One of my cousins is in college and she got hired at a Zaxbys restaurant in September she was such a good employee that she got offered an assistant manager position after only a month working.

Honestly I dont really have much pity for those working at at fast food joint that want more pay because most of the time I look around in such a place and only 2 or 3 employees are really putting in a good effort at working.I worked at a restaurant in high school and this was the case for most of the employees.I thought the the job was lousy and the pay but it inspired me to bust my ass at work and to try my hardest. When I got out of school I joined the Air Force and I advanced pretty quickly because I spent the time to know my job and I started studying for the two advancement tests for Staff Sargent as a result I earned the grade in only 4 years some people dont even get promoted once in 4 years if they enlisted at E-3 which many people do now a days.If you really try at something you will succeed.My advice to any fast food worker if they like that work is to go to culinary school and work from there.

And this is yet another testament to what is call "hard work" and "working smart".
