I have a few friends in the industry. If you are talking about cooking, my opinion of it is mostly negative. Sure, there are many good chefs, but unfortunately, the job is a magnet for people that really wanted to do something else with their life and failed. Those same people are often drug addicts, alcoholics, or just not great people. So, you work with alot of problematic and troubled people. Coworkers being out for prison sentences is common. The pay is not great because there are soooo many people doing it.
Sure, you could find a job at the nicest restaurant in town and avoid some of that, but think about how many of those restaurants there are in your town - compared to how many people in the world think they can cook. It’s like winning the lottery to get that job.
Can confirm, my friend worked as a cook for 2 different places (not fast food, local restaurants) for a while because he needed money in college. He told me it’s the most stressful job he’s experienced and the pay wasn’t worth the effort. Nobody in the kitchen wanted to be there, in prime hours there are so many orders that they can’t help but rush everything while shouting to each other.
I can imagine how tedious that job is, having to make the same food for months except you’re always time pressured and told to do it faster. Working as a waiter or cashier is way simpler and I imagine the pay difference isn’t massive.

Damn this reads like it was written by the parent of a 17 year old host that got fired 😂
You need to go out more if you think kitchen staff are such lowly pieces of shit lol.
Good chance your lawyer is addicted to xans. Doctors get friends to write them scripts for narcotics all the time. Cops are notorious alcoholics.
Rehabs are full of white collar druggies. They’re just more palatable to people who like to clutch their pearls
I didn’t say “All kitchen staff are trashy people”. I said the industry attracts more than the average amount.
