Ponton: Will Be Getting Suspended Or, God Forbid, Fired.

ThroneOfAgony 03.07.12	will take this in consideration since i'm getting a job this summer.
Trebor17 03.07.12	That Linkin Park video?
Ponton 03.07.12	yeah. i was honest and stuff. But my managers were just like, thanks for letting us know. However, your screwed.
BallsToTheWall 03.07.12	what happened, not really comprehending the summary.
Trebor17 03.07.12	Somebody ordered something, payed with a 100 bill, he gave them the change back and the 100
Ponton 03.07.12	like she paid for a $1 McDouble with a $100, and I was like okay. So I got her change, all 90- something and accidently gave her the $100 back with the change. In corporate's eyes, I was aiding a theft. I offered to go grab a 100 from my bank but they said no.
AsoTamaki 03.07.12	Should have just replaced the $100 out of your pocket, but I guess you didn't have the cash on you. Still might have had a job that way. Lol. Sucks.
fish. 03.07.12	how can you spend $100 in a fast food restaurant?
Relinquished 03.07.12	dude how can you write so well and work at mickey d's nuts
BallsToTheWall 03.07.12	like she paid for a $1 McDouble with a $100 rofl
JWT155 03.07.12	Lehman's terms on what happened?
KjSwantko 03.07.12	Basically he probably coasted the franchise like $95 or so. Shouldn't seem like grounds for firing since you were honest and haven't done it before.
AsoTamaki 03.07.12	Haha, I thought they didn't accept bills larger than $50 or something anyway? Pretty funny.
Trebor17 03.07.12	Did you hear about the guy that paid with a $200 dollar bill with George Bush on it and got $197 in change?
BallsToTheWall 03.07.12	100% sure that $100 bill was counterfeit. Did you even check to see if it was legit?
Trebor17 03.07.12	Who would risk using a fake c note for a mcdonalds burger?
thumbcrusher 03.07.12	bit harsh that you're screwed because of the dishonesty of the cumstomer :(
Aphrodisiac 03.07.12	working at mcdonalds is the worst job in the world. Escape while you can
Ponton 03.07.12	reling, because unfortunately any job id get with an english degree and loan bills would equal out to full time mcd or something similar, if i got a couple raises or promotions. which isnt happening now. and yeah balls, we check them all
BallsToTheWall 03.07.12	Who would risk using a fake c note for a mcdonalds burger? plenty of people
KjSwantko 03.07.12	lol not sure if he meant cumstomer or not
thumbcrusher 03.07.12	haha i didn't realise that but it fits quite well!
macadoolahicky 03.07.12	Not really sure if you can at this point, but quit before you get fired.
Ponton 03.07.12	best part about it was an hour later in todays shift the head manager pulls up through drive thru and asks how im doing there today while i cash her order. another assist manager is by my side so i just spill it out what happened.
Crysis 03.07.12	dude how can you write so well and work at mickey d's nuts [2] Sorry to hear that Jared, that blows hard. I've given wrong change before but nothing to that degree.
acorncheese 03.07.12	i just quit a grocery store. seriously could not recommend it to anyone. unless you're 16.
Tyrannic 03.07.12	i would punch someone if they tried paying for a burger with a benjamin i feel your pain
Ponton 03.07.12	eh this is sputnik so who cares but the main reason im not in college anymore is for psychological and health reasons associated with addiction. Haha, the last semester before i dropped i made deans list and my advisor was like wtf is your deal? I do try to work hard though, and I really really need this job. Thanks though.
Crysis 03.07.12	"eh this is sputnik so who cares" Being able to write articulately generally signifies some level of intelligence and usually some level of intelligence will mean you are working at another place besides McDonalds. Sucks about your college career, but I can see where you're coming from when you say psychological reasons. I'm ready to pull my fucking hair out but thankfully it's only 2 months until I graduate.
Hep Kat 03.07.12	i do not know who you are, yet you have my tag why is this
Relinquished 03.07.12	u mad hep?
Aphrodisiac 03.07.12	Working at Mcdonalds was the worst experience of my life. I hated every second of it. All i thought about was how I wanted to die, rather than thinking about the much needed money I was making
Hep Kat 03.07.12	yeah dude im about to throttle a kitten
Ponton 03.07.12	no, kyle i meant this is sputnik, so ill just go ahead and be honest about my situation. I didnt mean that the writers here are all bad or something. And congrats on that man, thats awesome.
andcas 03.07.12	how does this even happen?
Tyrannic 03.07.12	"i'm about to throttle a kitten" :O
ConsiderPhlebas 03.07.12	If you get your degree just move to another country and forget the loans
KjSwantko 03.07.12	"i would punch someone if they tried paying for a burger with a benjamin" My buddy has money and does it all the time just for kicks. They usually go, "um yeah I'll have to get my manager though" then he goes "neh, I'll keep my 100's." It's actually pretty funny since I've seen it so many times
Aphrodisiac 03.07.12	"My buddy has money and does it all the time just for kicks." What a fucking shitty person
Tyrannic 03.07.12	yeah i was about to say i would punch your friend in the face
Hep Kat 03.07.12	http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a6/Dead_kitten.jpg
Relinquished 03.07.12	yeah doesn't sound too funny
Tyrannic 03.07.12	@hep HOW DARE THEY DO THAT TO MY BROTHERS
Ponton 03.07.12	I see about 4 to 5 100s every shift at a register to be honest, and yeah most are for orders less than $5. its more annoying for our managers than us i think
Hep Kat 03.07.12	do not provoke me to further violence
Aphrodisiac 03.07.12	any person that harms a cat intentionally deserves to be killed imo
KjSwantko 03.07.12	some serious mofos up in this list today
Aphrodisiac 03.07.12	Kj, I don't think we have ever supported idiocy to the degree that your friend does
KjSwantko 03.07.12	I think you assumed he's arrogant when he does it, he's not, he's having a good time. Too serious people, too serious.
andcas 03.07.12	having fun and being a dick. fine line.
KjSwantko 03.07.12	anyway
JWT155 03.07.12	I only minded when people paid with $100 when my shift started and I didn't have enough in my drawer.
Crysis 03.07.12	"no, kyle i meant this is sputnik, so ill just go ahead and be honest about my situation. I didnt mean that the writers here are all bad or something." Ahhhh ok misunderstood you.
Ponton 03.07.12	hehe ^ now thats annoying jwt. or they make an order, get to the window, their debit card is fraud or cashed out, so they drive off mad
MetallicOpeth 03.07.12	oh man that sucks, I remember my first job at subway I got scammed out of 40 bucks when they asked for change, then while I was getting the money asked for certain denomination then would say ok wait I'll give you this and you give me that, not knowing that I was basically handing them free money cause it happens so fast. Feels crappy for sure, hope you don't lose your job
Ponton 03.07.12	i mean it seriously was my fault, so i deserve something bad. I just wish they would let me pay upfront. the customer probably didnt see or notice the extra 100 in the change until later anyway, so i doubt i was scammed.
andcas 03.07.12	I do.
Tyrannic 03.07.12	"I think you assumed he's arrogant when he does it, he's not, he's having a good time." oh right because that makes me want to NOT punch him in the face
Activista anti-MTV 03.07.12	Personally, I am in a similar situation. Haven't been very happy with the past 7-10 months of my life, but I am ready to move on with things. Here's what I have done: lost 3 jobs, lost girlfriend of 2 years, moved back home... on the bright side, off drugs and alcohol, I can do literally whatever I want to with the rest of my life (anything), discovered my personal faith (most important of all).
Activista anti-MTV 03.07.12	Check out Trampled by Turtles - Trouble Check out my review for more infotainment!
ThroneOfAgony 03.07.12	"Well see, that was something a dumb person (ThroneofAgony) would do. Your managers should just make you lose a weeks pay or something shit idk" try harder
Ponton 03.07.12	Thanks activista. I also lost a gf of 2 years thanks to my shit.
chambered69 03.07.12	psychological and health reasons associated with addiction welcome to my life
SowingSeason 03.07.12	dont worry about getting fired from mcdonalds, you could get another job just like it tomorrow
Lucidity 03.07.12	what were you addicted to? just curious
Inveigh 03.07.12	"Who would risk using a fake c note for a mcdonalds burger?" a person who wants $99 in change from that fake c note
Ponton 03.07.12	actually id be psyched if i could this job is the best distraction ever
jlech 03.07.12	I always thought fast food would be a good place to circulate fake currency, but in low amounts. The cashiers are never ever going to check to see if the bill is real or not and because they are making change so often the fake bills would float to various people quickly making it hard to track down the source.
Xenophanes 03.07.12	I'm sorry to hear all of this bad shit going down for you, Jared. Keep your head up though, it was an honest mistake that I too have made before when I was a manager at a Pizza Hut.
BallsToTheWall 03.07.12	a person who wants $99 in change from that fake c note Inveigh dropping knowledge.
Ponton 03.07.12	how long were you a manager there?
Xenophanes 03.07.12	I still sort of am. I started when I was 16, then became a manager at 19 (22 now), and now I sometimes go back to work for a weekend or so for some extra cash. It pays better then where I currently work so it's sometimes better to go back often I suppose.
Ponton 03.07.12	glad to know youre still employed there even with your similar blunder. yeah id hoped to work my way up to manager myself eventually
Xenophanes 03.07.12	You really have to put up with a lot of shit. I've made a lot of friends but at the same time it seems like places like that attract socially dysfunctional people as well. Employees can be equated to children most times, and dealing with cash is stressful as fuck. I accidentally charged someone's credit card an extra $30 once. Some guy also complained about his food and I told him he didn't have to eat at this restaurant, which in turn started a shit storm. So yeah most of the time it's okay but there are also times you simply want to walk out.
Ponton 03.07.12	I can see why you'd say that. People say before i came there were several dysfunctionals that soon got fired. All the people I work with so far, fortunately, are very easy to get along with, which I know is rare. Yeah i can already tell money is going to be an issue but hopefully if im allowed to stay i can get used to it
Xenophanes 03.07.12	I can't see why you wouldn't be able to stay, I mean , you did offer to replace it.
wacknizzle 03.07.12	Ahh yes, new Andrew Bird is great, classy as always.
AggravatedYeti 03.07.12	hope it works out for the better Jared. honesty and good intentions will hopefully ring true for your superiors.
Ponton 03.07.12	Thanks yeti, hope thins are going well for you
oltnabrick 03.07.12	You will get 40 lashes. http://livingbaptistchurch.org/wp-admin/maint/40-lashes-spongebob-i0.jpg
