10 dollars an hour to flip burgers? god i'd take that in a heart beat.

That's pretty nice. It's a great to see an area with low unemployment without being dependent on government jobs.

[birdgirl73]

What are "government jobs"?

[CYRAX]

That's good for the job, but working at a fast food place honestly isn't the easiest thing beleive it or not, people are on your ass all the time, can't fuck up, sometimes it is very busy, some people don't realize this, but it's hard work for cheap pay, stay in school kids.

What are "government jobs"?

Exactly that. Jobs created by government funding.

[birdgirl73]

I know they existed during the Depression. But now? Other than jobs for the Federal goverment, that is.

[stinkyattic]

Probably referring to state workers and the people who administer and staff social programs.

Morning Birdie dear.

Lol what cyrax said is true, but you can get people on your back all the time in any job though tbh.

I got fired from McDonald's for not being fast enough. I got fired from Taco Bell for eating too much. They even started a one-free-item-with-meat-or-cheese rule, just because of me. I found a crack in that rule though: take 3 or 4 burrito skins, paste 'em together and make a single 5-pound meat lover's burrito. That's when they fired me. Guess I just wasn't cut out for the fast food life.

trust me i know what it's like, i worked at sonic and it was also the job i held for the longest, i ended up quitting after all the bullshit i had to put up with, and i only got paid 5.15 an hour... i basicly ran the whole kitchen even tho i was supposed to only be on grill. cuz no one else wanted to do their job, just stand around and talk...

Minimum wage here is atleast 11$/hr for a shitty fast food job.

And I can go work for my dad for 25$/hr under the table whenever I want.

[slipknotpsycho]

what's he do? 25 an hour under the table is fuckin ridiculous lol...

[THClord]

I live here in socal. What I found is that the big businesses are constantly taking advantage of workers. They're not being paid how much their work is worth, but the smallest amount they can pay and still get enough employees. You might say that this is supply-demand, but if all the businesses have an unspoken agreement to underpay employees then the businesses win, and the employees will be forced to work for less.

after the hurricane here in new orleans u could get a job at any burger king or mcdonalds for 10 dollars an hour when u first started.

[Nochowderforyou]

I know when I left Central Alberta last year, McDick's was offering to pay $12/hr for the night shift, and if you didn't have a ride to and from work, they would offer free cab rides.

There is a huge work shortage there right now. Companies are hurting for good employees as Albertan's are lazy bastards who either never go to work, don't care about there job, and do a shitty job leaving their fuckups for someone else to clean up.

Yes, I hate Alberta. :)

i have worked at mcdees, old country buffett, D'angelo's, a cinima, and a few restraunts. the fast food places taught me how to deal with rushes, cleaning, and the public. Skills that are good to have when applying for a decant restraunt. don't knock the paper hat jobs, there a good place to start, and if you fall down you can usualy go back if you left on good terms.
