Nobody likes working at a fast food restraunt, if they do it because…

one: theres no other job around and they need something fast.

two:teenagers looking for something they can put on future applications for job experience.

i hear at school all the time that they wanna job but dont wanna work at a fast food restraunt, that there trying to get hired on at tj-maxx, tanning beds, wal-mart, krogers, pet smart, the movie theatre, & a lot longer list, but they end up applying at fast food restaruants so they have something to put on there future applications.

Septic tank cleaner. My ex son-in-law did this for two years. When he came to my house, his shoes were left outside, replacement clothing for changing in his car, and a huge bottle of hand sanitizer had his name on it.

He had to pass our inspection, before entering.

Do you blame us?

When I was a kid my older brother told me about people whose job it is to spear dead rats in subway tracks. I always did my homework after that so that occupation wouldn’t be my destiny. I’m pretty sure no one likes doing that.

My husband did carpet cleaning for several years. He was miserable! None of the guys there enjoyed the job. Imagine walking in to a house with poop smeared all over the carpet from a baby or animal and having to clean it in hot conditions. and that’s not the worst conditions he came across

Gravedigger, imagine been buried in all that paperwork. Not for me, not in a month of Sundays.

Crime scene clean-up.

For me, cleaning house. I hate cleaning.

Telling an employee they are being downsized.
Ugh!

@worriedguy -Yup. Hateful, hateful task.

No one wants to clean the grease traps at the diner or fast food restaurant. No one. I was not a grill person in my fast food days (I was customer relations, i.e. I hosted the kid birthday parties), so I was spared having to deal with the grill in any capacity.

Hmm, maybe a debt collector? Unless you’re the kind that enjoys the suffering of others…

It’s called work for a reason. We all have different ideas, of course, but the job I’d hate to do is anything involving a desk and/or an office. I’d hate to have to sit and stare at a computer and answer phones and send faxes all day. On top of that, most I know who do have some sort of an office job really seems to hate it, despite it really being a physicall simple job. No heavy lifting or pulling or pouring or even anything to get you remotely messy. If given the choice, I’d rather be the one cleaning the office.

Commission-only jobs. You can work for hours and days on end and never make one cent if you don’t sell anything.

Picking up dog poop after it’s been frozen and then thawed.

I found an article that sums it up very nicely.

Anything involving cleaning toilets. Thank God I have never had to do that.

I’m going to guess that there is no one who enjoys cleaning the private booths at the porn shop.

talljasperman's avatar

@cockswain lol.. not unless they are really weird…lol

cockswain's avatar

Actually, if someone was paid enough, any job becomes likable. Cleaning the porn booths sucks for minimum wage, but for $300,000 it becomes a pretty awesome job.

Seelix's avatar

@gailcalled stole my answer. Aside from kitty litter, I imagine that no one enjoys cleaning toilets.

@cockswain – I have a friend who held that job for a year or so… Ick.

I’ve seen several studies that state that slaughterhouse work is absolutely the pits in all aspects- worker stress, worker safety, etc.

Being the person who puts dogs to sleep at the pound would, for me personally, be the worst job imaginable.

Trump’s hair stylist.

Imagine having to deal with the hairantula that’s being fed by Trump’s “brain”, armed with only a comb and scissors! ;-o

ChocolateReigns's avatar

@Brian1946 Just imagine what that guy is gonna get next year when Trump might run for Pres! I can’t believe he would really try it.

Cleaning the honeywell/greasetraps in restaurants is a pretty unsavory job, right up there with toilet cleaning! Litter box would seem like a walk in the park after that!

Hey kiddies, ever taken… um, intimate care of another? How about a parent?

I’ve done both.

Maybe it’s because Mom just passed a few months ago, but damn—I’ll live under a bridge before I do caregiving again.

Downsizing an employee. Done it.

Clean toilets. Done it.

Elder caregiver. Done it.

Clean grease trap. Done it.

Debt collector. Done it.

Pick up dog poop. Done it.

Serving the public. Done it.

Dishes. Done it (‘natch)

Wow, what does this say about my job history?

But, I’ve never worked in fast food. So, there’s that.
