People flip burgers or have minimum wage jobs for many different reasons.

Some have no skills, some are working through the summer, some are retired and some are just trying to survive.

But it is what it is. Fast food and minimum wage jobs are normally entry level jobs. The motivation should be to get yourself to another level to where you can make more money, prestige, benefits.

Go to a Chick' Fil A and watch how you are treated and how quickly they try to help you. No matter what their race they are heavily trained to take care of the customer.

Now to the Post Office or your run of the mill fast food place and notice the difference.

Depending on the neighborhood and surrounding demographic you will either be treated like a Chick Fil A customer, or you will be taken care of when they get around to it.

If you don't have the education and the skills to work a job that provides you the style of living that you would like then you need to do something about it.

Nobody said life is fair.

Winners make things happen.

Losers let things happen.

Part of the reason Chick-Fil-A is like that is because they have a pretty dang good program to identify certain personality types that have what they're looking for, even in their front end help. Or so I read somewhere once. That's why you get a similar experience at every Chick-Fil-A.
