There were some good times, there were some bad times
Pros: The pros to working as a cashier at McDonald's are the people you get to meet. Any place really that has a customer service industry will allow you to meet many types of people. I loved working in an environment where people told me that I made their day better just by being cheerful. It is also quite enjoyable to make things like ice cream cones, frapes, coffees, etc. Not because it is a complicated task, but because you made something for someone who then gets to enjoy what you made for them.
Cons: The cons are the people you work with and the customers that are impatient. Coworkers can be moody, managers can be aggressive, and angry customers are intimidating. I wasn't some teen creating havoc in a fast-food joint, I was an adult trying to do my job, which at times didn't go so well. Customers are very impatient when they are in a fast-food restaurant. I didn't upset to many people, but I did have to deal with the effects of others mistakes. I feel like people forget they aren't dealing with robots, but people. People make mistakes, and we have feelings. Not everyone who works at McDonald's is a worthless lowlife, majority are people who found a job to try to make ends meet at home.
