I didn't mean it that way and since I have disabled family members I NEVER say it THAT way. And even still teenagers aren't the only people that work fast food anymore. No matter where you live
it is, but it's also not a job's responsibility. When I was growing up my mom worked two and three jobs but she taught me the things I needed to know to be an adult and get through life
Sorry, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I just thought I'd let you know it wasn't the best term to use, although I agreed with the sentiment
quite frankly my plurk is exactly for this reason, and I don't really care WHAT you or anyone else give the benefit of doubt to. See unlike everyone else I don't care and I'm over it.
Saying you can get away with calling people "retarded" because you have differently-abled family members is like saying you can get away with saying the n-word because you have black friends. It doesn't work.

: this, so much. I can call my sister deragatory terms because she's disabled and is fine with it. Doesn't mean in any world I can call another disabled person it
But, back to the point, when I was a student, I was getting 2k back in taxes.. When you compare that to 150 dollar check from McDonald's it's a huge deal. So I can see why people would quit
Well, teens would quit I mean.. It's your first job, so you make money, and you make just enough to start doing your own taxes.. And your working your butt off for a tiny check not getting any free time
It's good that they do this, this is really a win-win. They don't have to invest thousands of dollars in a new employee and the employee benefits by maintaining a consistent work history.
I think a lot of us used words like "retarded" and "gay" as kids. But part of being an adult is knowing that it's pretty gross to use terms like that. But, I do agree that it is good that the employer posted
that notice. As a teenager, I was plenty book-smart, but didn't have a whole lot of common sense. I didn't even know I would have to file my taxes when I started working, let alone that I'd get a refund rofl
And honestly, even though the foodservice workforce is not predominantly teenagers nowadays, there are also plenty of grown adults who don't really understand how things like that work, either.
