Current Events > Burger King: "It might be 10 minutes. My kitchen walked out."

(+) Yeah! (+)

"I'm the only one here."

I feel bad for the manager (though they probably had a hand in the walkout). Props to people sticking up for themselves though. If you're placed in shitty situations with no pay, yeah, go ahead. I'm glad I was still able to grab a bite at White Castle before my lunch break was up. I scarved down the last of the fries with about thirty seconds to spare.

I may have to cook more often. There's a Rally's that already closed down and now B.K. has experienced a walkout.

Final paychecks should be forfeit if you walk out or quit without finishing 2-week notice. A lot of places will just drop your final check down to minimum-wage now. You have to sign for it when you get hired.

If there' anything good that came from COVID, it's that workers are actually taking a stand against employers, especially for retail & restaurants.

Yea! If they're treated shitty enough to walk out, they should be punished further for standing up for themselves. Who do these creatures think they are? People? Hah!

You're incapable of posting anything that isn't complete garbage.

Yip, it's because they dont want to work. Not because they're literally becoming indentured servants because of inflation rising significantly faster than wages. Because they're lazy. Has absolutely nothing to do with the fact they're treated like absolute shit and expected to grin and bare it.

seriously though, as a lazy (read:broken) millennial, this revolution isn't ours. stop giving us the credit for the work the kids are doing.

Somehow the garbage can talk.

At least where I live Burger king is the worst staffed of the fast food places. Makes me wonder if the problem is Burger King.

I'm related to a few small business owners and I hear tons of stories about garbage employees.

You sound like you're related to some small business owners, yes.

as a 30 year old i've been walking out of workplaces on a whim since I was 18 lol. Even got me promoted once. I don't care about the "credit" but 10 years ago wasn't exactly ancient history with regards to this stuff

I know widows living off $900 per month in Social Security. They get by fine. Buy what you need not what you want.

Yeah but these are fast food jobs. People working fast food joints arent supposed to be seeing that as a career, those jobs are temporary ones for people who are between work or just starting out.

lol of course shitty employers would be this petty

I used to work somewhere that would hold onto your final paycheck for an extra pay period if you quit without finishing your 2-week notice. It happens.

Dude, you dont have a job at all. Dont speak to things you cant begin to comprehend. Those workers take verbal abuse constantly, have shit load of stuff to do in small windows of time. Imagine the next time you go to Subway its closed because the workers all left. What are you gonna do? You want people to make you your sub, right? Why should they do it for slave wage?

ya so did I, theres a reason I left after a year. Because much like that policy, management and HR were dumb as fuck and didnt know how to retain talent.

im sure your dumb ass relatives have retention problems too, hence all the dumbasses they run into.

My family doesn't put up with anything. We aren't afraid to tell someone "there's the door" if they have a problem at work.

When you get your first job and make your first paycheque after two weeks of work. Then you get to make a credible opinion on this subject.

I remember when I was interviewing for a job, and they said "What's your main reason for wanting to work here?"

"Because I think I can do this job, and you've got an opening that pays a monthly wage... That's about it."

The day that all fast food and retail jobs are unionized can't come soon enough

Some I've worked with would use it just to buy some dope of some kind.

Then on into the next temp job for the same reason.

Isn't rising wages part of the inflation problem? Around here pretty much everyone is making $4 or more over minimum wage because it's hard to get people to work. Corporate execs aren't taking any pay cuts so they make the consumer take up the slack

Dunc working a temp job would be a huge step for him, a step he refuses to take. A step that he needs to take.

That would be theft and illegal. You are legally entitled to pay for every hour you have worked.

This happened at a Steak & Shake I went to once. The entire staff walked out on the manager, and he was the only one left there. I went in to get my order refunded after about twenty minutes of waiting (I was talking to my friend in the car, so didn't immediately realize how much time had passed) and the absolute dumbass of a manager was still taking orders through the drive-thru to add to the line, while trying to cook food and process an entire line of people who walked in to get refunded.

An intelligent manager would have just stopped taking orders, but this guy kept walking away from somebody who wanted a refund to take an order from someone else who joined the line. My friend eventually had to go from car to car in the drive-thru telling everybody what was up both so they wouldn't waste their time, and we could get our own refund faster.

So your family (and obviously you too) are privileged, and you're judging those that dont have the se benefits as you? Or is you "dont take shit" but expect others to take yours? Sounds like a bunch of people who salivate at the sight of a pair of boots to me.

I think some of my favorite restaurants are turning out this way. I'm on the side of the workers though, if they can't treat their own staff right, they should be going out of business.

I applaud the ones that walked out

Imagine eating Burger King on purpose

This. If he says he knows some managers do that then they're breaking the law.

I have a friend who is still trying to get her last paycheck from a drive-thru liquor store she left almost two years ago. She worked her full two-week notice but the owner decided not to pay her. She quit because her husband got a job in another state. The government is very slow on this stuff.
