Assorted randomness...
So...work is sucking these days. We had ice cream issues today...S cleaned the machines with this milkstone remover stuff (milkstone tends to build up in softserve machines)...and now the ice cream tastes sour. Most people didn't seem to notice it, but we got several complaints, so we had to clean one of the machines, and the other will have to get cleaned tomorrow.
Grr.
Also...customers suck. Not all of them. Just the ones who have NO clue how to order what they want...or sometimes not even a clue what they actually want. The people who spend a minute and a half in the drive thru, only to decide that they don't want anything we serve...yeah, they piss me off. Also the people who don't bother to ask if we accept credit cards (answer: no), and they order $20 worth of ice cream (made to order, will be unservable in less than 15 minutes...10 if it's really hot), and they don't have any cash, and they never come back. So...bam. $20 in potential sales down the drain. Prime example of a difficult customer: crazy old lady who never should have been allowed out of the nursing home taking about three minutes (with six people behind her and no other registers open) to order: one hot dog and a small drink. The ordering was interspersed with a great deal of whining and gesturing and irrelevant conversation with me and the people in line and (I'm guessing) the world in general. She got mad at me for asking if it was for here or to go, and then she got mad cause we hadn't cut the footlong hot dog in half for her (all she had to do was ask...).
I have a cream cheese craving. That is somewhat strange.
I want something to eat, but I don't have a lot of money, and I don't want to keep spending what little I have on eating out. Grr.
Gas prices? Not cool. Not cool at all.
In other Hannah news...I donated to the Red Cross's hurricane relief fund. I felt bad for not watching the news or really knowing what's going on. I also feel bad for not going to church in so long...but working yesterday and next Sunday was really out of my hands. I need the hours.
Grr.
