Having done both, this is pots & kettles being pissed at each other for boiling water. Flipping burgers and packing boxes are both trivially easy on their face, and the hard parts of both jobs are accuracy, speed, and figuring out how to get your job done when your capitalist overlords have erased your support staff and passed their jobs on to you.

It's really easy to flip burgers. It's fucking hard to take orders, flip burgers, make drinks, and keep the fryer rolling by yourself while also doing freezer pulls to keep everything running.

It's really easy to throw shit in boxes. It's fucking hard to throw shit in boxes when you've been standing for 10 hours on your day off because of mandatory overtime, none of your equipment is maintained, none of the shit you're supposed to be packing is where it belongs, and your management who are supposed to make sure that shit gets taken care of are busy sexually assaulting the 18 year old new hires.

Everybody's jobs suck and corporate skeleton crews are making it worse. The average $15/hr worker in 2023 is doing 3 to 4 workers jobs from 2019. Eat the rich, Unionize, etc...

Not to mention the occasional psycho who wants to pick a fight because there’s no mayo or something
