See? This is why I don't bother.

I was working yesterday it was rather slow in the morning so I was talking to my friends. We came up with a nice one if we only could.....

Enter dream.... Good morning **** may I B*** at you to day? And sell you a man eating sleeping bag?

The rest of the my day I was drowing pics of how to torcher customers with what we carry. This is not hard we carry alot of stuff. Good thing I work in a call center!!!

Also, the person who does inventory didn't bother to order OIL. You know, for the deep fryers? We only had 2 of 4 up last night. I was so glad it was desperately slow. I only did a 420$ drop. It would have been an absolute nightmare if we got hit with ANY kind of real rush.

Since most JIBs are corporate owned couldn't you just call the store down the road and borrow some until the next delivery?

Yes, I do know what I'm going to get everytime I hit McDonalds, KFC or Subway. It cuts down on the line time and the ladies who serve me love me since it's easy.

McDonalds: either a McChicken, Cheeseburger or Double cheeseburger with medium combo (fries and drink).
KFC: Fillet burger or snack box.
Subway: Footlong chicken fillet (or variation) with old english cheese (since I'm trying to keep my tyramine levels DOWN), lettuce, capsicum, carrot, mayo and pepper, all on a sesame seed--whoops, that's meant to be Italian Herbs and Cheese Bread.

At the restaurants where I go all the time, I know exactly what I want and it almost never changes. But at new places, it's a bit easy to lose track because everything looks so good.

No. We're franchise. Either way no one is giving up oil. Apparently my boss got laughed off the phone

So I gave him both sodas, they were already made anyways. Usually they'd just go in the trash, but he was nice so whatever. I can basically do what I want at that window.

Awesome. I always preach, "Nice to me, nice to you." This has actually happened to me a couple of times. At a coffee house in my hometown, they sold all different kinds of bagels and cream cheese. Lots of the local hippie kids would come to hang out, drink coffee and add general awesome atmosphere to the place. If you were a regular, or a nice person, and short a little change, somehow, cream cheese would find it's way into your bag.

I remember when I was a door-to-door salesperson, we always worked for 8 hours and had a 20 minute break in the middle. One day it was BLISTERING Australian hot, like 57 degrees Celsius or something ludicrous like that, and we stopped at a cafe. I had a really bad week the week before and I had not a dime in my bank account, but I thought I remembered a 5 dollar note in my wallet. So I picked out a drink and went to the counter. Rang me up, turns out, my 5 dollars was actually an American 10 dollar bill that my mom had sent me and I just kept in there to remind me of home, since I would actually lose money exchanging it because of fees.

I said to the guy (who was the owner), "Oh, jeez, sorry, I thought I had Australian money, but I haven't. Unless you take American money!" I added that last bit as a joke and went to put my drink back.

He thought for a second and said, "Hey, your money's always good here." Took my money and gave me change in Australian dollars, note for note.

I know that American money is actually worth a little more, but the trouble he'd have had to go through to exchange it, plus the fees would have made the transaction pretty worthless to him. But he saw a really tired, sunburnt 20 year old girl covered in sweat who was really working for her money, and gave her a break. It was one of the nicest moments ever.

How wonderful for you. Have you considered sending him a "Thank you" card, DemoDiva?

I can't tell if you're trying to be sarcastic or not, but actually, I did later go back (after I quit that awful job) and buy lunch there. Apparently they had changed management by the time I went back, and that nice guy didn't own the shop anymore.

Every time you italicized my head tilted to the right automatically. >.>

You might be starting to get a twitch from getting yelled at by SCs...or now yelling is just turning into Whiskey heard a funny noise and you just stare out of curiosity...
