People and their laziness and stupidity.

Today, my nerves are on serious edge. I'm twitchy, and easily agitated. Some reasons I really don't know, but some come from events of today.

How are you going to go to a fast food place, and specifically request ALL of your order to be fresh?
-_- Why did you come to FAST food, requesting it to be fresh... Think its a fair request? Not how i see it.
All the food served out IS FRESH. If you didn't taste it then, you won't taste it now. And if you specifically say it, my bigger question is "Why didn't you make it exactly how you want it at home?" Its a LOT cheaper, and you can make it to your exact specifications. I know this, because i have done it at home several times. Burger patties can be $10 for 10 patties, Buns are cheap and are in packs of 8 or 10, veggies and condiments are cheap. Now, you can get 2 burgers, 2 sides and 2 drinks for about 10 bucks. See the savings ALREADY on meat alone? You can use the money on 10 potential burgers (of great tasting quality, mind you.) or get one meal that MIGHT fill you up. What? Chili cheese fries is your thing? Frozen fries in the frozen food section is a few bucks. Shredded cheese and a can of chili. Fry your fries in your "fry daddy" or w/e else you can fry in, put it in a pan, pour your heated chili on top of the fries, and toss on some shredded cheese on it, and put it in your oven on 350 until cheese is melted. AND you have a serving larger than 3 large chili cheese fries. You can get full on half of that alone. Or have burgers AND CCFries for two or three. You will spend a lot of money on fast food and why? Because its convenient?
Your willing to get in your car, drive here, and pay $3 for a grilled cheese, and drive home? Get out the skillet and make 2 or 3 of them. get full.
There is no meal better than one you make yourself. (unless your just THAT BAD of a cook)
Dishes. Okay, that's a drawback. But gee whiz, letting the thought of cleaning a few dishes sway you to spend your gas, time and money on a nutrition less, fake-filling, preservative loaded, over-priced meal?

Someone has to do the dishes, and if you clean as you go, the end of them won't be so bad. Home baked birthday cake out of the oven, personalized to perfection... Or:
A cold, pre-made cold cake with "Happy Birthday" only on it, that could be for me, you, kid next door... anyone.
I prefer to bake my kid's cake myself. I have done it for the last 4 years of his life. And my dad did his first one. I hate the pre-made finished crap. so impersonal. like store bought cards with $10 in it. like saying "Hey, this was a card i thought you would like, and $10 because i don't know you well enough to get you something you like, and I'd feel bad if i just sent you a card, or nothing at all, so HERE YA GO!"
Sometimes, its the better option, especially with postage on a package- yikes. Its cheaper to send a card and a gift card than a big box that could get swiped. Just a tip for that- Jerks look for those "Happy Birthday" cards, they know there's money. So tampering with the mail is not a big deal when it comes to getting a hold of Jimmy's birthday card from Grandma. Money spends no matter where it came from.

I like knowing whats in it. I want to know whats going on, and if i feel comfortable enough to do it myself, i will. If i were more comfortable changing my oil and rotating my own tires, I'd do it myself. Save money. if your not comfortable enough to get a skillet and make a grilled cheese sandwich, or a pre-made hamburger patty on a George Foreman or a skillet, or an open flame grill...
Maybe you should eat all the fast food you can... Overload your body with all the preservatives and oils until you want to sleep all day, and then you'll be so bad, you'll call the stores and complain that they don't deliver your $40 order to your door. Or your $5 order.
Don't be so lazy guys, don't eat yourselves into an early grave just because it's there.
Sweets, I love them. Ill eat cakes cookies, all kinds of stuff, (expert candy. Never really was a big candy eater) But fast food, i have been trying to veer away from as much as possible. Because i hate the way it makes me feel when i eat it. I feel tired, fake full, bloated, and hungry in 2 hours.

When people ask for fresh shit, that's what goes through my mind. In a split second; half mental, half oral, but all there. As getting the request, you think "that's your job, just do it" I say to you" you want fresh food? I want fresh money off the press. Go home it make it your own GD self."
I'm a smart ass about it too. To make your bacon burritos, I will harvest the flour and make the tortilla. Then ill milk the cow and make the cheese, and shred it for you. THEN ill slaughter a fresh-born piglet (its FRESH right?) for your bacon, and pull the eggs fresh out the chicken's ass, and cook it ALL fresh... FOR YOU.
Look, a-hole. I have procedures i have to follow. And one of those is to keep orders under 2 minutes. and all this "fresh" shit your bitching about, will take longer than that, and you are not the only customer waiting on their order. Don't be selfish and waste a cooks time because your too lazy to make it yourself, but too picky to leave that comment out. Our curb time may not mean anything to you, but to us, if our times are bad, we hear about it and people have lost their jobs because of that number being too high.
We know fast food. Let us do our job, you do yours.

Something in your food? That is a common problem. (Unless you made it yourself)
I thank the customers who come in and calmly tell us they found a bread tie in their burger, or their food was made wrong.
Those people understand that shit happens. We take care of those customers because we want them to come back, and not be discouraged from ordering that item again.

To the pricks who FREAK THE HELL OUT about it- It will get you nowhere. Being all pissy about it will only piss the cook off and make him want to hork in it even more than he already wanted too. Ever see the movie "Waiting..."? Cardinal Rule: Don't fuck with people who handle your food.
We satisfy your grumpy ass to get you  the fuck out of there and pray you never come back.
Those people never worked fast food a day in their lives. They will never understand where the fast food industry comes from.
It is a stressful job, and very demanding for such low pay. (granted there are much more demanding and stressful jobs out there, I'm just stating it isn't as easy as it seems)

Maybe we can say to them "you know so much about fast food... please! come back to the kitchen, and 'LEARN' me to do it."

You get a coupon anyway, but don't come in and LIE to get free stuff. That is just low. Not to mention stealing. The poor little waiter/waitress making BELOW minimum wage (due to tips) has to pay any missing money out of their tips (if any) and if that isn't enough, it comes out of their pocket, and if THAT isn't enough, its out of their check... Or they are fired. I'm not sure exactly, I have seen all of those happen.

Being lazy at work is quite another species of laziness.
You are paid to do a job, and if someone has to go behind you and do your job FOR you, then that someone should be making the same or more than you...
I work hard the time i am there, and you are going to strut around like your hot shit with your big check and clean hands, while I'm laying in the mud at minimum wage? Piss off!
And got the nerve to tell me to do YOUR job because it makes your life easier? I say again... PISS OFF!
Sometimes I'd like to kick a fool in the throat, and laugh as you gasp for air.
And lets not forget the childish antics of hiding things from your coworkers. Hiding stuff your coworkers need to do there job? Would you hide a mechanics socket set? Would you replace a surgeon's scalpel with crayola scissors? Neither would I, but some people would find it remarkably funny.
Don't be a baby because I question your ability to be Mr. Fix-it. It isn't my fault your idea of repairing something contains the same logic of a cave man with a rock.

Stocking is EVERYones job in fast food. EVERYONE's Cleaning too. Managers stock and clean too. They are paid to do it BETTER than the rest of the crew. I have seen both sides, day crew, and night.
Night says day crew is lazy and doesn't stock. So they don't think they should have to. Day crew says the EXACT same thing, with the same outcome. Both are lazy because they don't stock, and to teach them a lesson, they wont stock for the other. So no one stocks. But me and 2 other people.
Funny enough though, when I stock, the next day, it is stocked! OMG! Its a freaking miracle!
No, its logic. Set an example, do what you want done.... And it will be done as well. I throw the logic at them all the time, and it doesn't get through. Just stock. Its already your job. Just freaking do it.
