While in High School, my good friend Brenda had several jobs. She was so kewl and would always e-mail me various stories. Most of them were about the drive-through while working at McDonalds, but sometimes I would get other work stories as well. Although they have currently stopped filling my inbox, I had a few saved. While cleaning out my old saved messages years ago, I found these. Enjoy!

Hey!
Ok, I worked at McD's last night and you'll probably get a kick out of this a whole lot more than I did, so here it goes:
Ok, there are these 2, sometimes 3 guys who always come in on counter. They are the yuckiest, scummiest, gross, disgusting people I've ever seen. They're all dirty and they all need haircuts, just really yucky. (get the picture) Anyway, it seems like they always end up in my line when I have to work counter.
Last night I was working drive thru, at the 2nd window when I was them come in. I was like, "Ewww! Those guys are so scary and gross and yucky!" And I hid behind the wall in my little cubby hole. Well, Dan, the guy who was pushing the food out to the cars, started laughing, looks over at them, and when they looked at him, I peeked out and all of a sudden Dan points to me and yells, "Hey, she likes you!" I just about died! It was so horrible and I hope I never have to wait on them ever again cause it'll be WAY too embarassing to have to do that because OF COURSE they'll remember, you know... YUCK! It makes me sick just thinking of those guys. Ewwww...
But, on the other hand, tonight at Cook's, I was helping this other guy out, who was pretty good looking, in his 20's. The first thing he said to me was, "I need a teapot to get for this older lady I work with." Then I asked him something about the style that he was looking for and he goes, "Well, I don't know, but I'm single and I don't really make tea..." He kept emphasising the fact that he was single and asking me all this stuff about where I go to school and stuff... Hmmm... I wish he'd some to McD's sometime, I never get nice people like that... he could beat up those scary guys for me, hahaha.
I don't work again til Monday, but maybe something funny will happen at our band practice tomorrow or thurs, or at one of our concerts. I'll let you know if it does!
later,
Brenda

Hey!
Its McDonalds Monday once again! Believe it or not, there really weren't THAT many cooky people at work today. Stange, I know. But one of my favorite senior citizens was back in the drive thru tonight! The lady who orders a small chocolate shake in a bag! Uh, and why does one need their shake in a bag? Correct me if I'm wrong, but most people drink their shakes, not put them in bags. And, if she was gonna drive home and then drink it, she could always put it in her cup holder in her car. (She has a newer car, and I'm sure its equipped with a cup holder). Oh, but the funny thing was, when I handed it to her, she DROPPED IT! Hahahahaha! Well, I kinda felt bad for her, cause I went running off to quickly make her a new one, and she must've felt kind of stupid opening her door to pick up the bag and give it to me... but it was really funny!
Well, I guess that's it for McD's this week. If I have some funny people at Cook's, I'll be sure to let you know!
Adios, Gabi! ("Gabi es muy gabi, hoy!")

Hey!
I haven't heard from you in awhile. Are you dead? You can't be cause I still have crazy McDonalds stories for you!
Well, I can't remember all of the dumb things that customers have done the past few times that I worked, but I did something pretty funny. Ok, I was kinda being pushed around and just filling in for people as they took breaks one day last week. When I went into drive thru, I started taking orders and all of a sudden, the person ordering finished, and instead of reading the total to them, I meant to say, "is that all?" but instead, I said, "Is that for here or to go?" I almost died! Then, to make it worse, I'm still on the speaker, and I go, "Oh my god, i'm sorry!" and I started laughing REALLY hard! Everyone who was working and heard me thought it was pretty damn funny, but the people in the car thought that I was on crack or something.
And there was another time, this was on Friday. I was up at 1st window taking $ and there was another guy, Dan, taking orders. Well, this really hot guy drives up in his car and I told him his total. All of a sudden, Dan sticks his head out the window, right next to mine, and goes, "What? You think this guy is hot!?" Of course, my face was totally red, and I wanted to kill Dan right then. Wow. That was too embarrassing.
If you have any good suggestions on how I can get Ricky Martin songs out of my head, I would be SOOOOOO happy. I've been "livin' la vida loca" since around 2:00 this afternoon and I am really starting to think that I am loca. Haha, maybe I should give "Pablo" a call and ask for some uvas! I guess I'll talk to you later, cause I really should go and find some catchy music to listen to for an extended period of time.
Li Xua Xua!
Brenda

Hey, these aren't stupid McDonalds customer stories, they're stupid Cook's Corner customer stories:
Ok, here's the deal: we were having our pre-inventory sale, and there was an ad placed in the paper pointing out some specials, and then it said, "selected items up to 75% off." Ok, that's plain English, isn't it? Well, apparently not. One lady came in yesterday, and after I said "hi" she said, "Oh, so everything in the store is 75% off?" Uh, NO!
And this one was on the phone, but if she would've been close to me, I would've slapped her, HARD. She calls up and was wondering about a pan that she wanted shipped to her. Well, I told her to call back Saturday, between 9 and 5, and the shipping department would be happy to help her. Well, no. She had some questions that had to be answered that night (thurs). Ok. After about 5 minutes of describing this 10.5 inch frying pan to her, all of a sudden she tells me that she noticed the 12 inch frying pan in her catalog, and was wondering which one had the largest cooking surface, the 10.5 inch or the 12 inch. Um...DUH!!!!!!!! What a weirdo.
You have to tell me where your homepage is so I can go see it! Maybe I'll have some McD's stories after work tomorrow, we'll see...
Brenda
