I work in a deli and I'm not sure if this falls under fast food or retail.. but.. i'm gonna go with fast food, if that's okay.

For those of you that don't know, all lunchmeat is pressed together. All of it. It dosen't come off a turkey or a pig or a chicken looking like that weird shape you see in our case. It simply doesn't.

Krakus Polish Ham is the second worst thing you could get if you're getting lunch meat. At least, in our meat case. It's steamed ham. Vacuumed sealed. With a smidge of some kind of weird water/ham juice/unknown grossness.

So, this customer comes up to the case and proceeds to order a half pound of the reduced sodium Krakus. Fantastic. I slice it for her, she's happy. Then, when i ask if she'd like anything else she mumbles something about how she's looking for a turkey. We have a large selection of turkey breasts. In an effort to be helpful, I mention we started carrying a new oven roasted turkey breast that's low sodium if she's trying to watch her salt intake (as evidenced by the ham).

She looks up at me, and this happens: Lady(grumpy): But, it it heavily processed? I don't want anything that's heavily processed. Me: Well, everything in our case is processed. That's just the nature of lunchmeat, ma'am. But, it is made of turkey breast. Lady(pissed): Then no. That's gross. *starts walking away* Me: Oh I'm sorry, have a good da- Lady(stopping abruptly, rasing her voice slightly): Wait a damn minute! I want cheese too! Me: Oh! I'm sorry! What would you like? Lady: Half a pound of yellow american cheese!

Our yellow american says "Made of Cheese Product"

*headdesk*

NOTHING HAS EVER RESONATED WITH ME MORE

[fuckyeahfastfoodfeline]

When I worked in fast food I would constantly have dreams about it, filling orders, prepping food, counting sauce packets, always running out of time and managers yelling at me. I would hear the beeping and dinging when I was at home, actually legit hear it. Whenever anything else would beep I would immediately put my hand to my ear as if to turn my headset on. I would go to other fast food places and have to resist the urge to clean and welcome people. That shit stays with you.

It really does

Do not stay in a retail store or restaurant past closing time. I mean unless you’re just finishing up paying and it’s like 5 mins after. It’s rude. I know the people who work there say, “oh no it’s ok”. They’re lying. It’s not ok they just have to say that.

yo like old people give our generation so much shit for being rude and disrespectful but

in my 5 years of working at a fast food restaurant

i have never once, not ONCE, been abused or spoken rudely to for any reason by a young person.

You know who yells at me when the restaurant is busy and their order takes a little longer? When there’s a mistake with their food? Asshole middle aged people.

You know who smiles and says it’s ok? Teenagers and little kids.

People who come through drive thru a few minutes before close just to buy their dog a meat patty or a burger and proceed to tell you its for their dog Can you not

[fuckyeahfastfoodfeline]

When I worked at burger king an old lady got mad at me because a small drink was $2. So she threw the money at me but still proceeded to buy the drink. Worse part, she was in drive thru so I had to go outside and pick up all the money that fell.

is it legal to schedule someone so they'll get 5 hrs sleep at most between shifts :/

I think so unfortunately, but I may be wrong!

how to make your cashier's day easier

have your wallet ready while waiting in line

take off your headphones (if you’re wearing them)

hand your cash/card directly to the cashier (please don’t just drop it on the counter!!!!)

be polite!!! please and thank you is more than enough

don’t yell at or harass the cashier for things they can’t control!!

just be a decent human being???

I've learned to hate the word "upgrade." No, you can't upgrade your pop to a milkshake. No, you cant upgrade your plain fries to chili cheese fries.

For two years I have been the order taker at a fast food restaurant I'm responsible for the speaker box and first window but we have to get the customers through each point I'm 45 seconds and people always say "just one minute" or they sit then and say "there is no one behind me so I'm taking my time" or they sit at my window on their phone. I constantly get yelled at when people take long bc it's my job to get them through in that time

[fuckyeahfastfoodfeline]

I absolutely hate when customers ask for something that doesn't go with company policy and I say "no sorry I can't do that" and they pull the famous "last time I came here" and I just flat out say, well I can't do it, it's policy And of course they pull the "I want to speak to your manager" and the manager just let's them have it and so they always come back and do the exact same thing, it makes me so damn angry.
