"Order up! Grilled cheese with sweet potato fries."
Another busy Friday afternoon in July and I have been at work since 9 a.m. working a double shift. This is nothing knew though, as I am constantly working doubles so I can save up enough money to buy a car. This is me, my life and I don't see it changing anytime soon.
"Order up! Grilled cheese with sweet potato fries."
"Jesus lady I'm coming. Calm down."
"Well next time move a little faster when I call your order."
I look to my left and I see my coworker Sasha handing a tray of food over to a tall blonde haired man with tanned skin and sea blue eyes. Sasha rolls her eyes and smacks his hand away as he tries to grab hers.
"Will I be seeing you later on tonight?" The blonde haired man asks as he leans in closer to Sasha.
"Yes baby you will. Pick me up here at 8 and don't be late. I have plans for you," Sasha says as she leans in and gives him a kiss.
"Get a room you too," I tease as I am wiping down the counter.
"How about you get laid?" The blonde haired boy with sea blue eyes responds back as he throws a fry at me.
"Chad stop," Sasha laughs and leans in for another kiss.
I jokingly flip Chad off and walk back into the kitchen storage where all the cleaning supplies are kept. I pull out a couple of clean towels, a bottle filled with water and bleach and some napkins to set the table with.
"Serena can you come back for a second? I need to talk to you about next week's schedule."
I turn around and head back to the storage room and see my boss Amy, the manager of the Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe sitting down in front of the computer rubbing her temples. Her short red hair is brushed back into a low ponytail and I can see a few gray hairs seeping in from the top of her scalp.
"Whats up?" I ask her while also grabbing a chair so I can sit down,
"How are you?" Amy inquires with her eyes matching her smile as she grabs some tylenol.
"I'm okay, just beat the lunch rush. Whats going on?"
"I know you requested to work another double all week but I need to spread out some more hours for some of the other folks here."
My heart starts to flutter as I need the double shifts so I can get a decent car.
"What about Sunday, or any other day out of the week? I really need to get a car." I plead
"I can give you double shifts on Monday and Wednesdays but that's it. You know, the manager position I offered you is still on the table. You'll make more money and you'll have the experience." Amy gives me a smirk as she swigs down some water to go with her pills.
