Working For Fast-Food is the Worst!!
Growing up I've always heard people say that working in fast food is one of the most underpaid and overworked jobs in the service industry. I never really belived or thought of it till i had no other choice than to apply to one. Like any other person, many people complain about how hard and boring their jobs are and how they wish they can just quite. Trust me, untill you work in the fast food industry, you don't know what hard work is. I had just been let go from a form employer, Party City, because it was seasonal, so i needed to find a new job asap. I applyed to retail stores, banks, and a few restauraunts. I got the call from Wendys around my house and i was excited because i finally got a call back and started right away. My 1st day there was hell, i was cashier and the machine was like some foreign object from space. I would be getting voids, punching in the wrong orders, but after a good week or two I kind of got the hang of it. The customers there explode if you get 1 little thing wrong, thats what stressed me out the most. I was 18 when i started and I've been workeding there for about 6months. Ive been applying to many different places but nothing. But i feel that in the end of the week the pay is sweet, and sooner or later I am going to find a better job for me.

I have never worked in the fast food industry but from what I hear and see you are right it is not an easy job. I have seen customers explode on cashiers first hand. I enjoyed reading about your experience with the cashier machine. Everybody who starts a new job has issues at first, but I'm glad you got the hang of it. You won't be at Wendy's forever soon you will find a new job.
Benjamin Franklin said that a penny saved is a penny earned. All jobs are noble. In the end they are means which contribute to a greater end resulting in our satisfaction or gratification. I have yet to experience hard labor for pay but I have seen how money or lack of it affects lives personally and in the media. Is the goal of life to simply make money or are we destined for a higher calling? Money and valuables are a necessity and we should treat it as such and not give it the status of an idol or stumbling block. In conclusion hard work and determination will go a long way and perhaps lead to success.
