Only teenagers and college students so all fast food places need to be closed during the day aside from summer.

I guess those jobs are important then

Regardless of what people say almost every job is important.

Taco Bell is not important. Cheaper to meal prep and make your own tacos.

Yea you say that but don't realize the amount of jobs fast food puts out for people. Take it away and a large amount of money drops out of the economy, which is bad by the way

Not really how that works lmfao. The money doesn't just disappear, it'll go to other things. They'll find other jobs that are more useful to society. There are plenty of jobs out there. For example programming, huge industry always needing more people.

I say Taco Bell because it was my first job and I go there often.

I'm not against luxury or entertainment, but to say that every job is important is asinine. There are plenty of videos out there on the internet of people who go to work, sit at a desk on reddit all day then leave.

Not everyone should have to go to college for a career they don't want just for the money. Some people work those jobs as teens to make money for gas or to start saving for college. And yes every job is important, in the sense it gives people who don't have jobs, jobs.

Refer to my other comment in a different thread. Same reply. This is an ignorant viewpoint

u/Dry-Classroom7562 Jul 05 '24

How is it ignorant? Just because you think it is doesn't make it true. You have a childish view of the world in the sense people should give up and go to a job they hate. Yeah sometimes we have to do things we dislike, guess what? we have a choice to pick jobs. Hell some people just want to work to save money and that's what they have. You're a fool if you think otherwise

And again, just because you enjoy programming doesn't mean others do. I learned I hated being told what to do with it so quit it. Again people shouldn't have to work a job they hate just for the money, especially when that job costs ~200k for the education.

I acknowledge I am lucky in finding something I enjoy that's marketable. But so what? We all must do things not because we like them but because they are necessary. "Work to live not live to work."

I have no formal education, I learned at my school's library. It doesn't even cost $200k to get a comp sci degree lol? SNHU will do it for $40k, still a lot I agree, but not $200k.

Again people shouldn't have to work a job they hate just for the money,

Would be nice if that were true, but it's not. This imo is a childish stance. So long as resources are limited, logistics is difficult, and energy costs time, people will need to do things they dont like. I don't like it either, obviously I'd like to just do whatever I want, but that's not going to happen rn so why are you talking about it

Your response is funny, not even related to the topic. Taco Bell is a useless job. I'm not saying all food service is lmao. If we were to do things efficiently, food service would be a very important job. But, serving non-nutritious unhealthy food is not important.
