      paying your bills and feeding your family shouldnt' be dependent on fucking tips. People regularly don't tip just because they are dumb fuck lead poisoned assholes.

      Employers who pay their employees less than a living wage absolutely deserve to get the most mediocre work possible from their employees. If you want to pay someone $10 an hour and schedule them 30 hours a week so they don't get benefits then don't come whining when they don't give a fuck about your shitty business.

      If you want exceptional work then pay exceptional wages.

      Servers are only about 20-30% of staffing so I'm not sure what your point is here other than to imply people working in fast food are lazy and if they were on that grind set they would just mosey on over to a 4 star restaurant that definitely doesn't require 5 years experience serving at another 4 star restaurant.

        People working fast food work way harder than servers or bartenders and they also work way harder than cooks in a sit down place, all of those people work really fucking hard, I'm a cook, I know, but the average McDonalds employee is all three at once and the volume is at a level I can't even understand dealing with. There isnt a decent chef on earth who would say they work harder thsn a fast food worker, I've done fine to high midscale my whole time along with extremely fancy catering and everyone doing that stuff even respects the absolute hell out of fast food workers. As I posted above, I'd rather teach a fast food worker how to cook good good than tracj a fresh culinary student how to handle a busy service.

        Damn, he got removed by mod before I went the absolute fuck off on this idiot. I work high end stuff and have been blessed to never have had to work fast food and can very reasonably say those people work SO much harder than we do and we work really really hard. I couldn't do it and no one should even have to, those conditions are nuts and kitchens aren't a ballpark to begin with. If there's a fast food gig on your resume I take it as a huge plus, if you can handle that, the stress aspect is already handled and the rest is learning how to cook. I've met plenty of people thst did culinary school before working any kitchen jobs and someone who is pure theory and full of themselves is way worse thsn someone who had grinded it out before but needs to learn how to food. Teaching people how to cook is esybessier thsn teaching people how to deal with kitchen bullshit.
