  • I Don't like it (tales from my other job)

    I'm now working (2nd job)part time as a cashier for a food joint down the road. I don't like it...as much as my current job in hotel work. I'm not sure why, maybe it's working with pple I don't know is getting to me.
    Anyway, this all happened on my first day.

    Me: Hello.
    SC: I want--uh--
    Me: Yes?
    SC: Uh---um---*flailing arms*

    The SC stood there for a while, saying Um and Ah and gesturing wildy so the manager spoke up.

    Manager: A burger? You want a burger ma'am?
    SC: Yes!

    As I was putting in the order, the SC thrusts something at the manager. It was a coupon.

    Manager: This coupon is for one free burger.
    SC: Yes! I want!
    Manager: Okay then.

    So the lady gets her burger delivered by the manager and she starts screaming.
    SC: What! What!
    Manager: This is your burger ma'am.
    SC: NO! No!
    Manager: You ordered this...
    SC: No! I wanted 2 burgers! TWO!
    Manager: Your coupon was for one burger.
    SC: No! TWO!

    The manager walked away from the lady, who was still shouting Two! and throwing us nasty glares. She ate and stormed out.

    Tale 2

    So while I was still experincing horrible flashbacks about coupons from my retail days, a man and what looked like his two wives walked in. WIth their mess of screaming children. O_o Ehhh.

    The man orders wife 1 to order. Keep in mind, both his wives had face covering that made all their speech muffled and wife 1 had a very soft voice.

    Me: Hello.
    Wife 1: *very very softly* Hi I'd like ten burgers.
    Me: Excuse me? Ten?
    W1: Yes...

    I was practically leaning across the counter to hear her, something she and her husband didn't seem to like.

    Husband: *to me* 'ey! *yells something in a foreign language giving me a dirty look*

    The manager had to step in. He took the order for 10 very complicated burgers.

    Me: *still trying to help* May I have a name for hte order?
    W1: *mumble*
    Me: Excuse me? Ada Lynn?
    W1: No! No!

    Yeah it was a headache. How we managed to get them their food is a miracle to me. I don't see why the husband couldn't order, he had nothing on his face.

    Tale 3

    So I was still training how to use the confusing register and this old crocthety look woman comes in.

    Me: Hello.
    OCW: Hi, I'd like a burger.
    Me: Ok *puts in order*
    Manager: *whispers to me* Ask if she'd like cheese on that.
    Me: Would you like cheese?
    OCW: No, and if you'd stop interrupting me, I'd tell you what I want!

    Yikes. Who put washers in her salad?

    Not all were like that but I still don't like it....
    Can't reason with the unreasonable.
    The only thing worse than not getting hired is getting hired.
