While being home for break this week and picking up hours at work, I remember what it is like to in fast food. Although there are many aspects to the job, the customers are always number one priority. Anyone who works in fast food knows that you come across these types of customers AT LEAST once a day:

The slow customer

These are the customers that take ten years to decide what they want to eat. Then once they are ready to order, it takes another five for them to tell you what they want. Does it look like I have all day?

The speedy customer

Then there's the opposite. The customer who goes 100 MPH and you just try to enter everything into the register but end up staring at them like an idiot. And they usually find their sense of attitude when you ask them to repeat themselves.

The customer with the loud car

This one pertains to drive through. You can hear them screaming over the engine, but you can't actually hear what they're saying... And what do they do after you tell them it's hard to hear over the engine? Yell louder...

The customer with the munchies

Those people who come in 10 minutes before close and order the most random things. Nothing they order is in a good order and they make the job much more difficult.

The rude customer

Probably my least favorite. The customer that is extremely rude and has no concept of manners. Although it is my job, it would still be nice to have some human decency.

The "regular customer"

These are the customers who come in on a regular basis and just make your shift easier to get through all around. They know what they want and they know how to order it. They usually know your name, and you actually look forward to seeing them.

The know-it-all customer

The one who asks for their cup before you get a chance to breathe. They constantly try reminding you how to do your job. It takes all the power in the world to not tell them to come do it themselves.

The funny customer

The customer that is constantly making jokes and you just laugh along to be polite, but in reality it's insanely awkward.

The creepy customer

Some customers are old men and try asking for phone numbers... my response has always been i'm under 18.. even if it's not true anymore, it works.

The HELLO customer

The customer that comes through drive through screaming "HELLO?! ARE YOU THERE?!" Yes. I am here... but no I can no longer hear, thank you.

Right-at-home customer

They come in and sit in the lobby for at least two hours, sometimes more, and just read or play on their phones. I guess we all need some "me time", but let's not do it while I'm trying to close the lobby...

The inquisitive customer

The one who asks what comes on almost every sandwich on the menu, then orders a plain burger or classic sandwich... What was the point? Honestly.

The coupon customer

When you realize it's a new coupon and you have to do the math yourself.

The perfect customer

The customer that knows exactly what they want, orders it in chronological order, AND knows how to use their manners. It's a rare occurrence, but boy do they know how to turn a day around.

So the next time you're in a fast food restaurant, try to be customer #14, people don't realize that without somebody behind the counter, you wouldn't be getting the food.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
