Spiraling

Man, I really just don't feel good about my workplace anymore.

My work, and by proxy, my life, is meaningless.  I feel like soon I'll do something irrevocable. Trying to get my bike fixed, so I can expand my workplace options. Anything, even at lower pay, would be better for my mental health, I think.

Anyway here's some stuff that's been happening.

On our menu we are/were advertising the 'daily double'. And above the picture of the sandwich is 'extra value meal'. Now I'm sure the obvious thinking is, 'oh it comes as a value meal, sweet'
but that's not very new. Almost everything comes as a meal. Not that anyone knows that/cares to know. They just want to see the numbers. But this has resulted in several people (mostly old people, or belligerents) saying "I'll have the extra value meal."
And then I'm all "Which one would you like"
"the extra value meal"
FUCK
Then we find out they mean the daily double meal. Sheesh. It used to be every other day.

speaking of the menu...
For fuck's sake if one more person says 'I'm looking for the dollar menu...can't find it" I'm going to throw a brick at them.

I was handing out food other day. And I had to sneeze. I hope he didn't think I was looking at him weirdly, I was just trying hard not to sneeze in his face.

I had a lot of neat stuff wrote down the other day, but someone found it and threw it away. I space out a bit too much to leave writings full of hate around.

A lady was cussing and arguing about something in the drive-thru to another customer. And our headsets don't shut off if a car is there. So I'm sitting here, place is busy, trying to think, and there's this bitch yelling obscenities in my ear. Now this chick is harshing my mellow so I say
"Are you guys done yelling in my hear, yet?" After running through several scenarios where I
1. go outside, and ask her to shut up
2. ask whats going on
3. yell through the speaker to shut it

Well, no one yelled after that.
seriously. it's fast food. calm down.


Recently we had a promotion for a buy one get one 14cents. This was a nightmare, btw. Didn't help that the managers didn't have 'aces in their places' and then they just complained, and acted like it wasn't their fault. Tch.
Freaking people go nuts over 'cheap' food. It's genius from a marketing standpoint. It gets people to spend even more money.
"man I just want a mcdouble or two today. (costs 2$)"
"me too, bro. Just a couple burgers and a small fry. (cost 3$)
holy crap! buy one bigmac, get another? Let's each get one.
Huh? then we'll have two?
Yeah, that's two burgers each. But it's on sale, so it's cheaper!
Oh and we'll need fries.
Previous cost of lunch 5$. Current cost of lunch 10$
See?

Genius.
