This little bug (okay, HUGE bug) was caught in the crossfire of employees versus customers. That's really how it feels sometimes. As if Everyone is trying to win something by making life just a little more difficult for customer service. After working at a fast food place, I have learned several things about others, myself, and who I want to be.
- Tips. Most people are ridiculously cheap, my former self included. I'd never realized how easy it can be to just say "Keep the change".
- Having your own way. Sometimes, ya gotta understand that the hand that is giving you your food is ACTUALLY human and makes mistakes, has feelings, etc. Just laugh about it. Sure, you wanted no mayo, no pickles, extra cheese. Did you find a few pickles in that burger? So What?? Pick them out, let it go, move on. Tip the person anyway; they're probably stressed and suffering from fast-food induced acne or something. It's not that hard. Trust me.
- Patience. I get it; it's FAST food. But maybe these few extra moments, when the people inside are busily gathering up grease, fats and some oil and dumping it into a little cardboard container, you can recognize that the time it takes to sit here could easily be used prepping a quick salad. So Don't Complain.
- Gratitude. Say thanks. Give tips. The end.
