I work nights part time to help make ends meet. Anyone who works nights can tell you that's when the crazies are out. The only place that didn't mind me being over qualified was a burger joint. Lucky me.
As with any job that deals with the public, you see repeat customers. Rewind to several days ago. I hadn't slept in over 36 hours. Was running on fumes.
I was wiping down some stuff when out of my peripheral I caught a glimpse of a vehicle pulling around to the drive thru. I thought to myself "Please don't be who I think you are". I greeted the customer and in a calm, almost relaxing, voice he ordered a meal.
Cheeseburger w/no pickles, large fries and a large diet Sprite. He just ordered 1500 calories but was gonna save 90 with the diet Sprite but, whatever. Told him the total and asked him to pull up to second window.
I had the cook throw down a fresh patty and started a new batch of fries. I filled the diet Sprite with the perfect amount of ice. I went to the window but the customer wasn't there yet. I went back and started rushing the poor lady who cooks the burgers. In her rush, that I created, she accidentally put pickles on the burger. I saw this and yelled for her to remove the pickles. I ran over to the fry station and package up the fries. The burger came down the burger chute thing and I bagged everything up. I looked back at the window and the customer was still not there.
Great, another "Order and drive off" prank. Wasted food, yelled at an old lady and made fresh fries. All for nothing.
I went back to wiping down the counters. The patty cook went out for a smoke. She came back in five minutes later and said "Someone is sitting at the first window". There's our missing customer! I stuck my head out of the window to wave him up. "Oh no, it's him" I thought to myself as I smiled and waved him forward.
First thing I recognized was the car. A yellow Prius missing the driver side mirror with the front bumper cover falling off. Usually this guy is a real pain. He wears what I think is a gi everywhere. Baby blue gi, everywhere. In his passenger seat he has a naked Barbie Doll seat belted in. Not surprised with this guy though.
He handed me the money, I handed him the food. He opened the bag and stalled. Great, here we go. He asked for hot fries. If he hadn't sat at the wrong window for over five minutes the fries wouldn't be cold! I packaged up some new, hot fries, thanked him and told him to enjoy his evening.
I notice a "Ninjas do it harder" sticker on his back window as he starts to pull away. Weirdo. I close the window. He pulled up exactly 10 feet and stopped. At this point, I see this guy talking to the Barbie Doll. He has her dancing around on his dash. This goes on for a good 10 minutes.
We all watched in amazement while uncontrollably laughing. A coworker says "I bet you $20 he stuffs fries in the donation box again". This guy is known to do this but I took the bet anyway. The Prius started moving so we all waited anxiously for what was next.
He got out of his car with the burger in one hand and Barbie in the other. This cat started jumping and rolling from shadow to shadow in the parking lot. He then went into a belly crawl and came up to the door. He reached out to the door and pushed on it with his burger. We all died laughing again because it is a "Pull" door. He saw us laughing and ran back to his car.
I looked at my coworker and said "Where's my twenty bucks?". He started getting his wallet out when someone screamed "HE'S COMING BACK!". My coworker just smilied as I turned around to see this guy with fries now. Of course, he goes right over to the donantion box and stuffs them in.
I handed over my $20 and wondered why I, of all people, was handed such an amazing hand of cards in this game of life.
