Due to no school being in session for the past couple of weeks, the extra time has allowed me to work more. And honestly, it’s kind of weird. Almost eerie, in a way.
While my work environment and my relationship with coworkers has not changed, the overall flow of working has. Seeing signs on the front window saying for customers to stay 6 feet away from each other is something I’d never expect to see. Or seeing people drive up in the drive thru with winter gloves and masks on, taking back their credit cards with only their pointer finger and thumb. It’s weird, you know? Although the tips have been great. I’ve gotten $20 from the last 2 shifts. I’m not complaining.
I am very lucky that I am still employed. With the circumstances of my job, it’s very easy to stay open and stay safe. I’m very fortunate. Although, it’s gotten a little more stressful due to the amount of employees dropping like flies. Not from illness, but from parent paranoia and quarantine. I believe we are down 10 people. More money for me, I guess?
Day shifts are almost a ghost town, meanwhile everyone and their mother likes to flood us with business and have cars wrapped around the building. Don’t get me wrong, business is great! But when you’re understaffed by 2 people, it’s chaos. Customers have definitely been nicer. They should be, I’m risking contracting any disease you have by giving you your Oreo concretes and Hot Fudge sundaes. Sheesh.
I’m excited to get back into the school routine. I need some things to occupy my time.
