Thanks, shitheads. Glad you're able to eat burgers in restaurants and don't have to feel uncomfortable around your unmasked family members so people like me can have a much harder time.

I'll believe you "have to" in the sense you'll lose your job but it feels prudent to point out that you don't have to in the sense to cover for bad management.
I had this realization a few years ago and ever since then I'm a big fan of the lose-lose situation. Will I get in trouble for this? Yes. Will it fuck over management 10 times more? Yes? I will absolutely (not) do it. If you're at least somewhat not at risk of losing your job, there is no counterstrategy to sinking the boat to spite the captain.
If it's food service you can't really just not do the work of other people. Those meals have to get out there, it can take longer but that just means you're done later.
Yeah it's why I put the qualifier in there. Not feasible for a lot of jobs (without getting fired)
In theory, you get your coworkers on board. But that requires doing some agitating and... being an agitator is fucking hard. Its awkward and touches a lot of nerves and requires a certain set of skills that need to be refined over time, often through the hard way. It also guarantees an open adversarial relationship with management that adds lots of stress.
At the same time, if you're already in an openly adversarial relationship with your boss and there's an underlying sense of agitation due to the crazy workload...
Its not a question of "everyone gets done later". A lot of it is simply clients piling up in the drive-through line and new people refusing to get in line because the wait is so intimidating. That cuts into store revenues without affecting the amount of time you spend doing your own job. If you really want to be aggressive about it, you can straight up put a warning sign in the window apologizing for the long wait times - thereby guaranteeing you reduce your customer load.
You can also just... give food away for free or undercharge for it or otherwise fucking with the profitability of the business on the DL in a way that hurts management without subjecting you to the abuse of clients. But, again, all that hinges on the whole staff being "on board" so to speak. A tough first hurdle.
Okay, this is assuming you work fast food.
I thought that was in the premise.
"Sorry, I told you I could only work until 6 today. I'll see ya tomorrow! 🙂"
The fuck kitchen shift ends at six?
Bakery, or pastry chef. Gotta come back at 3 am though.
