Why. Would. You. Do. This.

Getting to work with your work-bff

That one coworker that just makes the shift a little better

Whenever that one customer yells at you for some unknown reason

Of course you can take it out on me just because I'm in a uniform, the customer is ALWAYS right ;)

"Can you stay an extra hour?"

Do I need the money? Yes but I also need to finish watching The Office for the 3rd time.

Seeing you're favorite customer roll through

Favorite old lady ever.
