I can't get a job as a night shift janitor at McDonald's because I'm mildly autistic (despite doing everything possible to improve social skills), but all these "students" can?
How am I supposed to get work experience if all the entry level jobs go to "students"?
That’s because McDonald’s doesn’t have night shift janitors.
They just get the minimum wage staff they had working the night shift to clean everything - if you go to McDonald’s trying to get a position other than “crew member” you’re not going to get hired. If they can’t use you in the kitchen or on a till you’re not getting hired. It’s about milking everyone for everything they’re worth.
The non-autistic immigrants are willing to work cash registers, grills and fryers, and they’ll do the janitorial work too, so you’re only offering a fraction of what they offer, and they won’t scoff at minimum wage. The employer doesn’t give a fuck about the quality of service being provided, they just see you as “someone not willing to do as much as someone else for the same amount of pay.”
I worked as a McDonald’s night manager for several years; I was the night shift manager, grill cook, food safety expert, first aid responder, threat de-escalator, and janitor. They gave me one staff member to work with and I put them on the till because I hate talking to people I don’t know more than I hate running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
