There are a lot of random things that happen at Culver's that one may never even think about.  You don't really think about your car being 'exposed' while you are working until things happen to it while you are working.  The first experience I had with this was a Sunday night that is rained most of the night.  My cousins had been in earlier that evening to visit me and after that I didn't think any more about their visit; well that was until I went out to my car.  They napkined my car.  Yes, napkined.  While I know that is not a 'real' word that is my version of what happened.  They took napkins and put them all over my car.  Not just a few napkins; a few hundred napkins.  (It's very similar to being toilet papered).   Needless to say I was not happy having to clear 100+ wet napkins from my car.

The second car incident was a sign that was put on my windshield that said 'HOMECOMING?' spelled out in Hershey's kisses with some balloons.  This one was not bad to clean up but did have kind of a sad ending since I had to say no to the invitation.  The girl who put the sign/balloons didn't talk to me for weeks after that.

The third car incident was some girls who I work with took the washable markers and wrote random things on my windows and windshield.  This happened just a few weeks ago.  I have a newer car and I was not pleased that they did this.  I told them:  "NEVER touch my car again."

When we are told to clean the bathrooms at Culver's that means different things to different workers.  For me it means making sure I clean the mirror, check the supplies and waste at least 3-5 minutes so they think I am really cleaning good.  This is a good time to check your text messages as you are not allowed to check your phone during your shift.  Hey...you gotta get creative to check your phone.  The bathroom is a perfect place.

Our Culver's is located pretty close to a McDonalds.  Some kids challenge other kids that when they take out the Culver's garbage they should run to McDonalds and order a cheeseburger and see if they can make it back to Culver's before they get in trouble.  I can honestly say I haven't tried this one and was told by my supervisor NEVER to try it or I would get fired.

The last random thing I can think of is we have a guy who comes through the drive thru a few times a week.  He gets his food, eats it in the parking lot and then comes through the drive thru a second time to get his soda re-filled.  He re-fills his soda every time he comes through the drive-thru.  Needless to say, we've gotten to know his routine. His name is Bob. He is the one of the nicest older man i have ever met. Lately he has been getting a grilled cheese with his refill as well. Really changes things up.

Actually I just thought of another thing that happens every week. This one guy used to just come through the drive-thru every Friday. I don't think i have ever seen this guy without a smile. His dad is in the hospital and he was telling me about it and he said everything with a smile. It's insane because nothing brings him down. He always looks on the bright side and that his dad is being taken care of and getting better, not the fact that he is in the hospital. But lately he comes in on a Tuesday or Thursday. It's really a surprise when I see him because he is just happy and makes your day better. His name is Jeff but we nicknamed him "smiley". I hope to see him this Friday.
