How I am at work: I get ridiculously efficient at certain things and almost never do the things I’m not doing all the time.
I make myself impossible to fire by becoming overwhelmingly faster than everybody else at certain things and then my speed becomes the expectation for me.
Push as many limits as possible never with the intention of getting fired.
If I do get fired the places always struggle immensely because other people end up having to cover everything I am doing faster than them and I just find another job.
I am not trying to get fired from Five Guys at all I think it is one of the very best places for someone like me to work, if I did I would have to start over at another place, however this has never been a big deal as a cashier.
While I work at a place sales increase, I expect our sales to be 10-15% higher this year than last year.
I offer essentially flawless customer service way over 99% of the time, nobody is better at customer service than I am.
I worked for Five Guys for 2 months as a fugitive and then actually I got arrested I got rehired 8 months later right when I got out of jail.
I learn fast.
I try to get along with everybody and I usually succeed, the people I don’t get along with generally leave or get fired and nobody really cares, turnover rates are high in this industry and we generally keep the best employees when I am working there.
I save a lot of money by consuming A LOT of free food and soda at work.
As a food industry/movie theater cashier this has almost always been possible for me.
At Five Guys it isn’t an issue at all, I get up to 3 burgers a shift (typically 2) plus fries, as much soda as I want and peanuts if I want.
I don’t gain weight because I have enough sex and I walk a lot (11,160 steps a day average this year so far).
At McDonald’s I felt they weren’t paying me enough and I could replace the job for better.
I actually got a job as a server while I worked there and I was so accustomed to being the way I was at mcds that I didn’t really make it, even though I felt like the restaurant did very well for the brief time I worked there.
I didn’t really like the gm so I went back to mcds. While I was at mcds I left all the time mid shift just to get a message across.
Usually when this happened the place would end up closing for short periods of time (10 min at a time) to catch up with the business.
The 8th time I left without telling a manager with more than an hour left in my shift I got fired, got fired for the same reason the job I had before that but did it way less times.This sounds like Mental Burnout 101, fueled by a desperate need to not admit failure. Wouldn't it be easier to just relax and accept some level of mediocrity within wagecuck constraints? I see this happen to would-be managers if not the managers themselves; It makes even something as simple as selling Smoothies into somewhere between Purgatory and hyperactive stress.
When you speed up, is the quality of the work still intact or does it take a hit? Also, why not direct these passions towards higher tier work? Do you plan to be in food production and sales for the rest of your life?
It would be way easier to relax but I need to work. Maybe I will end up as a Waiter. Not a good job at the moment though. I could also go into construction, but I like what I do. Quality of work is always insanely high, if you saw the picture of potatoes that was a very rare instance where quality may have been sacrificed for quantity but I truly believe we served only very good fries. (They were cleaned extensively immediately after the picture was taken and obviously anything that hits the floor is trash. I take orders at a rapid pace for example. There is basically never a line when I am there as a cashier. The one job I had where there would be lines (movie theater) I would eliminate them at an unbelievable pace. Wish I had a video of it. I have only gotten better as a cashier since then.
