    Beer & Tiramisu; I've got nothing else to do.

    Another thread reminded me of this one. It was about a month back, but the melodrama.. standard reminder; I work grave-drunk shift.

    Me:
    Customer:

    Me: What can I get you?
    C: I'd like a large oreo shake.
    Me: Sorry hon, our shake machine is down.
    C: WHAT? UGH FINE CAN I GET CHEESE STICKS AND A COKE!
    Me: 4.82 at the window.


    ~window~

    Me: Cheese sticks and a coke is 4.82
    C: UGH I GUESS IF THATS WHAT IM BEING FORCED TO BUY.
    Me: Sorry, we just ran out a bit ago
    C: I've been to FOUR DIFFERENT JACKS AND YOURE ALL OUT!! WTF!!!


    Youve driven all over our little mini-metro town for a 1400 calorie shake? Maybe you should have ran or something because apparently you indulge in whatever the hell comes out of that machine regularly. Here, mama drunk will give you some life advice.

    1. go to a gym
    2. stop ordering large shakes at fast food places.
    3. 2% milk + ice cream + 100 cal pack of oreos = 500 calories.

    Seriously though, its 2-3 in the morning and you're expecting the shake machine to be up? I wouldn't do that. The only time you can expect the shake machine to be up that late is friday/saturday because we do a ton of business. And I hate those days. Weekdays? It goes down at 2.

    Yes, its because we hate you. I laugh the entire time I clean that god forsaken machine thinking about you waddling home, crying into your large coke and deep fried cheese, while lamenting on livejournal about the lack of delicious shake you didnt get.


    Personal update: I'm getting better at nice! I'm also only working one job now. I have the most hours in the store. The TEAM LEADS work less than I do. The only person with more ours is the store manager/assistant manager (AM does both jobs, we dont have a real manager), However, I also get one day off next week (thursday!) and when I applied I checked the "part time" box with vigor.

    Oh! Oh! Oh!

    I had to edit this in. A while back I went on a "WTF DOES REGULAR MEAN?" tangent and someone (don't remember who) said that Jack's menu posted "Small, Regular, Large" as the sizes. My POS says "Small, Medium, Large." So Regular = Medium. Well, while I thank you for letting me know that, the tide instantly turned when I applied this knowledge.

    Me: What can I get you?
    C: A regular curly fries
    *rings in medium curly fry*
    C: I WANTED A SMALL!~!!!!


    Eleven thousand times a night. You tried, guys, and for that I give you all gold stars.

    I think Regular means "whatever I always get"...So not only do you need to read their minds (I need a bigger target here, folks...), you need to do so without seeing them first...

      You should drop by headquarters, comrade. They've added an electron microscope patch to the ESP implant required of all front-line troops. Didn't you get the memo?

        That explains the cheese sticks. He needed nourishment to continue his exciting quest to discover a JitB which perhaps forgot to close down their shake machine at 2AM. What a brave soul.

          Nah, I've been too busy catching up on those damn TPS reports...

          I could use one of those implants, tho. It might let me talk to the printer and find out what "pc load letter" really means...

            In order to use an electron microscope, you need to slice the target into super thin, non moving parts.

                My cousin is very much an EW. I hate going out to eat with her because she is a royal pain...and a B*%@#. However, i remember one day we went through a drive through and she told the speaker "I want a Regular fry".... there was a pause and then the person said "What size fry would you like?" she says "I SAID Regular!"

                ...and the lovely person on the other end said "I am sorry ma'am we serve small, medium, large, and extra-large fries. Which size would you like?"

                She stuttered and sputtered and said large......I had to stop myself from cracking up.

                  Here and I thought regular was spelled "S-e-r-u-t-a-n".

                    you might want to check the menu yourself as i've been surprised enough times in the past when menu's have been different to the POS
