I immediately assumed anyone who said it was no big deal that they were doing it have never worked a service job in their life.
I mean having basic human empathy would also work, but if you don't have that then service jobs show you first hand being on the bottom rung of society, having every Karen scream at you over arbitrary bullshit or having grown ass men throw hamburgers at you because someone else put too many pickles on it.
1 time? No big deal. 2 times? Sure, that's my job. The whole month, every single show? Even the tough guy with the strongest will would think about quitting. But sure, the boss is making big buck.
it was very telling that the managers didn't seem to care at all
A lot of times it's the "I went through it, now it's your turn."
I say shit can the senior project at highschools.*. Instead make seniors get a job at a fast food joint near the school for the first half of the school year. Maybe make it half a day. Then the second half of the school year make them attend a new home ec. class that uses their paystubs from the job to show them how to make a budget, pay taxes, in addition to how to cook some simplistic meals and change a tire and your car's oil. I feel like that would cut down on the level of unearned entitlement some people have.
*In the area I graduated in, senior students would have to do a set amount of volunteer hours as well as present a paper on the experience and what they would do to make the world a better place.
