Did she blow her nose directly into her hand without a kleenex? If not, what's the big deal? Nothing from her nose touched her hand.

It sounds like you're just a control freak who likes to boss people around.

Kleenex aren't liquid-proof, nor are they 100% germ-suctioning.

I seriously doubt she blew enough snot into the napkin that it soaked through to her hand. There's some amount of germs on everything, that's what we have immune systems for. If you start to worry about it then you become one of those people who's afraid to touch doorknobs and washes their hands a hundred times a day.

Just think of all that dirty money and change they touch constantly. That has just as much germs as a used kleenex.

It was a paper towel. General rule of BK is that if you blow your nose, cough, sneeze, etc. you absolutely must wash your hands.

Ok. But why do you care about Burger King's rules?

How much are they paying you, like 7 dollars an hour? They're exploiting you. If I were you I wouldn't care about Burger King.

Maybe you should do some introspection and figure out why you feel a need to control other people.

From a customer's perspective I wouldn't appreciate someone who had just blown their nose without washing their hands passing out my food. O_o;;

Introspection? I'm just trying to help her out before the managers or customers find something to yell at her about. O_o;;

Would you appreciate someone who had just handled dirty change passing out your food then?

So, according you you're bossing this girl around because you have her best interests at heart. That's not why you're doing it and you know it. I challenge you to really examine yourself and get to the root of your need to control others.

I guarantee you this girl would have no problems and you don't need to intervene. The customers wouldn't yell at her nor would the managers. And if you really think they would, then let it happen. It's not your place, just concentrate on doing drive thru and leave this poor girl alone.

Why do you care so much? Rules are rules; when you get paid to do a job, you obey the rules that come with it. What part of that is difficult for you to grasp?

The part where people being paid 7 dollars an hour are really into helping a company that's paying them shit.

You're coming across as kind of anal retentive. People aren't robots and it's not healthy to follow rules without any discretion. That's what I think, but just for the sake of argument lets go by your view:

Part of the rules are everyone does their assigned job. It's skyechan's job to do drive thru. It's the managers job to boss people around.

If skyechan stops focusing on her assigned job in drive thru to attempt jobs that are assigned to someone else (the manager) and which she hasn't been trained for, then she is breaking the rules. Therefore you need to address your question towards her.

And how do you think raises come about, mmm?

AHAHAHAHAHA oh, you're just precious, aren't you? Take a look in the mirror, mate.

People aren't robots and it's not healthy to follow rules without any discretion.

Hi, can you say, "Health Code Violation"? I knew you could. Jesus Christ, it isn't like the rules command that she must kill the unbelievers.

...my God, you're actually serious, aren't you.

Lol. Because once you get that 15 cent an hour raise all that hard work and extra effort you put in will be worth it!

Let me tell you a story. I had a friend who worked at the same fast food place all throughout high school and some college. He got several of those little raises over the years, and it got to the point where he was getting like $2 an hour more than what people in his position would normally get. (I know you're going to be like "see those little raises add up! But keep in mind he worked there for a little over 6 years. I doubt skyechan intends to work at Burger King that long)

Anyway, eventually the District Manager started putting a lot of pressure on the Store Manager over how much they were spending on payroll. So one of the things they did was fire my friend and replace him with a new person they could pay the normal salary to. So that's your lesson for today, work really hard at your fast food job and you'll get fired.

What does that idiotic community have to do with the logical points I made? What does that have to do with any of what we're talking about?

You started the argument with me. Yet, when I refuted your argument you have no answer except to try and change the subject and post this childish image macro. So I won. You can insult me all you want, the fact remains that you couldn't win an argument using logic.

dark_puck June 13 2007, 05:17:19 UTC
And what logic, precisely, are you using? Because it sure as fuck isn't Earth Logic.

Yet I'm the one making rational points and all you're doing is using image macros and bringing up stupid_free. Seems like if you saw a flaw in my logic you would have said it instead of trying to change the subject.

But I understand, you want to have something to post to stupid_free about so you can get lots of comments! It doesn't really matter if what the person said is, in fact, stupid. If you just proclaim it to be stupid loud enough and use lots of image macros people will agree with you and you can have a full inbox!
