IIN that I don't understand how anyone could willingly do this?

Wow, someone sounds fucking spoiled rotten.

As other's have already said :

1. It's money.
2. It's job experience.
3. When you're young jobs like that can actually be fun.
4. You can work your way up and make decent money if you want to.
5. You meet a lot of young people which you can date.
6. I've never heard of anyone looking down at girls or even guys working at a fast food place if they are young. It's expected.
7. In some locations like small towns fast food type jobs are mostly what there are.
8. Not everyone wants a serious job. There are many retired people working at fast food places for fun and to be social.

9. Stop sucking your mommy's tit and get out in the real world and get yourself a job you spoiled brat.

10. I knew a guy in high school that worked at Mc Donalds and he not only gave us all free food (thanks bro) but he stole over $4k from the register and then travelled around the world.
Obviously stealing was wrong but oh well it's his karma not mine.

Oh sorry I wasn't supposed to say that, opppsy.

True story.
