"...you too cute to dance?"

I was in the grill today at work. It was an INSANE day. Whoever was working on front counter drove me absolutly bananas ("bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s"). They did not know who to correctly grill a sandwich so we ended up making so much extra food. We got one for a double quarter without mustard and a double quarter without mayo. The first one, okay. The second? They don't COME with mayo so that was a pointless grill. So I made one without mustard, and one regular. Then my manager, who all day said today was her "monday" (which we all understood; I think it was everyone's monday) called back to me and said she needed a double quarter without mayo. Are you serious!? I said, "Um...that's it." "No, I need one WITHOUT mayo." "Double quarters don't COME with mayo!!" She then realized her mistake and felt pretty sheepish. But all day, we got grills that charged for extra pickles and mayo (which we don't do) and sandwiches like a fish without tartar and without pickles and onions. Um...they don't come with those, so after we made it then they sent it back and wanted it with extra tartar and with pickles and onions. We had so much extra food, and yet they kept calling back missed orders. It was crazed. Mr. Manager was driving us all crazy. I wanted to leap over the prep table, and "gou ge" my eyes out with a frozen fry. I didn't get out until 15 after. There were six of us off at 1:00 (Mr. Manager lost his "A-Team") and we all ran like cockroaches from a light.

But on the upside, we did have some good times in grill. We danced today. Actually, I danced and had to school them on some of the classic dances. I was the only one who knew the Roger Rabbit, so I had to demonstrate. I also discovered that I could do the moonwalk with two McChicken wrappers (our "non-slip" shoes make the moonwalk next to impossible, but McChicken wrappers provide the necessary slickness needed in performing this step). I'd done it once before, but it was on request, so there was a second showing. Our bun lady performed "The Pony," which is a move I think Richard Simmons has done. "I'm a pony! I'm a pony!" We kept coaxing our meat person to do the robot, but he never did. He claimed he could, but without sufficient proof, we have our doubts. I do a mad Sprinkler, but without proper props, it really is sub-sufficient. The Lawn Mower is a favorite though...

Bust a move.
