Mickey D's

I got to McDonalds right at 3:55pm. I quickly put up my stuff in the office and changed into my work clothes. I ran to the register, letting the person before my shift leave.

"Wow, finally on time for once."

"Right? Absolutely unbelievable."

The girl next to me laughed and leaned on the wall next to her. Running was worth it because it was a busy day. All of the high schoolers just got out and McDonalds is easy on the money and tastes amazing. I also get paid ever so slightly better with the tip jar.

"Hey Baker! We need an extra hand back here!"

A voice called from the drive through window. The girl who was previously there had a family emergency so I had to cover her spot and still help in mine.

"Hi welcome to McDonalds. May I have you order?"

"Hi. I could I get 5 10 piece meals with two Dr peppers, two Sprites, and a sweet tea to drink?"

"Yup. Anything else?"

"That'll be it."

"First window your total is $35.99 have a great day."

I shut off the mic for a second to breathe. Everyone was running around left and right. Orders here, orders there, there was going to be no break until 5pm.

"Hey Robbins, could you get the window real quick? I'm being dragged back to the register."

Robbins nodded, switching spots with me. I ran to the register again, taking more orders. It was very faint, but the sound of the phone ringing could be heard.

"Hey Will, could you get the phone in the office?"

I nodded and ran from the register to the office. I picked up our work phone and answered politely.

"Hey it's Willow. Deana can't answer right now but I'll make sure to get the message to her."

"𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚘𝚠."

"Yeah... Who's this?"

"𝚆𝚑𝚘 𝚍𝚘 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚠𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚒𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚋𝚎?"

"Look, I'm in the middle of my job. I can't fuck around right now."

"𝙸'𝚖 𝚜𝚘𝚛𝚛𝚢, 𝙸 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝙸 𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚠𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚗𝚞𝚖𝚋𝚎𝚛."

"Okay, well, bye now."

"𝙳𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚑𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝚞𝚙 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚙𝚑𝚘𝚗𝚎."

"Well, I have a job to get through for the next 5 hours so unless you want to place an order, I'm hanging up."

"𝙰𝚕𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝, 𝙸'𝚍 𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚎 𝚊𝚗 𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚛."
