Shuichi's POV:

    After putting on my uniform and head piece, I made my way to the counter. (When I first made this story, I imagined the layout of the restaurant to be like builder brother's pizza from Roblox, so that's kind of how it looks, but it's more realistic) I was taught the basics of the cash register and how to put in someone's order. So I was all set... or so I thought.
    A customer walked in almost immediately after I finished my training. He was pretty short, maybe around 5'1, with purple hair that swooped up at the ends, and a checkered hoodie with the logo for Panta printed on the front. He walked up to the counter with an almost mischievous smile.
    "Hello sir, welcome to Papa John's. What can I get for you?"
    "Yeah can you get a mothafuckin' uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh" The other person working the counter that day started trying to hold back their laughter, but they weren't good at it, seeing as how I just said I noticed them. The other cashier had light green hair, almost like an avocado. Piercing covered almost every part of his body. I looked at his name tag which read Rantaro. Rantaro. Might have to talk to him later.
    "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Wait! He's still going!?
    "Burger!," the short male finally said, very loudly may I add, which apparently cracked up Rantaro because he started laughing hysterically.
    "Sir, we don't have burgers here. We have pizza and garlic bread," I said, rubbing the bridge of my nose.
    "Oh! my cardiac arrest!," Rantaro said as he held his stomach, almost falling to the floor from laughing so much.
    "I'll have a burger! Extra cheese!," the short man said. Didn't I already tell him we don't sell that here?
    "No man. We don't have burgers with extra cheese, we have pizza and garlic bread. I can even get you some coffee from the staff room. Just please stop or leave." Rantaro almost couldn't breathe. He was laughing so hard. I can see why he would find it funny, but it's no joking matter when my paycheck is on the line.
    "The hell did I walk into," said an unknown voice. I turned around to see one of the chef's standing by the door leading to the kitchen. His name tag said Korekiyo (Teru Teru and him have the same voice actor so I thought I'd reference that). He had long navy blue hair and a mask that covered his mouth and nose and half of his neck.
    "I'm crying!," Rantaro said, now on the floor with tears pouring out his eyes with the same laugh I've been hearing for the past five minutes.
    "So am I gonna get my burger or not?"
    At this point, I have had it.
    "Sir! I have told you time and time again! We do not sell burgers!" Then I remembered what sweater he was wearing.
    "We do have Panta though. May I interest you in some?" Right after I said that, his face lit up.
    "Well why didn't you say that before!," he reached over the counter and hugged my mid section. If there was any point in my life where I was on the verge of bopping someone on the head, this was that exact moment, but I didn't, because getting fired is not on my list of the things that are meant to happen on your first day of work. I simply patted his back and gently pulled him off of me.
    "I'll have that right out for you sir." I walked into the kitchen and pulled a Panta out of the freezer. At that moment I realized. They don't pay enough for me to keep doing this shit, but as I said before, I sucked it up, and went on with my day.
