I LOVE MY JOB!
Posted 14 years agowell.... here it is another rant about taco hell...
Not necessarily a rant....
I honestly dunno what this is....
There is something wrong with doing about 800$+ in two hours
800$+ Because of one large group....
large as in there was barely standing room in the dining room
You see, a regular customer of our store passed away recently. His last meal was eaten at taco bell... His family celebrated his memory by coming to my store after the funeral.
Which is awesome, great and all that.... except I am the one doing back up and our ADHD cashier is up front and trying to tell really bad jokes.
At this point we have a line to the door, I am given a register and taking orders.... as well as having to run to the back to make food and fry..... I never want to have to fry that many god damned empanadas ever again...
*twitches* the bright side is.... they tipped.... and tipped well and we normally dun get tips...
I go curl up now adieu

Musings.... and taco bell
Posted 15 years agoEmployee Edition
So I am sure you all remember I work at taco hell erm pardon taco bell. I have been promoted to an actual Trainer position which means I have 3 innocent souls in my charge. They are by no means innocent, Yes they are young; the oldest is 18 the others are 17 and 16. My charges those delightful little angels that try so hard to convince me that they are good girls and have never done anything wrong (It's funny really) I do my best to keep them on a good path and keep in mind that this may be their first job but it certainly wouldn't be their last and try to instill in them good work ethics.
I may have mentioned before that I do not work with smart people, and I must clarify that... A lot.
The other night I had to explain to a 19 year old college student (not my trainee thankfully) what circumcision was even going as far as using a glove to show her and also explain what foreskin is. Yes... I had to do that... I wanted to face-palm so many times during that conversation. How do you live that long and not know what this stuff is? She has a boyfriend... we all know they are like rampant little bunnies outside of school and work... Anyways the 19yo also told me that she was a good catholic because she and her boyfriend don't have sex on Sundays cause that's Gods day... again face palm though at this point it was becoming face + wall.
Anyways to continue with the cast of characters we have that I work with on a fairly regular basis or have had the misfortune to work with:
We have the GM; who... I think is going to quit soon, the assistant manager who I think is replacing said GM soon he is also the one I lovingly refer to as cuntwaffle and is my favorite to work with. Three shift leaders (This is the position above mine) One of which can't work nights because it stresses her . one tried to hire the more husky men to try and get into their pants or he's on his smart-phone surfing gay adult personals. The last... is the one who calls himself 'Mr. Nice guy' this is the same person that while I was in training and asked for his assistance with a trainee I wasn't even supposed to have told me to stop acting childish and to solve my own problems. Anyways.... I digress.
I had the misfortune to work with one lil smart ass (and not in a good way) one Sunday. this young man is cocky and short tempered but has the job because his dad goes golfing with one of the owners. I shit you not. He flat out refuses to clean or help with the dishes because it's a woman's job...
One cashier... he tries he really and honestly does but he has the attention span of a butterfly in spring and is socially lacking... he is near 22 has never done anything wrong... ever. This is his first job. He is a little too social with the customers and tries to talk to them, clean around them or under them while they are eating... and he has no clue as to when to simply stop. I am not a patient person by nature I am really not... he is an exception... though it is trying.
The above mentioned 18yo that is my trainee, her boyfriend also works at my store. A mistake in my opinion. He tries to be an alpha male... but when I can stare him down... short little old me can stare him down... then he's not really an alpha now is he? Well She the 18yo is smarter then she lets on. And every time I have the misfortune to work with her boyfriend I think "Why is she with him? He's a leech..." She and I don't work together as often as I would like to as she has always been respectful if a bit of a smart ass. She's a strong woman in certain situations and could be a lot more so.. a lady after my own heart.
Well I thought it a good idea to try and bring some culture and a little more education into their lives. A fools task I suppose. We started the week with me trying to explain Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise... that went down the tube... So then I tried to explain Schrodinger's Cat.... again down the tube... Last night it was and get this Occam's Razor... And even with pictures.... 99% of the people I work with have no clue what I am talking about.... WITH PICTURES! *scowls... slams head into desk* There is an exception to this... a light in all this darkness. The 18yo the smart one...My pride and joy of trainees... She understands the basics of Occam's razor... She wants to know more... as much as I can tell her or if possible from the books I own.
I am making this a long journal I know but I wanted to give a cleared picture of those I work with what I deal with and why I find little humor in it sometimes.

Rules to live by...Taco Bell edition
Posted 16 years agoWhat NOT TO DO at taco bell... well the Taco Hell I work at anyways.
DO NOT ask about your cashiers nationality. It will piss her off.
DO NOT hand religious pamphlets to your cashier. It will make her laugh at you.
DO NOT order 15 tacos and an extra large diet soda... Your soda will not contain pure diet soda odds are it will have the regular version of the soda mixed in as well. Eating 15 tacos and drinking diet soda doesn't mean you even out the calories and such.
DO NOT pay for an item that costs $1.49 with a $100 dollar bill... Your cashier will not have change for it. It's a matter of principal too.. We're a restaurant not a bank.
DO NOT park 4 feet away from the handout window. The employee will have to crawl into the window to get your food to you. Same goes for not even attempting to reach for your bag.
DO NOT leave your little patch of the dining room a disgusting little mess. You have kids? be a good example; Pick up your damned mess and your kids 'let's smear a bean burrito across the table and windows cause mommy thinks that my finger painting is the best' mess too.
On the other hand there are a few things that will make your cashier smile... And a happy cashier means that your order will get to you in a timely manner.
PLEASE Smile and say 'Hello' or similar when your cashier greets you, Your cashier works hard to maintain that sugary sweet smile throughout the day.
PLEASE just be a pleasant person to your cashier. The people working the line can hear you making an dick of yourself... I hope you like Jalapenos....
PLEASE know what you are ordering... i.e. When you order a chalupa... your cashier does not want to go through the litany of the nine types of chalupa taco bell has... it gets old. Also please make sure you enunciate... Your cashier will get frustrated having to ask multiple times what you requested.
PLEASE ask intelligent questions. Don't ask "Are there beans on a bean burrito?" You are stupid if you do.
PLEASE do not panic if you are short 3 cents... Your cashier is not gonna sweat it.
PLEASE understand that Paramedics, Firefighters, Police officers and Nurses will most likely get a drink upgrade from your cashier. Let's face it these people work hard to save your ass you be nice to them they will be nice to you, within reason.
In short, you be civil to your cashier, your cashier will be civil and most likely pleasant to you...
