I was in the city for almost 8 years and enjoyed an epic run living there in my early 20’s. I recently moved outside of New York City to seek more room, lower rents, and a better quality of life. You’re a good person and a hard worker.Īndy who are you to criticize minimum wage workers? Shoutout to this girl who was clearly embarrassed by the lard ass, she made a new one and was super courteous and helpful. The fat guy chortled “I did it right?! what do you mean” and then it clicked in his cricket brain and he literally stepped back from my burrito took off his gloves and tried to play it off laughing while also relinquishing control to the girl. The other girl working quipped “what are you doing? He just said Orange salsa”. When he finally started, he sloppily began making the burrito.īy the time I got to the salsa part, I said two stripes of orange hot sauce (IYKYK) and I watched him proceed to give me two stripes of Green and two stripes of Brown salsa. In a similar experience at Dos Toros, a fat guy ignored me as the sole customer waiting at the counter for about 3 minutes. You might not think this is that big of a deal but what I am trying to emphasize here is a clear lack of initiative, critical thinking, or basic comprehension and this is hardly an isolated instance. In some regards I pity them, because with inflation, handouts, and the society we live in now, they are forever condemned to an average life. Because of that, they will likely never progress into management or senior roles or have the opportunity to eventually better themselves and get a good job. The ironic part about all of this is that these people don’t do the basics correctly. I will give those guys the benefit of the doubt and assume both were high as fuck. “I’m not going to do that” I responded, and walked out. “Okay you’re going to have to wait for the register then order it and then we can get it started” he said and turned around to chop more meat into large sloppy chunks that no normal human would be enticed by. I said, “do you put rice in your quesadilla man?” He looked back at me puzzled and then turned around and asked another worker “how do I make a quesadilla?” The other worker turned to me and said “You want a quesadilla?” “Yes a plain quesadilla please” I replied He grabbed a burrito tortilla and he proceeded to ask me what kind of rice I wanted. When I got to the front of the line (about 9 people in front of me) I told the guy I wanted a quesadilla. line at Chipotle once, waiting for my turn. Towards the tail end of my time in the city I had some of the worst experiences I have ever had at casual restaurants (Chipotle, Just Salad, ShakeShack, Au Bon Pain, etc.) I stood in. “There's nothing of any importance in life-except how well you do your work.” 2 of them ran out before the official closing at 8:00pm. As I waited the girls behind the counter were more concerned with how many tips they had received than making more money for the business or servicing customers. 3 more people proceeded to come in and try to order and they turned all of them down. They said “yes, but make sure it’s the last one, we want to go home”. As I tried to order the girl at the register asked the cook and other waiters if they were still taking orders. The next day I was in a sandwich/burger joint and I walked in at 7:53pm. They droned on and on checking their cell phones and not servicing anyone else at tables in the establishment.

“I don’t want to be here” “When are we good to leave? I was having a Modelo and some sizzling steak nachos at the bar and overheard the staff gathering by the register: Just the other night I was getting dinner in NJ at a Mexican Restaurant. It’s not just in NYC either, I have seen this is multiple states and experienced the trend first hand in person at numerous restaurants, retail stores, and other venues. I notice it more and more each day in varying capacities.Įverywhere I go I see signs for “help wanted” or “be patient with the workers who showed up” or some other degenerate nonsense.

It started towards the tail end of Covid and is alarmingly apparent in the wake of the pandemic. I’ve begun to notice a pretty disturbing phenomenon.
