How was it working in Wendy’s or other fast food?

Worked at Raising Canes and Arbys as a cashier / fry cook respectively in summers during High School ~2011

The time never felt quite worth the money (7.25$ an hour at the time), but it taught me a lot about the world and my place in it.

I’d recommend anything else.

Taco Bell, quite a while ago. I learned there is such a thing as USDA Grade D meat. It was right on the label, five pound bags of a greyish granulated sunstance.

I put in my time at Dairy Queen in the late 90s. Lots of good lessons about customer service, working fast, how to have a good attitude and also aspire to leave the job, how to swap stories and jokes, what (rightly or wrongly) makes someone think you are or are not worth fifty cents an hour more to them.

I was fortunate that I did have a path to a better summer job, to be clear. Working there as an adult trying to save up for an apartment rental would be much harder.

Worked in mcdonalds as a teenager. Pretty cool to learn how they SOP everything, it was nice to make mega burgers for friends. As another commenter said, working on the tills is tiring and the customers can be rude. My friend was the fry guy, not nice. Cooks had the best job at that time. Wasnt the worst job, but id choose (and did choose later) manual labor over it as a min-wage job. Better prospects, you learn more and keeps you fit.

I’ve worked in fast food in the past. If your customer facing they really want you to smile. It’s hard work. And people are quite rude.

Have had a few friends who worked fast food. FWIW the only ones who still enthusiastically eat at the restaurant where they worked are the 2 who worked at In-N-Out
