Story time about working at a horrible small town resteraunt and a man called Wild Bill.

Important notes: I started working there in 2022, right as mask mandates began to lift. For those unfamiliar with me, I am audhd.

At first, everything was fine. I mean, sure, they hired me and sort of dropped me into working, but I was just a cashier.

I checked people out, got desserts from the glass case, and I cleaned the dining room.

Seems pretty easy for the first month or so. I mean, once I got my hard work done I could even sit in a chair the older cashier brought up for morning shift to rest my bad hip!

Well, that didn't last long. First, the chair was removed. And then, when the boss realized I was doing my job efficiently, my list began to expand. Not only did I need to clean, I had to restock the pastry case every night. And then I had to clean outside, the glass, maybe even restock the fridge. You know, even though I'm the only casheir and the back kitchen has 15 perfectly able kids who are standing around on their phones.

Well, and then i found the *real* catch of the job. Billy. Or Bill, or Wild Bill. Billy was my one joy in that damned place. Also my biggest task.

Billy English (yes, his real name) is a 63 year old man who has been pretty much a town case since his young teen years. Billy was raised by a deranged man. I could go into more details, but the important part is that he is incredibly mentally handicapped. Most likely, it has some form of dementia on top of his pre-existing mental issues.

This never stopped me from loving Bill. He has a genuine, gentle spirit that is rare and often crushed out by bad actors. The thing was, Billy couldn't remember the bad long enough for it to get him down.

I remember the first time I cussed out someone for being mean to Bill. He started calling me Mom after that. Here are some of my fondest Billy memories.

-Dr. Pepper is owned by Doctor Phil and Doctor Phil is his father and also God.

-Billy is being hired by Action News, and he won't be able to work next week because he is replacing the weather man. (This is from when they really did interview him some odd 10 years ago)

-Billy can "talk" to the helicopters when they go by and often directs traffic. He has, on multiple occasions, appeared on scenes of accidents before emts and saved several people's lives.

-Billy really loves the fake Mocha in the Starbucks coffee glass cups, but as long as it's chocolate and in the glass he will drink it. This is how I stopped him from buying 8 of them and drinking so much caffeine. I just cleaned and filled an empty one with hot chocolate.

-Billy wants to help. Dear God does he want to help. I often let him wipe down the counters outside for this reason.

-billy eats primarily egg salad. I would sneak power shakes into his meals to keep him healthy.

-billy has super strength and is the most fit old man you'll ever meet. He bikes 7 miles into town and back every day. I usually gave him rides on my way home from work. I still give him rides in the morning on occasion.

-everyone leaves money for Billy. You have to stop him from spending it all or he will be broke in a day because he forgets what he buys.

-on good days, Billy will tell you just about anything. Those are the days he is just Mr. Bill. Mr. Bill knows a lot about everything and will tell you stories about important local events no one else remembers with incredible accuracy. He also knew my grandpa go figure.

-billy loves root beer pops and vanilla ice cream. During the summer, he'd wear his winter coat still, so I had to go make sure he took it off.

-He is never ungrateful, but be warned you will get hugged. A lot. He is very cuddly.

-i literally almost got sued for defamation by his caretaker before I got her to sign rights of him over to his niece. Said caretaker was refusing to do her job and keeping his government money. She also was charging him rent to live in a shifty falling apart trailer with no heat that she literally signed from his name over to hers. He's doing much better now that bitch is gone. She still harasses me. She stole his drugs from when a car hit him.

Here is a photo of my friend.
