Fast food service is one of the most dehumanizing soul crushing jobs a person can do. I'm speaking from first hand experience that you're clearly lacking. On top of the abuse the workers deal with from all sides every single day, to have a robot giving you demerits based on specific language is fucking disgusting.

1. You assumed I don't have fast food experience and did not care to even know. It was more important to try and make a point, even if it was in a dishonest way. That says a lot about you. 2. Fast food is NOT one of the most dehumanizing soul crushing jobs. Yes, you deal with a lot of rude customers. But if you go into fast food unprepared for that, that's on you. It is part of the job (also part of hospitality) and it all comes down to how you respond and handle it. 3. If you're working fast food and willing to accept, or are stuck with, a low-wage job, that means there's other readily-available low-wage jobs that you can switch to. Working fast food is voluntary. Since you have so much fast food experience, why did you not address how egregious customer service can be at places like Burger King? It's a problem. I've lost count of the amount of times a bunch of young employees slammed drive through windows on me, had an aggressive attitude simply because something wasn't right in their day, etc. As a customer, I report it, but then feel like nothing gets done. It's my word against theirs. These systems allow management to actually know what's happening, who said what, if someone is disrespecting customers, etc. Based on what you think is disgusting, I suspect you lack a TON of life experience and exposure to the world. My first-hand experience has led me to believe that a 5-year having to be on the streets selling candy full-time is "effing degusting". Your definition if disgusting sounds very first-world.

      Nah, just a different perspective. Private enterprise != Government.

        Yes, private enterprise is far worse than governments. Governments are accountable, the royal centrally planned communist dictatorships that are private enterprise are not.

        I don't even know how to respond to your comment. It's so royally detached from the reality of the world that I don't even know where to begin. So there's only one group that has the power of the sword, and that is the government. There's only one group that holds a monopoly on violence, and that's government. There's only one group that can steal your home, along with anything else they want, using the state powers like eminent domain, and that's the government. You say governments are accountable. Tell that to every Jeffrey Epstein victim and ask them how much accountability there is right now in government as it relates to the integrity of their investigation. I say this with all due respect, but your comment is so far from fact that I think you may be trolling.

        I'm not trolling, private businesses are mostly centrally planned economies and we know how terrible those are for humans. Acting like workplace democracy is a bad thing is beyond pathetic. Liberating the workplace from tyrants is the final frontier of democracy, any entity that can controls one's life without consent from all the workers doesn't deserve to exist. I can honestly think of maybe two business leaders that would survive a vote by their workers to stay in power of the company. Private enterprise enable some of the worst forms of human collaboration (monarchies, oligarchies, centrally planned top down enforced initiatives). Democracies are more efficient and far, so why not legislate their existence in workplaces? If it helps, you sound like the troll to me.

  To your first point, have you worked counter or kitchen at a fast food restaurant? Choosing to attack the other person instead of clearly answering the question that you decided to highlight surely says alot about you too.
