Black fastfood employees...

You go to the white neighborhoods and 35 year old Sue Lynn is happy to be wearing her Wendys uniform making that same minimum wage that is made in the hood. She makes sure your fries are hot, straw is in the bag and gives you more than two napkins. In the hood if you tell Tiantshay behind the counter that she aint give you a straw she gets an attitude like you the asked her something outlandish....

Most of our hood BBQ and Surf & Turf spots are black or family owned so I guess that could eliminate that "I'm at work, but I dont give a fuck" mentality.

Out in Louisiana, I have seen the worst possible service ever. No napkins, No lids, spills everywhere and the food undercoked. It sucks for me because when I'm away from home, all I have to eat are the food places within walking distance. :smh::smh:
 
Sometimes you need something quick and can cook everytime you need to eat. Make fastfoods the last resort

Co-sign. Easier solution; shoot by the grocery store, grab something from the deli or better yet, grab a rotisserie chicken or something. For like 6 bucks, you get 2-3 meals off of that bitch (combined with some rice, vegetables, etc.)

Like dude said above, if I have to eat FF, I usually ONLY roll with Chic-Fil-A; the food is actually GOOD, and the customer service is OUTSTANDING:

Me:"Can I have my lemonade mixed with Sprite?"
Chic-Fil-A employee:-"My Pleasure"

Me:"Can I have 100 packets of BBQ sauce in my bag?"
Chic-Fil-A employee:-"My Pleasure"

Me: "Can you throw out these fries and fry me an entire new batch?"
Chic-Fil-A employee:-"My Pleasure"

:yes: All other FF joints can kick rocks :yes:
 
I have to agree with the bad service
From Burger King to Radio Shack You walk in the door the lazy men and women that work at the aforementioned roll their eyes,dont want to get or look for what you want.
Half the appliance stores no longer have commision so when you enter a Best Buy the workers scatter faster than roaches when you turn the light on.
SAD

Sounds like any Goodrum Enterprises owned McDonald's in Atlanta..
 
Why is service in our neighborhoods always fucked up? I go to Rally's and I have to open my bag and inspect every sandwich, something always missing or fucked up in my order. I go to Wendy's the line is always long so I go in, trash is everywhere, workers throwin shit at each other. I order my food and bounce, I gotta come back because stuff was missing on the burger. Ol girl who made the sandwich said "My bad, I aint put no pickles or onions on your sandwhich because I(her), dont eat mines that way"... I go to fastfood spots by my job in the burbs and the service is on point and quick. I stress the word "fastfood" because when I go to my BBQ joint down the street from these places they take care of you. Whatsup with this?



Poor management and customers that never take the time to call that 1-800 customer number to complain. I've seen horribly run ff restaurants in mostly White areas and great ones in mostley Black areas and it's all about the manager and what they'll tolerate and if their are enough complaints to upper mgmt.
 
HOLD ON, HOLD ON...

THE INDIANS THAT OWN SUBWAYS AND BLIMPIES ESTABLISHMENTS HAVE THE WORST FUCKING CUSTOMER SERVICES AND THE NASTIEST RESTARAUNTS.

THEY ALWAYS HAVE FLIES ROAMING THE STORE AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE OLD COOOKIES. WHEN I ASK FOR MACCADAMIEN COOKIES THEY HAVE EM' BUT THEY HAVE THE NERE TO PUT THEM IN THE MICROWAVE LIKE THAT'S GOING TO MAKE THEM TASTE BETTER.

THEN THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO TAKE YOUR ORDER (HANDLING THE CASH REGISTER WITH NO GLOVES)TAKE YOUR MONEY (MONEY IS THE DIRTEST SHIT IN THE WORLD) THEN THE TURN AROUND AND ATTEMPT TO MAKE YOUR FOOD WITHOUT WASHING THIER HANDS OR USING GLOVES:confused::confused::confused:


INDIANS AND RESTARAUNTS DON'T MIX

AND YOU KNOW THAT MANY OF THE BUGS THAT WE WON'T HESITATE TO KILL THEY WORSHIP (THEY DON'T KILL ROACHES) AND WILL LET THE CRITTERS RUN AOUND THE STORE LIKE IT'S ALL GOOD.:smh::smh::smh:
 
fast food service sucks everywhere... the only place that has good fast food customer service is chic fil a
 
This is the the realest thing I ever read. I get mad as hell when I walk into some stores and get that eye roll from black women. In my mind I'm thinking "Bitch it's not my fault you work here." You feel like you interrupting them from working or some shit.
 



INDIANS AND RESTARAUNTS DON'T MIX


I gotta speak up on this one.

An Indian runs a Quiznos here in Houston and he runs his shit like a hospital.

Service is always good, and he treats you like he's known your ass for 15 years.

I'm a regular in that bitch:yes:
 
LOL I almost forgot...THE WORST is the POPEYES in ATL airport.Them rats be cussin out dues for asking for more ketchup.
 
I order my food and bounce, I gotta come back because stuff was missing on the burger. Ol girl who made the sandwich said "My bad, I aint put no pickles or onions on your sandwhich because I(her), dont eat mines that way"

:lol: :smh:

I don't even know how I'd respond to that...
 
Its not just fast food joints but joints in the hood or joints whose clientèle are majority black.Why? because black folks especially hood black folks take it.Here in Oakland there is only 1 main BBQ spot.That spot is in a nice area but mainly frequented by but us(black folks).The food is ok but the service is unbelievably terrible.Terrible to the degree where they are rude.You NEVER see this in white communities.Why? Because we take it.This same spot is heavily supported and seen as a model "black owned" restaurant.A friend of mine was just telling me about another spot next door that had roaches on the walls.When they complained the waiter told them "What? You aint never seen no a roach before?".I always try and support our people,but sometimes we make it hard.

Man, my first job was in fast food and I'd have been so fired for that shit... Fuck "fired up, ready to go," it would've been, "You're fired, nigga, get your ass out!!!!"

And I suppose every place that is not in "DA HOOD" gives GREAT service.

You sound like the type of dude who will break his fucking neck just to eat at DENNY'S.
 
Yeah i've been saying this for years. There's a KFC that is within walking distance of a couple of housing projects and for as long as i can remember all there employees come from there. The service is so bad there that you can walk up to the counter and the people behind it will keep talking and laughing with each other like you aren't even there. Drive-thru is the worse, you can order a two piece and biscuit, forget to check it and when you get home there's baked beans and macaroni in the bag.
 
B4 i stopped fckng w/rest. I use to get in arguments everytime (wash u'r hands/use gloves/don't use gloves to handle money and food/when I walk up, aknowledge me hence we starring at each other cuz U nd to aknwldge me/I saw what the cook just did..etc.) Real talk though, when I'm in my nhood Castles and mcd's and the rest of them do not look nor taste like the suburbs. Chinesee rest. try to chrge for extra sauce but left out in open in suburbs. Just same as grocery stores send older meat from suburbs to city. yup meat fresher out there also. no cooincidence.....
 
It's not just the FF restaurants it's everywhere basically. Their attitude and mindset ... that is the problem.

They don't want to work there, they have to work there so they are mad at the circumstances to begin with.

They get the job because their friends are there so they can hang out together.

They get the job because they thought it would be simple enough, but find out soon enough it aint.

They don't see it as a career or even a stepping stone. It's just a job or paycheck and some other shitty ass job is waiting down the street for them if they quit or get fired so why bother.

It aint even so much about the low wages neither. I work where the starting salary for unskilled labor is 12-15 an hour and the senior men get 30-35 an hour, but in both extremes and everywhere in between you got people who don't care. They do shitty work or pass the time trying to milk the job out to an extra 15 minutes to get paid 2 hours into the next pay period or overtime rates.
 
LOL I almost forgot...THE WORST is the POPEYES in ATL airport.Them rats be cussin out dues for asking for more ketchup.

No way..that location is WAYYY better than the one on Lee Street in the AUC. It's the only Popeye's I've ever seen that RAN OUT OF FUCKING CHICKEN. They actually had the audacity to stay open serving sides (fries, biscuits, etc.)
 
All your seeing is the same work ethic and mindset that has them working for minimum wage in a fast food place manifesting itself.

Nah Homie... I think you're mistaken. I GUARANTEE "sue-lynn" is NOT making minimum wage. -not that it's an excuse by any means, but (at least in my experience having lived in 4 major metropolitan cities), the fast food joints in the hood pay min. wage while in the suburbs (i.e. white areas), those muhfuckas make 8-10 bucks an hour. Now, sure...that's still no money, but I betcha their check every week is a lot nicer than their urban-area counterparts.

AND... if u notice in the hood, they only allow those kids to work 16-20 hrs. per week - again not allowing them to make any substantial bread. Again... I am NOT making excuses for anyone (I worked at a couple of ff joints in the hood when I was a teen, and I actually gave a fuck about the appearance of the store and the customers, etc. ) but if we keep allowing there to be such a gross difference in median wages in areas that are sometimes only a couple of miles apart, then we're gonna be seeing this shit for a long time to come. ( and its not just fast food joints, but damn near every place of employment in the hood and thats BULLSHIT!)

Sorry to get so long-winded about this shit, but I've been thinking about this shit for years (and trying to get city-council to listen to me to no avail). Oh and for the record: IT'S NOT ABOUT ANY PARTICULAR RACE OF PEOPLE, rather poor people vs. middle and upper class. Btw- great topic OP! /rant.
 
^^^

Good post... Though the discussion has been entertaining, I wouldn't credit the OP with a great topic because, as you said, it's not about race and the thread is titled "Black fast food employees." I don't even fight it anmore because I'm used to this bpard being on some Stormfront shit regarding blacks and Mexicans.
 
NO ONE has to WORK for minimum wage. You can always go elswhere for employment. Shit become a waiter and get more in tips in one day than your whole paycheck at Mcdonalds. Sure that sounds real easy but No education and no skill leaves a lot of people stuck in those type of jobs.



Exactly what minimum wage and fast food was made for = Highschool students. Not grown folks. But I constantly see the person who (woman) 3 kids early and is (now) trying to work complaining about the wages meant for a child (living with parents). She's mad at the world because they won't give her more money.



That's sad. It just shows us that your parents (or parent) didn't teach you shit about "work ethic". As a business owner what I've found is that the people who are sloppy and care little about their job when they are young, usually don't care about their jobs as adults. They take those crappy habits wherever they work. What's the incentive for the business owner to "give" you more money when you still do the "same" crappy job?



So you want 10 bucks (n hour) to flip burgers? Come the fuck on? No I don't. That doesn't change the change the fact that if you pay people shit there going to work like shit.

:hmm:I think your over analyzing stuff buddy. Save that brain power for something more important. My parents thought me a lot about work ethnic. Do you really think a high school student who didn't even need the job in the first place (thanks to his parents. Just wanted to work there because all of my friend did at the time) about to go off to college would give a flying fuck about some shitty job at Mickey D's. That place was a hell hole still fucking over young people to this day. It was ran by two fat lazy ass sisters. Who did give a fuck about anyone but them selves. Once another Managers grandmother died they wouldn't even give her the day off to go to her grandmothers funeral. Women worked all day with tears in her eyes. You think Im supposed to be proud to work at in establishment like that. My name ain't Calvin.

That is always true, it is because of the management of the employees. The people who work there an be professional if they had to. You notice that the manager is always slacking right along with the employees.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:Everette and jones downtown? Why them niggas always mad?
 
How about one of the only pizza spots in the hood that I ever saw actually put a shaker of parmesan out and the guy started cursing me that I putting too much :hmm:

If you did all the stuff you're talking about you had NO WORK ETHIC. You're supposed to do any job you do to the best of your ability. Since the place was so bad you should've just quit instead of fucking over innocent customers to get back at the managers. How you gonna say you did all those things and then come back talking about "work ethic":hmm:
