Even if you just work at McDonald's for a while and move on to something else, it's good to have at least some job experience to help you move up. You can even apply for other jobs while you work there just to have something on your resume/applications. In interviews you could just say you're currently working there but you're looking for more hours, or something like that.

Yes, it is. Several annoying quirks but none that ruin it. It is very fun and has a good story.

Latias fan: Yeah, what Lambda said. It suffers from some lazy programming here and there, but overall it's a good game.

I can't really speak for the 3DS version since I've only played the PS2 one, but from what I've heard they're exactly the same. My brother has it and likes it, but he says the 3D is kind of crappy so he keeps it turned off.

Tales of the Abyss 3DS is worth getting. I don't really know how it stacks up against other RPG's because I've only played Paper Mario, Pokemon, and Tales of Symphonia, but I thought it was pretty good. There are some minor flaws like Lambda said, but I enjoyed it. Recently got Kid Icarus too. It's really challenging, but I love it.

I've been working in food service at Culver's for 2 years now. It's kind of like a higher end McDonald's basically. It's not the greatest pay, but as long as you can deal with a few crabby customers each shift, it's not so bad. It's all about attitude really. There are times where I have really *bleep*y days and hate it, and times where it goes great. I just appreciate that I have a job and am building up my savings, honestly. Hopefully next summer I'll be able to branch out, and I have a good idea of 2 maintenance type jobs with higher pay.

Crabby customers are the worst. I had this one lady last week who came in twice complaining about not being able to print from her Macbook whatever. "What, <name of person she talked to on the phone> isn't here?! Why do you IT people always go to lunch during lunch when people need you?!?!" Right, IT people can't eat lunch, and we only exist to serve you. =/

Also, you wouldn't believe how many people have no idea how to use a computer.

Paranoia · Jul 23, 2012 2:49 AM

Yeah. It's especially hard to keep your cool when they're being complete *bleep*s to you. (wow, this forum has pointed out to me how much more I swear now, haha) I've gotten to the point where if they start using they're snappy little tone with me, I will continue to take their order, just be really quiet, and help them as little as possible.

Well it's good people don't know how to use computers cause you would be out of a job if everyone could. tongue

I tell customers to beat it when they start wasting my time.

Negative selling is a powerful technique that takes a long time to master smile

RangerOfIthilien · Jul 23, 2012 2:51 AM

I transfer them to customer service. Then again, the angry customers shouldn't be dialing my extension anyway, but it happens.

Paranoia · Jul 23, 2012 2:51 AM

Unfortunately in my position, telling a customer to beat it probably wouldn't go over too well. How I wish it would though.

RangerOfIthilien · Jul 23, 2012 2:53 AM

Yeah, I'd get fired if I said that. tongue

Spyrorocks · Jul 23, 2012 2:54 AM

When they ask for discounts too many times and get on my nerves, I tell them that they don't have the money.

"I don't think you can afford this."

People get all defensive, because they like to seem like big shots, so they pull out their cash and buy right there. Heh.

@SR: Nice. That's a pretty good idea actually, as long as you can get away with it.

I've noticed that old people can be the best and worst customers. Some of them are super nice and understanding, then others are super grumpy and just plain evil. XD

It would be funny to say "Your password has been changed to the capital city of the USA", and see how many calls you would get.

Paranoia · Jul 23, 2012 2:59 AM

@Stormy: Yeah that sounds like a pain. I was just saying the "you wouldn't have a job otherwise" to be obnoxious.

I don't have mine memorized. At least when I go make a bank account since I don't know it they don't attach it to one tongue

Paranoia · Jul 23, 2012 3:12 AM

Maybe I just know mine cause I use part of it to clock-in at work. And I recently applied for student loans. Yay.
