That is just hilarious, Faerlain! I love it so much, I might just have to print it out and share it with a few friends. Would you mind? ^^

Nope, go right ahead. Just give credit to me somehow.
Glad you enjoyed it.

Well done! I can relate to nearly everything there, having worked fast food for the past two years (thank goodness I'm done with that!).
Minimum wage sucks, and it's even worse when places fall through on raises that they've promised. I, too, was guranteed a raise after six months. Never got it until I went to the GM (who runs the store... Erm, is supposed to run the store) and talked to her about it. Fifteen minutes of arguing later, I had myself a 25 cent raise. Pain. In. The. Butt.
And people treating you like you're stupid because you make minimum wage? That drove me nuts as well. Especially when they would try to tell me what came on things. I work here, I think I know if your burrito comes with onions.
What about people that come in, trying to be funny, and order something completely off the wall.
Customer: Yeah, can I get a Big Mac?
Me: This is Taco Bell. We don't sell hamburgers.
Customer: You don't sell hamburgers? Well then, I'll take a hamburger.
What do you say? They obviously think they're the funniest thing around, and that if they keep asking a hamburger may magically appear in the kitchen.
Scarlett Red, thanks so much for the "combo" story. That's one I saw time and again, and it's always neat to hear about it happening elsewhere.
One of my biggest pet-peeves is when people don't listen to what's being said, though it can be rather amusing.
Me: Thank you for choosing Taco Bell. How are you tonight?
Oblivious Customer: I'd like a pintos and cheese.... (continues to order)
Me: (Reads back order) Anything to drink with that?
Oblivious Customer: Yeah, I'd like some hot sauce.
That would have been very funny at the time, if I didn't hate being ignored. Listen to what's being said to you people! You think I'm stupid, you should hear yourself.
I could go on, but I think I'll stop there, having b****ed enough already to probably annoy people.
Good luck with the job, Faye!
