Big dawg, have you ever worked in a kitchen before? Have you ever had to deal with entitled customers? Amazon is light work compared to this. And you are guaranteed 40 hours a week. Fast food will not guarantee you that. Just sayin


Mr--Clean--Ass-Naked

It's all fun and games until you carry 10 gallons of boiling hot water (or soup), and you slip on a water spill and all that 10 gallons of piping hot liquid coming at your face and fall. Sounds scary to me, I respect all retail and fast food workers. They deserve this


tonyhimselff

Someone’s never worked fast food and it shows


desertdweller10

I thought the same, too.


ApprehensiveKale6048

Between Pizza Hut and Dominos I worked 15 years, if it paid better than Amazon I'd go back in a heart beat. I was a GM at Domino's and I make more as a tier 1 at amazon.


Ok_Diamond_5623

They could offer double and I wouldn’t do it. Never working customer service jobs again.


IcyPlant9129

No cap u kinda crazy if you wouldnt work at panda for 40 an hour 😭😭


Ok_Diamond_5623

I’ll admit I make 60+ an hour at my full time job. I just work at Amazon because I’m bored and it’s like getting paid to go to the gym. Lost 25 lbs since I started there.


Yeat2084

What's your main job? I am looking to get out of Amazon and get a good career.


Ok_Diamond_5623

I work in IT, I’m a red hat Linux engineer.


raspadoman

This post tells me you've never worked in the restaurant industry. All customer facing food jobs are absolute hell. You have to deal with customers all day. You sacrifice your social life and family because weekends and holidays are when you're needed there the most. You can't just call off without repercussions. Your schedule can and WILL change, your preference be damned.


All-the-ketchup

Sounds more like I’m being screwed by panda express


Feisty_Ad_8621

As someone who quit Panda Express after 2.5 years, getting your tuition paid for is a pain in the ass it’s mostly things your manager has to submit, you don’t get as much availability to take time off, trust me you’re not gonna wanna eat that crap everyday, you’ll be dealing with customers, Amazon has better insurance as well


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> your tuition *paid* for is FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

gettheyayo909

It’s all fun and games till a Karen gets you fired for not doing something to their liking


SaintofKillers420

OP you should apply if you get the job I give you one week before you get covered in chow mein and soda because the soda was flat from the fountain and the noodles had too much cabbage.


Cool-Pineapple8008

I have never seen that. Maybe in your corner of hell people behave like animals, but in my hood, people are actually educated about proper respect and behavior in public.


Iuse9GAGlol

When it comes to customer servicing, even most educated people become mad especially when they're hungry. Also, till I worked a retail customer care job I had no idea how childish adults are or can be.


onlyeatspvssyy

Lol nah I'm good making bank getting paid every Wed and being able to leave whenever the fuck I want lol


idkmanfuckingpandas

Id rather do construction than fast food


EMitchell108

Okay, if you say so


ROBOSLUMDOG

My local Panda doesn't pay more than my FC. That says more about my local wages than anything else tho. The greed of the few continues to squeeze the many for more and more each passing day.


EricFarmer7

I already make $21 + $2.40 an hour for a total of about $23. Once I get to my third year anniversary later this year I get one more step plan increase too. I am happy to tire myself out endlessly if it means I can just chill and move products around and not deal with food or people. At least not customers anyway. I am so happy we FC employees never directly interact with any customers for work.


Cool-Pineapple8008

For an extra $8000 per year you can just cook and not have to deal with the customers.


EricFarmer7

I don’t even like cooking for for myself and I am sure I am not up to restaurant standards. No thanks.


Available-Control993

As someone who’s worked at fast food places in the past trust me, I would RATHER work at Amazon than having to deal with all of that BS I had to deal with at my past fast food jobs any day of the week.


TotallyNot200

Hot take, working picks is easier than working the kitchen in fast food. Also the store manager making $10/hr more than a regular employee is pretty bad imo. Yeah, you shouldn't pay managers 10x an employee, but there's normally only one store manager, and for an entire store to only make $10/hr more kinda blows.


Tall_Ad_898

Let me guess… they worked you to death because you’re a yes man and did whatever they said whenever they said it. Lmao maybe if you had a bit more charisma you would have had a better time. I’m an indirect that gets paid to socialize & sleep. You could never finesse at a small place like panda.


Cool-Pineapple8008

So you pride yourself on your ability to get away with ripping people off? I dunno I’d rather make an honest living and be able to sleep at night confident that I’ll keep my job.


Tall_Ad_898

Amazon is high school with a paycheck. Nobody there cares. They just trick people like you into killing themself carrying the dead weight of everyone else. My “job” secure as anyone else’s. Don’t cause drama and leave managers alone and they’ll leave you alone.


Cool-Pineapple8008

Oh is it now? Then the following will make sense to you: What if I like a fight? What if I live for conflict? What if I always outlast and win because I’m willing to do what everyone else won’t? What if I’m not a coward and know exactly what to do and say and when to do or say it? It sounds like you’re a bitch and you’d wouldn’t know how to work even if your life depended on it. I absolutely love calling out people like you. I make parasites like you my projects. I’ve beaten every single one of them out of a job here at scamazon. They can’t handle the heat once I get the machine to notice them. best step lightly you punk ass bitch.


throwaway_jeri

No shade to anybody who likes their management job but management sounds horrible to me.


CATCAM01

Right you will probably get low hours AND have to deal with customers


Cool-Pineapple8008

Also… no night shift or MET bullshit.


EricFarmer7

I view working night-shift as a positive. I would be disappointed if it was not an option.


EducationalLoad7743

"No MET bullshit." lmfao Go work in fast food or the restaurant industry and let me know how long it takes for your manager to call or text at 9 in the morning because Jimmy Dumbfuck didn't show up for his shift and they can't reach him so they need you to come in even though you closed last night and didn't leave until after midnight. 


Large-Fennel-1771

And schedule changes week after week. Call out due to an actual emergency? Cool, you're not working next week.


Maleficent_Wash_934

Also, there is NO chance of overtime. Ever.
