I used to work crazy shifts at Pizza Hut and Papa John's. The longest was a 10am to 4am at Pizza Hut. I was the only delivery driver who didn't call in, and on that particular day, didn't quit. I was young, though, and it was kind of fun. Most days were only 10am to midnight.
It's food, but it counts anway. A few people asked me if i wanted to smoke up with them, i was offered beer at least once, and two really drunk girls told me if i gave them the pizza for free, i could watch them have sex with each other. Of course, like a good boy, i turned all of it down. A few times in Savannah, people would walk up to the door with only a bedsheet or towel on, and one guy tried to get me to sell him weed. I had long hair at the time, and he was high or drunk or something. I got robbed once, but unlike a few people i know, it wasn't at gun point.
There was this girl that wouldn't come into the store when i was there, because i creeped her out. Why? Because i was obsessed with her for some strange reason i can't remember. In the end, we kind of patched things up. Everyone else in the store gave her free food because of me.
My old boss did coke and was just a little crazy because of it. He was kind of big and liked to yell a lot. He didn't quite understand that he couldn't beat up employees, but the guy he beat up was a negative attention whore anyway. The boss-guy wanted to buy me a prostitute and get me high on my last day, so i guess he liked me. He ended up buying me a huge tray of Chik-fil-A nuggets instead.
Working at B&N is only half as weird, but twice as annoying. The people in Manhasset are both rich and just plain mean, like diffx mean. Some of them are really stupid too, annoying, but really funny later. Some lady orders a coffee and asks if we can put milk into it. So, we ask her what kind.
"What?"
"What kind of milk do you want in it?"
"What?"
"Milk. Whole or skim."
The she goes, "MIIIIILK?" like i asked her if she's ever used a samoflange.
This other kid was German or something, and despite being 14 or so, had this really high pitched annoying voice. He wanted a chocolate mousse cheesecake, but instead of mousse, he kept saying "Chocolate mouse! I want a chocolate mouse! Chocolate mouse!" That was all kinds of hillarious when it hit me about two days later.
People ask for all kinds of stuff we don't have or never had, like cigarettes (more than once), beer, quiche, random annoying bagels.
I used to get really mad about stuff like that, but i've calmed down a lot since B&N is only part-time now.
