I went for an interview at Starbucks but after weeks of not hearing from them, I assume I didn't get it. I'm having conflicting thoughts about what jobs I want and I am self-aware that I'm being very picky.
I will settle for minimum wage. But I'm not confident in working at a place where I work with food. Not only that, but I feel like working at fast food places like McDonald's is degrading. I don't want to tell my family or friends that I work at a fast food place.
In short. Can I get a red pill on working at fast food? Maybe I'm being too paranoid and there's no way I can fuck up. Or that I should swallow my pride and easily keep a secret about my job
make some call
Starbucks is basically a fast food place, it's the scum of the coffee world, working at McDonald's is no different,

Starbucks is just as bad as McDonalds, yeah. Why not look into retail? It can be pretty comfy as an entry level gig. I'd give an arm and a leg to go back to working part time retail at 19, some of the best times of my life.

Starbucks is fast food, just disguised as something classier due to their cafe style facade.
Try something like Costco, heard it pays well. Retail may be fine too, but it may be just as tough. Why not a local restaurant? Doesn't have to be fast food or a chain (might have to have connections though).

Thanks for the suggestion. I wouldn't mind some more.
>Starbucks is fast food, just disguised
It's why I feel better working there instead of a blatant fast food place. And that I can work with drinks instead of making a lot of food, which I find more enjoyable.
How about an office job? Some low wage jobs don't require much, you don't have to work with food. I did that and it's working out pretty well.

I felt this way for a REALLY long time. However, I ended up working there for just over 2 years and met some great people. Dated a qt girl there, met someone who ended up being one of my best friends, had fun bsing with managers, I got around 25 cent raises every 6 months as long as I wasn't late or fucked up, and they're flexible with schedules.

How old are you? Why not look into a bartending class?
