Here's what happens when you put the only three students in a restaurant together when working...
Ways to Attain One’s P45:
The Unofficial Employee’s Guide to (very) Short-Term Employment
1) Promote healthy living, and cycle into work. Through front doors, the foyer, the restaurant… only dismount once in kitchen area (preferably with skid marks).
2) Turn up to work in a dobok (or wearing a katana). Refuse to change.
3) Announce that you need the afternoon off work to further your plans for World Domination. Mean it.
4) Blame all mistakes on Supervisor/ Imaginary friend. (Bob the Invincible, Archibald the Scone, Sir Percival Squidsbody…)
5) Cover ears and hum loudly whenever customer tries to speak to you.
6) Give all fellow workers and supervisors nicknames; use to faces.
7) Shout ‘Beam me up, Scotty!’ at every opportunity.
8) Refuse to let customers pay until they’ve told you The Password and performed the Secret Handshake. Pronounce capitals when saying this.
9) Walk behind the manager, spraying everything they touch with D2 (or a mix of D2 and D10, if preferred).
10) Juggle the bottles in the bottle bar, and insist this is ‘customer entertainment’.
11) Talk only through Mr Salt and Mrs Pepper.
12) Refuse to let customers have ‘That scone/cake’, and insist it is ‘for display purposes only’.
13) When reprimanded for not filling up the cake cabinet, explain that the boxes and shelves full of food in the kitchen are purely decorative.
14) Collect - and name - scones, threatening to set your ‘Army’ on anyone who tells you what to do, accusing random individuals of being ‘Ladies wot Lunch’.
15) Come into work with a drawn on moustache, and insist that when you woke up this morning, it had magically appeared. And yes, purple is your natural colour.
16) Take over the children’s climbing frame; spray D2 at any children who try to play on it.
17) Forget to put your handbrake on when parking your car, and let it roll into the nearest Mercedes/ BMW/ ridiculously expensive car. Then sue owner for damages
18) Rob a bank - in full Dobbies uniform, leaving your calling card and full confession on headed notepaper.
