It... could be worse

I won't even try to hide it, I love fast food . There's nothing better than going full animal mode on a big plate of Wendy's. Just last night, I ate more Mcdonald's than my stomach could handle. What I couldn't finish is in the fridge, which means I'll be eating a McDouble for lunch . Call it disgusting or unhealthy or lazy. You'd be right, for the most part, but there's nothing wrong with having a huge helping of fast food once in a while. All that being said, moderation is very important. Jus…

If you're like most people, you've probably spent at least some time slaving away in the greasy, soul-sucking world of fast food. You know the drill: long hours, low pay, and the constant stench of deep-fried despair. Sure, the fast food industry might not be the most glamorous line of work , but it's a rite of passage for many of us. The ultimate character builder. Whether you’re in the trenches of a Taco Bell make-line or the front-of-house target for unhinged middle-aged women, it’s one of t…

It seems to have side effects

Sometimes the only way to make a job less miserable is to turn it into a game for yourself, or to have a little bit of harmless fun with customers. That's exactly what one redditor did at their McDonald's job, and the customers loved them for it. Sounds like a win-win for both employee and patron, right? Well, that's not how management saw it. Instead of praising their employee for being such a big hit with customers, the boss demanded that the employee follow the official corporate script to a…

Everyone's favorite McDonalds monster is 52-years-old

We're just a bunch of daggy kids doing our thing, no? Australian culture has always fascinated me. From the first time I saw The Wiggles on my TV screen, I knew this was an incredible country. I've been staining Courtney Act since I was a teenager, and I will not stop anytime soon. Xanadu is one of the greatest musicals ever written, and the fact that they had to write around Olivia Newton-John's accent only adds to the film. To this day, the story of Steven Bradbury winning the gold at the 200…

Anyone who has applied for a job in the past couple of years knows it's a very tricky process. So much goes into job hunting, and it's not as simple as being the most qualified person for a position. Job interviews sometimes feel like they're taking place in an alternate reality; how you articulate yourself must be carefully curated to make you sound like a good worker. It's unnatural, but it's a bare necessity if you're going to get a job. With remote work becoming far more common, competition…

Just why

Don't take that shot!

I will be honest with you: I have not always been the biggest fan of Reddit. When I was a teenager, I wrote it off as a place where nothing good happens. I thought that Reddit and 4chan had the same user base, and I wanted nothing to do with that kind of person. In college, I learned that Reddit could be an excellent tool for advertising things around campus. I even got in some beef with some dudes on my university subreddit for promoting my comedy group's show Catholic: The Musical.' Some midw…

At some point in your life, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Oh, yeah. Whatever happened to that thing?” Whether that be random fads like fidget spinners or well-respected establishments such as Fudruckers, you’ve noticed that things just go away sometimes. Today, Redditor /u/musicmaniac247 posed this very question, “What eventually disappeared and no one noticed?” The Askreddit thread quickly blew up, garnering over 15 thousand replies. Whether good, bad, funny, or just kind of depressing, res…

The Internet revolts after McDonalds does the one thing they should never do: mess with the price of a hash brown.

On Christmas Day, customers usually have enough shame to not show up at a fast food place. They ask insecure questions about when the company lets the employees go home. When you deliver the sad news that you're working until closing, they retreat to their table to eat their McChicken with embarrassed expressions. Unfortunately, during Thanksgiving, customers have a lot less shame. They find it incredibly quirky to go to Popeyes for Thanksgiving instead of cooking a homemade meal. Working in fa…
