The Fast Food Saga: Part Seven- The End of the Fast Food Saga

So much has happened since I last posted about my job. I delayed this post for so long because, well, there wasn't anything interesting to write about. This will be the last post in the Fast Food Saga *wipes away tear* because I would rather do a few mildly interesting posts than a lot of completely boring ones.

The Mascot

I guess my managers were pleased with my performance as an ice cream cone, because they have scheduled me to be The Mascot about twice a week. It's still lots of fun, though the suit seems to get a bit heavier every time.

Kids like the Mascot. But kids are also evil, so some of them like to attack me. One night it got particularly crazy. The little ankle-biters delightful young guests were pounding on my suit's giant ice cream head, swarming around my legs, and stepping on my feet. It wasn't until one kid suggested loudly that they "Tip him over and see if he can stand up again!" that my manager escorted me into the back room and told the kids, "He's not coming back until you start acting nice."

I cowered in the back room, waiting for the horde to disperse. Eventually the kids left, but the whole experience left me a bit shaken.

The Kitchen

I'm still working in the kitchen a few times a week, making fried food for the masses. I'm still locked in mortal combat with the salt shaker, Lucifer. I told myself I wouldn't be bothered by his absurdly high temperature anymore. Mind over matter. Lucifer didn't like that, so he retaliated by letting his lid fall off over an entire batch of fries, burying them in a mountain of salt. I tried to explain to my manager that it wasn't my fault, but he wasn't convinced.

This salt shaker needs to be destroyed.

The End

That's all I've got to say, really. It's been fun posting about work, and I hope you guys have enjoyed The Fast Food Saga.
