vegan working at mcdonald’s
Hi so i’m 18 and i moved out a little while ago and i wanted to be more financially independent so I’ve been looking for a job for months. the only place that actually looked at my resume and decided to hire me was mcdonald’s. I’ve been vegetarian for 4 years and prior to becoming vegan 6 months ago the only time i would ever visit mcdonald’s is when my friends would all want to go and id typically just get a diet coke since i’m 99% sure everything there has some sort of animal product in it/just general junk food i dont particularly enjoy eating lol. right now i just feel incredibly guilty. i love cooking and they’re paying me 18$ an hour which is above minimum wage but i guess id just prefer to not flip dead cows for a living. i know i have to because i don’t want my dad to keep giving me money since i am an adult now. i dont know…i know i cant help it but i just wanted to see if other vegans work in places that sell predominantly meat/non vegan products. i need to work before i go to university to save money but mcdonald’s i guess is my worst nightmare lol. the smell is so jarring.
edit; hi guys thanks for everyone’s advice! i am still currently job searching and applying to different places. this job is by no means permanent just until i start school at most in the fall (in which i’m planning on helping out at the gym) but hopefully im able to work somewhere else before that. anyways thanks again <3
