Confessions of a.....

McDonalds in general is crazy.
There’s tons of policy’s to follow, lots of cleaning to be done, and that’s just on a slow day.
Then you pile on having several bus’ full of crazy teenagers, and us being shorthanded and you’ve got a crazy day.
Following policy isn’t that hard, what’s hard is getting other people to follow it.
Cleaning isn’t that hard, the hard part is getting other people to clean too.
Because when they don’t clean, you get stuck doing it all.
When they don’t follow policy? You get yelled at while they just sit back and smoke their cigarettes.
I don’t smoke-have I mentioned that before?-so I never get a smoke break.
I don’t know, life is crazy.
Work is crazy.
Customers are crazy(I mean legitly crazy, will explain that one later on.)
And yeah….I don’t know what else to say right now.

So today, since I haven’t been on here in a few days, I’m gonna fill your head with useless facts and confessions about little ol’ me.
I’m eighteen, I’m engaged, back before I started working at McDonalds, my family and I, would travel….A lot.
I use to absolutely hate my job, but we got this new store manager a few months back….now I pretty much love it again.
There’s this storemanager/superviser from another store that’s owned by the same guy who owns the one I work at, who I absolutely cannot stand. She is a complete and utter bitch.
And yeah….She might be there again today….hopefully I can hold my tongue and resist saying all the things I long to hiss at her.


So I must cut this post short, as I’ve got to get ready to go to work.


XOXO,

Which is quite common for me, so I don’t usually bitch about it.
Especially since I’ve pulled 12 & 13 hour shifts before.
But the other day, I heard one of my new co-workers bitching because she’d pulled an eleven hour shift a couple of days ago, and how she thought it was so “unfair” to have to pull a shift like that only making $7.50 an hour.
I paused a moment before I turned to look at her(I’d been in the middle of cleaning the OJ machine) and responded with a “I feel no sympathy for you, I pull shifts like that all the time. Hell, I’ve pulled 13 hour shifts before.”
“Yeah, but you’re a manager, I’m just a crew.”
“Actually, I’m a crew chief, and at the time when I pulled a 13 hour shift? I was a crew member, making minimum wage which was 7 bucks at the time. Like I said, no sympathy.”

I at least make more now, so pulling the longer shifts(especially if it means getting over time) bothers me less.
But back when I was 16, and just starting out at McDonalds making the minimum wage of 7 bucks an hour? Oh god, I hated it. Absolutely hated it. I’d literally come home, sit down on the couch and be fast asleep in no time because I was just that exhausted. The paychecks weren’t always bad, but sometimes I’d look at my paychecks and be like “What the fuck. It wasn’t even worth it!”


Anyway, I better go get ready for work.
They’ll kill me if I’m late.
Especially since I’m never late.

You know, when you go to McDonalds and you hear that happy go lucky female voice that says “Thank you for choosing McDonalds, how can I help you today?”
That’s me.
Yup, totally me.
I’ve been working at McDonalds for over two years.
I’ve seen the good customers, the bad customers and those really, really, really bad customers who I want to hit up side the head with a frying pan….yeah, I’ve delt with TONS of those.
I’ve worked all the shifts.(I.E. Morning Shift, Mid-(or night) shift) and the overnight shift) I can tell you exactly whats beeping the moment it goes off.
I can tell you how to build a bigmac in my sleep.
Point is, this is me, this is my blog.
I’m not always the drive-thru girl.
But most of the time, I am.
So join me as I venture back into the past to reveal true stories.
And continue into the future with confessions that may surprise you.
Just bare in mind, I’m a daughter, a finacee, a friend. My life is crazy, chaotic in every sense of the word.

I wish you luck as you join me on this journey, for it shall be a long one.
