8 Truths Fast Food Workers Know Too Well
John Whye

1. If it isn't on the menu, we probably don't serve it.

Stop asking for milkshakes and burgers while you're at a chicken place.

2. Your food is not going to be ready in 5 seconds.

It may be fast food, but give me a little bit more time to get your order ready. I can't read your mind and have it ready when you walk through the door.

3. Don't sit in the drive thru for 5 minutes trying to figure out what you want and create a 10 car line behind you in the process.

These are the people that make fast food..how do I put this.. NOT FAST!


4. Please, do not tell me you need to add more to your order when I hand you your food and it's in the middle of rush hour.

You are also making fast food, NOT FAST! But sure, I'll add three more items to your order at the window so the food packer has even more work to do.

5. Don't stereotype me as someone who isn't doing anything with my life.

I just need the money. Times are hard, but at least I am working.

6. I am polite and I smile, so why are you being so rude?

I'm sorry you are having a rough day, but you don't have to make mine rough too. Just smile and be nice.

7. If there is something wrong with your food, why did you eat 3/4ths of it before telling me?

I will never understand this one. Oh, so your food was cold? Was that before or after you ate most of it?

8. When you come through the drive-thru 3 minutes before we close, do not expect us to make fresh everything.

This makes me laugh every time. Yes, I will give you hot food, but please don't expect your meal to be hand made from scratch right before we close.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
