I truly hate my job... well Ex job i guess seeing as i put in notice and they removed me from the schedual for the last week.

I work in a Jack in the Box. Yes yes i know insert various fast food name jokes here. I get realy fucking sick of customers. The ones who cant speak english, the ones who demand food they didnt pay for, the ones who steal food. There the worst of the worst but the every day morons realy get you down. I swear to christ everyone and their brother goes to Jack just to order tacos. Dont they understand its fryed soy product and isnt meat at all? Fuck em.
In the six months i put myself through that hell the bosses did nothing but expect more. ITs like "Oh you've been here 8 hours... were short shifted, your staying" or "oh were over staffed, you get six hours this week". They couldnt make up their fuckin minds as to when to work me, how to work me, how much lube to use when raping my hours in the ass. The one constant is where they put me. My job station is/was fryer and lemme tell ya it sucks some fucking ass right there. Your on the worst station in the whole store, your workin with shit that smells like someone threw up and then cooked it and you get no help at all. You just get to stand there no matter how busy and cook shit that should be thrown away instead of consumed. 40 Tacos... sure thing. 30 eggrolls... Ok. Wtf do you mean i didnt drop them frys. Daily bullshit.

Then theres the health issues. They never clean the fuckin fryers or the grille. They try to tell you they did it but the test strips come out black instead of blue. You gotta meet speed of service so you best be pullin that food way too early unless you wanna get written up or threatened (I got threatened alot, i have some standards).

Basicaly i'll sum it up. If you got nothing better in your life to do than stress the fuck out every day, get shit on by the world and hate your life for it... APPLY to jack in the box.
 
Already applied, seen two of my friends getting screwed around there over a two year period. Nope I think my life holds something a little more real than Jack-In-Her-Box.
 
Yeah they wont hire you unless they change certin policies about hiring. Shitty though cause you woulda been a decent worker until they fucked ya over like the rest of us.
 
The lack of meat is like, half the reason I order the tacos! I was going to say something like 'yeah I never eat there' because I usually don't...but sitting in my trash is a jack-in-the-box bag from today.

I can't even imagine how bad working fast food must be. I dunno...If you hate it that much, I suggest this: Go to the nearest mall (or two) apply at every store that doesn't sell food. One of them should hire you. Thats what I did, and I actually ended up working at a store that I like (I get decent pay and hours too).
 
I've never eaten at jack in the box. I'm not sure I have ever lived in a place that had them. I'd never work in a fast food restaurant though. I can just see how unhappy all the employees are every time I go in one. They've got that look of soullessness behind their plastic smiles.

Ahh, the bliss of living on an island where it's illegal to open a franchise restaurant. However, I do miss my fast food from time to time... Every once in a while I have to go to the big island and eat nothing but burger king and subway.

But yeah, seriously, get a better job.
 
That's what all teenagers go through at least once, a crap ass job that you end up staying at for around 6 months. For me it was the movie theaters, minimal wage, pretty much everything he said, just 12 hour shifts, not 8. Yeah, I know where you're coming from. The best place to work at, if you want a pretty good job, is a golf course. Get a job in the pro shop if you can, all you do all day is sit around watch t.v., and sell people little bullshit things like tee times and shirts. :thumbsup:
 
Hey now, its not all the customers!!!

Once at jack in the box I asked the girl to get me some tea. She said its in the fountain. I said, no, thats powdered tea, I want fresh brewed tea behind the counter. She said.....Isn't it fresh brewed when you get the tea..........dear god, I wanted to slap her.

Another time, we went into jack in the box pretty late on a weeknight so of course they were dead. There was one guy and one girl working there. Then the most offensive, disgusting thing came to my attention............they were listening to fucking rap music, and not even good rap music, generic mtv crap rap.
 
Hey buddy, I work at Panera bread. Let me tell you, it sucks to have a job and I know what it's like working fast food. Although Panera is considered a "sit-in" place, we make all of the foods in a ballpark of 2 minutes of them being ordered, meaning that all of the meats and breads are prepped in the morning for the afternoon rush. Sure, everything is prepped early in the morning everyday, its still disgusting. Sometimes things just don't get cleaned by the night-crew(a.k.a. me and my co-workers) because we're so busy trying to clean up the mess that customers leave behind.

I know what its like to be bitched at and belittled to the point of feeling like you may just break down and walk out of the store.

Trust me, I know about health issues. We have to eat while we're working or else we starve. You don't get a break if you work 5 hours. Therefore you have to sneak pieces of bread into the back and get something to drink when customers aren't around.

But I can say one thing is certain: it's better to rely on you own bank account, rather than the pockets of those around you. My friends despised this one kid who wouldn't stop asking for money, and you know what that taught me? People like it when you're on your own two feet, and don't depend upon someone else's hard work just for some food.
 
I worked in McDonalds for 1 month.

OMG was it bad! I really don't know how people work in the fast food industry.

1.You get bitched at from the customers.
2.Then you get bitched at from the bosses.
3.They expect you to work or go home ANYTIME
4.They will call you on your day off to come in to work.
5. You get paid shit while the mangers make 35k and up.

It is just not worth it. It only took me a month to realize it but if you have
the chance to work ANYWHERE else, I suggest you do so.
 
In Daytona, Florida, mid 1980's, I was eating a fried chicken leg at a KFC clone. I raised the chicken to my mouth, bit, and lowered the chicken away from me. What I had in my mouth also came out. It looked like a blue rubber band was tied to the mouthful of chicken and the rest of the chicken leg. After examining this elastic piece, I figured out it was a big fat blue vein. I have not eaten any fried chicken from a fast food place ever since.
 
Yeah we got a lot of fucksock employees like that. People so stupid they shouldnt be working in a restraunt or anywhere. I know the night crew at jack here are all metal heads. They listen to enough music that you could head bang to that people come through drive through just to listen to music or get high in the parking lot and listen to tunes (Hurray for loud tunes).

I know high on my list of things i hate are all the employees they hired that couldnt speak a word of english. None at all. We never had anyone who spoke both english and spanish on duity so they'd just come and go as they pleased and do what ever they wanted all the while we'd get screamed at because their job wasnt done and we werent "helping" them do it.

This is my like 4th stint in fast food and hopefuly my last. Id rather do anything but go back into a business whos sole pourpose is to basicaly fuck over their workers just so they can make a healthy profit margin on food.
 
Dude, this one time I was in I think it was Santa Rosa and we went to McDonalds for dinner cause we were on a weekend trip with my church right. And I wasn't that hungry so I just got chicken nuggets and a soda. I bit into the second on and almost chipped my tooth on a bone that came from a fuckin chicken nugget. I kept it in my wallet for almost a year in a half but then i lost it...it was about the length of a penny's diameter and about the width of maybe an 8 gauge piece of body jewelry.

And a couple years ago I got so sick from jack in the box I threw up hella and went to the hospital and it was all because the chicken strips were undercooked...
 
Yes, there is a vein located in the leg of the chicken, it will not hurt you, nor is it bad for you...well not any worse than pressure cooked chicken in oil is..But you get that.


Some peice of mind you can hold is that large established fast food places like kfc, long john silvers, taco bel (although i'd be worried about this one), maccas and such follow health regulations and so they should.

I personally can't stand it when my store is messy, it drives me nuts. i keep mine exceptionally clean, now places like kfc are probably the cleaner stores that i tend to go into.

But my least favourite for service and food quality is hungry jacks (burger king).

Now if i go buy fast food, i am polite...because i know what its like...But when the staff are rude to me for no good reason at all thats what irritates me...Some people need to work on their fucking staff policies...
