Why can't you do something as simple as not pick on a guy for going to work and earning a living?

If your life is that hollow where you need to do that to feel good about yourself then it's your problem, not the guy working at Wendy's.

Just what I was thinking. The OP must be feeling quiet insecure to pick on something like that.
Indeed. I hope he (author of this thread) was just misled into that ignorant line of thinking and snaps out of it someday.

You obviously have never worked fast food before. Days can get seriously hectic and draining. The system we used at our BK didn't have the ability to use the register to calculate change in the drive thru. Could be a second job, yes, but at least it is a job.

The point was that it wasn't a difficult amount. If i had given him something large then I wouldn't have really cared, but an amount that small it makes me wonder how they can even get a job there serving the public.

There is a world going on outside of you. Thank God.

The lesson you should take from this: INVEST NOW! Start building a nestegg/retirement account NOW! Ort else you'll find yourself working until you die! No, the government will not save you. In fact, we will be paying a $hit load after our parents die to keep it all afloat.

Surgeons don't have time to post on message boards.

LOL and i don't think surgeons would be spelling like an AOL kiddie.

I think you're a failure in life when you fail to have empathy for other people's situations and judge them as failures when you don't know their situation.

Maybe the guy was retarded? Maybe he just got out of prison and he's trying to make an honest living? Maybe it's a third or fourth job? Maybe this job is the one that allows him to pay child support or is the job that puts food on the table for his kids? WTF man, think before you talk.

At least the guy is trying which is more than I can say for a hell of a lot of people, he has been able to swallow his pride and work fastfood instead of going to the Unemployment Office.

Get over yourself. It's obvious you've never had to struggle to support yourself.

That is what I was thinking... my job is REALLY slow... and money is REALLY tight, so I have decided to go back to school... I am a grown up and will not take government handouts or llive off the boyfriends... I would work in McDonalds if I had to.

At least the guy is working, no?

My uncle has schizophrenia, which was triggered as a result of his service in Vietnam. He worked at McDonalds for a number of years, which really pushed his ability to focus on a task and work without explicit instructions for everything. You never know what people have been through, so STFU.

A. At least he's working and not sitting out front with a sign begging for money

B. He could have been retarded, hence the slow service. This does beg the question as to why he was working the register, but certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility. My mother works for a company that helps retarded adults get jobs in their communities.

C. Maybe he *had* a good job but got the shaft and this is the only thing he can get to make ends meet right now. Certainly not an uncommon problem these days....

D. This is far-fetched, but I did hear a story once about a guy who was a multi-millionaire but was so bored he got a part-time job as a pizza delivery guy just to have something to do with his spare time.

The moral of the story? Don't be a superior asshole and judge a book by it's cover.

My brother's highschool German teacher, who I should add as a very respectable guy, works for a liquor store during the summer.
