TITLE: What is the most depressing/dehumanizing job you've ever worked?
POST: I can't add too much to the conversation, as I've only worked one job, but fast food is a horrible, horrible way to make money; hear me out.

(A bit of background, I have depression and social anxiety, both of which feed each other in a vicious circle, which ends up with me resenting everyone but my family and few friends.)

Day in and day out, I go to work at derp-fil-a. Imagine going to work to do something you are literally afraid of and that literally makes you want to kill yourself. Every day. At work, I have to smile, and be warm, and engaging to people. I have to get down on my knees in the mud everyday to kiss hundreds of asses. People come up to the register on their phones, and rather tell their sweet baboo to hold on or that they'll call them back, they ignore my existence so that they can shoot the breeze with their boy/girlfriend.

It is entirely too often that people become aggravated with me because when I ask them whether their order is for dine in or carry out or what kind of drink or sauce they want multiple times because they ignore my question. I am constantly treated like a monkey at a typewriter because there's no fucking way that anyone who deserves any amount of respect could possibly work fast food. Only stupid people that don't need respect are allowed to work there.
TL;DR: 
You're hated by the very people whose feet you're cleaning. You will always be the one who made a mistake and deserves to be raped if they didn't tell you that they don't ant something that comes standard on the meal
