20 Of The Worst Fast Food Worker Experiences That Prove Just How Customer Service Jobs Can Be Awful

You might have heard a horror story or two about fast food workers' experiences. And you might have even thought that it was just an exaggeration.

But no, oh no. When fast food workers tell you stories about their jobs that seem too horrific to be true, you can believe that they're real.

Because it's generally in customer service places like fast food restaurants that you can see some of the worst in humanity.

And it's not just the customers that you'll have to endure on a daily basis; you'll also have to deal with your managers and your coworkers.

To last long in places like those, you need to model yourself after someone like Mother Teresa or even the Pope. The experience will definitely test you.

That's also why people who work in those places deserve a tremendous amount of respect. They go through so much every time they go to work, yet they still force themselves to treat others with respect.

Then again, it might be difficult for some to get a full picture of what they experience daily unless they work in one of those places. So here are a couple of stories that might give a clearer picture of the fast food worker experience.
