School was great, and class was only 20 minutes, so after I turned in my assignment, I got to leave. Driving home I was listening to, ironically, Double Trouble by Brooke White. That's when I passed a highway patrol car on Taft Highway, and he quickly made a U-turn, and came after me.
I pulled off to the side, rolled down my window, and gave him all my information. (I have to say that he was somewhat nice. I've had family members get really rude cops before, so this guy was decent.) He asked me how fast I was going, and I said around 60MPH. (In a 55 zone). After he filled out my information on the yellow slip, he gave it to me, I signed, and he told me I'm free. Looking at that slip, it said 71 in a 55. I honestly do not think I was going that fast. But that's an argument for another time.
So I head home, call my parents, and get ready for work. I clock in, and it turns out there was a promotion going on so it was a little crazy. People were a little strange yesterday also. A guest comes up to me, says we gave her sweet tea in drive-thru instead of unsweet, so I change it out, hand it to her, she spills it, then yells at me saying to give her a refund. My manager comes over and gives her her $2.03 back, and she leaves. Shortly after that, a guy walks in and says: "I'll have 1 cheeseburger". So I tell him we don't carry cheeseburgers, only chicken sandwiches. He throws his arms in the air and says: "Well! Whatever then!" and walks out. Have I mentioned lately how I hate working with the public?
The craziest part of my day though is when I talked to my brother. It turns out that my best friend/bro Jake got a ticket that morning also, an hour after me! So that night he came over, and we thought this picture was necessary.
So it was a very interesting day that I won't soon forget. Here's hoping my ticket is relatively cheap!
The public is horrible to work with. I enjoy people, but not in the capacity of working FOR them. They think they are entitled when in fact, they are not!
ReplyDeleteNothing is worse than having that cop car come after you. LOL It's almost like a rite of passage. Congratulations! LoL
