Webster has dyslexia.

In my modest career of 6 months at Wendy's where i work, I've touched more hands than i would have liked too. It happens when someone gives you $10 and you give them $4.76 in four dollars, three quarters and one penny. It's the change that get's you. If you want to touch someones hand, give them your spare change.

You should know that touching someones hand when your giving them their change or their food is a lot different then touching someones hand in a high five or even a handshake.

It's almost like you don't exist. You're just a robot that they get their food from. Just an orifice, if you will. you're not their friend, or even a stranger. you are an employee. You say "welcome to Wendy's what can i make fresh for you today?"

Like this one kid i know, he came in and was standing in front of the counter looking at the menu for at least 10 seconds before he recognized i was the cashier. 10 seconds doesn't seem like a lot of time, but it is when your standing there waiting for someone to think of what they want to order. It wasn't that he waited though. I've had some people take like 5 minutes to figure it out, blocking the line in back of them and slowing everything down.

No, it was the fact that he didn't even look at me until that time. He didn't even recognize me as a figure, otherwise he would have seen it was someone he knew.

I mean, realistically, he could have been just looking at the menu intently, not even noticing. maybe it had nothing to do with me.

But it's not the first time.

Maybe they are getting back at me for feeding them their deathfood.

I should just say "welcome to wendy's, how can i make fat for you?"
