    isn't it pretty much a policy that if you want ketchup you have to ask for it?
    Well, for front counter, yes. For drive thru, if they have fries, we're supposed to grab one or two packets and toss them into the bag. However, he came in the middle of dinner rush, and everyone was running with their heads cut off trying to get things out to the customers, so the drive-thru girl (CW) just forgot to snatch some and toss them in the bag.

    It's so I can get ideas out of my head, I decided to put it in a blog in case people are bored or are curious as to the (many) things in progress.

      Maybe, but they must operate on an extremely high level of stress constantly to throw such sudden, violent hissy fits. Not just this guy, I've seen people go from zero to screaming in a split second. I wonder if they're a bit touched sometimes.
      I'm afraid I'm one of the people who can do that. In my case, it comes from having had expression of emotion suppressed a lot as a child: I was the 'good child', who always had a smile plastered on her face and bad behaviour - or moods - were not tolerated.

      So all that stress builds up, and up, and up, until something happens that breaks the lava dome at the top of the volcano, and the internal pressure spews a pyroclastic flow all over everything.

      .....


      I'm getting better; with therapy. In fact, that's one of the things my loves have insisted on. They assure me they'd much prefer to know that I'm GETTING stressed, so they can do something about it early on.

      But yeah - that's one (if only one) of the reasons people go from Kalm to Krakatoa in zero seconds.

      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

          That confident and quick-witted at fourteen years? All right...
          You gotta polish a memory like a stone. Chip off the parts that remind you it was just a game. Work it until it's indistinguishable from any other memory.

            I've been known to do that as well. Although mine wasn't from being forced to be cheerful as a child, it's just the way I am. Thankfully these days I can recognize when I'm approaching critical mass much better. I also know how to destress myself before I explode. Something I wish all these yayhoos would learn.

              A lot of them probably get their jollies from poking someone with a stick; I've ID'ed a few customers at the grocery store like that.

                I can thank my father for that one. He is one of those verbal combatant types and both of my parents supported me in doing anything I wanted to try (even though often I would end up getting bored with it.) So I grew up in an environment that nurtured a strong confidence and a big mouth.

                Oh, and I also thank my elder brother for quickly teaching me how to not take any crap from anyone, even him/his friends.

                I also read a lot, since I've been an aspiring writer from pretty much kindergarten, so that granted me with a very solid vocabulary even at that age (was constantly reading at a much higher grade level than I was at.)

                Rereading it I can see how some people might be suspicious of my attitude at that age, but it is what it is

                  Or a trapdoor in front of the counter that leads to a tiger pit. Ooooh, I want one now.
                  Oh no way! The poor tigers will get ill from the sucky customer.
                  Exactly...that would be cruel to the tigers

                            Nah not wrong. Though ...I don't know for sure, but I think the writers for Saw and Hostel would probably WISH they could get Jester to give them tips. Just sayin'..

                              Amusingly, I've had that very phrase said to me. Well, the first phrase. Not the part about a sideways shovel. Specifically, the first time I made my ridiculously hot Devil's Ass Chili for a chili cookoff, I had one older gentleman come up to me after tasting it and say, very politely, "With all due respect, sir.....fuck you."

                              One of the greatest vindications of my cooking efforts I've ever had!

                              I'd love to. If anyone knows someone who knows someone, I wouldn't mind tipping back a few with those guys and discussing evil possibilities......

                                I have reason to know that this also works extremely well in a soft, soprano, southern-belle-georgia-peach drawl. Only it was "with a cactus."
