So tonight at work someone ordered food after a long rush, and his total came (haha, came, haha) to $11.44, so I went to the drive thru window to collect the money. He took forever digging his money out of his pocket, and when he handed it to me, it was all wadded up and sticks. Ew. But he handed me the wrong amount, so I gave him the total again, and again he dug in his pants, and I thought, "Good Lord this is taking forever." The whole time he was muttering somewhat incoherently, and when he finally handed me the right amount, he was smiling and he said "You're gonna hate me." He dropped the money in my hands, and it stuck there. Then he said "That shit is sticky, ain't it?" That's when I took in the whole picture in his truck and it hit me.
He was jerking off into his hand and giving me the money.
So being the responsible individual that I am, I grabbed his food as quickly as I could, handed it out, peeled the money off my hands, threw it on the counter, and then RAN to where the manager and other worker were and did the gross-out dance and said "That is the most DISGUSTING thing anyone has ever done in my drive thru." I told them the story and they were both grossed out, and the manager took me aside and had a serious talk with me. He said if anyone ever did anything like that again, I should come get him and he'd take care of it, I shouldn't have to deal with that. I love testisterone sometimes.
So anyway, all day as other people came (ha ha, came) in to work we told them the story, and they all did their own variations of the gross out dance. Steve (manager) peeled the money off the counter, put it in an envelope in my register, a nd he and the other manager discusses what to do about it. After some deliberation, they decided (I shit you not) to refund the guy's order and THROW THE MONEY AWAY IN THE TRASH because that was too disgusting.
Ok...seriously. Yeah, semen, ew, gross, semen from someone you don't know, nasty. But why in God's name would you THOROW AWAY almost TWELVE DOLLARS? Bodily fluids wash off.
So after they did this, I asked if I could take the money, and they all acted like I was a leper, so I went home, washed the money, and now I'm the proud owner of eleven dollars and forty-four (slightly damp) cents.
So the question of the day is...was I out of line taking the money? I mean, yeah, it's kinda gross, but why would you THROW money away? Double you tee eff? How many starving children un Uganda could use eleven dollars and forty-four slightly damp cents?
