Profiling the Creeps as Someone Who Works in the Service Industry
Basically, as someone who (unfortunately) has been cursed with a job in fast food, here are some things I think the creeps would do. Some of these things piss me off, some are just habits - not good, not bad.
Brian
Pulls through the drive-thru and asks for "his usual".
Always pays in exact change.
Always asks for fresh (insert item with long fry time). He will wait. No, he won't pull around.
Will always do those little surveys on the receipt.
Tim
Has tipped with a cigarette on more than one occasion.
"That'll do me."
"I remember when these were 97 cents!"
The card reader is beeping and he doesn't know where he is.
Toby
Tries to redeem a coupon that expired ten years ago.
Wants to use tap to pay but his car is way too far and he won't help reach the card reader so you just pull that cord as far as you can and hope for the best.
Will ask you what comes in each item in detail just to get the most basic item on the menu.
Paid in 15 counterfeit 1-dollar bills.
Jeff
"Hi, how are you?"
"Give me a number 8."
Asshole.
He wants to leave as much as you want him to.
Does not utter a word at the drive-thru window.
Jack
Refuses to get a drink with ice because mold, unless it's a cafe he can trust.
Orders enough food to send the entire kitchen into a panic.
The type of person to ask for 10 add-shots in their latte.
Insert chain-related joke you've heard eight times today.
Liu
Prefers to sit in the lobby rather than going through drive-thru.
Cannot figure out how to use the kiosk, but he's trying so hard :(.
Always uses his pleases and thank you's because he's a good man.
Demands a receipt.
Nina
Calls you babe the entire time.
Is talking on her phone and no, she won't hang up.
Thinks all coffee shops are like Starbucks and will ask you for an iced caramel macchiato or a Frappuccino.
Just doesn't understand coffee drinks in general, but if you can figure out her taste/order she will tip heavily.
Jane
Way too stressed to be here and not really listening.
Forgets to take that thing she hates off of her food but is too embarrassed to say anything about it.
Pulls her car into the parking lot and eats there because she can't trust herself to eat and drive.
Always asks for way too many extra sauce packets.
Ben
"I'll take a large diet."
"Alright a diet Pepsi :)"
"No, coke"
:(
Takes all of your napkins.
