The fishflies got worse today. They. Were. EVERYWHERE! Our poor dive thru person was getting attacked everytime she opened the window. They were hitting her face, clothes, ears, they were landing on the screen and cashing out orders, they were all over the cealing. Right when the sun went down, they seemed to appear out of nowhere and swarm the place. We ran to the fusebox and started shutting off lights in the dining room and in the kitchen, hoping to keep them out of the store. My female manager was having panic attacks and screaming bloody murder whenever one came near her, Coworker S was getting pissed off at the bugs pushing buttons and the customers being sucky, and I was running all over trying to keep up with the orders for both kitchens while Mr Dave and Coworker A dealt with the bug problem and Manager Kay ran away screaming every 3 seconds. All in all, there was plenty of suck to go around without the SC's jumping in.
2.5 minutes is too long!!!
We had a mini rush of teenagers around 10:30pm. I was on the inside line making food by myself. However, I am a very capable cook and was getting the orders out within 5 minutes or less. There is a small timer above each order on the screen that starts when the first item is entered into the computer and stops when the cook clears the order.
This teen had been waiting 2:36 (minutes:seconds) when I brought his order up. I called out the order number and a tall, pouty guy came up and snatched the bag from my hand. He gave me a dirty look and walked off.
Here's my take on this...
I'm over getting a drink because, well, I'm parched, when I hear this guy YELLING at our cashier!
SC: I came ALLL the way back here because YOU people gave me the wrong thing!!!
CW: I'm sorry sir. I'll have them fix that for you.
SC: That isn't enough! My whole order is COLD now!!
CW: Then we will remake your whole order.
SC: I don't WANT my whole order remade!!! The rest is just FINE!!
CW: I don't know what you want.
Mr Dave to the rescuueee!!
Mr Dave: What's the problem?
SC: *tells his sob story of how the big bad taco store put tomatoes on his 2 widdle tacos when he don't like tomatoes and made him drive 3 long miles to come back
Mr Dave: Ok. We'll fix that for you. It's 2 taco supremes no tomatoes, correct?
SC: Yes, but here's my take on this. I had to drive all the way back here because you people didn't do your job right. I think I deserve some free stuff here!
At this point, I had to get back to work
but Mr Dave told me this guy tried to scam a bunch of free crap.
Me: What did you give him?
Mr Dave: Oh, he didn't get nothin!!
Me:
You're awesome... 
Being an ass can be expensive
Guy calls Taco Store. Mr Dave picks up
Mr Dave: Taco Store, this is Mr Dave. How can I help you?
SC: I came in here last week and ordered 2 5-layer burritos with no beans and no sour cream and they came with sour cream. I want them replaced with free stuff thrown in.
Mr Dave: Ok. Do you have your reciept with you?
SC: No. Why would I have a reciept?
Mr Dave: Well, you need a reciept to prove you were here and to prove what you bought. Without the reciept, I can't give you anything.
SC: Ass *hangs up*
Mr Dave: Hey Manager Kay, let all the managers know if a guy comes in saying he needs 2 5-layers no beans, no sour, tell him to f*ck off. He's a rude liar who hung up on me.
MK: Will do!
It never pays to be an ass
Approaching meltdown...
CS: Coworker S who is working on Drive Thru
CS: *buries her face in her hands* UrAHHHH!!!
Me: You ok?
SC: If one more person uses the words "gross", "disgusting", and "fishfly" in the same sentence, I'm gonna lose it. All the girls are screaming and squealing, no one will roll their window down, everyone is bitching about the bugs, people are being pussies and freaking out when a bug comes within 2 feet of them and all the drunks keep pointing out that I have fishflies on my chest. I'm facing an open window! They are gonna land on my boobs!!
Me: ......I'm sorry
I love you, but...
Sucky Woman: Is Pizza Hut still open?
CS: No, Pizza Hut closed 3 hours ago.
SW: DAMMIT!!! Look, I love you so much, but this is f*cking rediculous. It's SO unfair!
CS: Umm....ok....
Sucky Guy: It's ok baby.
SW: F*ck you.
SG: No, I'll f*ck YOU later!
SW: Oh please do it now! *gigglegigglesqueal*
Taco Bell Folk: ........err
CS: Can I help you??
SW: Oh yeah! *gigglesqueal*
Eventually, they place their order and continue to be annoying, horny drunks at the window.
CS: You two be REALLY careful driving home, ok?
SW: *giggle* You're SO bad!!
SG: Don't act like you hate it!
Me: *facepalm*
Why is the world made of butterflies?
SC: Hi.....uhh....
CS: Go ahead.
SC: I can't shee right.
CS: ....
SC: I want...a...ques..dilla.
CS: What kind?
SC: St...st...steeakkk-ah
CS: Ok.
SC: An...an...d...Those...kito..thin..gs
CS: Taquitos?
SC: YEAH! Thash it! Steak one..s
He came to the window and seemed to be tripping on something weird.
SC: Wait! I wan' hot shaushe. Wait...I dun need shaushe!! Huhhuhhuh
CS: Umm....
Is she a bad girl?
A mom comes to the window with her small daughter who can't be more than 3 years old. The girl is out of her carseat and is hugging mommies headrest. My first thought: "This woman is a sucky mother. It's 2am and she is not buckled in. She should be in her bed".
I didn't say anything because it's not my place to lecture her on how to care for her children.
She ordered her food, confirmed that it was correct on the screen, then tried saying her order was wrong.
Sucky Mom: I ordered 2 cinnamon twists!!
Me: I only rang you up for one. If you want a second one, you will have to pay for it.
SM: I am NOT paying for it!!
Me: Then, I'm sorry, but I can't give it to you.
SM: I shouldn't have to pay extra for your mistake!
Me: You aren't paying extra. You will only be charged for the cinnamon twist you wanted in the first place.
SM: You will give me that twist! I am a paying customer and the customer is ALWAYS right!!
Me: *biting my tongue*
Little Girl: Mommy, why are you yelling at the lady? Did she potty in the sandbox too?
Me:
SM: ......*flush*....No honey. How much for the twist?
Me: 94 cents.
I love that little girl
A Cool Quesadilla?
This guy pulls up 3 minutes to close. I don't realise the time and take his order anyway. He orders 8 items, one of which is a chicken quesadilla. I wasn't supposed to take any more orders, so the grills were already off. I told him this and asked if he wanted the quesadilla still or if he wanted it taken off his order.
SC: Make me a super cool quesadilla!!
Me: Sorry?
I didn't know food could be cool
SC: Like put cheese on top and melt it and put nacho cheese and
Me: I can't do that. It will stick to the wrapper and make a huge mess.
SC: Oh....what can you do?
Me: I can steam it instead of grilling it.
SC: That's it???
Me: Yupp.
He took it steamed without too much of a fuss after I told him we closed in 4 seconds.
Closed...It's a new concept
The guy from the previous story was still at the window doing God-knows-what when this guy came to the speaker.
Note: It is now 3:04am and the store is closed.
SC: Hello?.......Hello!?.......HELLO?!!!.....Mam?....I 'm ready to order!!!!.......
He sat there for 5 minutes, then seemed to give up and drove away. Keyword: seemed.
Another car approached the speaker.
SC: HellOOOOO???!!!
Omg it's him again!
SC: HELLOOOOO!!! TAKE MY ORDER!!!
It's past 3am. We can't possibly be closed, so the only logical explination must be that we are ignoring you. Drive around again. Trick us into thinking you are someone else. Deepen your voice, that's it. What? They didn't buy it? Wow! That ALWAYS works!!! Time for Plan B: Call the drive thru lady a lazy bitch and pull up to the window. Then, when she looks at you and motions towards the "Store Hours" sign, play dumb and tell her to open the locked window. What? She REFUSED!! Unheard of! Plan C: Wait at the window and waste 3 minutes of your life. You obviously don't have anything better to do. She is SURE to cave after the first few seconds. After all, what cashier can stomach seeing a customer in his car, alone, in the dark scary world, without food...
She walked away?!! HEARTLESS BITCH!!! Just leave now, before you do something stupid. 
You become what you laugh at...
A few days ago, a coworker of mine was "attacked" by a fishfly and he freaked out and took off his shirt (I posted that story in General Work Chat). Earlier today, a fishfly flew down Coworker S's shirt and she screamed and shook her shirt to get it out. I laughed
but so did she. Later when I was doing dishes, I leaned over to grab a pan. Little did I know, there was a fishfly on it. The button on my work shirt popped off a while back. Now, it doesn't show anything inappropriate, but my neckline is a tad more open. Anyway, I grabbed the pan and the fishfly who was chillin' on it freaked out and flew down my shirt. I dropped the pan in the water and, after trying to get him out, took my shirt off to avoid smooshing him and making a mess. Why was today the day I decided to not wear an undershirt......

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
