1. You have a variety of incredibly ugly hats.
What’s a fast food place without every single one of their employees wearing matching hats?
2. The mere mention of your employer's food outside of work is enough to make you gag.
You wouldn’t go on a trip to buy their food if your life depended on it. The only way you’re going is if someone ties you up and drags you there.
3. You have the “fast food face.”
The “Hi, what can I do for you today?” smile is permanently ingrained on your face. FOREVER.
4. The smell.
If, after any shift, I do not immediately cover myself in soap and water, I’m bound to smell like fast food for the remainder of my day.
5. Your self-control is amazing
Dealing with hostile people 40 hours a week and NOT strangling yourself or anyone else is a true sign of self-control.
6. When it’s time to go, it’s time to go.
No matter what tragic thing may be happening, when it’s the end of the day, you don’t just walk out of the store, you sprint.
7. You’re filled with 75 percent of whatever food you sell.
From the messed up orders to the employee discounts, it’s inevitable that you will gain weight from all the fast food.
8. The customer is ALWAYS right.
Even the most ridiculous and outrageous requests are always filled because the golden rule of fast food is the customer is always right.
9. There is always something that can be cleaned.
Any time there is a dull moment in the building, you should be doing two things: breathing and cleaning. The minute you put down your rag, your manager will be inquiring if you need something else to clean.
10. The terms "Lunch Rush" and "Dinner Rush" send shivers down your spine.
The most chaotic and nerve racking times of the day, when the line is out the door and customers can never be pleased. Sure the busyness makes the time go by quickly, but it makes your mental health decline even quicker.
