It's money. And yeah, if it's enjoyable more power, dude/dudette. I washed dishes in a kitchen for a couple years in high school than go work at McDonalds. Got to hang out with some awesome cooks from China and Japan too. Yes, they got
me addicted to cigarettes when I was younger, but it was fair trade I think.... Wait, is that right?
You probably had more patience than I did working in the customer service industry otherwise known as working at a shitty store or restaurant.
I also used to work at McDonalds and as Landscaper for an old lady. Damn glad I stopped working at the Mc's!
Huu. Landscaper is actually pretty fascinating. Like planting and stuff? Or trimming and lawn grooming, etc?
Pretty much. Earned 10 an hour and earned about 40-60 every other day or two for a month. Beat flipping burgers that's for sure.
Hopefully you enjoyed that better than Mcdonalds because working at mcdonalds must be hard. In fact most jobs at stores and restrurants are probably crappy pay and hours.
I myself can't stand working in the customer service industry. In fact the first job I had ever received was working at a call center full-time during third shift making maybe $9.45-$10.25 an hour. The job certainly helped pay for part of my college but it
was way to stressful for me to do. I quit the job probably about 70 days in due to increased suicide thoughts and feeling very unhappy about it. What really irk me about the job was that I felt like 70% of the time I could not help a certain person feel satisfied
with their service and help people considering it was mostly calls relating to getting people service vehicles to come help them. Also, most of the calls were very strange at night.
Afterwards, I worked at two stores one being a grocery store and the other being staples. I felt like a slave working very shitty hours at the grocery store and then at staples felt like an idiot and lied to constantly about things. Also staples felt more like
a sales position as a cashier rather than just helping someone check out.
All in all it boiled down to not being satisfied with my job and not having the patience to do meaningless tasks or for that matter being lied to or having to lie or persuade customers into buying something for the reason why I quit most of my jobs. Plus, I
never felt right selling something that I know was a bad quality product and wouldn't be improved due to costs. *sigh*
Anyway, I admire those of you who have the patience and determination to hold down a job in McDonalds or a similar occupation because I'm too weak minded to do that.
