People are such assholes to me, just got screamed at because this guy's card declined. I felt bad for him, but he was just screaming and being a giant asshole. It's so loud I can't make any sounds out over the constant beeps of timers, and I'm always startled by the shit.

I really hope I can get on disability

Fast food workers should be allowed to kill rude customers as a treat

How do you get on disability?

I'm Autistic, btw.

I'm not really sure. The doctors really like me and see how psychosis has eaten at me over the past few years. I've had a lot of people here advocate for me at important times. Schizophrenia is a much easier sell for disability, and I'm guessing that's why they're offering

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wait, they're offering you disability benefits?

If so, maybe you should take it!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They're getting me applied yeah, they think I have a pretty good case to get it. But that's really up to the state.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Weird question, but do you get the money or benefits directly?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My dad's leg CAME THE FUCK OFF in a motorcycle accident and they reattached it and he went back to work for twenty more years before his disability got approved.

Good luck! I mean that sincerely

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

I understand, and thank you.

This is why I sometimes order food, tbh.

I'm so glad that my veganism gives me a huge incentive to avoid restaurants as much as possible.

I'm so uncomfortable with the thought of employees fucking up my order or restaurants being untrustworthy that I've gotten nicely adapted to cooking at home 99% of the time. It’s healthier, it’s cheaper, and it encourages you to learn how to cook.

Hell, I don't even like going to exclusively vegan restaurants at this point because there are quite a few brands that eschew animal products which I'm still not comfortable with for personal reasons, such as Beyond, Daiya, Impossible, and MorningStar. I know that a lot of plant-based restaurants still incorporate these products in their dishes.

Some will say the brand name, but some do not. For example, you might see a menu item that simply says "Plant-Based Burger", but it doesn't tell you what brand the patty comes from or if it's homemade or what not, and oftentimes, my socially awkward ass doesn’t feel like pestering the staff to find out.

Honestly, outside of name brands they're not particularly untrustworthy, the employees are usually really chill, and its nice to socialize in public some, but it is 100,000% healthier and cheaper to cook and eat at home, so makes sense to do so for 90%+ of meals

Lifelong cook who's never ever worked fast food cause I just couldn't. Try getting a dish job at a sit down place. If you can handle fast food you're tougher than most cooks.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I actually have 5 years of kitchen experience, from dishwashing to being a capable chef. I tried getting a real kitchen job for a long time with no luck, I'm in good because of desperation :/

They don't even have me as a cook, I just work the window. It's such bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

Daaaang. It's gotta be tough where you are to have a good kitchen resume and not pick up a kitchen job. That's supposed to be part of that deal, it's a rough gig thst pays bad but you can find a job easy

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Never been to McDonalds (or basically any other fast food restaurant).

My dietary choices definitely help with that, there's only one kind of "meat" I eat.
