dude yellow fever is so fucking creepy <| sep |> Restaurant managers in general are some of the dumbest fucking people you ' ll ever meet in your life . Here ' s how most restaurant managers get their job 1 . Get a job in a restaurant . 2 . Suck the owner ' s dick harder than everyone else . That is literally all it takes . I have several friends who ' ve worked in food service for decades , and they all confirm any male kissass with 6 months on the job will make GM over anyone more qualified . Restaurant owners tend to make a good old boys club and promotions are handed out based on personal friendships rather than competence or aptitude . Another reason you see stupid people in that job it ' s one of the worst jobs in the world in respect to worklife balance and the paystress ratio . You are paid relatively little less than $ 20 hour in most cases and are often salaried , meaning you get no overtime pay . You are expected to work more hours than anyone . 6080 hours a week is the norm . You are responsible for everything . Low sales ? Your fucking fault . Shit that isn ' t your fault . is still your fucking fault . That ' s why you see these stupid fuckers in these jobs for so long it is literally the best they can get . They have no other marketable skills , and if they try to go to another restaurant . well . they ' re not buddybuddy with that owner , so they ' ll be exposed as horribly incompetent and get fired pretty much right away . They ' re stuck where they ' re at . That ' s why a lot of GMs are these fat tubolard dudes that just hide out in the office all day and eat . They ' re all stuck in the first stage of grief that comes from realizing that they didn ' t get promoted to a cushy office job , that they now have the job from hell , and they are fucking stuck because now they have to pay for that car and other goodies they bought to celebrate getting it , and nobody else is going to pay them what they make now .
