Today was my last day

What I have learned from working in fast food.

1. Never ever eat off of those plastic trays. Ever.
2. Never ever eat off the tables either.
3. Have pity on the drive-thru person. It's harder than it looks.
4. Nice comments make the employee's day.
5. The reality of sexual harrassment is closer than you think.
6. Minimum wage sucks.
7. So do taxes.
8. People who order huge, very specialized orders and then zone-out when the cashier repeats it often complain later when their order is slightly wrong.
9. There is no refund system, so don't ask for your money back; the only person who gets penalized is the one person who usually isn't responsible--the cashier.
10. English speaking people often complain when the cashier's english is less than perfect. Spanish speaking people have to deal with the same problem.
11. Never eat at fast food, ever.
12. In theory the idea of sanitation is uplifted, but in practice it is often more convenient to forget.
13. If your boss happens to be the manager of a fast food restaurant, and he happens to be 45 (and this is the farthest up the corporate latter he has reached), then in all likeliness he is incompetent, and don't expect him to help you out like a real manager should.
14. Spanglish is over-rated.
15. Never eat off of those plastic trays. Ever.
16. People often take advantage of the cashier's paid kindness, and end up with more than they payed for (for instance, two drinks, instead of the single drink they payed for).
