So I went to Wendy's

[Fajita Jim]

For a spicy chicken sammich. I went in to get it to go because I like making my own drink so I can get the right amount of ice.

Guy behind the register stood there pecking on his phone. He finally said "I'mma get wif u just lemme finish this text".

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ A.

Man, someone should come along and fire everyone there including the manager!

Unless it's just a tax front, then the franchise owner should go to jail too.

If I had the money I would open my very own fast food shop right next to it, that serves the same menu for a fraction of the price, out of spite!

You know this reminds me of a story of someone doing just that, and the manager had his staff firebomb the place and they all went to jail and 5/9 of them died in the first month.

Also the manager's franchise burned down and he had neglected to pay for fire insurance as well.

Never tried a Wendy's, even when I was in the US. There is one near me now in the UK, but I'm back on my diet for now so can't try it anyway.

Grab a clipboard and a bunch of official looking documents. Take pics of strange things in the store, like the ceiling, tiles, and seat cushions. When you get to the counter call the employee by their name and ask them to suggest a menu item that doesn't have pickles. You'll get amazing food.

First mistake was going out to get fast food.

I know I know but you cannot beat that Wendy's Spicy Chicken. Can't.

Not even with chicken fajitas?

They have security guards trained to ask for credentials in the franchise locations that haven't been intimidated out of having security guards.

Make sure to look for one that doesn't.

He should have sanitized his tables and bolted them to the ground, that would have staved off the flames.

Ahh. Yea I'm not used to that. We don't even have security guards at our local banks lol.

Yes actually it would have. MCD uses a flame retardent sanitizer that builds layers when applied daily, as a corporate policy meant to stop instances of insurance fraud under the franchise.

Bolting them down helps stop updrafts, and the layout vis a vis the tables is specifically designed for fire safety and to create a central cooling area such that a full-building conflagoration from hitting the 'ignition point' does not occur.

Yeah, so many people ran scams to intimidate people out of having them that a side business intimidating people into having them sprang up.

Like, for safety's sake. Nobody's gonna try and rob a chicken shop if there's like four big buffed armed trained guys in a store that only holds like 20 people.

Meanwhile if there's nobody there they'll try, and they'll wind up herding everyone into the fridge and shooting them because they panicked.

Was "security guards in a fast food restaurant" ever a thing in the first place? I've never seen that, going back to the 80's. Seems like it would be a new thing nowadays, with everyone being paranoid. But even now, I've never seen it. Just a couple places in a particular suburb closing their lobby at dark.

But I've never lived in a big city, so maybe that's it. /shrug


edit: heck, back in the 80's, we didn't have security guards (er, "resource officers") or metal detectors in school, either. The football coaches just had the secondary title of "Assistant Vice Principle in Charge of Discipline." :D

Security has been an increasing field every decade for the past 200 years, in line with population growth.

I'm glad you have the luxury of living outside of a city; if only there was enough space and money for everyone to do that.

Which there isn't; by design.

It's also a popular scam in rural Alabama, Massachusets, and anywhere else that is a hotbed of illegal activity.

So you're doubly blessed to be simply immune to the US's primary purpose.

Then he shouldn't be there.

Doesn't matter how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the job, if you show up, do the damn job and do it right.

I don't know what happened to work ethic, but some people gonna be surprised to find themselves 40 and flipping burgers because they won't take work seriously.

^-- This.

Back in the day, a lot of fast-food workers were high-school kids and some adults that usually worked two jobs. The high-school kids got some money and experience and the adults were getting by doing whatever they could. Only a few adults and manager-types ever worked those jobs for very long. People worked the job and went home, occasionally late after partying with co-workers after-hours...

Today, with some persons in those positions (not all) it's as if a customer is privileged to be there and it's the customer's fault that the employee is not happy with their own life choices.

Don't like working fast-food? Learn a skill that people are willing to pay more for.


Side-Note: I don't think the current minimum wage standard is set high enough, right now, in the US. I also think that the current entry-level job market is not as broad as it used to be for people just entering the workforce. That's due to the disappearance of brick&mortar retail and commercial services, that provided a wide-spectrum of jobs, and the rise of "online" opportunities, which take experience to find and navigate.


To sum: Young workers complain about their entry-level jobs. They blame everyone else. But, they don't understand, and few even recognize it, that the entry-level job market today IS NOTHING like what it was years ago when people could at least make a meager living working an entry-level job.

Bookstores, petshops, mom&pop retail (non-food/gas), music stores, game&toy stores, video/music chains, arcades/recreation, virtually everything now purchased through Amazon or downloaded on their smartphones... used to have a brick&mortar store that was very likely within a few miles of where young workers now live.

Those are gone. Thanks, internets, Ginormous Chain Retail Store, Spotify, etc...

What's left?

Flip burgers. Cut grass. Pick one or learn a marketable skill for your entry-level workforce job.

If the story is true, use your phone to take a pic of him and send a feedback.

He is busy with his phone, he won't know you're taking a pic.

[↑↑↓↓←→←→BASelect]

That was your first mistake. Your second one was thinking they will take your order.

CFA has a better normal chicken sandwich but Wendy's spicy is way better.
