How many people think that fast food workers should at least have...?

Question

an associate's degree. Some of these people (not all, mind you) should at least take a college english and math class, IMHO.

so what do you think about this idea instead?

Answer 1

They should have general knowledge of english, math and manners. It's not that hard to look into your customers eyes and quit talking to your friend long enough to serve someone. And being able to do basic addition and subtraction should be a requirement.

Answer 2

im guessin ur annoyed at the person workin behind the cashier cos theyr not as quik as u are. Yes i feel ur pain! Sometimes when im really starving i just go in and say ... bigmac large meal with coke or strawberry milkshake (my fav ofcourse) and throw in some ketchups. Thats wat i usually say only to get delayed by some slow @ss whos not too hot on english or maths. Yes i wish they would do somethin about that but theres a dilemma...if they get a associate degree then they wouldnt need to work in fast food places unless u get the few ppl who'r usin the fast food work to get money for somethin else. Anyways sayin that, thats y the thik people make a career out of fast food and the smarter lot do better stuff.

Answer 3

So then, where will you work? Do you think anyone with an AA would really want to wait on rude people that don't appreciate the fact that somebody has to work in the restaurants? If you are rude to them because you think they are incompetent, they will make you special dressing. if I worked in a fast food restaurant, I don't think i would give a F---K about much of anything, let alone rude @$$ people who think I should have some kind of skill to make minimum wage. People who work in restaurants work very hard and they are always the first to see your food. So give em a break. (Not trying to be mean, mind you)

Answer 4

A management position or higher only. It doesn't take a college degree to flip burgers or use a cash register. Elementary math should do that and, of course, reading skills.

Answer 5

I think that it's better for a person to have an honest living, rather then robbing people....No matter how big or small their vocabulary may be....There's really no reason to converse with these people. Just tell them what you want, give them the money and haul azz. No biggie

Answer 6

you recognize what I wasn't born with a silverspoon, i become born with shitty actual barriers and right into a airborne dirt and dust *** detrimental kin. i bypass to varsity, i'm making use of my abilities, i exploit my education and am 26 years previous and that i make minimum salary. I artwork at a rapid food place and to envision this lack of understanding offends me. possibly the op could desire to get their lazy *** to the food market and make their own ****** food. **** you. Have a astonishing ****** day. Asshole.

Answer 7

then we wouldnt have anybody to be fast food workers they would get better jobs and what about teens???
my first job was in a pizza parlor at 14, i just wish that they understood english so i could get my order right

Answer 8

I dont think they should have a degree...it is only fast food, but I do think that some should take english classes....

Answer 9

Some. I've worked in fast food before and I think what they really need is a raise.

Answer 10

I agree with the English class. I hate when they act like they can't understand you.
