but even so, there are phrases that get stuck in your vocabulary. We say them unthinkingly, at certain times, when certain conditions have been met.
'is this for here or to go?' but all they ordered was a soda. Sodas are always to go. Or for here. That's the amazing thing about drinks. They're super portable!
A kid from sonic rolled through and I think he tried to ask if I wanted any cheddar bites with my meal, after I got him his change back. "still in work mode" he said.
See what I mean? We're braindead automatons. Saying the same thing everyday, dying a little each time.
I was cleaning the lobby when I noticed a cup, a phone charger and a bag of sunflower seeds. But no patron. I usually give stuff ten minutes until I toss it. Later, after my break, I notice it still there. "Wow, free bag of sunflower seeds!" I said. I grab it and take it to the trash can.
"no no no wait" A youth comes out of the woodwork. It was all his crap. That's fine then.
I found a daddy long-legs in back drive. Maybe I shouldn't tell what bugs I've found at my restaurant. But you better assume every place has em. But these guys are harmless. I was gonna toss him outside, but we were busy, then he disappeared, then came back. I tried to pick him up by his leg, and toss him out. Alas, it was too windy. He flew back in.
Further attempts to pick him up resulted in his leg popping off. And he scurried away.
In another sales tax related story, I told a guy it was 10.85. He got to the window. said it was 10.09. I said, sales tax is 76 cents. I spent the next two minutes watching him search and count for those extra cents.
Keep in mind, the screen out there, shows the total.... with tax included....
and if you have to search for change to cover sales tax.. .what are you doing going out to eat?
I think I'm gonna learn the piano, and see if I can just provide live music at mcd all day. I'll take a pay cut if I can get tips. That sounds like a lot more fun.
