Is it a good idea to work at your favourite restaurant?

Question

I was told that working at your favourite fast food restaurant would cause you to dislike their food, but my argumentive brother dismisses the thought.

Which is correct?

Answer 1

Generally, restaurant employees stop wanting to eat at wherever they work because there are there all the time, and typically get to eat the food there for free or at a reduced price before and after shifts.   You won't start to dislike the taste, you just won't want to eat at the place where you work.

Answer 2

I love KFC and cooked there.  I never lost the taste for the chicken.....  Mix up the menu and it will not be an issue.

Answer 3

Your opinion of the restaurant would probably change. You would see your favorite food items in their naked form, without the fancy wrappers. Having cooked in Ct restaurants for years, I think that often the food becomes just a "product" to you and no longer a treat. It has become part of your work. A lot of it depends on your own attitude. I have worked at two of my favorite fast food restaurants and still eat at both, regularly. You may love the food, but not necessarily the job.

Answer 4

Its true, ull hate the food and become sick of eaating it all the time. It happend to me when i worked at TGI's Friday.
