the thing that radicalized me more than anything else in my life was working in kitchens
Every time you say “burger flippers” unironically is one more time that I dunk your hand into a steam table turned up to max when I find you in hell
Funny, out of all the jobs I've had, the lower the pay is the harder the job tends to be. Thats not even taking into account how shit you're treated for being on the low rungs of societies ladder.
Not to mention the pandemic should make it clear how much our society turns on this shit instead of tech disrupters finding innovative ways to get around labor laws
If one serves 40 burgers in an hour and gets paid min wage for it, jeff bezos must be serving some quadrillion burgers an hour. such a hard worker, that man.
love how we denigrate feeding people while hedge fund managers make hundreds of millions for cruelty
I remember not only flipping burgers, but also cleaning the kitchen, and trying to adhere to sanitary guidelines and them telling me to still come to work while sick.
Sorry SWEATY, why don’t you go learn to code? These jobs are only for teenagers looking to make a few extra bucks to pay for a car! Minimum wage is NOT meant to be a living wage!
Just typing that out drains me, fuck retail/fast food. Go eat noodles at home you yuppie dipshits
Food growers and makers are always denigrated becuase if they were well compensated you would have a more hungry grumpy populace. Not the fat cows being led to slaughter like we do right now.
No this is a bad take. Food should be cheap, but workers should be paid well. These are not an either or situation (which is what I think you're suggesting in your comment). Government has the responsibility to keep necessities affordable, so food workers should be compensated, and food should be sold at a set, subsidized price.
What you just said is a bad and horribly informed take
America has some of the cheapest food in the world. And some of the most cucked citizens. All of the garbage Americans consume, corn and soy is heavily subsided. If not food costs for Americans would be above the AVG of 8% of their budget
So which am I wrong about, that food should be cheap, or that food workers should be paid well?
on one hand fuck fast food.
on the other it's super fucking super god damn impressive how many people those workers feed
I've never had a job that compares with the tempo and self-sacrifice of a commercial kitchen.
