Barely made it in time. Was still ten minutes early. Nabbed my uniform. Headed to the bathroom. Not the cleanest of places, but depantsing myself in the lobby on my first day of work might make a bad impression.
Only one toilet stall. I walk in, glancing at the contents. Sh*t and more sh*t. And paper. All crammed in. "Great start" I unpack the uniform. Pants are a PERFECT fit. I'm a little guy, so I've never had pants fit me. Although the crotch is tight. So no aerobics. The shirt, while snazzy, was a too big. Bleh. I tucked it in, tried the cap. Couldn't figure out how to get my ponytail up in it, and with 2 mins til 5 I just shoved it behind my collar. No one said anything.
The shift manager for the day was a guy named james. He sounds like David Spade about 75% of the time.
I worked grill. I could tell instantly that my trainer was the kind of guy who did grill because he wanted to. After learnin and grillin I figured out why. While monotonous, it was easy and simple. Just speed and efficiency is all that matters. I had fun.
My fingers and hands are burnt the eff up. Nothin too bad.
So my trainer took his break, and they asked if I could take it. Said sure, as long as I know what is needed. (hamburger, quarterpound, angus, mushroom, bacon, chicken) So he goes on break. And. We get slammed. Was making a full grill of hamburgers constantly for a very long time. And then-
nothing. Not sh*t to do. didn't even know I was makin more burgers later until I noticed I was takin off the grill, ha. After the rush James asked me if I was comin back next week. I said maybe. He said when I say yes, he'll say 'welcome to the team.'
I did the grill by myself for the rest of the night. Wasn't very busy at all. Near the end the james guy gave me my name tag sayin 'welcome to the team'.
Got hit with a gaggle of high schoolers, jocks and cheerleaders by the look of em.... but I was leavin.
I did well.
James used to play D&D and vgames, but yaknow family and kids.
Can't figure out why but the hamburger smells a LOT like sausage. quarter and angus smell like burger, but hamburger smells of sausage.
Haven't worked in so long. Felt good, and bad at the same time. Sore now.
Hopin to get to new positions later. Woo.
I still smell like a burger. mmmm. But I taste mcdonalds... in my soda...
have to call to see when I work next.
