It's hot

I like the heat, but it makes everyone irritable. Me too.
So I'm in the window, and I serve the order, I can't see it now, it's a mcdub and a small fry! I hand it out, she says she had a coke, and it was hot. I told her I didn't see one on the screen (nor did I have an extra coke lying around,) in a foam cup she had said. (foam cup drinks/special stuff like that is highlighted in yellow on the screen, and there was no yellow in her order).
So I ask for the receipt. Ahhhh the receipt. Anyone with one has all the power, they hold all the cards, and no one wants one.
That machine always spits one out when we cash them out. The cashier always hands it to them with the change. If the fools didn't get change, and drove off/rolled up their window, then shoot they don't/can't get one. There's almost never an instance of a customer not getting one if they had wanted one and waited for it.
So I never believe them when they say 'she didn't give me one'
that's horse shit.
So this lady says "I didn't get one."
Bam. I'm steamed now. I turn to a coworker to get someone to re-print it out for her. (I've done that before, for some teenagers trying to swindle a large fry.) The customer says she'll pay for one.
"It's a dollar-eight."
She throws me some change and a dollar. The drink machine is full of drinks, the screen is full of orders. none of them a large coke.
I'm waiting for a coke. She is goin on a tirade.
"you guys never get my stuff right."
"It's always wrong."
"I'm here everyday."
I think she directed some at the manager behind me. "You need to get your crew together. They never know what's going on."
We frikkin bust our ass everyday. And these assholes walk all over us. It's fucking stupid. I'm being paid in peanuts to give her good service, and I'm not getting tipped so my only obligation to be nice is minimum wage.
fuck her.
"Ma'am, have you tried going to Wendy's?" I blurt out.
"NO! I LIKE McDonald's!" she says.
She goes on to call me something something stupid little faggot.
"Well that's uncalled for." I say.
blah blah blah well you should be more professional/business-like.

well shit you shouldnt be a bitch.
Eventually I get one around, pour it into a foam cup.
She promptly pours it into a mason jar. Wait what. Why did she need a foam cup?
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I smile. All over.

Because I pretty much told her to eff off.
I decided to bring attention to myself, so I slammed the window. I had a nice relaxing day.

Later, the drive thru order taker next to me told me I was very polite normally. I am. I was.
I am just having trouble bending over these days. due to a little something called divine intervention.

Out of the box

They're not morons. They're just out of the box thinkers. For example, we have two types of towels. Sturdier towels for the grill, and normal towels for tables, etc. Instead of having two buckets of water for these separate towels, why not put them all in one bucket? And hey, we need caution signs when we're mopping the kitchen. Someone could get hurt! While we're at it, let's put a lot of fries in the hopper. That way it's less work later. It won't break the machine. No, not at all.

Out of the box thinkers. They are in high supply, and in high demand!

Had some of that oatmeal today. Good. Filling.

I'm getting sick of customers yelling at me, and being unreasonable. I think it's the heat, making them irritable. Me, I'm just irritable and bitter cuz I'm out of my element still. My element being a house, that is mine.  

So I loathe any customer interaction. Lady wasted 3 minutes of my life looking for enough change to get 3.21. For two large coffees. She was by herself. In the end she had me take one off. "How much is one of em?"

"Uh, one forty nine." she gave me 1.50.  "It's 1.61 with tax."

She threw me another quarter and drove forward.

"Thanks for the tip." I said, pocketing the fourteen cents. It made sense.

Fat bitch.

No one has time for change.

Boiling

It's insane how hot the presenting area gets. The kitchen isn't so bad. That window is Hell's waiting room.

I hate multi-orders for one car. Understandable sometimes though. But when one is a mcdouble, the other is a mcdouble... it;s like jeez dude, can't spot your friend a buck?
And when they both pay in cash. WTFBBQ
It's funny when people say,
I want a mcdouble, plain

with only ketchup.

-then it's not plain. silly customer.
some people call the mcflurries a mcfluffy. I like that.
A lady asked through drivethru, "are you there?"
I was making a coffee. And I thnk I had left the speaker on, so the auto-greeter didn't go off, and I said "it says order when youre ready for a reason" and she drove away.
rofls.
Most of the new hires suck. To be expected. But they exemplify the word suck. Tired of it.
Wish I could just stop caring completely.

Minimum wage is stupid. That fucking idiot that smells gets the same amount I do.

Get Happy

(posted last week.... to the wrong blog)

The worst thing now is

The people I work with. New lazy shits from main street. And for some reason, hiring ten new people.

Yesterday, the drive thru guy couldnt take orders(was new) so I had to take orders, and the runner/s were gone. Had two new people on counter. I was like omfgwtfbbq until I stopped caring.

I watched a guy eat lunch in the kitchen. I said really? He said stfu I havent eaten in two days!

and whose fault is that. youre a fucking high school kid, youve got food at home. moron.

I'd see something that a position is supposed to do. I'd tell the guy, 'hey those need to be stocked' he'd look at me and say naa its fine.

now, I do stuff like that.... as I head to go do it.  but this lazy sack of worthless skin and bones continues talking to the girls.

just cuz I have a fucking blue shirt and not a grey one

That's all for now. I'm sick of these lazy people I gotta work with.  I wanna be lazy too.

Mangos on Pine Trees

I was workin window and someone said there wasn't a straw. This is a normal occurence. This time, I had personally checked and wasn't spacing out. AND I could see the straw. From the window. In the bag. "It's in there." now gtfo.
he rummages through the bag. No it's not.
"Yes it is."
"No-uh"
"I see it. On the right."
OH THERE IT IS.   derp.

I noticed the drive-thru liquor man has a tip jar. I've been thinking about tips a lot recently. Since I do a minimum wage job, and get no tips.  I've now become a bad tipper. Because I realised I shouldnt be giving that bitch a five when she refilled my cup once. and I've been empty for an hour.
She should get a nickel. ROFL I AM YOUR RENT SO FILL MY CUP!
I think we should get tips at mcd.  drivethru beerman gets tips. Know what he does? Reads magazines. Someone pulls up. He grabs beer. Hands it to them. They go on. He gets tipped for that. Horsecrap.

i was put on french fries recently. I usually try to gravitate there, cuz it's uber easy. But this time I had a french accent. And made a white flag out of a fry bag.

There's an old tanned man. White beard. Soft spoken. Smelly. Wears the same shirt for a week. like a cartoon character. Unlike a cartoon character, it is literally the same shirt. I can see stains from the day before. He's been coming in for a while,(i think) but I only noticed him a few weeks ago.  Gross.
Not the worst patron, of course.
