So...I got the job at A&W. I thought it would be easy. It's hell. Why do they make the cash register so damn confusing I'll never know. I went through 3 interviews with 5 different people to get this job and two days after I start working I want out. The only good thing about it is that the people I work with are really nice. Customers can be so mean, and weird.
There was an old guy that wanted me to turn down the music, and another guy that wanted me to call him a cab. There was one older guy that wanted to order him as many baby burgers he could get for 8 dollars, and I cashed it through and his debit was declined so I had to do the order again, but this time he wanted his total to come to be exactly 6.83 and he wanted to give me a dollar tip from the debit machine or something like that, and he gave me the change from his pocket which was like 14 cents in pennies, I'm like... thanks? That's gonna help me pay rent. Then after the order was made and I was going to give him his burgers, he says he wants pickles on one. All this took up about 15 minutes and there was a huge lineup behind him. This one guy got mad at me because I gave him salad and fries, and I guess he just wanted the salad. He's like "that's the FIRST thing I told you!" and his son was laughing at me. There was a lady that got mad at me because I put orange juice on her tray instead of orange pop. She just said orange, she never said pop. I also asked an old guy with a hearing aid if he wanted his receipt, and he said "what?", I must have repeated it 4 times, pointing at the receipt, being louder each time, the last time I said it I was pretty much screaming and people who were eating looked at me. He went to my manager and he's like "we seem to be having a problem here, I cant understand what this girl is telling me". My manager is like "she is asking you if you want your receipt" in a normal tone of voice and the old guy said "no thanks". I went to the bathroom to cry twice yesterday. I suck at everything there, I always do something wrong when I take orders. The people I work with and my manager said that I'm doing fine and everybody makes mistakes at first, but I still feel horrible.
I have to go to work again in 6 hours, I don't want to go. I'm so scared.
