        It’s easy to mistake the scale of skill for jobs that actually require work when you have never actually worked one.

        as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices… working in fast food isn’t the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.

        however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right

          I don’t mean anything insulting to the workers by it. I’m just saying that high schoolers can handle a job like that easily. And used to before the economy went to shit.

        One time we were busy AF, the owner comes in and tries to jump in and do the fry station. Not cooking the fries, just scooping and filling the little containers. He was pretty useless, realized he was just in the way, and apologized.

          Honestly, I’m just impressed the owner realized he was useless, and apologized. The franchise owner I worked for was an unpleasant, angry individual who would have just yelled at his overworked and underpaid employees for not keeping up with the lunch rush.

        Tell me you never worked in food service without telling me you never worked in food service. Only clowns think it’s simple or easy.

      The only person I would suspect would lie about working at a McDonalds is actually Donald Trump because he is a compulsive liar and avoids having a stable relationship with reality. For literally anyone else, I don’t doubt it for a second, it’s just not worth lying about.
