I'd hate that job if I had to take it ..but I will say this much. You get what you pay for.
The ONLY complaint I have and it goes to any service industry related person...
How hard is it to say Thank you, and You're welcome? Seriously?! That's all I ask. I'm always nice..ask how they are etc. Just do the same.
Otherwise, again you get what you pay for.

but that's what you get for eating dead decaying cow and saturated fats. that industry has the worst karma.
Are you fucking kidding me? Are you so daft and so oblivious that you think the fast food industry has the worst karma... or any karma at all for that matter????
There are people who professionally torture other people... meaning, they do it as a job. Do you seriously think that the gal taking your order at Mickey-D's has some kind of bad mojo associated with her.... let alone WORSE mojo than an executioner, interrogator that routinely utilizes torture, or some scumbag pimp???
You really can't imagine anything worse than a burger-chain? Meat eaters be damned!

I just like how someone working as a con artist/hustler to married men for their money (which typically SHOULD be going towards their kids and wives) has any room to talk about Karma related to the service industry. As if they are exempt because they can do no wrong ..seeing as they aren't taking part in animal torture.
Nevermind the fact that most of the items served at a titty bar aren't "vegan" friendly. Or the seats we sit upon ...possibly shoes most are wearing.
That's all.

Deadcowburgers are only 99 cents, but if you REALLY want to enjoy yourself, there's nothing like a really great steak at a fine steakhouse. I once took my dad out for the Silver Butterknife Steak at a steakhouse in Minneapolis. It costs $99 and is the second best cut on the cow, and is so named because you can cut it with a silver butterknife. (And I did try this, and you really could.)
The best cut was the Golden Butterknife steak, but that was $109.
99-cent dead, decaying cow is good, don't get me wrong. But $99 dead cow is fucking awesome.

-I don't poke my head into any veggie thread and randomly scream about how much I love meat. WTF. Move along.
-I agree with Sophia Ashley about just a please and a thank you or at least some modicum of civility, regardless of how much you're being paid. I was completely polite to you, please return the favor. It's not difficult.

Say WHAT?:O
let me explain.
Kiera believes that buying fast food means that people that work there should be treated like shit because that's their karma for being part of an industry that tortures animals. (at least that's how I took it) which is hilarious considering karma in OUR service industry can sort of work the same way. Sometimes we end up breaking up families, drive people into debt. But hey it's all supply and demand ...right? We wouldn't have a need for a JOB doing just that if there weren't people so willing to pay for our services.
And it makes just about as much sense.
Yes I'm a dancer. Yes I'm full of bad Karma and yes I eat dead animals. In fact I wear them on my body along with the clothing I purchased from some money out of a mans wallet that was probably intended to get his wife something instead.
And no my post wasn't supposed to be an intro to a drama llama thread.

100 times more expensive means 100 times tastier, I'm sure!
Have you ever been to a Brazilian churrascaria ("house of barbeque") restaurant, aviendha? It's possible that even a staunch vegan like keira might be tempted by the awesome array of roasted meats carved right at your table...

:yes: I noticed this when I was a militant teenage vegetarian. My mom was sick of hearing about it, sick of the PETA literature and dinnertime sermons, and made a point of cooking rice in chicken broth and things like that just because she was irritated with vegetarianism. A decade later after the sermons stopped, my mom has gone veg of her own volition. I found a vegetarian cookbook with some delicious recipes and mailed it to her out of the blue (I am no longer a vegetarian myself but still love vegetarian food), and she liked the recipes so much she decided she didn't need meat anymore. She's been a vegetarian for about four months now.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your cause is to shut the fuck up. Stop telling everyone how much better you are because you only eat raw vegetables, and maybe they'll stop blaming your nastiness on malnutrition.
Now I want carne asada.

I thought they were originally fried in beef fat, but not anymore.
But the whole point of Keira's comment is that the fries were turned over as karmic retribution for not being vegan.
Give me a break. For all we know, txchick could have ordered only fries and a coke.
aviendha
09-09-2008, 01:27 AM
Especially now that they're fried in vegetable oil.
I always thought fries ended upside down because they tipped over in the bag. That'd be gravity, not karma. And we all know how gravity was discovered! Newton didn't get conked on the head with a box of fries!

No I get it. But not all dancers are "con artists". Some of us are straight entertainers; I don't promise what I can't give, am honest in my dealings, and I don't feel that I have bad karma because of it. You mentioned "con artists" and I was like "Whhaaaa...??"
Not trying to incite a drama llama mess either. :iloveyou:

Yeah, it's sort of like a nonsmoker telling a smoker to quit. It just irritates the smoker into smoking more.

I was just thinking. Oil, as we know, consists of decayed animal and vegetable matter compressed over millions of years. So then are vegans allowed to drive gas-powered cars? Or eat fertilized plants, or use electricity that doesn't come from wind turbines or hyroelectric sources? Or use plastic?
(Yes, I'm being silly.)
Emily

Fast food is gross though, you have to admit. Most of it isn't real food. Just a bunch of preservatives.
Gross preservatives + shitty service + poorly handled food = why even go there?
I do like Subway though. This way I can watch them make my sandwich and I can make sure they don't mess with it. And they are polite too.

^ Good ole Arby's. Haha. Here is what Arby's did for me:
*Helped finalize my decision to become vegetarian (um, they call it roast beef, but it would be far more correct to call it Roast Beef Shaped Bologna.
*Their bullshit employment practices and treatment of employees incited a healthy rage against "The Man," which got me even more interested in politics
*Taught me how to multitask and do it damn quickly
*When it came down to needing money FAST! in college, I jumped on the stripper bandwagon as soon as I was emotionally ready. As long as its possible for me to strip, I will never again wear a visor indoors and call myself a fast food employee.

Meh... once I specifically said REPEATEDLY 'no cheese or dairy' on my burger and even the PACKAGING said 'no cheese or dairy' when I got it... but there ws cheese in it. I went to the table said "I SAID NO CHEESE, I'm allergic!" (in reality I'm just Jewish but nobody gives a shit if it's religion related) and went to the toilet to puke it up. (Yes, it actually meant a lot to me to purge myself of this offense to G-d)
I didn't MEAN to be rude, but I was a bit and when I was done came back to apologize for yelling at them. They spent twenty minutes arguing who's fault it was and this poor shaky leaf of a girl was made to hand me back a repaired order and a 'good for anything with management' pass to the store.
Poor things. I threw the pass away.

I thought they were originally fried in beef fat, but not anymore.
Just FYI in case it matters to anyone...Theres still beef flavoring in them:
Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*), citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent). *
CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK (Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients).

I asked my local fast food joint and they said they only fried in vegetable oil.. could they have been lying?

the only time i get mad is when i'm really hung over and i order a burger at mcdonalds and ask them to add bacon, and after being charged an extra $1.80 or something for bacon THEY FORGET TO PUT IT ON.
i get especially mad since this happens in drive-thru and i'm always at home before i notice. it's devastating

emily isn't even a vegan. I'm hardly a "militant" vegan. Saying that hamburgers are dead cows in a thread talking about bad service from fast food workers is hardly unrelated and sensationalist. I don't even like peta. I don't do any sort of animal activism aside from my personal dietary and lifestyle choices. I don't even like telling people that I'm vegan if they offer me something non-veg, i just say no-thank you. 5 years ago when i first went vegan, yeah you could totally call me a militant vegan then, I was a tee-shirt wearing, leafletting, protesting teenage veganazi... but not anymore.

Well yeah, but when you have a reasonable expectation like "fries don't contain milk," then it's not a sin if you eat them and it turns out that they do. You just check next time.
what's the deal with dairy?

Jews aren't allowed to mix meat and dairy. We can have either meat or dairy, but not both. It's fine for you guys to do it, but we Jews no can haz cheezburger.

Eating dairy and meat in the same meal or within 3-6 hours of each other (if meat is before dairy) (depending on severity of belief) is a sin in Judaism.

but... why? like is there any particular reason behind it? or is it just like "you can't do that because it's wrong"?
