Fast Food

I don’t know any of you personally enough to decipher who is a fast food hater and who loves a good whooper and some hot fries, but regardless my job is ok and it gets me through school.  Even though I don’t anyone personally, to those of you that order fries with no salt that take three minutes to cook when you come through  drive through on a Saturday, make my pejoratively loud, annoying timer beep incessantly until you drive away, and leave the allowance of the person in back of you coming to my window asking “Why am I waiting so long for my chicken value meal?”, so that I can feel inadequate for the eight dollars an hour that I have been making for two years you know who you are!  I would like to take a moment to inform you that while I see my share of lovely customers who are polite and understand the point of a drive-through some people do not.  If one is to order one of everything from the dollar menu someone still has to make your food poor the drinks and get it out the window in two minutes or we the employees are blamed for being slow.  When you order five kids meals and three valued meals because it couldn’t behove you to think that the person in back of you only wants a cheeseburger anda drink think about how you would feel if that was you sitting behind someone with a huge order nd it was you who wanted a sandwich or a couple of drinks because you were in a hurry.  Not to go long winded but we as employees have someone to answer to when you don’t get your thirty dollars worth when you want it how you want it.  Picture it!  Summertime at your house and everyone likes what you cook and you are trying to do it without air conditioner because it affects the temperature of hot food while you have fry lamps, heat chutes holding units around you and the meat is coming off a broiler as you try to make two minute times and not dehydrate while the big boss stands in front of you telling you to hurry up while you can’t avoid following procedures because if you fail a Board of Health inspection so that your lovely boss won’t can your job!  To you who say you’ll never work there, I say if you hate the food so much why do you keep eating it?  I am supposedto be the dummy behind the counter that you have to tell that you want the blue size just in case I am not literate or comprehensive enough to simply ring in a medium.  Yes, it really happened to me!  Oh, the parking lot!  My pet peeve!  If you acknowledge a trash bag is probably going to overflow or the bag isn’t put in correctly please use a less full one!  I am not anyone’s mom and I do not get a bonus every timethat I pick up after you, sweep your cigarette butts off the ground, or pick up whatever containers that flew out your window by accident, from food that you purchased somewhere else.  It is rude.  Do you do that to your drive way when you get home or do you bother to use a trash receptacle?  Stop!  If not for people like me, do it for the enviornment!
