And two free meals.
And an early break.
And I pretty much stood around doing nothing all day because I was training this girl.
Training her!
She was my minion all day. I got to stand there and watch her do my work.
Bahahaha.
I've been here a month and I'm already training. This made my entire day.
Story number one: The check.
Today I was scheduled to work from 5-9 pm. I walked into Courtney's office at 3:30 and said
"Hey Courtney, can I pick up my check? I want to go run a couple of errands before I come in for work."
Him: "Sure..." (starts thumbing through the papers on his messy desk) "ummm... It looks like my dad didn't bring in the checks today... I'm sorry, what did you need to go do?"
Me: "Ih... I was just gonna run to Starbucks I guess."
Him: "Did you need your check to do that?"
Me: "...well... yeah kinda."
So he leads me to the register, opens it, and pulls out a twenty. He hands it to me and walks off.
He comes back and tells me that I can start my shift at four instead of five, if I wanted. I was like, hails yeah, another eight bucks? I'm all over that.
Have I mentioned that I love getting paid every Monday?
Story number two: The raise.
So I walked across the street to Starbucks, purchased my grande-caramel-frappuccino-with-extra-caramel and loaded $13.68 onto my card (because my grande-caramel-frappuccino-with-extra-caramel costs $4.56 and I was allotting myself three drinks this week). I came back into work, clocked in, taught the new girl (Ashley) some of the ropes and decided I was just gonna take it easy today. Clair (Alex and Courtney's dad, also known as Boss) came around the corner and said
"Hi Alexa! Guess what? I'm bumping you up next week."
Me: "...I'm sorry, 'bumping me up?'"
Clair: "Yep! I'm giving you a raise. So next week your paycheck will reflect that you're being paid $8.50 and hour, instead of just eight." (he beams.)
Disneyworld can suck it.
make it raaaaain on them hoes
Story number three: Free food and an early break.
Columba (one of our darling Mexican co-workers, bless her heart, she can't speak English to save her life) took a call-in order for a woman named Kelly. We prepared the two salads and the extra dressing with a quesadilla meal for her to come pick up. When Kelly arrived, she said she'd never ordered the quesadilla meal. So I rung her up for the two salads and the extra dressing and told Clair that if he didn't want to waste the food, I'd buy it for my lunch break. He told me I could just have it, free of charge.
Later on, he told me I should take my break (at 5:30) so that the quesadilla meal didn't burn to a crisp in the "warmer."
I was also working with this really incompetent Mexican guy named Jairo who kept screwing up orders. A girl brought back her burrito because she "didn't like beans and chicken" and only wanted a rice burrito. (...really?) She had only cut into the burrito, otherwise it was untouched. Courtney deemed it to be up-for-grabs and no one claimed it.
That was my dinner.
