Today, I was at work at a local hot dog chain. A child (about 10, who I've seen there before) came in to order food for his Dad. He orders very excitedly, and I told him he'd be a great worker here when he gets older. He said "oh no, my Dad says I'm too smart to work in a place like this." FML

LAWL. Love these fast-food ones. Someone's gotta work at 'em. I used to, to pay for college.

Haha, that kid sure told YOU! Don't feel bad though, a job is a job. Too many people don't even have a job.

I doubt that kid is going to college, much less high school. Don't feel bad.

That kid's father will eat his words when he realizes that most young teens have no choice but to work at a similar job. What a condescending asshole. I hate when people make the assumption that you're working at a job like that because you're not doing anything better with their lives. Many of them are paying for college, and I respect them a hell of a lot more than those who don't work while attending school.

Dad is a prick for telling his son that. A lot of people (including myself) work fast food to pay for college.

So? Maybe he is too smart to work for a place like that!

Honestly, if my son told me, "when I grow up, I want to work in a hot dog stand, so I could eat hot dogs all day," I'd probably tell him that he was smart enough to get a better job.

So what? He's being honest? Some of us have potential and ambition, and want to get a real job instead of wasting away in the fast foot industry Now if you're a teenager or using it to help pay for college or maybe as a 2nd job for extra cash (hopefully your 1st job is a good one), it doesn't matter that you work there but seriously...people who know they can do better aren't going to lower themselves to minimum wage jobs. And seriously, what kind of dad would that be if he said "Son, you're only going to be let down in life. More likely than not, you're going to work at a hot dog stand, so I hope you acquire a good taste for them." A good dad isn't going to tell his kid that he isn't going to do any better than the fast food industry just to help your pathetic self esteem. YDI.
