So I got a job - woo! I wasn't really expecting to get hired right on the spot after my interview at Wendy's three weeks ago, but then it happened and I was super excited! This is my first time working in fast food so I've noticed a lot of interesting things being on the other side of the drive-thru window. Here are some of my observations (and this is only my second week of it):
Observations
-If you have to open your door to pay me because your car window is broken, was coming through the drive-thru really your smartest decision of the day?
-BIGGEST PET PEEVE: If you're driving up to my window to pay me, don't stop 5 feet before the window to make sure you find your money...I would literally rather you pull up and let me entertain myself watching you trying to find it than having to wait to see when you'll finally decide to pull forward.
-Is it really necessary to be smoking when you pull up through the line? Let's just say I did not wake up to get smoke blown in my face.
-I'm sorry if you hate having change...but DO NOT decide to pay your amount with only change. $2 or less? Sure, go crazy. (not too crazy, but still.) But $5 or more? Now you're just being vindictive.
-If you're talking on your phone while I'm trying to talk to you, it better be important. Like you're pregnant and decided the best time to tell the father was when you were buying yourself some pregnancy cravings.
-Saying "Keep the change" when the change is 1 cent isn't really that helpful...it's not like that extra cent is going straight into my banking account. But thanks..?
-If you said it's to go and I start putting it on a tray, don't get angry and say "uhhhh this is TO GO" because that literally makes me want to "uhhhh accidentally" throw your food away. Do you even know how many orders I go through in an hour? No need to be ruuuuuude.
-If you're coming to a fast food place and you're going to only spend less than $5, do you REALLY have to use a $50 bill? Cause now it's a whole process and managers gotta get called in and I have to go put it in the safe...not even worth it.
This are just some of the ones that I could remember and some of the funnier thoughts I've had. While some of these might sound like I'm complaining, I'm totally not. I'm poking fun at my job because it's fun and it keeps me entertained! I'm really happy I got the opportunity to work at Wendy's and I can't wait to see what other funny stories I'll be having :)
