Fast Food Confessional #2

I don't know if she realizes she is doing it, but S will give me like 15 tasks that take a great deal of time and expect me to get them all done, while taking orders in like five minutes. Then she asks me to do more things before im done, but uses a tone that makes it seem like she wants it done immediately. I understand that fast food is fast paced, but really? When I am doing the tasks of two people, tasks that definitely take longer than three minutes each all at once, she really needs me to drop everything to make her an iced coffee? She's nice about it too which makes it worse. I love her to death but when I joke about how when I write "S" on her cup it means "Slavedriver" part of me is serious.

Then there are the customers. I hate when they go "I want a... Can I get a... a... ummm... uh..." I'm like use real words, complete your sentences or don't say them at all!I also don't understand why they have to be so rude. Just because I work at Burger King doesn't mean I am unintelligent. It doesn't mean that I don't have feelings, and it surely doesn't mean that I live my life to make sure your burger is made correctly. We're not robots, things happen, people mess up. Freaking grow up and deal with it, I would gladly give you your money back or replace your order. There is no need to yell at me, or call me names. I don't understand why one person can be just nice as can be, then the next car in the line is the biggest d-bag you've ever met.

I also don't get people who yell at you for offering free stuff. We were doing a deal where if you bought a whopper you would get a free 20oz drink, and the amount of people who yell at you when you offer them something for free is ridiculous. Especially when they order the sandwich and the fries. Or when you ask them the required questions. Like if they want cheese? Is it in a meal? Do they want it small, medium, or large? We are required to ask those questions people, so don't get mad. There is no need.

People don't understand that if they are nice we will be nice back. Its common sense.

We also have this manager. She is the biggest suck up ever. It irritates me because it's her tills that are always off, her date stickers that are always wrong, he counts off, well you get the picture. She does this thing where she puts the hold time on the coffee pot with the grease pen. Which is actually against the policy. Though last night when I brought it up to her, she was like "this is how I do it so I know which one the time is for." So I said that it looked tacky and she was irritated at me for the rest of my shift. Honestly, it was like 7PM, why would we need 2 coffee up? We didn't even sell one.

Another manager we have is flamboyantly... bisexual. Well he says he's bi, I can see it. Not many other people can. He irritates everyone, granted he's 20, making him the youngest manager at our store. Well, he does everything wrong also. He is so full of himself that he thinks he's always right and that his word is law. He has screamed at the employees in front of customers before. He and my boyfriend got into a huge yelling fight one night. I wasn't there but from what I heard it was bad. N the manager had to be escorted home after his shift, and my boyfriend broke a headset.

Anyhow that's all the BK drama I have in me to talk about tonight.
