I had a McDonald’s tell me the machine was down for maintenance and then at the next window I heard a guy in the background shout, “Hey, don’t make that, I told them the machine was down”.
I’m still unreasonably bitter about it because my wife was sick and just craving a quick blizzard.
On the other end of the spear - we had two conveyer ovens at one of my old jobs. One had shit out and was waiting for repair for a couple days. We turned the other one on in the morning and it died. I called the district guy and told him what’s up.
“Can I go home then?”
“No, send everyone home and you stay to answer the phones and explain why we can’t make food.”
Of course it cost to keep other people on the clock, but I was salary.
The fact that they figured it was easier to keep someone there than to just have it leave a voicemail saying our machines are down we are temporarily closed it’s insane
Everything was customer service with this place. I was officially reprimanded twice for the things I said to a “customer”. But they needed me badly and I didn’t know my worth. And, and, and.
They wanted me there to soothe people’s emotions over not being able to get a pizza. Which were quite volatile. Many insisted I was bullshitting and had a way to make them a pizza. If I could line them up today I’d shove dough into their gullets until they choked.

Oh god that sounds brutal.
