That Guy
Was talking to some Ducks about "that guy". If you've ever worked any sort of service industry, you know what I'm talking about. Well, I worked at the local Dairy Queen, and there were quite a few "that guy's". Here are a few examples:
two cheeseburgers plain guy - this guy didn't come in daily, but he came in quite often and always got the same order, hence the nickname. he was moderately geeky, and is still around town, driving the same mid-80's El Camino.
X-Large Blizzard guy - This guy would always order an XL Blizzard, which wasn't on the menu and always confused new cashiers. an XL Blizzard is in a 320z large drink cup...a lot of ice cream and candy. this guy ended up working at DQ for a while later in my career.
Jesus Freak - This guy was a biker looking dude, covered in tattoos, who was always in DQ reading the bible and handing out religious pamphlets. He seemed like a pretty good guy and would tell stories about his life before finding God, which was pretty crazy. I found out from a buddy who spent some time in the local pokey that this guy was in at the same time for beating a woman, who apparently bit down during some foreplay. This guy also got a job at DQ for a while, and eventually showed us his true colors. Either he was working a scam angle with the religion, or simply reverted back to his old ways, but he started ripping off the owner, cussing all the time and generally being a pain in the ass so he got canned and ended up leaving town.
Fish lady - This lady would always order a fish sandwich, pay with a $5 and then come back later claiming to have paid with a $20. we were told to keep her fiver on top of the cash register until she left.
There were a few others that weren't regulars, or at least weren't regularly there causing a ruckus that are worth a mention asswheel:
stoned kids that tried to order food through driveup after we were closed. when told we were closed, they said, "fuck you sign!" and burned rubber out of there
a lady with a goatee nicer than mine
a deaf guy who came through driveup...really confused the cashier when she tried to take his order through the loudspeaker.
a lady scraped the side of her brand new Trans Am on a concrete/steel pylon
the occasional pervert (oddly enough, usually women) who would come through with her shirt open or skirt pulled up, always a favorite.
two coworkers had sex in the bathroom one tim.
also, one time i found a photo negative on the floor when cleaning. it was a naked chick. the manager ended up keeping that one.

Steve,
This was a classic walk down memory lane man. Holy crap, I remember all of those people. 2 cheeseburgers plain guy. I remember him like yesterday. Did you ever see 'Supersize Me'? 2 cheeseburger guy reminds me of the Big Mac guy in that documentary.
We knew the two people who hooked up in the bathroom...classic.
Do you remember when our manager had her wash her car and we broke the nozzle at the car wash?
Thanks for writing this man.
All my best.
