More often than not, jobs aren’t fun. If you have a job you enjoy, then congratulations. You’re one of the lucky ones. As for the rest of you, well, you’ve just got to deal with it, I guess.

But hey, it’s not all, bad right? Even if you do have a less than exciting job, it’s still a job. A job is a job, and a job puts bread on the table, beer in the fridge and pays the bills. It can’t be all bad, right?

Even putting all that on the backburner, people are still going to complain about the work they have to do. I’ve sat at a dinner table with people older than me long enough to know that the workplace isn’t always the most perfect place, but still, you do what you have to do.

Complaining about your job isn’t a bad thing when you do it at your dinner table in the comfort of your own home. The place not to do it? At work, in front of your customers.

I took a trip to a dining hall on campus the other day and one of the workers said in a not so discrete manner about how much they hated their job.

It didn’t bother me that they hated their job.

I honestly don’t care if you like your job or not. I’m just trying to eat.

But what I do care about is that your job directly affects me. I don’t just use your product, I eat it.

I’ve seen the movie “Waiting…” enough times (it was on Comedy Central twice this weekend) to know that disgruntled food service employees can be very dangerous people.

Sure, it’s a rough job, but even the workers at Shenanigans, the restaurant in “Waiting…,” those employees, who play a game where they expose themselves to others, didn’t complain about their job in front of their customers (minus Justin Long’s one outburst).

It doesn’t matter where you work, whether it’s Shenanigans, the dining hall, or anywhere else, don’t telll me how much you hated making my product.

A 2012 survey by “Parade” and Yahoo! Finance reported that almost 60 percent of Americans would choose another career if they had the chance.

That’s all fine and dandy.

You can tell the survey that, just don’t tell me that while you’re handing me my receipt for the product that you absolutley hated making.

I know you’re not feeling great, but you can at least make me feel a little better about it.
