Take a drink, take a drive.
My manager let me off work early today. I was up front at the hostess stand when he came up to tell me to clock out.
"Are you sure?" I asked, glancing around the place.
"Yeah, yeah, it's a slow day, no point. just clock out."
"But I...I'm down to work a double shift today...my schedule said 10:30 and 4?"
"Oh? Hmm, well you can take off now and just be back here by four, sound good?"
"Sure" as I thought to myself "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SAY ANYTHING OH MY GOD IF YOU WEREN'T ME I WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU BY NOW"
"Say," he said, clapping his hands together as if struck by an epiphany, "I'll buy you lunch."
"Ok" I shrugged. Evidently he didn't realize I know that I get a free meal every shift.
"Right on," he pointed to Adam, the server who has been helping me/bailing me out and probably thinks I'm weird as fuck because when he asked to see what I was doodling I had to show him the pterodactyl I'd drawn dragging a diner away. "Get this girl an enchilada." he looked at me "Black beans or refried?"
"...Black?"
"Chicken or Beef?"
"...Chicken?"
"You heard her Adam, let's get on it!"
He and Adam then both left. After I seated a few more people, Adam came back with what looked to be a newspaper drenched in cheese. I said thanks and took about three bites then got the hell out of there.
Only two and a half more hours til I have to go back since I had to open my big fat gordita crunch mouth. God dammit.
