For health reasons alone, it's really best to keep away from the fast food, and Peak Stupidity has done fairly well on that score over the last few years - once or twice a week max, perhaps. It's nice to have some encouragement in this matter from the employees themselves.
It's always the black girls that just have absolutely NO UNDERSTANDING of customer service. I understand that pretty much none of the people working in fast food behind the counter enjoy the work. It's just a job, and the best many people can get nowadays in this middle-class-genocidal shitshow of an economy we have (when you don't do manufacturing - meaning creating wealth). I don't expect to have my ass kissed or get any kind of smile. I could not keep a smile up for more than a few minutes at a time myself. Further, I don't expect any rapt attention to customers while the employees stick new fries in, put food in the bags, and all that stuff. They are not stewardesses, and it's not First Class on a 777 to Hong Kong.
However, the deal is, when a customer is ready to interact with you, you look and you listen. It just takes 10 seconds for a guy who has already looked at the menu up there, while in line. No, these girls will just keep their conversation going, while I'm trying to order something. Since it goes on, and the girl has not even looked at me, I can't tell if she caught the "no onions, no mayo" or not, bringing the chance of the order being correct even lower. They WILL NOT STOP talking to each other, which would be damn rude in any setting, much less right while you're in the process of selling something.
One could say that it's what you get for the money - meaning the low pay they get. That doesn't explain the non-black girls and guys that just take those 10 seconds to do the customer service part of the job. Some will even get a joke, but it's kinda rare, and maybe a little too much to ask.
Surly, rude black employees are very good for my health. Kudos, ladies!
Back in the early 1980's, Fast Times at Ridgemont High demonstrated the art of customer service:
It's one of my favorite movie lines of all time!
(Yes, that is a young Nicholas Cage back there making breakfast biscuits.)

Forgive the fandoy-ism, but one more if I may:

(and yes, he did a bad thing with the adultery, but he redeemed himself; I see this as more impressive in its way; prodigal son-style....)

No worries, mate. If you explore so-called "reality-teevee" I wholeheartedly endorse and agree with a perspective it is execrable. Remember when eMptyVee used to show videos and a weekly lie concert from real bands? The Real World ruined that.
Ramsay's shows I recommend as a counter-example. Gordon Ramsay is an old-school Scotsman who could generally give a %#! about Hollywoo and it shows in that he owns multiple word-class restaurants such that he was swimming in money before he ever became a "Teesvee Personality" and what's more he paid his dues and worked his way up to that from being a dishwasher so the teevee shows he does are from his interest in helping people and teaching young chefs and genuine motivation; he doesn't need anyone's money, etc. and he does what he he wants – he could not care less about Hollywood and doesn't need them; his restaurants and his cookbooks pay the bills handily, and he is uses his enormous wealth to help sick kids and such. He's the Mel Gibson of reality teevee, as it were. (If you watch the original Kitchen Nightmares shows he did with the BBC you will see how he does things without the impediments of silly AmeriKKKan production, or watch his Master Chef Junior show you see he genuinely cares about helping the children realise their dreams. He even has free series on YouTube teaching anyone interested how to cook healthy, tasty food to get the masses to abandon processed crap (cf. his "Real Fast Food" series on YouTube.} A family man happily married with five kiddos he is the real deal. He's the real deal and if you investigate, the people who follow through with his suggestions save their businesses, and those who do not, fold; he really does try to help these people.
I cannot think of any other such "reality show" that is not nonsense.

PS: Autochthon, I forgot to reply on this. This is a simple text area, and the program would have stripped away your html tags, so that's all you got, it just pasting 'em in. Sorry. It's not fancy, but then it's probably more secure this way.

PS: Yeah, Autochthon, if it's your hobby or "thing" I can understand. For quite a while I've had a post about reality shows on the back burner. It's probably time for that.

PS
The production is super corny on all such shows, and 99% of them are 99% staged. Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell I like, because he genuinely is a nonpareil expert at hospitality, he genuinely tries to help people who genuinely need help, what happens is not staged (I know from people who have worked on the production and who have worked in the restaurants he has visited); and I really have learned a lot about what to be wary of in restaurants, how to make and discern good, fresh, food; and about leadership and running a business from Gordon Ramsay. The cheesy music and so on are just the price one must pay to survive on AmeriKKKan teevee.
Anyway, cheers!

PS: Autochthon, I watched your two clips and am now dismayed in a number of ways. Besides the idiocy with the phones that you point out, the background music in those "reality" show clips sounded like Jason Bourne was getting chased around some city in Europe by 2 or 3 "asserts" at a time. The only drama was whether these people would get served dry chicken?
Reality shows are not my thing for a number of reasons.
Thanks for the reply, Autochthon.

(I'm not sure how your blog handles hypertext, forgive me if the tags show up instead of the formatting.)
It's not just fast food. Twice in Kitchen Nightmares Chef Gordon Ramsay encounters this phenomenon of Negroes incapable of stopping their gabbing to do their jobs. In one case the hostess at a soul food restaurant is caught talking on her cell phone and to her friend in person (yes, both simultaneously!) by Ramsay, who scolds her, the leaves to tell the owner what he has seen. Amazingly, the moment Ramsay leaves the hostess to tell the owner, she calls her friend right back to giggle about how she was chastised for being on the phone, and is still on the phone complaining about what a mean jerk Ramsay is for not letting her talk on the phone when Ramsay returns with
the owner. It's really a thing to see for sheer chutzpah. (In this episode the hostess is only the worst offender; several other of the (Negroe) staff are constantly having to be told by the owner of the place to stop talking on their phones during their shifts.)
In another episode of the show, the Negress owner of the restaurant herself won't stop talking on her cell phone throughout the evening's service
Perhaps one day scientists will isolate the "can't stop having unrelated conversations long enough to focus on a task" gene in Negroes.

PS: I guess the elites have been successfully, whether it was their explicit intention or not, of getting American used to living in the 3rd World. The idea is no middle class, 98% poor peons that elect AOCs and Bernies to get them more shit, and the 2% richies with the big walls with broken glass embedded on top to protect their compounds.
It didn't have to be this way.

PS After listening to two nights of "debate," on the subject of income inequality the Democrats are brain dead. One guy mentioned labor unions, but went nowhere with it, and other than that it was, "punish the rich" and "raise the minimum wage."
Not one person even started on the middle class, and reestablishing working jobs that have value to the economy by actually making things that are useful to society. Yes, they touted "green jobs," but those are undefined, will probably be overseas, and even if domestic will almost certainly not be the equivalent of yesterday's factory jobs.

PS Oh, I was not disputing your point. Far from it. Actually, I was reinforcing it a bit, since if it was low pay that could be used to justify the attitude. But in California they have the $15/hr they demanded and still treat customers badly.

PS: California government has always been delusional, and we'll see how that $15/hr. works out. However, Bill (check out my Inflation Topic Key for many posts), it's really NOT much money in Cali anymore.
If we leave that aside, even if one gets pay that's low enough to produce an uncaring attitude to the employer, I see no reason to take it out on the customer. These people behind the counter may not connect "hey more customers - more chance we stay open" or "I can get more hours" or don't care about that, but rudeness is just not called for nonethless.

PS In California it's already $12/hr, and in San Diego at least, the law already has incremental increases to $15/hr by 2020.

PS: Demanding is one thing, Bill, but I was under the impression it's closer to the minimum wage, < 10 bucks.
If it gets too high, the machines WILL take over.

PS Low pay? They are demanding $15/hr to start. Democrats are declaiming that their work is worth $15/hr to start and that they should, in fact, be paid much more than that.
I will write that post on reality shows shortly.
I will look at your 2 latest links.
