Working with Fast Food

At present, I work in a fast-food restaurant (it shall remain nameless for the sake of privacy), now while I don't really mind the work, lots of people seem to find it degrading. I think it has something to do with the snobbishness of this country that occasionally surfaces, something that annoys me quite a bit. The place I work at is generally quite quiet, the people are pleasant and during the day the CD player is mine.
Yeah sure I do get the occasional member of the public who complains, or is drunk, but being honest I think its just good experience for later in life.
When I do work, I tend to do the actual job with the lower half of my brain, leaving the top half to concentrate on laughing/joking with friends, and to interact with customers. Also working where I am means I don't have to take the tube and risk what happened to edelee today...
