I’m 19M, for the past year and a half I’ve worked at fedex unloading trucks, and it’s hell. it’s well over 100 degrees in the warehouse, the packages are heavy as fuck, and I make $17 an hour. A new McDonalds opened in my town, paying the same rate. I applied there today, because why am I breaking my back at a warehouse when I can make the same working at mcdonald’s?? When I told my mom, her reaction was “you’re going to mcdonald’s?!” in a rude tone. I told her yes, and the exact reason why. My question is, why are some people so opposed to others trying to make their lives easier? Why is fast food work so stigmatized?
