yeah, I hae been neglecting this topic for a little while now, I'm in the middle of midterms, not to mention trying to keep up with the 5 labs I have this semester. Way too many if you ask me, the is barely any time to manage all of them :(

I got a couple more stories, but they are still in the typing process, coming soon, I promise.

by the way John, thanks for droping by :)

Thanks for posting, NemoX. I really like this thread.

This topic wins at everything.:)

thanks! feedback is always appreciated

So in other words, it's entertaining least to say to work in a shop.

Just want to confirm from before:

a) Yes, the basement at the McD's where NemoX and I work(ed, in my case) is haunted. From before his time, if you left a calculator in the basement, there'd be random things entered into it when you got back.

b) There are many retards on either side of the calendar. It's pathetic when one loses their faith in humanity due to people on the customer end.

Oh, and with the coupons, those things are so bloody annoying (especially in mgmt when you need to count and pack them away at the end of the night). When people come back with them the day after they expire, I gladly refused to accept them.

You give working in retail a good name.

Do you work in it too? if so, why not share a couple of your stories? :)

Eh, at my last job I got to shoot at people.

Ok, as promised, a very well deserved and overdue update:

DLST (Daylight Savings Time) = bullshit

Ok, a day like today is filled with excuses about being late. Not only is it the weekend, but because of DLST, most everybody arrives late because “they forgot about the time change”. Well, I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to about a third of them, but two things: the rest of them, you KNOW just didn’t feel like showing up and they knew they could use that excuse.

The next segment is a small rant sponsored by: irrationality

Why do we even follow DLST is a mystery to me. I mean, it’s stupid to begin with. Back in what? The 1800’s, maybe, but nowadays? Not a chance.

Let me get this straight: as far as I understand, Ben Franklin came up with this idea to save candles because by advancing the clocks ahead would make it so they wake up when the sun was already up, avoiding wasting the candles for that hour – Sounds like a simple and good idea to me.

Now, that was nineteenth century…it’s the freakin’ twenty-first already! GIVE IT UP! Nowadays, the argument would be we save electricity if we keep doing the same…but electricity is not the same as a candle. It’s practical on a candle, on electricity, the amount of effort to generate power for a measly hour it’s minimal and irrelevant. It’s obsolete and need to be thrown away. This stupid piece of shit custom needs to stop! I WANT MY FUCKING HOUR OF SLEEP! And no – we don’t “get it back” in winter you asswipe, the whole thing is bogus bullshit.

thank you for reading today’s rant, on to the regular programmed content :)

A garbage Story

So, as a big food provider, garbage is obviously created in large amounts daily. Disposing of it is a job nobody wants to do. It makes me roll my eyes when we get somebody take it out, and if we convince them to take it to the compactor room (which in itself is almost impossible to do), they don’t even bother putting it IN the compactor, they just leave it in front of it, IN THE FLOOR, they don’t take the extra 3 seconds to just put it in, guess why? (in whiny stupid voice) “it smells bad in there”. BIG FUCKING DUH! IT’A A COMPACTOR ROOM, THE GARBAGE GETS COMPACTED, IT’S GOING TO SMELL BAD YOU STUPID PUS COVERED TAMPON ASSWIPE! It just pisses me off.

Anyway, as for the story itself, sometimes, people don’t double-bag garbage like they should, and they do get kinda heavy, so if you do put them in the compactor, sometimes you have to swing the bag to gain momentum and get it up there (the hole to put it in is about 5 and a half feet above the floor)…but as luck would have it, I once had to do that and missed, so it hit the edge and broke…all over me…I was still a regular crew back then, so I got to relax doing nothing in the back while my shirt dried, since I took it off to wash it and obviously couldn’t serve customers shirtless. Sad, gross and degrading, but true.

Well, there you have it, two more stories (an a rant). Sorry I haven't been updating as often, but school and work are a killer combo.

see ya around, more to come :)

oops, I just realized I did not mention what the second thing was, so sorry for the double post:

We have posters reminding everybody about the time change EVERYWHERE in the store within the employee only area, for the past week and a half. How can you forget it if we are reminding you everywhere?!?!?!?

on another note, hurray for boobies!

and hurray for random statements like that one! :)

Cool. So does that mean that NG is power-friendly? :)
He says the total amount saved is 75k dollars, but this is making a lot of assumptionsn and even so, consider the actual cost versus gross income of power plants, that is what I mean, in reality, it is not that expensive. Big numbers might hint oterwise, but consider the bigger scale and the fact that those big numbers also have big invomes to compare.

Thanks for the link :)

I have a new name for the McDonalds burgers in general...Pedoburgers...

Can anyone guess why?

Because they consist of a forty-five year old piece of meat between two five year old buns...

so, just two quick updates today:

Basement Ghost Explained - McDonalds is Heavenly!

I had not noticed this until now. Remember how in my original post I mentioned the basement was haunted?

On the stairs going down to the basement (from where you can ussually hear the most noises usually), I always saw a stain in the wall, but never paid attention to it....until this sunday!

With Good friday approaching and all, I was thinking of this kind of religious stuff, when my eyes saw the stain...and I realized it looked like Jesus! maybe the ghost is really Jesus that likes McDonalds!

I'm not trying to be blasphemous or offend, but I really do believe it looks like it! I'll state for the record, I took the pic with my camera phone, so quality is poor, and I don't know how to use, or even own photoshop. The pic is real and has no alterations other than the second one being outlined (using paint).

When the middle-aged teenager attacks

I’ve said we screw up. It would be stupid to say we never do. Policy is, we do not replace anything without a receipt, but of course, we usually ignore that because it takes too much time and we really just want to fix your problem quickly. Anyway, for refunds, it is a bit more strict, because to do a refund for an order or item, it has to be done on a till that has had that item sold that same day. This means if you try to do a refund for example on a bicmac at 9 in the morning, you cannot do it because there have not been any sold in any of the tills, and the system will NOT let you do it. Also, if it has been sold in one till, but not the other, you can only do it in the same till it was sold by.

Anyway, at one time, we had a customer come through DT, order coffee and some muffins, and left. Comes back about an hour later and insists his BLT Bagels had sour mayo, and he want a refund, not a replacement. Of course he has no receipt (if he did we could look for the transaction number and confirm his claim), problem as you guessed it, is that there had not been any BLT bagels sold that day. We told him he probably got it at another location, that we could replace it, but no refund. Well, he got mad, started swearing as usual, but then he came back even later in the day to write “McDonalds Sucks” in the DT wall. Very childish, considering the guy was in his 30’s.

He also came back later during the week, ordered huge orders in DT, and when the food was ready, he would say he changed his mind and kept driving. Not amusing at all, specially during lunch rush…

more to come! :)

Either that or a hippy. ;)

a little hippy/hobo living there for years and we don't know about him/her? that'd be quite a feat to accomplish :)

Hmm, isn't it strange that in England, all the customers and crew are helpful, polite and charming. I haven't a single complaint about McDonalds.

Great topic btw.
