I never thought i would say this, but sometimes I actually miss working in fast-food industry. High school.... The simple world of Tim Hortons, where if the coworkers are not sweet, at least everything else is.
DOWNSIDES:
- it seems that clean uniform is designed to attract coffee stains and grease, until the original colour is no longer recognizable
- peculiar smell of donuts, coffee and something else (i never found out what it was) that permeates your hands and hair by the end of the day
- being on your feet 8 hours a day
- having to deal with people's assumptions that you are dumb (turns into an upside when you can prove the opposite all while serving coffee)
- you can't "go out for lunch", coz your lunch is 15 minutes of sitting down at a tiny table in the back
- when you stop working there, no Tim Hortons employee can ever make your bagel "just right"
UPSIDES:
- discounted Tim Hortons lunches and all the timbits you can smuggle
- forced practice of addition and subtraction skills. I mean when was the last time you did THAT in your head?
- access to fresh timbits (that is, hot timbits!). A regular customer can never get to those, since that's not the way they are supposed to be consumed. Says who??
- working with your friends from high school (also includes extended conversations when the drive-through is slow)
- You find out how donuts are really made (wait, maybe that's a minus...)
