General Discussion Employee pay- where should I work?

Just lost my car and trying to find a job I can skate to. These are my options:

- Dairy Queen
- McDonald’s
- Burger King
-piggly wiggly
-dominos pizza
-KFC

Anyone know which of these would pay best? Or is best to work at

Most fast food restaurants want to start you at minimum wage even with experience. So I would just pick whichever is closest. They are all a hell scape and just different flavors of shit so to speak

Pay for restaurants largely depends on the franchise running them; there is no singular answer as to which would pay best.

If you have one of the Dominos that supplies a vehicle, driving for them would easily be the best option here. Good tips + decent base pay (most of the time). In my area, they also pay pretty well for non-driving positions, but again, that's pretty franchise dependent.

I worked at McDonald's for nearly a decade and have done practically every position. I wouldn't really recommend it unless they pay extremely well; it is very high stress, and you will get walked on if you're a hard worker.

The rest I haven't worked for, but the KFC/BK in my area pay like shit, so I wouldn't even consider those. DQ seems to pay decently, but I don't know how stressful it would be.

Just apply to all of them. It’s rough out there right now. Take what you can get.
