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.

I'm a high school drop out who worked fast food and ended becoming store manager by the time I was 20. You must think a high school diploma somehow makes you smarter than someone without a diploma. I dropped out to help my mom take care of my baby sister who had cancer. Stop putting down people who work fast food and acting like it isn't a real job, fast food work is a very hard and stressful job to have especially for someone who suffers from any mental illness. I suffer from bipolar disorder and social anxiety disorder and without medication I wouldn't have been able to do it. Mental illness of any kind isn't a joke and shouldn't be taken lightly. I have survived 2 suicide attempts and those thoughts even with medications never go away, we fight with our minds daily and its both mentally and physically exhausting
