It is not just flipping burgers. You have to have excellent people skills. You have to have excellent multitasking skills. You have to be able to handle fast pace workloads, noise decibels of machinery, screaming children, physical health and safety risks.You have to have problem solving skills and be able to diffuse conflict situations that could worsen. Depending on the hours of work...drunks coming in, robbery threats.
You want a real job....get your hands dirty in fast food for a few years, hun.

I have. I'd even go out and say a lot, if not most people with adult jobs once worked fast food or something similar as teenagers.
A fast food job is barely even work at all (sure standing up for 8 hours is tiring and a beeping frying or drunk is annoying) but, hey if requirements for basic multitasking, barely any problem solving and the bare minimum of people skills keeps you challenged, every world needs its workers.
There is a reason these types of jobs and fast food chains are often given and supervised by teenagers.
If superior and excellent skills were actually required, would an 18 year old student or drop out really be capable of effectively completing the duties of a shift supervisor? Obviously not.
But again, if it challenges you, great. I do like to get fries with that sometimes.
