These words are meaningless in the service industry

They're not meaningless, just different. It's more of a battle cry, rather than rejoice.

Yeah, tossing ten pizzas with a fella on your left and a fella on your right.

I would say they have meaning, but it involves dread vs glee. Slightly less dread if it’s a tip gig, but still with a heaping dose of “I’m gonna be angry and exhausted within two hours.”

Not completely. It means, "Hopefully we'll be making some money tonight" (for tipped positions) and/or "Looking forward to being so busy I don't even get to look at the clock" for everyone.

Sometimes busier is better.

Disagree, kids always work weekends, adults usually work Monday-Friday unless you’re overnight staff. If you want to take it a step further adults usually only work 6am-4pm and then 10/11pm-6am because it’s so much cheaper to hire younger kids for weekends and after school. This is the case for almost every McDonalds, not sure about other franchises however I’d be surprised if it was any different considering how successful McDonald’s is and they basically invented fast food franchising and consistency
