1. Fast food joints can’t hire enough employees. The ones they do hire are indifferent to their jobs.
2. The turnover rate is over 50% and often much higher.
3. Service sucks.
4. Why not hire robots? Most of us would enjoy, for once, getting everything we order when we go through the drive-thru.

1. Can you blame the employees? Talk about a boring job. The smell must get nauseating after a while.

2. I'm not surprised.

3. Of course service is terrible...indifferent, bored employees don't care. If they were paid more there would be competition for those jobs.

4. Robots might be better. But, if these places are so egregious why go there? Why put up with it all? The food isn't good for you anyway. All that grease will do you in. Crap in; crap out. There IS always exercise but that's even MORE difficult to do. So Americans who eat that crap will just have to suffer through the PAINS of bad service, incorrect orders, indifferent servers, poorer health from all that greasy food AND occasional BROKEN ROBOTS.

Pass the mustard, please.

“If they were paid more there would be competition for those jobs.”

You’d think that would be the case. But it’s not a very mentally engaging job and that doesn’t change because they throw you a extra buck or 2 per hour. Then you have to consider how much more you have to charge for “fast food” when your labor price structure goes up.

And the point was that fast food jobs, save the managers’ spot, were not meant to be long term adult-held jobs.

I had my time in a fast food place in high school. And i didn’t enjoy it and withing theee months found a far better job for the rest of high school.
