Thank goodness it’s Friday.

I was so exhausted I fell asleep while I typing this blog out.

(I am so boring 😑 🤣)

whenever I miss or two days of work it’s like a catastrophe happened. I am meant to figure out what happened!

It’s like every manager was running around like chickens with their heads cuts off!

At first I didn’t notice anything was amiss.

After all, I was busy trying to get my drive thru in order.

My first order was a nincompoop! “Bacon egg muffin and a large orange juice!”

“Was that a meal or a sandwich?” I asked.

“Obviously, it’s a meal! I ordered the meal!”

My head snapped back and I glared up at the cvs screen. The customer was lucky he was outside!

“I wouldn’t be asking you if it was a meal if you ordered it right?” I snapped.

There was silence. “Oh,” he mumbled “ yeah ok”

That was it! I was done using my nice voice or my big Boy voice. Grumpy cat was gone now bitchiness was activated!

I was cleaning and stocking up, when one of the managers stormed into drive thru and grabbed all the bar towels “you aren’t supposed to have any towels on the counter!” He snapped “why do you have towels on the countertop!”

The McCafé person was stunned “but how am I supposed to clean?”

That should have been my first clue that a shitstorm was brewing. Bar towels on a counter top were messy. And violation.

I sighed and gave myself a mental face palm. “With cleaning spray and paper towel” I explained. “Like I am?”

I was taking orders when I started to get thirsty, my stomach was still churning. I took a cup and went to the sink next to my POS and had a few sips of water.

“Becky!” Derpy bellowed.

Water sprayed everywhere. Coughing, I whirled around wiping my face and glared at Derpy.

“What are you doing?!” He demanded.

What does it look like I am doing? I am in the middle of taking orders and trying to have a drink of water! I thought peevishly.

“I saw you have a cup of water! You’re hiding by the sink! Didn’t I tell you to throw the cup away after you are finished?” He went on.

I finally managed to end my order, and I spoke coolly “I only had a sip of water” I answered “because I was in the middle of a order”

“Well you kept filling it up,right”

“Um that’s because I had a sip took the order and filled it up because the cup was filled up to here” I gestured to the cup.

He blinked obviously annoyed. “Don’t use plastic cups! They are expensive! And ask to have a drink”

How about I don’t because I’m not a child and it’s my right to have a glass of water. Thanks though. I haven’t left my position but ok.

As I’m filling out a drink order and passing it along to the presenter, Pamelo gasped. “Becky! Did you use your cup to fill up the apple juice?” She smirked and she and the McCafé person laughed at my horrified expression.

“No!” I exclaimed.

“Derpy!” Pamelo turned to Derpy “Becky is using..”

“Stop it!” I snapped. “Stop! Are you trying to get me trouble!”

Derpy turned to fix me a less than amused look. “What’s going on?”

“Nothing!” I glared at Pamelo who was laughing. “Pamelo is trying to get me into trouble!”

That was serious. A used cup. Food contamination was not funny.

“Run Derpy run pretend you don’t hear their shenanigans!” I said as they continued with their not so funny jokes.

The morning progressed with customers trying my patience.

It was like why!

• A hashbrown meal. (A pancake kids meal!)
• Everything muffin (no it’s not a bagel. It was a sausage bacon egg muffin!)
• $5 burritos meal (yeah no that’s not a thing)

Later on in the afternoon, the maintenance crew started dismantling the old paper towel dispensers. Which led me to conclude either head office was coming this weekend or health inspection had come by unexpectedly and now they were scrambling to fix everything.

Despite everything, I had a good day. I was energized and laughing a lot.

I should be snuggling up with Daisy under the blanket watching a drama or TikTok!

However I am sitting here, my patience and anger growing minute by minute!

I have been waiting for two hours on my grocery delivery!😡

I wanted to make ramen with tomato gochugang sauce and dumplings! But no! I had to settle with left over fried tofu and chicken egg roll.

I should have realized this was how my day was going to end!

Why?

I was crushing people’s dreams. a few minutes before my shift ended the fryer had to be worked on. No fries. Boy, customers were angry! 🤪😂

I woke up feeling a bit better. I was hoping my shift would go by fast but my hopes were crushed.

My day seemed to drag on.

My mood soured when the cash person kept talking over me and lane 1. I couldn’t hear my customers. I asked Lane 1 what the cashier’s problem was. She shrugged. The cashier again started talking when I asked my customer to repeat his order. I finally snapped.

“What? What? What is your problem?! I am trying to take orders and you are talking! Stop talking and take cash!” I shouted.

“Becky, she said she paid out the wrong order”

I threw a cup. Of course!

“If you are going to talk on the headset? Speak English!”

A manager walking by, stopped and sigh. “Becky why are you having a meltdown?”

“I don’t know,” I replied sarcastically “maybe the cash person should be doing her job properly or I will be retraining everyone on drive-thru!”

He sighed “I will have a talk with her”

Did my mood improve? No.

Customers were ordering like they have never been outside before.

Maybe I was grumpy because I needed a bit of sugar, so I sucked on a candy.

They put a kitchen person in drive thru after lunch. That wouldn’t have been too bad. But whoever trained him for drive thru didn’t do it well. I kept thinking “is this what it’s like to work with me?”🤪😂😂
