Nasty people at work.

I work at McDonald's and I swear some people at my work are so disgusting. One guy has something mentally wrong with him and he literally dresses like a 5 year old. He wears no socks. His underwear is hanging out of his pants sometimes. If he's wearing a belt it will be all twisted. And he smells. And I don't mean underarm odor. There's another guy that is a MANAGER and he had bad body odor today. There's a woman that is always slobbering and doesn't change her gloves. No matter what she touches. And puts her face and mouth on the food trays that she has to pull out to make food. And she puts her bare hand that she probably doesn't wash right on the fries when she grabs them. Come on people this is a restaurant! What really kills me about it is that management doesn't say anything to these people.

I’d seek another job. You can still work in the food industry if you want, it’s a huge industry.

@MrAboo well I've been thinking about it anyway. I want to get out of fast food.

@Pecifini I work at a big grocery store. I don’t work with the food, just in the general merchandise department. There’s always something that needs to be done and overtime is attainable quite easily. No being sent home because there aren’t enough sales going on. The people who do work with the food all appear to be well kept, clean, and no 30 year old teenagers. My coworkers are friendly and well kept. Every body does their part and very little slacking on the job. They do talk on the job in the stock room and on the floor. Every one is friendly that I’ve interacted with. After being out of the fast food industry for a year and a half I’m never going back.

I encourage you to do so. Go where they will reward you for your hard work. I worked 2 years at Dairy Queen, they relied on me, but I couldn’t get full time with any benefits and they never gave me any promotion or incentive to stay. Towards the end they increased the pay, but we’re making the existing employees wait while new hires got the pay raise. Not worth my time. Fuck Dairy Queen and ever working fast food again. When I went to my current job they promoted me within the first 6 months.

Good luck.

@MrAboo i had always said that I would never go back to fast food. But here I am. And i regret it. It's not just the nasty people. They are literally slave drivers. I do prep and my boss told me the other day that I needed to get it done faster yet she stops me so I can do ohter things.

@Pecifini part time slave labor describes fast food very well. There were numerous times my manager would have me clock out at the end of the night just to go back to work and finish what I needed to. On my own time. No bonuses, or incentives. The people I worked with were mostly great ppl, but there’s no future in fast food unless you like the work and want to be there and overtly express an interest in moving up. A friend I worked with there liked it there. He was promoted to GM, but was demoted. IDK if he’s still there or not. Not all my coworkers were nice though. I’ll never forget about the obese girl joking about shiving us, or the coworkers who never showed to work, but because we were short on employees in a very small town didn’t get fired. I am baffled at how the restaurant never closed.
