Why do fast food restaurants allowed anyone

To be manager? They have 19 year old working as a manager,. They don’t take the job seriously, you need to talk them about changing you double and they think is a joke. The other day they forget something and have to yell for for them to help me we need real managers

Because smart arrogant people like you will not work at a restaurant.

So why don’t you go and be one instead of whining?

I can't believe they even have workers. I work in a sit down restaurant and at $30-$50 an hour we cannot find workers.
I don't want to work too much as I bought crypto and proxies - all went up.
As a poor, I never had retirement offered and I just had to take my chances. And there are so many of us investing and getting the heck out. Also, I'd rather do ubereats than work in a restaurant as a manager.
There are so many options for the lower class to make money right now, specially in DC.
I remember moving to US and needing a job in late 90s, any job. I couldn't even get a job handing out fliers for a DVD shop in Dupont Circle for $7 an hour.
Times have changed for better I'd say.

Because it's difficult to hire in those positions.

And if you're representative of the typical customer, why would anyone want the job?

Yes exactly. Customers treat you terribly, the job comes with virtually no social status.

I worked in retail and food service in college and actually really liked it. It's a puzzle with moving parts that you have to figure out how to make work as efficiently as possible while still satisfying intangible goals like making customers feel good about themselves. I could have seen myself staying on and working in a management position. But while most customers are okay, about 10 percent think you are just a member of the scummy underclass there to serve their every whim. And then when you tell people what you do, there's this visible let down, like "omg I can't believe an intelligent person would waste their time with that." I would have had to have a lot more self assuredness than I did at the time to deal with that. I became a lawyer instead, haha.

I'm still really nice to retail and food service workers, though. It's really not just about tipping (though those are always nice of course). I treat service workers which actual respect and it changes how they interact with me. The world could be a very different, better, place if we learned to respect and appreciate all work. If we treated the person at the counter at McDonald's or a daycare worker or a janitor with the same respect we treat doctors and lawyers. While the training and skills are different, the value of the work is honestly not much different. Often service work is much more valuable on a societal level because it makes society function. Yet we treat people in these roles as though they are barely human. It's very counterproductive.

Yesterday, I was at the Drive-through buying Dave Single for $1, and the guy had one airpods on of course, it looks so un personal when you're listen to music at work, I wanted to say something, but I am done caring.

Because anyone with a brain is in college or has some cushy entry-level "lazy girl" / remote do-nothing job making the same money, if not higher wages and long-term fringe.

Working in fast food with gross food, the smells, the messes, plus underclass staff and underclass patrons sounds absolutely miserable. While your franchise owner boss is a multi-millionaire off the passive income.

The people who eat fast food don't care about nutrition, so it's a little ironic you care about the caliber of people serving you the food. Also note the cashiers are a rung higher than the staff in the back actually touching your food. Lovely huh...

First, don't yell at fast food workers, if you do you're an ass.
Second, WTH kind of service do you expect at a fast food place?
Third, please repost, this time in English.

I wish the poster who thinks we have plenty of affordable housing in the DMV, and the poster who is mad that the person making $22/hr to manage the McDonald's isn't more "professional" would get together and compare notes.

Out of touch boomers: "Why should fast food workers expect a living wage?! It's only a job for teenagers! Adults who want to support themselves should find a better job!"

Also out of touch boomers: "Why are all the fast food workers teenagers?!"

When you're buying fast food, everyone in the building has more respect for you and treats you better than you do yourself.
