Today, I was at work at a local hot dog chain. A child (about 10, who I've seen there before) came in to order food for his Dad. He orders very excitedly, and I told him he'd be a great worker here when he gets older. He said "oh no, my Dad says I'm too smart to work in a place like this." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had to go to my 10 year-old son's school to talk about my job being a chef. As I was almost finished, I asked the kids "What would you like to do when you grow up?" Without hesitation one kid replied with a straight face, "Anything but being a douchebag like you." FML
Today, I gave my son a job as a shelf stacker in one of my stores. He is in his thirties and is so dumb that he has been fired from every other job for incompetence. I don’t want him to starve or lose his flat, but I also couldn’t give him an important job in case he screwed it up. FML
Today, at my job as a cashier, a man and his 3-year old son got in line. The father said, "Give this to the pretty lady," looking at me. The kid looks at me, looks at his dad, and walks over to the next cashier. FML
Today, I was supposed to train a new hire, grateful to finally have someone else here with me on my shift. He didn't show up. I found out later that his mother didn't want him working here because she thinks he's too smart for this job. I found him working at the McDonald's a few blocks away. We pay more than they do. FML
Today, I was at the fish store asking if they were hiring. My stepdad decided to humiliate me by screaming at them repeatedly that I'm a good person and that I deserve the job. FML
Today, my 17-year-old employee accidentally called me "Dad". We all got a good laugh from it and went on with our days. Later, after getting her some coins for her cash drawer, she playfully said, "Thanks, Daddy." The customer she was serving? My wife. FML
Today, my son is an idiot, but I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt by giving him a job as a cashier in one of my stores. Within half an hour, I was sent security footage from that store's manager showing my son on his phone, ignoring customers, picking his nose, and stealing money from the till. FML
Today, I was working at the daycare. As I left with my boyfriend, a kid came up to us and said that my boyfriend could do way better. FML
Today, I made a positive remark to the owner of my local groceries store for employing a special needs girl. Not only is the girl not mentally handicapped, she's also the owner's daughter. FML
Today while at my job as a store clerk, I walked by a family. I smiled at their little boy, who responded by flipping me off. As I was walking away, I looked back in time to catch his dad give him a high-five. FML

LAWL. Love these fast-food ones. Someone's gotta work at 'em. I used to, to pay for college.

Haha, that kid sure told YOU! Don't feel bad though, a job is a job. Too many people don't even have a job.

I doubt that kid is going to college, much less high school. Don't feel bad.

That kid's father will eat his words when he realizes that most young teens have no choice but to work at a similar job. What a condescending asshole. I hate when people make the assumption that you're working at a job like that because you're not doing anything better with their lives. Many of them are paying for college, and I respect them a hell of a lot more than those who don't work while attending school.

Dad is a prick for telling his son that. A lot of people (including myself) work fast food to pay for college.

So? Maybe he is too smart to work for a place like that!

Honestly, if my son told me, "when I grow up, I want to work in a hot dog stand, so I could eat hot dogs all day," I'd probably tell him that he was smart enough to get a better job.

So what? He's being honest? Some of us have potential and ambition, and want to get a real job instead of wasting away in the fast foot industry Now if you're a teenager or using it to help pay for college or maybe as a 2nd job for extra cash (hopefully your 1st job is a good one), it doesn't matter that you work there but seriously...people who know they can do better aren't going to lower themselves to minimum wage jobs. And seriously, what kind of dad would that be if he said "Son, you're only going to be let down in life. More likely than not, you're going to work at a hot dog stand, so I hope you acquire a good taste for them." A good dad isn't going to tell his kid that he isn't going to do any better than the fast food industry just to help your pathetic self esteem. YDI.
