@Jesus Gutierrez Yeah, on the third year... in the middle of a five-year employment period. Only one raise was given. Just one. Period. How about you pay attention to what you read?
There's a line dude !! We all loves him ... Most ppl here are in love with him ... I wonder if he knows. Buddy if you're reading this, you are a catch and some special ppl will pay u good money just to be present in their lives. Switch to naughty and see the money falls.
I did as well . And I was thinking he was going to get into trouble for making a video for it . I’m sure owners to like you to put them on blast good or bad
Dude, my hat is off to you. I watched your "day working at subway" video and it looked like a lot of hard and tedious work. You deserved a lot more money for that. My last job was a trucking job. It was extremely easy and I made $27 an hour. I wouldn't want to deal with what you had to deal with on a daily basis. People that work those types of jobs deserve a lot more. Dealing with the public is one of the worst situations in my opinion. I recommend you go into driving a truck. It's solitary and isn't hard work once you learn the basics. Good luck to you.
I always hated Jared Fogle. Something about him always rubbed me the wrong way. Then one day my hatred for him all made perfect sense to everyone when they all found out that he rubbed plenty of people the wrong way.
I am sure your co-workers and friends valued your effort and personality. Your situations reminds me a lot about my 3 years at 5guys, the owners and management was absolute garbage. But there are always the great memories made. I wish you luck on your journey in life.
I've worked Subway and other retail and food service gigs, so when you say you were there for 5 years, that's the equivalent of 15 in any other job, no joke. 5 years working in fast food is monumental. You were clearly such a good employee that went in with a good attitude even when you didn't want to be there. They were lucky to have you and I'm glad you stood up for yourself and chose a better path. If they wanted to keep you, they should have treated you like it.
@@dahalofreeek Bahaha right?! But that's also why I think the world would be a better place if everyone was required to work a fast food job at least once in their life
No joke... I worked in fast food when I was 17 & lasted four months. Several years later I work in a white collar corporate environment and the stress pales in comparison.
@@alextaylor1220 Damn! When I was 13 I started at Taco Bell and worked there until I was about 15/16. I credit the reason being how amazingly supportive and compassionate the management was. But damn, we saw it all. Because of that job I became very disillusioned and jaded at a very young age lol. However, I still haven't experienced such an amazing manager or management team since then, despite drastically pivoting to more white collar careers. Management truly is the backbone of every single job. Shit management = unsatisfied employees, extremely high turnover rates and toxic work environments- and that goes from Taco Bell to construction to accounting to computer engineering to any career field. It doesn't matter the job, it's about management. That Subway won't keep any decent employees because they show in their actions that they don't value them as people. It's really that simple, it's not rocket surgery lol
toasty, i don’t know if you’ll even see this but i found you because i just recently got a job at subway and before my first day i looked up videos and i watched both of yours and i thought you were a pretty funny dude, also i’m glad that my owners are completely opposite from what yours were because were actually cared about at our store, working at subway is hard work and nobody respects the amount of work and stress that goes into that job
Man I know this is an old video but seeing your first Subway video made me want more like that. You did it very well and it was a good night time video for me
Hey man. Subway manager here. i saw how you worked and you deserved more. Honestly was a bit disturbed to hear what you were making. That's really messed up. With tips I have 16 year old kids at my store making 16 plus an hour. I'm glad you've decided to see what else is out there.
Good for you, bro. I worked at a printing company for several years and it was a great job. Pay was very good, benefits were excellent, I was cross trained to do multiple things in almost every department so I felt valuable there. I sometimes miss the days I worked there, but things changed in life and I moved on. I hope you like it and that they treat you well. Best of luck to ya. Take care!
i think everyone in the comment section would agree on the same thing: we’ve been waiting for this video for the longest! You were such a great employee and so positive. They lost a gem 🤦🏻♀️
Just found out about you. You seem like a truly genuine guy and I admire your grind. Sucks that fast food never thinks about the employees that kept the store running like you. Keep pushing for excellence! You deserve it, man!
Sorry to hear...I used to work at Arby's...and while I didn't get paid a lot, there were some things that we NEVER did. First of all, we NEVER, ever, ever changed the date dots. If we didn't sell a product before the date dot expired, then it was tossed. Second, when the refrigeration unit was broken, we brought in a special refrigerated truck so the cold chain was never broken. Third, management wasn't always perfect, but we got along and they accommodated my schedule while I was in college. Equipment breaks? It was replaced by the company. Day's off? No problem. Sometimes I would walk across the street to the Subway and talk to one of my high school friends there. He made more than I did at Arby's, but it wasn't worth all of the shit that he had to deal with. Glad you got a new job. That Cloud standee looks sweet. Are there Tifa and Aerith ones?
As a former subway employee of 2 years I agree that the owners really make or break the store. My manager would work 6:30am-9pm somedays because my owner didn’t want to hire anymore people. I was so happy to leave subway (even though my co workers were awesome) because i didn’t have to deal with the rude customers, horrible hours, and shifts spent working by myself in the store anymore. You really don’t get paid enough at for the crap you have to deal with at subway
factsss i only worked there for two months and i got out😂..everything u said happened to me in that short span lol good thing it was just a summer job for me until school started even if not i still woulda quit only good thing about it was co workers and the food i used to take and make😂😂😂
only lasted 3 months at my subway job, came in asking for halftime hours while i did school and they made me work 7 days a week squeezing in as many 9 hour shifts as they could. getting paid $8.50 with no tips and having $100 being taken off every check for “food” i assumed was free and taxes made my 60+ hour checks feel worthless
Seeing your positive attitude on that day in the life video and how you were able to manage opening and staying on tasks & being productive really impressed me. Been a manager in big kitchens for 6 years now and I could easily say losing someone like who is the biggest mistake they made & I’d hire you easily & made sure you’d get paid what you needed. I’m glad that you could bounce back. Couldn’t find your twitch or your stream but I’ll for sure keep watching your video game videos. I’d love to see more content brother. Stay positive & that sense of urgency and apply it well it’s gonna be what makes you different.
and I complained about my $7,500 raise this year. 5 cents is a FUCKING joke, excuse my language. Count your blessing people. I came from your subway video, you seem like a cool dude. You earned my sub.
My first job paid $6.75 an hour. To unload semi trucks by hand at a grocery warehouse lol. I absolutely loved that job, it just wasn't enough. Also looking outside from loading docks at the beautiful weather didn't help. So I started building power lines for $16.25 and then worked my way up to over $30.
**intended in the least patronising way** you are a good dude! The universe will provide abundance because you have a good energy, you are positive, and just an all around solid dude! May your journey in life be good to you!
no Idea how I got sucked into your youtube channel I searched for how to change oil on a bmw 428i, but I'm subbed now, you have a good personality, I watched the full subway video doing prep and stuff, I did have a question about how do you "make" mozzerella, but yeah, now i'm hooked...your welcome.
Probably for the best, I had no choice but to tough it out when I worked at KFC, it really took a tole on me. I had to deal with lousy management for the longest time and toxic coworkers that threw me under the bus. I put up with this for 5 years. It was an epic waste of time, I think a lot of parents need to realize that your just doing your children a disservice by not helping them get into school and instead just kicking them out of the house prematurely and just work crappy jobs with no opportunity, it's a waste of time and wears at the soul. And ultimately you're not learning anything. Also the fact that most of those jobs especially fast food don't pay enough, they barely pay enough to get by, most people have to work 2 jobs, and so it doesn't even matter.
fast food isnt meant to be career jobs. they are mostly jobs to get you some experience. you shouldve applied in a factory job because its less stressful
i worked for subway for about a year an a half. I started at 17. I experienced a lot of thing you mentioned here. I think it’s important that you highlighted the date changing. Aswell as of labor resources at a subway compared to another fast food restaurant.
Backyard Baseball (original, 2005, & 2007), Roller Coaster Tycoon (1-3), and Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver (1&2) are some of my favorite games, ever since I was a kid.
Your original subway video was in my recommended list for a long long time, so I finally watched tonight. Your enthusiasm and work ethic, regardless of the fact that you didn't want to be there, was inspiring to say the least. You had a job to do, and you showed up and did your very best & even made it seem fun in the vlog. It's a sad shame that they treated you the way they did. Glad to hear that you've gotten out of there, as they didn't deserve a diligent & hard working employee such as yourself. Also, it's great to hear you talking about Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam. I used to play those games for hours with my brother in the 90's.. such good nostalgia & memories. Take care, brother!
Hey good luck! I think most people who found your channel found it because of your subway video and stayed because your positive mindset and a sense of humor. Some might be interested in games, but I think some people would like to watch other videos, too. Maybe something about your new job, your town, I don't know just raw ideas. Keep up that positive outlook, and good luck again!
I feel you there. My first job for a couple years was working in a restaurant kitchen, very similar experience. Hope you're in a better place now! Your Subway work shift video was the first of yours I watched, you seem like a really dedicated and hard-working guy. You deserve way more than you were given at that job.
I know exactly how you feel although I didn’t go through 5 years of it. I left when I felt I had an escape. It was so toxic I felt like my life was consumed by subway. I never had a break, mentally and physically. We never took breaks and if you did you were looked down upon like some disgrace. He would make us find something to do when in actuality everything was done ahead of time. Things like get on a latter in the open store and dust the ceiling, I wish I was joking. Much like your situation my owner was so cheap and the manager was actually taking my money. I didn’t notice until I got my first paystub. I was making $1.25 less than minimum wage and the money was probably going right into my managers pocket. The owner “cleared up the problem” by paying me the money he owed me, and the manager still got away with it. Thank god I’m out of that hell hole.
Atleast subway doesnt seem to get hot like a steak house or chicken shack with deep fryers. Shoo a big heavy person like me would break a sweat dropping chicken into the pressure cooker lol. It was like 90 plus in the summer and then a comfortable 80 in the winter. People would say you got a furnace back there haha
I just watched your first vlog of when you worked at subway, and now this video. I can say that they really missed out on not promoting you, and treating you well. You did an excellent job there, very hard worker, professional, thorough, and extremely organized. They were lucky to have someone of your caliber, you deserved much better.
Hey dude, I enjoyed your subway video. You were positive and had a great attitude. Your co workers seemed very miserable. More power to u man, good things will come your way no doubt.
You're exactly right, Phish! You have so much potential. Learning Code and/or getting into a IT support role and growing from there. Save about 30-40K use a downpayment and buy your own Subway Restaurant. I am going to do the same a give back to my community who had given so much back to me. You can totally do this! Nothing to hold you back. Keep up the awesome, work Brother!
This video really hit home. I recently quit my job a week ago working in a small restaurant business ( with chefs, bussers, and FOH all of that) and everything you mentioned is by far all true not only for fast food joints. I only worked with about 5-6 people and we all were paid below minimum wage and treated poorly, some of us have been there for 3+ years and they wouldn't budge to give us an extra dollar raise, by state law it should be 11$ an hour and we were getting paid 8-9$. it was pretty ridiculous, no care about time management whatsoever or paid-leaves or time off, forget asking for a vacation. It's been mentally challenging trying to find a new job these few days especially with my living situation and trying to find a place to move, COVID has been 100% making it worse, but it all comes down to cash, so hopefully, I can find an establishment that I'm fully committed to and has an equal appreciation with work and employee needs and care. Well, that's enough of my TedTalk for one day.
Always value yourself and know your worth ... be happy and do what you love and live life to it’s fullest ... I haven’t taken my advice yet but slowly but surely will soon 👏
Your a good human man keep your chin up an always try to do whats best for you. Also never ever be afraid to fail, some of our best teachings are when you make mistakes.....
Most people hate their jobs but don't have the courage to leave, I HATED my job at Homeserve, it's a UK based insurance company, I dreaded going to work every day, I literally hated my life. I ended up leaving and now I work in a job tht is MUCH better. It still isn't a great job but I value it MUCH more bcus of the previous hell I had worked in. For those who are stuck, stay strong, it can only get better, God willing
I worked for a hotel and I got a .02 raise once. 2 two weeks the later the brand new hotel a few blocks aways announced they were hiring. So I bailed. You gotta do what's right for you.
Keep your head up toasty, watched your day in the life working at subway video and i must say anybody willing to work off the clock will be an awesome business owner!!
I remember being stuck in a few dead end jobs. I remember how shitty I felt not being valued and never getting raises. Nothing. I wised up and went to college and got a great paying job and have good career now. Thoughts and prayers.
I think you made a good choice. You spent a long time there and I think its healthy to want to go and explore your options. Its just a part of growing up and finding yourself. Good on you. Stay motivated.
never go back! learn as much as you can every day about anything you encounter at your current job, ask questions, knowledge is invaluable (leverage if need be)
The ethics (or lack thereof) of a lot of business people would make your head spin. My wife (RIP) worked for 20 years at a family owned auto dealership (Buick, Chevy and Saturn and later other brands), and they inherited it from their dad. She was so dedicated she even did paperwork from her hospital room a few times when she had pneamonia. One of the owner's sons took the helm as general manager. He quickly dumped my wife as the office manager and put a 20 something young lady buddy of his as the office manager. After 20 years of dedicated service, they gave her a whopping $500 severance check. :) These people are worth tens of millions of dollars. They now own like 10 dealerships. Treating people like s--t isn't really detrimental to business. Poor ethics = higher profits. Sadly I have to hear their obnoxious ads when I listen to local radio, so I switched to Apple Music on my iPhone for my music. I have heard horror stories about how horrible these people treat customers and employees. I have many friends who almost bought cars from them who ended up going elsewhere over shady practices.
Man, I'm right there with you on a lot of this. I've worked many and I mean many bullshit ass job's a lot of foodservice jobs !!! But that's changing up here pretty soon I'm going to go get my CDL and make better money, and if that doesn't work out I'm young enough to hit up the army that's the next outlet. Keep your head up man !!
I own a franchise and when we do our books we literally don’t have much room to give people raises. The turnover rate is so high in fast food that we really don’t expect people to be there longer than a year or 2. The return we get really doesn’t allow us to be like whataburger and hire people at $15/hr. I wish we had those kind of profits. I could show you the books and you’d be surprised what we take home in a year
I'd believe that. In one of his videos he said after the "lunch rush" that they had 15 customers, which is NOTHING. You need customers in order to even think about raises. At an extremely busy location, where the employees don't have time to breath, raises should be a given. Depends on location.
Hey Toasty. Glad you're doing well man. I'm also very happy that you got a much better job. Your work ethic is more deserving than $8.25. Stay true to self, as always. Don't change. It's nice to see a familiar face. Take care man.
I remember those days. When families were off limits in gangster affairs and when the company you put your heart into gave you a gold watch when you got too old to be productive to show appreciation. Let see where this goes doods...
I felt similar working at Comcast/Xfinity. I was there for just over 3 years, they just saw us all as numbers and it completely burnt me out. Plus the angry customers each day really didn't make anything better. Kept raising the sales goals but wouldn't raise the commission amount. Finally found something better, now I'm an electrician making way more money and actually enjoy it :)
I remember all those kids games you listed!! I also played this one Barbie makeover kid game where you can brush her hair and it will grow longer. It was a computer game.
Even though your new job seems better, you were damn cool at Subway. Your energy level was crazy high for such a crappy job. You are awesome man, keep making some videos for us!
Damn man I just somehow came across the subway vlog and loved it. I haven't watched this video yet I'm just starting but, much love from a fellow Arkansan and I wish you luck in all future work
New to the channel. Been there, done that with fast food. Especially at a Burger King with 3 people working 7am to 5pm. It's not easy when prep isn't done and you have 1 person on both boards in the back or 2 in the back, and one upfront for $7.25 at the time. It's said then done lol. Would LOVE to interview you on fast food.
@@crazy808ish Well Subway for a while was exploding with growth and they offered franchises to everybody who was willing to buy one. but part of buying a subway franchise is you have to pay the franchise fees which you NEVER get to stop paying because they take it directly out of your profits. This causes owners to do really stupid and unnecessary things to save money like not involve themselves in buying promo materials for new sandwiches or be stingy with certain kinds of cheeses (if you've ever been refused swiss, this is why). Personally i had to haggle my raise by applying to another job, getting the job offer and dropping it infront of the owner and saying that i'd be gone if i didn't get raised to that amount (11.50 an hour to be precise, at the time owner was paying slightly higher than min wage in CO at 9.50). he never let me catch a break for that but by the end of the year i ended up leaving Subway for that job anyway. when you live in corporate hell you gotta learn to play the assholes, and in this day and age being a "loyal employee" that does everything their told without ever directly asking for a raise is a situation just begging for you to grow spiteful and angry at your job anyway. What people don't understand is that by trying to be the low wage worker that will work for less and work harder (i.e. most mass unskilled immigrant workers being forced into a population that doesn't need them) not only earns YOU less money, but makes it harder for anybody else to earn more money as well. if EVERYBODY and i mean EVERYBODY knew to argue their own worth then we wouldn't have these bullshit commie unions where they take even more of your money to give you the illusion of "owning the means of production"
5 Years at a fast-food restaurant is unbelievable for me. Major props for going through that man. I worked 1 year and a half at a jack in the box and I reached a breaking point pretty fast.
I feel you dude! I used to work for superior grocers here in L A CAL. Meat dept. Same crap granted yes we had vacation asked for days off.But crappy attitude from most managers you would always end up doing double or triple the work that you were supposed to.i could really see it in your face what you went through and you took me back to superior in this vid.But we live and learn.And yes we do remember all the good coworkers and don’t forget them cause they were nice and they went through the same crap as one did.LIKE YOUR VIDS DUDE! LATER!!!!😃
This is how every franchise tends to work. There is always a better job somewhere else. I worked staples for 4 years while in college and I seen the wall I was going to hit on the pay scale. I always say never settle and always look for something better! Keep resumes updated! But as we know in some cases its all about who you know instead of what you know.
I live in NY and $15 an hour isn’t enough to make an living because rent, food, and bills adds up. I can’t imagine getting paid $8.75 - $9 an hour for something you been working hard and doing for years it’s sucks
Good on you for recognizing you're being exploited, and taking the tough decision to leave. Honestly dude, with your personality and obvious passion for videogames i feel like you'd be a PERFECT somewhere in that industry. Best of luck! :)
I rate the last of us poster in the background. Also just came to this from watching the 40 minute vlog of your subway day and what a sad ending! But tbf you seemed so much more than that place, hope you’re keeping well!
Hes totally right , some of these major corporations try to weasel the smallest amount of staff they can get away with. I've been beaten to hell for years due to understaffing.
A five-cent raise is an insult, especially for five whole years of work. They clearly didn't value you.
@Jesus Gutierrez Yeah, on the third year... in the middle of a five-year employment period. Only one raise was given. Just one. Period. How about you pay attention to what you read?
5 cent raise is worse than an insult, it’s Bullshit. Idk how he lasted a week working for those d -bags never mind 5 freaking years?!
@Jesus Gutierrez should've been a few bucks
Capitalism omegalul
entry level highschool job gets highschool entry level pay
Don’t worry toasty the community loves you more than those owners from subway.
There's a line dude !!
We all loves him ...
Most ppl here are in love with him ... I wonder if he knows.
Buddy if you're reading this, you are a catch and some special ppl will pay u good money just to be present in their lives. Switch to naughty and see the money falls.
yeah life comes first youtube doesn't pay the bills and the food
He would have more subs if that was true. I'm not a sub I'm just here for a laugh
im new, but I love this channel a lot more now. Nothing but the best Toasty!

My first job paid $6.75 an hour. To unload semi trucks by hand at a grocery warehouse lol. I absolutely loved that job, it just wasn't enough. Also looking outside from loading docks at the beautiful weather didn't help. So I started building power lines for $16.25 and then worked my way up to over $30.
5 cent raise thats brutal...thats $104 extra on your yearly salary.. i am a restaurant to print/sign shop person myself
**intended in the least patronising way** you are a good dude! The universe will provide abundance because you have a good energy, you are positive, and just an all around solid dude!
May your journey in life be good to you!
This video was hard to watch... I could see the pain and frustration in your eyes. I hope success finds you brother, you deserve it. All the best!
I’d report them to the corporation if I were you
Most likely would either be over looked or would take so many years that it won’t even be worth it
Subway is a multi billion dollar corporation i don't think they'll focus on one random guy losing his job. Sucks but it's the truth
subway isn't gonna do shit unfortunately
What does corporate have to do with wage? That's the owner of the stores issue not corporate
@@amsiii actually the company is doing terrible,
You’re glow up has been awesome man!! Living proof that hard work can pay off. I think I can say, all of us watching are happy for you. ❤️🙂
no Idea how I got sucked into your youtube channel I searched for how to change oil on a bmw 428i, but I'm subbed now, you have a good personality, I watched the full subway video doing prep and stuff, I did have a question about how do you "make" mozzerella, but yeah, now i'm hooked...your welcome.
Probably for the best, I had no choice but to tough it out when I worked at KFC, it really took a tole on me. I had to deal with lousy management for the longest time and toxic coworkers that threw me under the bus. I put up with this for 5 years. It was an epic waste of time, I think a lot of parents need to realize that your just doing your children a disservice by not helping them get into school and instead just kicking them out of the house prematurely and just work crappy jobs with no opportunity, it's a waste of time and wears at the soul. And ultimately you're not learning anything. Also the fact that most of those jobs especially fast food don't pay enough, they barely pay enough to get by, most people have to work 2 jobs, and so it doesn't even matter.
fast food isnt meant to be career jobs. they are mostly jobs to get you some experience. you shouldve applied in a factory job because its less stressful
All those kids games you mentioned brought back so many memories!! Hot wheels, tonka, putt-putt saves the zoo, backyard baseball...
i worked for subway for about a year an a half. I started at 17. I experienced a lot of thing you mentioned here. I think it’s important that you highlighted the date changing. Aswell as of labor resources at a subway compared to another fast food restaurant.
Backyard Baseball (original, 2005, & 2007), Roller Coaster Tycoon (1-3), and Hot Wheels Stunt Track Driver (1&2) are some of my favorite games, ever since I was a kid.
Your original subway video was in my recommended list for a long long time, so I finally watched tonight. Your enthusiasm and work ethic, regardless of the fact that you didn't want to be there, was inspiring to say the least. You had a job to do, and you showed up and did your very best & even made it seem fun in the vlog. It's a sad shame that they treated you the way they did. Glad to hear that you've gotten out of there, as they didn't deserve a diligent & hard working employee such as yourself. Also, it's great to hear you talking about Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam. I used to play those games for hours with my brother in the 90's.. such good nostalgia & memories. Take care, brother!
Hey good luck!
I think most people who found your channel found it because of your subway video and stayed because your positive mindset and a sense of humor.
Some might be interested in games, but I think some people would like to watch other videos, too. Maybe something about your new job, your town, I don't know just raw ideas.
Keep up that positive outlook, and good luck again!
I feel you there. My first job for a couple years was working in a restaurant kitchen, very similar experience. Hope you're in a better place now! Your Subway work shift video was the first of yours I watched, you seem like a really dedicated and hard-working guy. You deserve way more than you were given at that job.
I know exactly how you feel although I didn’t go through 5 years of it. I left when I felt I had an escape. It was so toxic I felt like my life was consumed by subway. I never had a break, mentally and physically. We never took breaks and if you did you were looked down upon like some disgrace. He would make us find something to do when in actuality everything was done ahead of time. Things like get on a latter in the open store and dust the ceiling, I wish I was joking. Much like your situation my owner was so cheap and the manager was actually taking my money. I didn’t notice until I got my first paystub. I was making $1.25 less than minimum wage and the money was probably going right into my managers pocket. The owner “cleared up the problem” by paying me the money he owed me, and the manager still got away with it. Thank god I’m out of that hell hole.
mad respect dude! im glad that you got out of there. can’t believe they tried to give you a five cent raise.... what a joke
Atleast subway doesnt seem to get hot like a steak house or chicken shack with deep fryers. Shoo a big heavy person like me would break a sweat dropping chicken into the pressure cooker lol. It was like 90 plus in the summer and then a comfortable 80 in the winter. People would say you got a furnace back there haha
I just watched your first vlog of when you worked at subway, and now this video. I can say that they really missed out on not promoting you, and treating you well. You did an excellent job there, very hard worker, professional, thorough, and extremely organized. They were lucky to have someone of your caliber, you deserved much better.
He made a 40 minute video working with one hand!!! Give me a break, if you can do a job with ONE hand you deserve minimum wage.
Hey dude, I enjoyed your subway video. You were positive and had a great attitude. Your co workers seemed very miserable. More power to u man, good things will come your way no doubt.
You're exactly right, Phish! You have so much potential. Learning Code and/or getting into a IT support role and growing from there. Save about 30-40K use a downpayment and buy your own Subway Restaurant. I am going to do the same a give back to my community who had given so much back to me. You can totally do this! Nothing to hold you back. Keep up the awesome, work Brother!
I’m glad you’re doing something you love, rooting for your success!
just stumbled on your channel ive only watched 3 videos and you seem like a very genuine person, one love from canada
This video really hit home. I recently quit my job a week ago working in a small restaurant business ( with chefs, bussers, and FOH all of that) and everything you mentioned is by far all true not only for fast food joints. I only worked with about 5-6 people and we all were paid below minimum wage and treated poorly, some of us have been there for 3+ years and they wouldn't budge to give us an extra dollar raise, by state law it should be 11$ an hour and we were getting paid 8-9$. it was pretty ridiculous, no care about time management whatsoever or paid-leaves or time off, forget asking for a vacation. It's been mentally challenging trying to find a new job these few days especially with my living situation and trying to find a place to move, COVID has been 100% making it worse, but it all comes down to cash, so hopefully, I can find an establishment that I'm fully committed to and has an equal appreciation with work and employee needs and care. Well, that's enough of my TedTalk for one day.
Always value yourself and know your worth ... be happy and do what you love and live life to it’s fullest ... I haven’t taken my advice yet but slowly but surely will soon 👏
Your a good human man keep your chin up an always try to do whats best for you. Also never ever be afraid to fail, some of our best teachings are when you make mistakes.....
Dude!!! Just watched u busting ass at work with a great attitude!!! Their loss, I would hire u in a hartbeat!!!
You're a good man, never let anyone tell you different. Live a long good life, brother.
Vividly remember playing Tonka Construction on my grandparents' PC growing up. Thanks for unlocking that memory!
Toasty my guy keep the ball rolling with this channel, this can easily be a great side income man. You're a great dude!
This is my new favourite wholesome channel. :)
Most people hate their jobs but don't have the courage to leave, I HATED my job at Homeserve, it's a UK based insurance company, I dreaded going to work every day, I literally hated my life. I ended up leaving and now I work in a job tht is MUCH better. It still isn't a great job but I value it MUCH more bcus of the previous hell I had worked in. For those who are stuck, stay strong, it can only get better, God willing
I worked for a hotel and I got a .02 raise once. 2 two weeks the later the brand new hotel a few blocks aways announced they were hiring. So I bailed. You gotta do what's right for you.
Keep your head up toasty, watched your day in the life working at subway video and i must say anybody willing to work off the clock will be an awesome business owner!!
I remember being stuck in a few dead end jobs. I remember how shitty I felt not being valued and never getting raises. Nothing. I wised up and went to college and got a great paying job and have good career now. Thoughts and prayers.
I think you made a good choice. You spent a long time there and I think its healthy to want to go and explore your options. Its just a part of growing up and finding yourself. Good on you. Stay motivated.
never go back! learn as much as you can every day about anything you encounter at your current job, ask questions, knowledge is invaluable (leverage if need be)
The ethics (or lack thereof) of a lot of business people would make your head spin. My wife (RIP) worked for 20 years at a family owned auto dealership (Buick, Chevy and Saturn and later other brands), and they inherited it from their dad. She was so dedicated she even did paperwork from her hospital room a few times when she had pneamonia. One of the owner's sons took the helm as general manager. He quickly dumped my wife as the office manager and put a 20 something young lady buddy of his as the office manager. After 20 years of dedicated service, they gave her a whopping $500 severance check. :) These people are worth tens of millions of dollars. They now own like 10 dealerships. Treating people like s--t isn't really detrimental to business. Poor ethics = higher profits. Sadly I have to hear their obnoxious ads when I listen to local radio, so I switched to Apple Music on my iPhone for my music. I have heard horror stories about how horrible these people treat customers and employees. I have many friends who almost bought cars from them who ended up going elsewhere over shady practices.
Man, I'm right there with you on a lot of this. I've worked many and I mean many bullshit ass job's a lot of foodservice jobs !!! But that's changing up here pretty soon I'm going to go get my CDL and make better money, and if that doesn't work out I'm young enough to hit up the army that's the next outlet. Keep your head up man !!
Keep your head up bro! Only big things to come from here on out!!
I own a franchise and when we do our books we literally don’t have much room to give people raises. The turnover rate is so high in fast food that we really don’t expect people to be there longer than a year or 2. The return we get really doesn’t allow us to be like whataburger and hire people at $15/hr. I wish we had those kind of profits. I could show you the books and you’d be surprised what we take home in a year
I'd believe that. In one of his videos he said after the "lunch rush" that they had 15 customers, which is NOTHING. You need customers in order to even think about raises. At an extremely busy location, where the employees don't have time to breath, raises should be a given. Depends on location.
right it’s his fault for stating for so long
Franchise owners get squeezed by the corporate.
@@ianh1984 it was 50 but that was a little bit
I hope you the best, keep up the good work and always keep your head high. You deserve better!!
Hey Toasty. Glad you're doing well man. I'm also very happy that you got a much better job. Your work ethic is more deserving than $8.25. Stay true to self, as always. Don't change. It's nice to see a familiar face. Take care man.
Nice, good job! I watched your videos and you seem like such a great employee. You deserve greatness, good luck!
I remember those days. When families were off limits in gangster affairs and when the company you put your heart into gave you a gold watch when you got too old to be productive to show appreciation. Let see where this goes doods...
Asalamalaikum love your channel brother. Wishing you all the best.
You were such a hard worker, and a really nice guy! Don’t let them get to you, they were only using you. Keep up the good work! And stay safe!
New subscriber here. I believe you made the right decision man. Can't wait to see where life takes you. Once again, thank you for the amazing content.
hey man keep your head up we all here for you, with your mentality and outlook on life you got big things coming
Watched the Subway vid. Thought you were the manager having such a good attitude. Screw Subway. You'll do well.
Glad you moved on and make way more money now. Kudos broskiff
Omg! I went through the same shit working for Subway! That's why I quit a few months ago! Good for you, man!
I saw how hard you worked in your subway vid... man, if I owned a business, I would have hired you right away with a huge pay raise
Yeah right?! This guy must be one of the ideal coworkers you can imagine.
Just found your channel 5 days ago. Obviously so do everyone else! Still gonna binge them though lol. My new FeatureMan!!!
You were a great worker. You did everything you could correctly. Good for you! Hope everything you do forward is what makes you happy! +1 sub
You don't get what you deserve in life - only what you negotiate. Your greatest power is your ability to walk away. Happy for you man...
I felt similar working at Comcast/Xfinity. I was there for just over 3 years, they just saw us all as numbers and it completely burnt me out. Plus the angry customers each day really didn't make anything better. Kept raising the sales goals but wouldn't raise the commission amount. Finally found something better, now I'm an electrician making way more money and actually enjoy it :)
I remember all those kids games you listed!! I also played this one Barbie makeover kid game where you can brush her hair and it will grow longer. It was a computer game.
Even though your new job seems better, you were damn cool at Subway. Your energy level was crazy high for such a crappy job. You are awesome man, keep making some videos for us!
more power to you man! you know your own worth and big things will come for you in the future
You've got a great personality and outlook bro, you're going to succeed no matter what you set your mind to
Damn man I just somehow came across the subway vlog and loved it. I haven't watched this video yet I'm just starting but, much love from a fellow Arkansan and I wish you luck in all future work
New to the channel. Been there, done that with fast food. Especially at a Burger King with 3 people working 7am to 5pm. It's not easy when prep isn't done and you have 1 person on both boards in the back or 2 in the back, and one upfront for $7.25 at the time.
It's said then done lol. Would LOVE to interview you on fast food.
Honestly if I ran that subway I’d give you a rise every year at the minimum!
Sure bud once you see the small profit margins you'd think twice
A rise huh? 😘
A rise ??? that would be Jared's job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@crazymonkey60123 Why the heck did somebody want a business that ran on such piss poor margins? That place deserves to close down then.
@@crazy808ish Well Subway for a while was exploding with growth and they offered franchises to everybody who was willing to buy one. but part of buying a subway franchise is you have to pay the franchise fees which you NEVER get to stop paying because they take it directly out of your profits. This causes owners to do really stupid and unnecessary things to save money like not involve themselves in buying promo materials for new sandwiches or be stingy with certain kinds of cheeses (if you've ever been refused swiss, this is why).
Personally i had to haggle my raise by applying to another job, getting the job offer and dropping it infront of the owner and saying that i'd be gone if i didn't get raised to that amount (11.50 an hour to be precise, at the time owner was paying slightly higher than min wage in CO at 9.50). he never let me catch a break for that but by the end of the year i ended up leaving Subway for that job anyway. when you live in corporate hell you gotta learn to play the assholes, and in this day and age being a "loyal employee" that does everything their told without ever directly asking for a raise is a situation just begging for you to grow spiteful and angry at your job anyway.
What people don't understand is that by trying to be the low wage worker that will work for less and work harder (i.e. most mass unskilled immigrant workers being forced into a population that doesn't need them) not only earns YOU less money, but makes it harder for anybody else to earn more money as well. if EVERYBODY and i mean EVERYBODY knew to argue their own worth then we wouldn't have these bullshit commie unions where they take even more of your money to give you the illusion of "owning the means of production"
5 Years at a fast-food restaurant is unbelievable for me. Major props for going through that man. I worked 1 year and a half at a jack in the box and I reached a breaking point pretty fast.
Good job man glad to hear things have gotten better
Thank you for being you man, would love to see some rock band/guitar hero!
Congrats on the new gig. You deserve it!
great video! thanks for being so open about your experiences
You gotta do what’s best for you , god bless man
It's been 4 weeks since toasty has posted I'm feeling a depression of entertainment.
Sorry mate. Life got in the way. And puter is down at the moment. Will be fixing tommorow. Hopefully have more content coming.
5 years!?! I would’ve left after 5 weeks tbh
yaa Subway was my 1st job.... was gone after 3 months lol
@@flufychickens Same here!!😆
I feel you dude! I used to work for superior grocers here in L A CAL. Meat dept. Same crap granted yes we had vacation asked for days off.But crappy attitude from most managers you would always end up doing double or triple the work that you were supposed to.i could really see it in your face what you went through and you took me back to superior in this vid.But we live and learn.And yes we do remember all the good coworkers and don’t forget them cause they were nice and they went through the same crap as one did.LIKE YOUR VIDS DUDE! LATER!!!!😃
This is how every franchise tends to work. There is always a better job somewhere else. I worked staples for 4 years while in college and I seen the wall I was going to hit on the pay scale. I always say never settle and always look for something better! Keep resumes updated! But as we know in some cases its all about who you know instead of what you know.
I live in NY and $15 an hour isn’t enough to make an living because rent, food, and bills adds up. I can’t imagine getting paid $8.75 - $9 an hour for something you been working hard and doing for years it’s sucks
Good on you for recognizing you're being exploited, and taking the tough decision to leave. Honestly dude, with your personality and obvious passion for videogames i feel like you'd be a PERFECT somewhere in that industry. Best of luck! :)
I rate the last of us poster in the background. Also just came to this from watching the 40 minute vlog of your subway day and what a sad ending! But tbf you seemed so much more than that place, hope you’re keeping well!
Hes totally right , some of these major corporations try to weasel the smallest amount of staff they can get away with. I've been beaten to hell for years due to understaffing.
I work at subway and they’re literally the same at every subway. All they care about is their profits. They don’t give af about their employees
lol they prob care cause subway is dying
I work at a subway and they raised our taxes on our checks and removed hazard pay
amazon is like that too, I try to tell my boss what im struggling with and she just tells me to deal with it
Thanks for sharing your life to the world as it is. Thats pretty cool man!
