To anyone who bitches about any aspect of eating at a fast food place ( service, food quality, decor, cleanliness )…stop eating fast food if you don’t want the “Xtras” that come with it.
I mean really! what do you expect from someone making min wage, selling you a whole meal that cost less than they make an hour. if you walk into a fast food place you have to know that shitty processed food, served by disaffect ignorant teenagers is part of the deal. and there’s nothing wrong with that necessarily since you get what you pay for ( like most things ). Just don’t act surprised and appalled and write to the coast with an axe to grind when the pimple faced kids scoops your fries off the floor and back into the fry box. YOU”RE EATING A $5 MEAL OFF A PLASTIC TRAY UNDER NEON LIGHTS. Please adjust your expectations when you have to point to a photo shopped picture of your food or grunt a number between 1 and 6 to the slack jawed 14 year old hitting the big red buttons.

Wish I could be there in a few years when “Realistic expectations” grows up and is on the receiving end of one of these “what do you expect” meals!

Even if they’re giving the food away for free there are health and safety protocols that MUST be observed. Don’t lower expectations! Report these businesses to the health board or the franchise owners.With regard to workers who receive minimum wage, yes, you get what you pay for in terms of service. But when a multi-billion dollar franchise provides cheap food you can expect a consistent level of quality and, no, that doesn’t mean transferring food items from floor to table (of course, that’s a health standard violation).It’s a dog eat dog world and if you don’t fight for your rights who do you expect should? Speak up! Don’t lie down.
What do I expect???? Exactley what I’ve come there for;a hot Big Mac, fast as possible service, and kid doing his/her JOB!!!!Which Im sure includes being courteous and sanitary What do you mean I only pay $5 for a meal????? thats not the point, the problems is kids who have job, who feel like they dont get paid enough to care about what they are doing.Why do these kids have no character, because we dont expect them too.
nice, just because someone makes a tiny assed wage, they shouldnt have pride in the job they do? A good work ethic stays with you for life, and if ya develop bad habits young, shit gets harder to get of when older
