I wouldnā€™t mind smoking marijuana on occasion to help me relax, but Iā€™d worry about an employer firing me if/when they find out with a urine test, whether itā€™s before I get a job or while Iā€™m employed somewhere for whatever reason. More so concerned about the former. I donā€™t know how you manage that.

Fast food. Itā€™s hard work but I like my coworkers.

After I graduated high school, I was working at my dad and brotherā€™s fast food restaurant. They were in the middle of remodeling the building before opening the place the same day that I graduated. It was down the street from my high school as well. That was my first time working fast food, and the drive-thru window as well. I didnā€™t enjoy running the window. It got really chaotic when it was busy, and from time to time I goofed up on orders. I sympathize with fast food workers to this day, which is why Iā€™m always respectful and patient when Iā€™m making my order and waiting for it. Iā€™m like that when I go to any restaurant or store, actually.

Some funny moments that come to mind: on the day of the grand opening, we were offering one sandwich per person for free for that day only, and some people took advantage of that by driving around a second time to get more free food. That was inevitable. Another time, a real pimp came in to order food. Iā€™m 99% sure he was an authentic pimp. He was dressed in a red suit, and had a red hat with a feather on it. We also had the same group of police officers which would come in to eat as regulars. Specifically, I believe they worked for the DEA.

Boā€™s post made me reminisce of those days, heh.

Yeah, anyone who would look down on fast food workers donā€™t have even the faintest hint of an inkling as to what the job involves and the stressors that are on you.
