Apparently some customer(s) complained about me doing 'culturally insensitive' voices, which may be related to that when I've been bored I've been making up characters to play, but they're either a guy from Tennessee or Ringo from Liverpool, so I have no idea what the gently caress.

That sucks. But I'm sure you'll be able to laugh it off eventually. Makes me wish someone complained about when I decided to talk like Charles Bronson all day a month ago.

They did the smart thing and waited for me to call them when I realized on my last day that I wasn't scheduled for the next week. I had literally zero notice.

My only regret besides being unemployed again is that I won't be able to get anymore of the free donuts I would swag because the rich cunts never by them and the store just throws them out anyway.

But if you do it long enough it's no longer you doing a voice and instead it's just a line of people who are convinced that that's actually the way you talk. That's what gets me off.

Food service is living hell. Everyone should work in food service at least once if just to gain empathy for workers, but I'd put a bullet in my skull before I'd go back to that. A few years in high school were enough to make me never be a jerk to wait staff or cooks ever.

I didn't need to work in food service to have empathy for those who did.


But now I work in food service and it's bad and okay at the same time. At least my boss is cool. I have a week off this week to do nothing but create and chill. So that's nice.

That's basically my attitude. I've worked at various McDonald's for 8 years of my life. At various times, I've found the pace and the challenge to be quite fulfilling, but overall, I've seen enough of the big picture to recognize how toxic of an environment it is and I would love very much to never, ever go back.

The writing intensive credit from this horrible class I've been bitching about is the last thing I need to graduate. I didn't find a job 6 months ago when I should have, but I'm in the job search right now, and the idea that I may get an actual job that doesn't involve sweating my rear end off, breaking my back, frequent burns, and being covered in airborne grease, is basically the most optimistic thing ever.

I'll actually tip more if it's bad service because either they're having a lovely time or I'm going to guilt them.

Also, 2 1/2 years in retail and 6 years in phone service have made me sympathetic to the point where I have to get over feeling bad to push about stuff.

in my 25 years of existence, I've only sent back food, like...twice I think. Both times because they were just really bad. If I order something and it's just mediocre, then...oh well? I'll pay for it, and never order it, or never go back again. No big deal.

And when it's busy as poo poo, and service is slow, I'm more patient than I ever am. I get legit anxiety when people bitch about bad service, when clearly there's two servers taking care of the whole restaurant. Hate those people. They're fucks.

Also, sometimes totally unprovoked I would adopt a disgruntled police chief/cop movie voice and say to [x] co-worker, "Your devil may care attitude won't fly in this department, [x]. Here we do it by the book. Your bad attitude is liable to get someone killed." It never fails to get a laugh, so that's the better part of a day.

But the best part of the day is when we're in a rush, and I'll just put on my phone playing work safe music, and customers would be digging it. On two separate occasions, while I was waiting for a customer's chip card to read, we've song along to classic rock, once to the Beatles' "Nowhere Man," then again to Simon & Garfunkel's "The Only Living Boy in New York."

I am a strong believer in the waiter test: if someone is rude to waiters they are a bad person, even if they are nice to you. I occasionally complain about something, but always very politely. I don't se what's so hard about treating other people like humans. The other day I offered the street sweeper outside our house a drink because it was hot; he said it was the second time in four years that anyone had done that.
