I would firstly like to point out that although this is a negative spotting, I have been extremely blessed to meet some very kind people while working in the fast food industry and this is in no way a representation of every customer I have encountered. While working a particuarily unpleasant shift on Valentines Day I was shocked by the way customers treated myself and other
workers. I completely understand that Valentines Day can be a bit of a downer for a lot of people but It in no way excuses treating another human being like garbage. I won't go into details but a few individuals were so nasty that I left my shift in tears. I wish I could say this was a rare occurance but I've witnessed many of my coworkers go through the same thing and are left crying after work about something a customer said. A lot of us are in our late teens working very hard to pay our way through school. I can't even describe how discouraging it is to have people speak to you like you're somehow a lesser person. That being said, 95% of the people are very respectful and kind. This is for the 5% that maybe don't realize how they much of an impact they have on our feelings. Please just try to be kinder to kind people who are really trying their best to help you out. Thank you :).
