BEST MINIMUM WAGE JOB ON THE PLANET
It was after quitting my job at a grocery store that I learned food service was the way to go. The work is way easier and the pay is the same of higher. You get to make and prepare an essential part of everyone’s day. If you’re allowed to eat some of what you make that’s just an added bonus. The best part of the job is that if anyone messes with you, there’s going to be hell to pay.
I find that pizza places are the best. You have the most diverse co-workers and the food is great. The managers can be a pain but you learn that what they say isn’t really that important. Honestly, if you are older than twenty-five and you work in a pizza place you’re wasting your life. The only bad part about the job is that you can’t eat every slice of pizza. If you did, you would find yourself quickly out of a job.
Sometimes you will get the occasional jackass who thinks that he is having a worse day than anyone else and therefore giving himself the permission to be an ass. Even if this is true and he is having worse day than anyone else, that won’t excuse bad behavior in your restaurant. If this happens just give him a stern look and nod your head. Believe me he will shape up and act proper. If he doesn’t catch your drift and continues to be an ass just put something nasty in his food. Under the cheese that way he will eat it and won’t even realize it.
Being in the food business gives you power over people’s lives. You have the power to affect the lives of your customers in which ever way you see fit, depending upon how they act. You do easy work and get paid just as much as anyone else with a minimum wage job. This is why I believe that food service is the best minimum wage job on the planet.
