that's a really good point providing you're working in a place like that. I literally know people who have 'authentic' small shops and just stock up from big corporations, selling it at a higher price, like jwb said. But I agree that in general small businesses are likely to be better.

I get paid more than I ever have for this kind of work, and the rules are completely lax, plus I get helped out in a family sort of way from time to time

yesterday I was allowed to grab whatever I wanted from the store because of the emergency snow storm

don't you work at 7/11?

Every time I make a Whopper I just want to hurl it at the wall. No matter how well I make it it's still rat meat, stale bread, and putrid vegetables. It's a worthless industry in all possible ways and it was designed to be like that. Why would you want to buy your way into that being the rest of your life?

And yes I know money but come on it's lack of imagination.

You support corporate monopolies cause you're a free thinker who isn't shackled by leftist ideology. Pat on the back.

First of all I think you project your own negative association with BK on fast food in general... She works at a nicer fast food chain than BK.

2nd, she actually likes the food they make hence getting fat.

3rd they don't pay minimum wage.

4th I don't support corporate monopolies in spirit I'm just not willing to bank roll your mom and pop adventure out of pure good will. Call me selfish, I won't deny that.

Being nicer isn't really relevant. I'm well aware of the higher quality movement in fast food like Five Guys and Panera Bread and ****. It affects ****tier chains too. That's why McDonald's and Wendy's put higher price **** on their menus and why we're we're all upgrading our store designs to be nicer. But the assembly line food production dictated by a soulless beaurocracy that doesn't care about quality or human life except how they affect the bottom line is exactly the same. Even if your sister's restaurant's food is better than mine it's still the same obliteration of human culture. Burger King or Five Guys or Ruby Tuesday's it's all the ****ing same.

Yeah lack of imagination. A requirement for a happy cog.

I'm not calling you selfish. I'm calling you blind. If you don't instinctually see that fast food is a blight on human culture then you're a nitwit. Even as a rightwinger I saw all of this, I just didn't assimilate this insight into a worldview.

Everything you're saying applies to just about any corporate low end job. Fast food is just personal to you cause you hate your job and you wanna blame someone other than yourself for the fact you have to clock in there every day. I'm not blind to the fact that corporations are exploitative. I just don't care enough to let that stop me from making money and so I can't expect anyone else to either. You take an opportunity where it arises. If Walmart will pay me more than mom& pop, what possible reason do I have to work for mom and pop anyway? To make someone else more money? What do I get out of it?

Its like eating meat is immoral. But I still do it. Can't be ****ing bothered tbh. And you can grandstand all you want but it's just a moral consolation prize for your lack of ambition and work ethic. You choose to work at Burger King. You talk all this **** about how a small business restaurant is a better place to work but anything I suggest you try getting a different job you shrug your shoulders and say it wouldn't matter where I work I just hate work period. So how is it you want to have it both ways?

Charles my work is hiring come to Cali and join the nonprofit sector, there’s no education requirement.

How much do you guys make? What's the policy on criminal backgrounds?

Also with the morality thing it's funny cause I argue with my sister too cause she has this sorta bs boojie corporate morality too where I was talking about scalping some PS5s and she was like don't do that it's unethical those families just want gifts for their kids etc. And I just look at her like unethical? Really? You want to start a franchise that relies on the systematic slaughter and abuse of animals but me marking up a PS5 is unethical?? She just sees **** that isn't legit as **** to avoid cause it's all about keeping a squeaky clean image. That boat has already sailed for me so I'm gonna get mine however I get it.

WWWP · 02-20-2021, 12:15 PM

I started at $19/hr, with a dollar raise every year since. No criminal or background checks, because there’s no working with kids directly.

If we can get a bunch of MBers to get hired on and then go in on a place we might be able to rent a studio apt or something.
