And that's why they work at McDonald's.

The fuck!

I worked at McD what of it? If someone’s working and paying bills then don’t judge them.

I’m a software developer now but not only through hard work as I recognise a certain amount of luck played into how I got where I am now and without that I’d still be working minimum wage somewhere.

There's nothing wrong with working at McDonald's.

But it's a fact that people often work in fast food because they can't get a job elsewhere. That doesn't mean they don't deserve a living wage, but it does mean that people who alienate potential employers by being intentionally obnoxious are more likely to end up there.

So you're saying you're unemployed?

[-] hakase@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Not at all. I'm quite gainfully employed, partially because I'm not intentionally obnoxious to my clients.

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 29 points 1 week ago

So you are able to not be intentionally obnoxious. I honestly wasn't sure.

Just everyone that isn't "your client," huh? Is "your client" in the room with us?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

All his clients are in Canada.

Sorry to tell you, but you do appear to be rather obnoxious right now, though whether there is any intent behind it, I am unable to tell.

It's weird to conclude the story takes place during a recession.

We don't have time for an interview through the McDonald's drive-thru, my friend; you're clogging up the line.

It means they were probably unable to get any other job due to purposefully being an obnoxious pain in the ass.

[-] TherapyGary 47 points 1 week ago

I would hire them. They're not only hilarious and quick thinking, but smart and principled too

You seem like an obnoxious pain in the ass who can't take a joke. It must be hard for you to hold a job.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 14 points 1 week ago

Why is working at McDonald's bad, they still have a job

Go on... Why does this explain why they work at McDonald's?
