The only reason fast food jobs are less respected, is because the big chains don't pay the employees enough to support themselves. Which doesn't say anything about the employees. There are easier jobs that pay way more and get more respect, despite being easier. So don't let the foolish mentality of judgemental people get in your way. Their views don't even make much sense.

It was the same way when I worked in nursing homes. I was a caregiver/CNA, and of all the jobs in a facility, caregiving was by far the most stressful, difficult and labor-intensive, but we made the least amount of money by far compared to everyone else, and we also got disrespected a lot by other staff, as though we were *lowly*. Truth be told they couldn't handle the work we did, and we worked our butts off, and the facility would have been screwed without us. We just made little money because it's common and accepted in the industry to pay caregivers just a pinch above minimum wage.

Never has anything to do with the employees or even the job itself, only the pay, which is a reflection of a company and not of the employees.
