I feel like Pizza Hut sucked because no one tips you there but you still do real serving work. I loved Pizza Hut at the same time though b/c I liked my asst. manager (then turned general manager) and he would make us pizzas & stuff for in the back every now and then and was sarcastic and fun haha.
And he took an interest in talking to me about my classes at school which I thought was nice.
It was always dead though except at lunch buffet.

What are the odds? Ha.

We weren't a full-on dine in store, but we had a small eat-in area. I served whenever there were people in there. Most of the time, I was the phone, drive thru, and pick up hand out/cashier girl.

I always said that hell hath no fury like the WEEKEND customers. It's like the ENTIRE world orders pizza on the weekend and is SUPER IMPATIENT about it.

I would take a delivery order and TEN MINUTES LATER, that person is on the phone SCREAMING "OMGWTFWHEREISMYPIZZAI'MGONNADIELETMESPEAKTOYOURMA NAGER!!!!!"

Best thing ever: eating/taking home "mistake pizza" so it didn't get thrown out (yes I know, technically it's verboten but my assistant mgr. hated wasting food).

I also got tips all the time even though technically I wasn't supposed to. I NEVER expected one, but if someone wanted to GIVE me $5 just for handing them their pizza and cashing them out, great. lol.
