I’m working part-time at a fast food joint and holy fuck, you and your friends just came to order stuff and oh no I have this huge fat crush on you because you’re always so nice to everyone and to me, I hope you don’t notice the fear in my Customer Service Smile™. Steve is bored out of his absolute *mind*. Ever since he began working at the local McDonalds, he's had twelve customers. Steve's been working there for two weeks.
