  • My worst customer today...

    ...was my boss, Ma.

    Standard planning: Shut down the last fryer at 7:30, close at 8:00, home by 8:30.
    At 7:10, we put down a half-batch of chicken. During that, someone placed an order for 12 pieces. Jump to 7:25, we gave out the 12pc, and had little chicken left -- 1 breast, one drumstick, three wings.

    Ma laments that she wanted some chicken. "Well, that's all we have, unfortunantly". Not good enough. She hints that she wants me to stop shutting down the fryer, and personally make her a new batch.

    Wait a minute. She wants me to spend the next half an hour personally cooking her supper? So I don't get out until 9:00 and get yelled at by Tammy the next day?

    Luckily she just grabbed the breast and walked away. I just can't imagine holding off close an extra half an hour, just to make her a meal. I mean, she could've told us BEFORE I put the chicken down at 7:10 -- she'd been there since 3:00.
    I've been here for two years, work harder than most others, and I'm getting paid $1.80 an hour
    less than the 17 year old slacker you hired two months ago. Maybe that's why I'm not chipper at work.

      Oh God, don't get me started on 'fresh' people.

      We deal with fried chicken.

      "Is this chicken fresh?"
      (Happily): "It's only about 10 minutes old"
      "Oh... you don't have anything fresher?"


      Wtf? Fried chicken is good for several hours. 10 minutes is the perfect time for it to go from "Dripping oil" to "Mmmmm mmm crunchy skin cooked hot white meat"

        "Those eggs were delivered half-an-hour ago. The shelf was empty, so they're all the same date."

        "But they're always freshest from the back..."

        We even had someone claim we always put the brownest to the back.

            My newest pregnancy craving is KFC chicken. We get the $12 meal, and since there's two of us, we stick the rest in the fridge. It stays good for DAYS. You can nuke it, bake it until it's warm, or just eat it cold and it is SO good. I could live on a freaking bucket of chicken for a week.

            Ten minutes old? Geez...would they like to lick the grease trap?
            I may be free from retail, but the nightmares still linger.....
