Reply to comment by TheDeHymenizer in Biden calls in Ghostburger order, leaves employee speechless by washingtonpost

Sounds like the employee in question was really excited and that the restaurant knew she would be, so took the extra steps to call her in. Would it be okay to smile for someone having something they subjectively were really excited about happen to them, rather than shitting on it with your negativity?

My takeaway was that the employee is holding the business together so the fumbling owners can have a source of passive income.

lmao spoken like someone whose never had to work retail.

Yah cause if she was pissed I'm sure she would of told reporters that in front of her bosses. Def wouldn't give some "oh yah I was super excitied to take Joe Bidens order over the phone".

I put myself through college working restaurants, and definitely knew a lot of people during those days that would have bent over backwards for this opportunity, and many who would have scoffed. Thankfully the scoffers I knew wouldn’t have felt the need to shit on others like you’re doing and would have been happy for their fellow human being having a moment of happiness with a bucket list item.

Cool bro. Nice little stint right there you did on to bigger and better things. Pretty much anyone I know, including myself, would take the day off.

IF it was Biden coming in person. That would be completely different. But a phone call? For a day off? I don't see it.

edit: and a last comment followed by a block like the high-horse redditor you are. Luckily I got email ssssoooo

"uuuhhh your maligning them she should put on her uniform smile and take her phone call on her day off like a good little girl"

you people are disgusting.

Restaurant work is a needed job area and while it’s not necessarily everyone’s final destination, you’re unfairly maligning yourself and more importantly your coworkers for being in the industry by calling other callings “bigger and better things.”

Honestly all these comments you’re making just make you seem like a negative shithead. Blocked.

My work handled catering for this not A list but pretty popular celebrity couple months ago and I was asked if I would like to stay for a few more hours after my night shift so they could come in to the restaurant, have drinks and I could get photos taken with them. I was like fuck that, I’m clocking out at 10, I don’t care about pictures. I’ll make them drinks and provide service if they’re here in my scheduled time, besides that absolutely not idc how big name you are.

yeah and if Biden was coming in person and she got to meet him, get a picture for a selfie, and all that it would be one thing and I would understand it a bit more.

But a phone call? A freaking phone call haha. I'd hope I'd be getting my day off rescheduled
