Dog Bites and Bee Stings

I am the only person sitting inside a Tim Hortons café as the two angry workers get bombarded by the drive-thru line. “We’re too short-staffed for this shit” says the shorter confident one as the bagel and iced cappuccino orders pour in like waves. The tall anxious kid takes the orders and the shorter one hustles to fulfill them. It’s an interesting environment to work in. They are, thankfully, separated from the drive-thru customers so they are free to talk all the noise they want. I think short guy just took a phone call while toasting and buttering bagels. I applaud them for being able to do this kind of work. I would fail due to my lack of patience and composure under pressure from annoying customers with obnoxious orders. It especially sucks when you know everyone is happy and refreshed after the New Year. Plus, it’s Friday evening and you are working like a dog while the rest of the world laughs and wonders what your problem is when you don’t laugh along with them.
