Chicken nugget fans can certainly relate to that one.

"Here’s a list of reasons why I will never work for a family-owned restaurant ever again and I will only work in chain restaurants," she says in the video above.
"Number one, chain restaurants know that this is a serving job and not your f**king career so they don’t give a f**k as long as you show up, do your job, and leave.
"That’s all you gotta do. It’s really not hard, right?
"In a family-owned restaurant, you are their slave, not their employee.

"They will work you until you can’t f**king work anymore. I’m not part of your family, bro. You can’t treat me like this."
Viewers largely seemed to be in agreement with the TikToker, with one person commenting: "Let’s not forget the NEPOTISM in a family owned restaurant as well!
"You can dedicate your whole life to one and as soon as that grandson turns 18…f**k."

A second viewer added: "Giiiiirl preach!!! can we talk about the politics and drama up in those b**ches as well."
Another agreed: "Worked at a family-owned breakfast restaurant.

However, not everyone was on the same page as the influencer, as one person thought: "Corporate has too many rules, working in a small fine dining restaurant is the way to go in my opinion."
Another viewer pointed out: "BUT if you find the right family owned restaurant it’s better than any chain restaurant job."
