I used to work at McDonalds when I was younger! This story was when I was just 18, set in Sydney, Australia.
Well, yeah, the story begins...
So I had the morning shift at 5:30am, the thing was I lived 40 minutes from work and the earliest train left at like 5:30am, if I called in sick then I would of got fired and if I didn't turn up I would of got fired, I had no where to stay and well I was pretty much stuffed.
I decided to go out clubbing with a few mates till around 4am and then I would go into work and do the drive thru and front counter. I had never had xtc before and was just planning on having a few drinks and killing time till my shift started. So all was going fine and then a mates mate had xtc on him, I never new anyone who had it before and I had always wanted to try it, my mates were here, it was 11pm (still early), so I bought one!
Well 12am came and I was to scared to take it, wasn't in the right state of mine so I left it in my pocket whilst my mates peaked their heads off. I ended up leaving the club at 4am and caught a train to McDonalds which would take 15 minutes.
Then all of a sudden I thought, fuck it?? Just take the damn pill, it will get you through the day! So I was sitting at the back of the train, I had a bottle of coke and I ate the pill!
So 30 minutes passed and I got this really dizzy feeling waiting for the bus to work, and then it hit me like a train, I was peaking! I was talking to everyone on the bus about absolute shit.
I arrived at Maccas and got changed into my uniform still peaking and did the drive thru, was social to the customers, swept the floors etc. I had a great time and no one new a thing!
After my shift, the manager came up to me and said "(insert my name), you have done an excellent job today, you usually average about 45 seconds per drive thru customer, today you were averaging 30 seconds, you kept the floors tidy, you didn't stop working, the fries machine was constantly full, you did great!". She then proceeded to hand me a badge for my good work!
