I’m not a hiring manager but I would think logically someone coming in with that poor of an outlook and not even hiding it to look professional in the interview would be a red flag and potentially show some concerns about their work ethic.

No response required that question would tell me hiring them would be a waste of time

Me personally, I would explain to them that every restaurant is ran differently. There will always be bad and good days, depending on weather, customers, and general team attitude. My personal team is really good at picking up moral when it goes south. It’s really determined on the hired persons ability to handle stress and how well the team is. If they weren’t able to handle most other fast food joints, more than likely they won’t be able to handle it here. Of course, there should always be a 2 week period to see how they fair and making sure to check in on them more frequently than regular team members to figure out what they’re thinking or what they don’t like. If they’re already having issues from other restaurants, I’d keep in mind that fast food more than likely isn’t for them.

As for being better than another establishment, I’d explain that again, that’s really up to the day. Most days for my team, we are one of the best restaurants in town and top of our district. I know we personally strive to be the best, but there is bad days.

Ultimately, the only way to determine if they fit is to see how well they do. It’s up to the hiree to tell you how they’re feeling and what they expect. Not every fast food job is the same but the core premise of stress and fast paced action is at every restaurant. Open communication and honesty between manager and teams is the most important thing.

Edit to add: Every workplace is different, and management should do their best to create a supportive environment where people feel respected and part of the team. How management treats staff makes a big difference. I personally would mention: “If something ever feels off, we want people to feel comfortable speaking up.” to build that open line of communication.

I would tell them they’re gonna be dealing with the same annoying kinds of customers and the same kind of intense rush periods that all food service places have. Honestly probably wouldn’t want to hire someone bringing that attitude to the interview.

When I interviewed people this would be extremely off putting, probably tank the entire thought of hiring them.

I would tell them that I don’t find it miserable at our store, and while I’m biased the owner has always treated myself and others with respect and management is competent and welcoming to everyone. Those are all true statements for me so it wouldn’t be an issue coming up with a story or anything.

But I don’t really want to be around someone so negative and jaded, and usually those kind of people are also shit at their jobs and will cause interpersonal issues. Not worth the hassle

To all hiring managers of r/DairyQueen: If a job applicant asks during an interview "Will Dairy Queen be just as miserable to work at like how (their previous fast food employer) was?," How would you respond to that?
