I am an employer at one of these Mcjob-type jobs and my consistent experience is that most people whom I hire don’t give the job the repect it deserves. It isn’t much of a job and it doesn’t pay very much (the customer is not going to pay 5 bucks for a bottle of pop so I can pay 15 bucks an hour).
However, it is a job that is a step to a better life, and I as an employer is more than willing to be an assist so a person could go to school on the side or something.
The very non-pc objective of these kinds of jobs is that not only you gain working experience but............it is also to hate it.
Hate it so much that finishing your education and graduating so you will not do those jobs ever again. When I was 17, I worked for Subway and 18 summer, McDonald’s. The final straw probably for me was when this girl I had a crush on walked in to my store (of all the McD’s in the entire freaking city) and noticed me, and had that sorry look in her eyes.
