I hate people who are rude to fast food workers. I did that for years and it is hard work. Just because they work at McDonald's doesn't mean they're stupid and less deserving of your respect. Before I got a job in my field, I worked in fast food and retail, and I have an advanced degree. These people work very hard for a living and don't deserve to be treated like they're second class citizens because of their situation in life. Same goes for cashiers and retail workers, whether an entry level employee or a manager. It's a hard job sometimes and after standing on your feet for 8 hours a day it's really crappy to have to deal with rude customers. So you're buying for your business, you own your own business, that doesn't give you the right to treat the store workers like crap. I am grateful to be out of that field and into my field I studied for, and I totally understand how the fast food and retail workers feel. Standing behind the counter taking orders doesn't mean that person didn't get an education. Maybe they were handed a bad deal in life and this is all they could get right now. Maybe they're a mother or father with children they're trying to support. Show a little respect people.
