Why I hate working in the food industry

Ya, i came home from work in a really bad mood today, so I'm just going to list a few points:
  • The people you work with always have to be cheery, including yourself. A lot of times I'm delightfully glum, so you can see how this annoys me. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing people happy, it's phonies I hate. Also, you don't know if your co-workers are being passive agressive or sincere. One thing I hate is insincere people.
  • The floors are so fricken greasy and slippery!
  • I come home smelling like milk, ew.
  • People in the fryers go home smelling like grease, poor them.
  • Customers sometimes can be so picky annoying.

I'd quit, but I just started, so I'm just going to put up with this for a bit. If by the beginning of next summer I still want to, I'll quit.

Funny stories from work

The people who handle your food aren't perfect...

All of the cupboards have a hole at the top in case you want to put a garbage can in there. One of the cupboards had boxes of those little condiment packets, and somebody thought it was a garbage and threw an entire ice cream cone in there.

This one guy was so nervous on his first day that he made a burger without a bun.

Three of us were working the drivethru one day; I was greeting the customer and handing out the food, Cheryl was making the food, and Megan was taking the orders. This one guy ordered a burger with no bacon, and a small dip cone. When i handed the order out the window, I read the screen and it said
1 burger
1 small dip cone
---no bacon
I couldn't help but laugh as I handed out the order.

Ashlea and I were working the drivethru one day when she asks me, "you know that song 'everytime we touch, i get this feeling, everytime we kiss, i swear i can fly...'" then she starts dancing to it, and she dances right in front of the window where the customer is just thinking 'wtf?'. Then she turns around (still dancing) and sees the customer. lol she jumps back out of view and we are just laughing our heads off. Then she tells me of this time she was working drivethru and she sees her friend's car and the person in the car kind of looks like her friend, so she starts banging on the window screaming "ABBY ABBY, HEY ABBY!" and the woman looks just horrified.

As a joke a girl dares her friend to ask a woman "would you like fries with that?" when she orders fries. lol she actually did it.
