Do you think people want a job where they have to listen to you bitch that you don't have enough pickles on your burger out of the goodness of their hearts, Janice?

You're viewing a single thread.
My mom talks about this shit all the time "flipping burgers isn't a job!", and demeans a shit load of other service jobs. She says those are just for teenagers to buy a car or to save for college (as fuckin if).
But theoretically, if they were only for teenagers and broke college students, you really think those millions of jobs would all be filled by people between the age of 16 and 24? Seriously?
Boomers are living in a fucking dream
My father pulled this gem out on me. I pointed out that fast food restaurants are open for breakfast and lunch, you know, while high schoolers are in, you know, school. And college students are in, you know, school. So by default adults who are not in school must fill 2/3 of the shifts. Surprising how fast he shut the fuck up when he realized that the job was, in fact, a real job that real adults with lives and children and rent were doing. He never said they were jobs for kids in my presence again.
If fast food is for teens in school, why are they open during school hours?
These same assholes wouldn't survive a week working a service job. That shit is hard and stressful as fuck.
the vast majority didn't work their way through school either, and if they did, it was a bullshit job, not the kind of dangerous child labor they endorse nowadays. meat packing, construction, logging, they just want cheap labor.

for teenagers to save for college
Makes sense. Average in-state tuition is about $16000 per year. At $7.25/hour, you only need to work 200 eight hour shifts every year to pay for tuition that year. Add that on to the 180 school days, it's just 380 days a year.
Obviously, you also need to register yourself as a subcontractor via an LLC subsidiary of a foreign shell corporation to avoid paying taxes on that, and you live at home, so all your food is completely free, and everything is on the internet anyway, so you don't need books for college, and your college which is obviously in your town is only a 98 minute light jog away from home.
"flipping burgers isn't a job!"
What is it, then? A hobby? Are these people burger-flipping enthusiasts?
burgerites. it's their religion, and I'm american enough to let people follow whatever deranged deities they want, as long as the fries are good.

Meanwhile, everyone else is living in the nightmare they created.
Literal depiction of boomers eating their offspring so they can take another fucking cruise on a norovirus infected monstrosity
“Save for college” 😂😂😂
Classic boomer logic... just because they could afford a decent life on min wage set 50 years ago doesnt make it true when the min wage has lagged behind inflation and not even accounting for greedflation...
