and with the daily knowledge that her years left to live may very well number in only the single digits....All while being forced to work in the bureaucratic prison of the industrial-economic complex that was the Boomers’ very own making and which might’ve served them well once upon a time, but is now likely their final destination before Social Security collapses and their grandchildren can barely afford to make their own ends meet much less that of their faltering once-great elder generation.

Fuck. Man. I used to be excited not too long ago about the impending implosion of the US house-of-cards economy but now I’m just depressed about it and honestly kinda scared shitless. I always have this rotten feeling that we’re end up going to war somehow and this entire country is going to be dealt the kind of blow that will at best cripple, and at best brutally wipe out a good part of the population, and the worst part would be that we would be (hit character limit)

going out not with a bang, and bittersweet emotions about a tragic end to a life well lived...but with a whimper, like finally putting a sick and helpless dog out of its misery.

You guys are weird. Just go into the fucking store and buy shit. You have to romanticize someone else's life? Know there back story?

fuck boomers

they had it great, benefited from a booming economy and could actually graduate college with little to no debt (if they even chose to go, wasn't necessary), buy a car, buy a house and start a family all in their 20s.

if they're broke-ass now they have no one to blame but themselves

where do you think you are?

you've obviously never worked fast food.
I worked at subway for 9 months when I was 19. You were technically allowed a 5 minute 'break' every shift but nobody took them because the owners would watch the cameras and call the store to yell at people not moving.

this, fuck jannies

Fuck people that disrespect Jannies. They are like Rich champagne socialists living off the backs of people attempting to conserve a system, while slandering them relentlessly to show how high and might they are.
Fuck you.

It's Friday.. isn't it pay day for you janny?

Why don't you check your bank account for that deposit? Hell, treat yourself to something nice with that sum.

>assuming my argument stems from defending what I do on a day-to-day basis
I understand you have no leg to stand on, but don't make it this obvious. You literally make the board actively worse by dissing Jannies. kys

I don't know about fast food, but my stepdad, within a span of 10 years, went from doing corporate work at some manufacturing firm to doing retail (idk what he does now though, I haven't seen or spoken to him in years). I don't know specifically what he did at his corporate job, but their company basically fired most of its staff and moved its operations to China, he probably had some bureaucratic job that didn't have any transferable skills, which led to his downfall. Sometimes you end up old and in wageslave jobs because you fucked your life over with crime and whatnot, but sometimes life fucks you over.

i'm 32 years old and work night shit at a burger king part time to supplement my disability bucks that i get for my mental illness.

UBI NOW

I don't get how people work such menial jobs

Like have some self pride nigga

>he probably had some bureaucratic job that didn't have any transferable skills, which led to his downfall.

this sent a literal chill down my spine. My job is pretty dope and super lax, well paid. But I know that in 10-20 years it will be totally obscured (if not sooner, muh accelerationism) and this same thing will happen to me. The worst part is that I don't even care. I am so numb to everything, I'll probably kill myself before the inevitable happens, if not soon after.

Its funny, my job is my greatest salvation and yet my most intense pain & misery. It's allowed me to support myself and buy shit I never thought possible, and yet its totally crushed my desire to live, my urge to create and evolve, and so on. Its very poetic how much I hate my life. So poetic, yet so prosaic.

I'm in a similar place with my job but I'm trying to transfer within the company to something more useful (I'm overqualified for what I'm doing now but got placed here due to shortages). If that's not an option for you then at least be stockpiling crypto ahead of the 2020 bubble so that you have a floor to fall on once the rug is pulled from underneath you.

Yeah I make anywhere from 200-350 a night, but I'm usually drained by the end of the night. I can't be doing this shit when I'm in my 40's

bartending honestly seems like a dream job for a dude but yeah i can definitely see it being taxing beyond a certain age. do you drink a lot? they say it's impossible to become a bartender without also eventually becoming an alcoholic (alcoholic defined as more than two drinks a day every day)

that's not what user meant. factory/trade work destroys your body and you'll have health problems early in life

my company doesnt even have more room for me to move up honestly. im just too lazy to look for something else. livin on a thin line

>be me
>21
>work in deli
>most of my coworkers are 40+
>most started working there younger than me and still haven’t left
>tfw I can’t imagine being 50+ working for people
It’s a sad world anons and witnessing shit like this pushes me to be successful cause I’d kill my self if I worked there for 10+ years

That's literally breaking the law in most states. You should have recorded your interactions using your cell phone's recording ability.

just start squirreling away a shit ton and investing wisely

compounding interest my dude, you start early enough and you can be out of the rat race by 40

Only if you live in a republican utopia. If you live in a comfy blue state you can stay on the gravy chain forever. and also the weather is better year round.

I was talking about moving side-to-side. Many companies let you switch departments if your current one isn't working for you. In some cases, you can even move up a bit by doing this.

also 21, also have shit job and also look at my coworkers in the same disgust

im so fucking scared its gonna be me tho bro. whats your plan? how you gonna get our of the chains? ive got some e commerce websites I think might give me a few years of independence before I ought to sell them and move on. Also trying to learn how to trade stocks and hopefully I can manage to live cheap enough to retire early and get the fuck out of the game. I dont like thinking about having to generate income for someone else and be seen as useful for 50 more years until my kids or some shit are forced to take care of me. im a lazy piece of shit and i wanna sit at home shitposting doing as little as possible after 40 living off of money ive saved.

what are you Werner Herzog?

shieet that sucks. if you had the gift of gab and were charming, you could have applied in high end restaraunts in jew york. Some yuppie friend of mine told me he knew a guy so good at talking to customers in a super rich restaurant bartending, that even when he stole over 100 grand and they fired him, they had to hire him back because the usual customers and high spenders refused to drink there without him.

No, because they're generally illegal wetbacks and I hate wetbacks. If you've been around them, you would know how hateful they are

>that even when he stole over 100 grand and they fired him, they had to hire him back because the usual customers and high spenders refused to drink there without him.
i don't believe this. honestly sounds like one of those bullshit stories people tell each other to blow smoke up each other's asses. if it is true he probably stole no more than a couple of grand.

Back when I was addicted to fast food I went to one specific McDonald's and every day it was a white man in his early 50s probably taking my order. I definitely felt some sorrow for him considering he had to work with all of those disgusting spics that probably trashed talked him in Spanish behind his back. I haven't been there in quite a while but I hope he's liberated himself from that shit hole and gotten a wholesome blue collar job away from customers.

I’m 28 and just got a decent job that started at $43,000 which isn’t bad here in Michigan. My entire life I have worked for half of that. The secret is temp agencies. They started me as a temp at a R&D facility/factory at $15/hour. I got hired in a couple weeks ago after working as a temp for a year and now I make over $20/hour. Not bad for a single guy. Plenty of vacation days too and most weeks I only work 40 hours.

There's a surprising number of sober bartenders. I drink once or twice a week

>itt teenagers and college fags that know nothing about survival

its sucks sometimes having to deal with such sheltered people

shut up tranny janny

FUCK WAGERS

Good thing I get a salary

I want to be a good person like you. How do I do that.

>usually I make the hamburgers myself
