-maybe you felt that for yourself-
I don't know what everyone is complaining about. I love working in the fast food industry. (Well, except for the awful smell you can't scrub off.) .... (And the terrible wages.)
I think that fast food businesses are so much more laid back then say, a grocery store or a retirement home (my previous and current jobs). Those other jobs have so many strict rules. And the actual 'job' itself contains very little excitement. The most exhilaration I've felt at any of my cashiering jobs was when a 'gang' of kids jumped my boss -and I missed most of the battle because I was checking!
At Pizza Hut semi-exciting things happen everyday. There are always angry customers to watch get angry and yell or act bizarrely impolite to fellow co-workers. The interesting characters I call my co-workers have incredibly interesting stories about fantastically disastrous lives they live. And I think fighting for tips is the funnest thing in the whole world.
I mean, at my Walmart job I can force myself to try to make people smile and like me when they go through my line. But the only thing I receive in return for my efforts is the 'satisfaction' in making someone happy.
At Pizza Hut I also try to make people smile, laugh, and like me. And if I succeed I receive MONEY. And that, my friends, is true satisfaction. There is nothing more exciting then finding a ten or twelve dollar tip on your table of 5. Or even a crisp five dollar bill after a table of two who only ordered salad. OR, if you're really lucky, (and flirt a little with the rodeo boys), you can get a thirty dollar tip!
No one has ever tipped me at Walmart. Except one kid who kindly grunted, 'keep the change' when I tried to hand him a nickel.
In conclusion, I would rather work at a Pizza Hut any day over a Walmart.
Walmart sucks my soul. Pizza Hut feeds it.
Walmart gives me two breaks and a lunch. Pizza hut gives me free cheese sticks.
Walmart is a cold, cement playground without any trees.
Pizza hut is a dysfunctional rainbow.
I think I've made my point.
