McDonald's- Now full of more shit than ever before!

They've started a new policy thinger at McDonald's regarding employee meals in an attempt to treat their menial employees even more like bloodless fucking pawns:

-No dessert items (no ice cream, no shakes, no pies, no cookies, no parfaits)
-Only medium-sized value meals
-Only 6-piece nugget meals
-No salads
-Only 3-piece chicken strips

I discovered the full ramifications of this earlier in the week: I could get a $5 #4 meal (double quarter-pounder with cheese, medium fries and drink), but I could NOT get a $1.50 shake by itself. DOUBLE YOO TEE EFF IS THIS?!  I worked for eight fucking hours with nothing to eat except two biscuits, and I can't have a damn shake?  It's not like they're taking this stuff out of the managers' paychecks or anything.  It has no effect on them whatsoever, and 99% of the time there's no one from corporate around to find out. 

AND: There's this kid James who is an all-around ass, acts like he's black when he's a fat pimply white kid, refuses to do any work, swears at customers, and complains all the fucking time.  Last week he walked out in the middle of a huge rush because Vee wouldn't let him have a cigarette break.  And what was the punitive action here, considering his overall behavior?  He was suspended for a few days.

PLUS: Some woman wanted two kiddie cones.  I told her that we don't have kiddie cones, and she asked if she could just pay for one and split it in half.  I said okay, and gave her the two cones with only a little bit of ice cream in it (they were filled just a bit past the top).   She came back a bit later and started bitching about how she didn't think she got enough ice cream, even though the amount I gave her was about twice that of the kiddie cones.  She stood there and bitched about maybe three cents worth of ice cream while I gave her even more.  Accounting for the ice cream her slobbery brats ate before she came back, she probably got an entire cone for free.  And she continued to bitch.  Bitch bitch bitch.  About how her kids were complaining about how they didn't get enough ice cream.  Judging by the looks of the kids, the last thing they needed in their diets was more ice cream and a shrewish complainy mom willing to give it to them.  Fucking spoiled brats.  Bring back the belt, I say.

(end rant)

I'm thinking I'm going to switch my availability back to evenings... that way I can work at Center Stage more, and also the evening people are way cooler and more fun to work with.  The managers are a lot nicer too- they don't nitpick over the employee meal policy and they'll let you off early if it's not busy.  It's like 4:00 is the Asshole Cutoff- no assholes working after 4 PM.

I got to paint mannequins some more today and yesterday... XD They're looking uber-spiffy.    I can't believe I'm getting paid to do this.
