(1,591 posts)has been the best thing for my health in a long time.
The more I started paying attention to my own pre-programmed "order, pay, leave" at over the counter restaurants, I started paying attention to how little common courtesy, minimal effort, lack of eye contact and barely aware attitude some fast food employees display, the more easy they made it for me to go elsewhere, and even start bringing lunch from home.
The cost of fast food crap, the lack of interest by the employees, and the ridiculous amount of time I wasted in lines waiting for crap in a paper bags to be arrogantly shoved at me thru the window, sometimes not even bothering to look me in the eye has been the motivational kick I needed. Instead of eating fast food for lunch every day, I'm down to once maybe twice at most. I have more energy, less lunchtime disappointment, and spend HALF what I used to on lunches.
I thank the poor attitude of some fast food workers, they have improved my health and saved me a few pennies.
