The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[mutantllama]

Just got back from the interview. Everything went well, but the fucking dresscode. They said I would need to keep my hair short. Fuck Mcdonalds, and their fucking dresscode. I had it back in a fucking ponytail also. *edit* They also said no facial hair. I don't have much, but sideburns.

Don't do it dude.

Or go crazy and point out any girls with long hair.
And be like "DOUBLE STANDARDS ALERT"

youre working with food you cant expect to have long hair

It would be back in a ponytail. Also like GFAD said, all the girls have long hair. Also I would even wear a hat.

Yeah, I'm not taking the job. Especially if it's a shitty job (like Mcdonalds).

Because all the girls with long hair shave to work in the food industry.

Don't they have hair nets over there?

^^ See you could have long hair and facial hair plus a wonderful new look as a bonus.

There must be some conservative motherfucker running that McDonald's because I see dudes with long hair working fast food all the time here

 

[skeptik]

rms obviously don't know what the fuck he's talking about, as usual imo.

But if they have 2 people who are going for the job, one who looks cleaner, not long hair facial hair etc and ML, and assuming equal, why take ML? Not saying I agree with it but I will never expect to work near food with long hair, idc about double standards not worth my time to argue it

 

[The Ozzman]

Cleanliness doesn't matter most of the time. If it's a job requirement to not have long hair, then that's how it is. This makes sense in manufacturing/production and whatnot (mostly) because someone's hair could get caught in the machines (if it's long enough).

90% of the time it comes down to experience

 

[mutantllama]

I don't really care too much, because like I said earlier, it's a shitty job.

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, but sometimes it's the only job. For someone like you (young with zero experience), that's about the only type of job you can get other than stocking shelves

 

[mutantllama]

True. I'll just look for another job. It's not like Mcdonalds is the only fast food place.

 

[The Ozzman]

Wendy's pays better anyway iirc

 

[mutantllama]

Yeah. I think I would much rather work at DD. Free coffee ftw!

 

[Belligerent]

Working out =

I haven't been to my gym place in a week. THANKS A LOT, SINUS INFECTION.

Lifting is what keeps me sane, i set my bench goal for 325lbs yesterday and did 9 reps. Pretty happy.

Having a cold decreases stamina rapidly. Hope you get better.

 

[Zephyrus]

A year after I swore off fast food I was 40 pounds lighter. Fact.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I'd say stocking at a grocery store is way better than working fast food.

 

[skeptik]

Word. That's what I planned on doing this summer, but I somehow wound up not getting a job like a lazy bastard.

 

[The Ozzman]

It is indeed. Try doing it for six years like I did. You learn to hate all the shitty nuances of everything with it.

Cleaning shelves is the worst. I can't imagine what it's like in a grocery store.

 

[Zephyrus]

I couldn't imagine working inside all summer. I did more weed-whacking and woodcutting today. It pays to be destructive.
