Rude Expectations

I threw this on my fb but not here.

After handing out some food, I close the window.(as per procedure) Talk to my manager. We're not shooting the shit, this is srs bsns. Well sorta. I was asking if I should find a headset.(as per procedure) Even though taking orders and handing out food for me is a bad idea, and my brain was already barely working.
So I check the screen for the next order. Sundae and a cone. Open the window.
"You know, it's rude to have your back to someone" The semi elderly lady in the van says.
"I was talking to my manager" My reply. Figured it would end the conversation there.
"It's still rude."
"We hadn't even initiated conversation yet." My voice isn't mean, or demanding. I'm confused, and soft. I'm not seeing how I was rude at all. Window was closed. We hadn't spoken. Hadn't made eye contact. Doesn't make sense.
"Are you arguing with me?" She says.
"Here's your sundae, and cone." I figure it'd be best to just get her the ice cream. She can't listen to reason because she's an old bitch.
Now she doesn't want that cone, because it was crooked. Yeah, it looked like a witch's hat, but it all goes to the same place. Whatever.
I toss it, and laugh the whole way to the machine. This is just too ridiculous.  I then create what is most likely the best ice cream cone I've ever made.

When I return, guess where this old hag is?
Door open, tending to a kid in the backseat.
WITH HER BACK TO ME

I resist the urge with every fiber of my being to say "Ma'am, it's rude to turn your back to someone"
Oh the freaking irony, is too much!
Instead, "Ma'am, your ice cream is ready." I'm hoping she gets the point.
After a few more seconds, I'm assuming she was giving a kid the sundae, she's back in the driver's seat, takes the cone and is gone, without another word.
 I thank her for her visit.

not sure if I won there...
I'd guess no because you can't win against someone that's irrational.

Colors

I was mopping the floor, trying to get done before closing. An elderly shuffling lady asked me
"What colour do you suppose this floor is?"

Our tiles are several mismatch rectangles ranging from dark brown, light brown, tan, fake wood grain, etc etc. I looked at her and said.
"Brown. Several shades of brown."
She then went on to ask how it was made, (like was it linoleum or tiled in there). I professed my lack of knowledge on the subject.
She mentioned it was pretty, and we should wax it.

She'd been staring too heavily at our floor, it seemed.

Dream Crusher

The other day, I had just clocked off. A young boy came up to the register asking for caramel.
"For your apples?" I ask. He nods.
"Sorry, we don't carry that any more."
He said nothing, and left.
His disappointment was palpable. You could see it in his eyes, his dreams getting crushed, and how he felt nothing in life would ever be good.

I saw him laughing and smiling minutes later as I left. 
Kids are great, eh?

Custom Recipes

After a few months a double cheeseburger, mcnuggets, or a big mac just sound awful. So you have to find new ways of eating the same old crap.

Sweet Juice - (not my invention) A regular sweet tea, with about a splash and a half of orange juice. Freaking Godly. For added flavor, add vanilla!

McChicken- I don't like lettuce or mayo, but I order them with cheese, chipotle bbq and ranch. Chipotle bbq and ranch, plus heat, equals a super tasty sauce. And I don't like ranch.

Crispy BBQ snack wrap- Just like the McChicken, cheese, ranch, bbq only.

OATMEAL- Simple oatmeal, but I add extra cream, three pats of butter and no craisins. Just apples. Filling and delicious.

I normally put vanilla in the OJ to downplay its tartness. I don't care for bitter things.

My Favorite Double Cheeseburger- no mustard, no ketchup, add chipotle bbq, sub sliv onions, sub bakery bun. The bun is soft and delicious, the onions are great with the bbq, and for a bonus, ask them to switch to crinkle(angus) pickles. As with most items, let it sit in the heater landing zone area for a while for the cheese to melt, and such.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie- I don't care for them, because of yogurt, and I have yet to try w/o yogurt but I accidentally put whipped cream on one. So I mixed it in and tried it. Was tasty.

I usually swap out a round egg for a folded on my sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle. Round eggs taste better.

Also I'm pretty sure you get TWO round eggs if you sub them on a big breakfast, instead of scrambled.


A customer mentioned he makes his drinks 3/4 unsweet tea, 1/4 hi-c orange.

That's it for now. Will update as I learn more.
