Anonymous asked: I wanted to ask what it's like to work at McDonalds because there's a job opening there. Is it as fast paced and stressful as everyone makes it seem? Would you recommend it as a first job for a shy/introverted 16 y/o? Thanks in advance. c:
hmm… during rush hours, things can get pretty crazy. i don’t think it was stressful for me, maybe in the beginning when i was trying to get the hang of things. there’ll probably be frustrating moments, especially when you get pressure from your managers. i was always telling myself that this is just a job, not my future, so i tried hard at it, but i didn’t need to break my back over it, you know?
i think i can be pretty shy when i’m in a new environment, but overtime, i got used to it. the head manager would always tell me to be more aggressive and whatnot. just be prepared to deal with difficult customers. but your managers should be able to help you with that.
i’m glad i had mcdonald’s as my first job. it taught me a lot of things in life~ i say just go for it. if you feel like you can’t handle it, you can always quit. you’re not bounded there forever. ;o
