Working Too Hard

Oh balls. Just remembered a story that is amazing.
So I'm handing out food. We call it the 'presenter'. It's all about smiling and not being a jerkface. So, my companions are dumbshit #1 and dumbshit #2. An iced coffee appears on the screen. The presenter's not supposed to make anything, normally. So one of the dumbshits make the coffee. It's correct, as it was ordered.
(actually this happened a while ago, so the exact specifics are fuzzy)
This was changed on our screen soon, (a change before pay) into an iced latte.
Now I know an iced coffee is cheaper. Almost a dollar cheaper. and our iced coffee is already made. So I ask this lady, this 40ish year old larger lady, I ask her if she wanted a latte, or if she wanted a iced coffee.
She said iced coffee. Okay. Well, we've overcharged you, let me get the refund.
(again not sure on exact words)
Let me speak to your manager.  Oh those wonderful words. Oh what people will do just so they can be told the same thing, by a person in a different colored shirt.
So about five minutes pass of her going on about something to the manager.
Maybe she had had a previous problem. I don't remember.
Point is, she's wasting everyone's time.
So our drive-thru is backed up for several minutes, food's getting cold, her iced coffee is probably melted, yadda yadda. Unh I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it.


And it's all because I noticed a mistake, and tried to fix it, and tried to help another human being.

Fuck.
Not gonna play this game again. Unappreciative fuck.
Granted, days later, a dirty man gave back like forty-five cents.
Apparently I've just been working too hard...
and nothing good ever comes of that

Comedy Minute

I don't want to post more than twice a day, but I never feel like posting, but when I do, I want to post everything I've accumulated...
I can sometimes hear what people are really saying as they order...
"I want a heart attack with a side of clogged arteries, with a large diabetes to drink."
Yeah, that one took me thirty minutes.

I was wondering... is it illegal to haul whales in civilian vehicles? Because I see them all the time.

This gel mat we stand on in drive-thru is crushed and flattened. Just like our dreams.
Worn down and useless. Like our souls.

We think being rude is justified.  So do they.

The other day someone said "hehehe you sound different". No shit sherlock, I didn't take your order. But instead of meekly taking their money and saying it was someone else, I said "Ah that's just one of my many talents."
Why's everyone think they're being so fucking clever?
I seriously heard that line 5 times yesterday. At least once an hour some yokel came by with that line.

More soon.

Rainy Monday

The sun was shining! The sky was crying!
It was such a hassle to find my rain jacket.
I'm always at the top of my game on Monday!
I wish people didn't stop so far away from the window! I have to reach so far to them! Freaking jerks!
People! Why!
This Lady! Driving some DOUCHE! She didn't order! Didn't say a word! Was she mute?! Guy wasn't loud enough! Couldn't hear! He didn't respond! Confusion and Anger!
I can hear his jerky-ness, but can't figure the words! ARGH! Why do passengers order!?
 Hatin' it!

Everyone's a dick! Everyday!

This guy! This fuck! Gods, just pluck him from the EARTH now!
McChicken with Pickles and Onions, he says!
For clarification I say, added, or only?
Well I want the mayo and lettuce and whatever else as well!
Okay, bro, just clarifying.
Yeah whatever. Do I get a smsknvojdisco?
A what?
Military discount.
We don't do those.
Oh yeah? Just got one last week. Get one every time I come here.
No you don't. Ask manager just to be sure.
I'm sorry we don't.
You ask your manager?
Yes. It's a dollar-eight.
First window? he asks? second window?
I don't give a f which window he goes to, so I say nothing. It's daytime. He'll figure it out.

He didn't.
This fuck isn't in uniform. He looks/acts like a doucher. Has a kid in passenger side. They're nommin on sonic food and slurpin on sonic drinks. There's a good five feet tween his car and the next car. enough for him to pull up, to pay as I stand at the window. BORED OUT OF MY MIND BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS MOVING SO SLOW TODAY
Space is available, he goes WHOOO and zooms to second window. I inform them over the headset, "don't let '95' leave without paying for his ___ing food." I censor myself in front of customers. probably not professional. but funny, eh?
So he paid for it, and left.
I heard he threw a cup on the ground since we can't take stuff through the window, then manager lady told him to pick it up, and he did.
What a fuck.





I got moved to the hand food out window, and boy was that fun!
nearly every person wanted to add on something OR PAY 11 DOLLARS IN CHANGE THEN DIG FOR MORE
FUCK!
PEOPLE!!
STOP SUCKING!!!

Helping

It happened twice yesterday.
Once, a lady mentioned we forgot a fry. I didn't see any fry in the drive thru monitor. So I went to the back to get a receipt for her, after asking her to wait for a sec.
Upon my return I noted the receipt only had two, not three on it. And the customer had drove off.

Another one... he came by, got a cheeseburger and a fry, then came by, a few minutes later. Old man, saying in an angry tone how we forgot his burger and fries.
I said I had gotten him that.
No not that. He told me a story about how 'she'(he'd jerk his thumb back, but no one was behind him) called the store for the replacement. He did have a receipt.
"I ripped it up though, got so angry"
Angry at what?
ugh. I had him hand over the pieces and I told him I'd figure it out. We reassembled the receipt, it was from that day I think, so I get the manager to head over there.

But he's gone already.


I guess both patrons realised they were wasting their time. In both cases I'm pretty sure we couldn't help them.
-
I get so much satisfaction out of charging for sauces. Especially if the person is rude, says it rudely, or says it like they're entitled to it.

I left the window open as the next vehicle rolled up, and the guy yells
"I'm here to pick up my food!"
"Well you came to the right place!"
frikkin rednecks.


One lady said she didn't order a med sprite. Oh, sorry, so I took it back. But then I got thinking. It was totally on the screen. It's on the receipt. Uh oh. So I get a refund, and when I get that, she realises whats happened. She wanted a med FRY. Ah, so I wamboozle 11 cents from her and bingo, med fry, customer satisfied!

I've haven't had a friday that good in a while. I felt accomplished.
I felt pride, in my crummy job.

Hydration

Back drive through, again

"I'll take a large water."
"Alrighty, that'll be Zero Cents at the first window."
He pulls around. "Uh did you say zero cents?"
"Yup, they'll have your water at the next window"
reminded me of this, from my childhood

Waiting

I think the entirety of our society, maybe even all of life, is built upon 'waiting'. Wait in line, wait until you're older, wait for a green light, wait for your food, wait until it's time, etc.
Personally, I enjoy waiting in line. I take it as part of the experience, and I should enjoy it. I think others try to ignore it. They're ignoring life!

I feel like I can do most of the job in my sleep. I don't have to pay attention anymore.
One person's total was 11.39. They didn't have enough, so they said to remove a mcdouble. I didn't even check. I figured it'd be 10.10.
I was right. Man, I'm good at this job.

Unfortunately I only seem to be worth forty five cents more than a new hire.

Death (from last summer? never posted)

Killed a giant wasp today.
Felt great.
I want to make killing things my career.
If Dale Gribble can do it, so can I.

well, gee

I wish I wasn't born with values, morals, or pride, so I could be a sleazy/lazy sack of shit too.

Hate it when people call-in repeatedly and don't get fired.
