    I totally get that. After pizza hut I worked for 4 months at a dominos franchise with my friend Kayla. The franchise owner would bring his son around sometimes. He was probably around 17-18. To be clear they were rich. Franchise owner of a dominos doesn’t sound like much but he owned like 10 including the one we worked at on international drive in Orlando Florida. It’s like the Vegas strip of Florida.

    Anyway his son loved hanging out with Kayla and I because we didn’t give one single shit that he was the owners son. He thought it was wild that i would be a total smartass to his dad…Also Kayla was pretty hot. I’m asexual so we were only just friends but the boy clearly had a crush

    Anyway some conversations I remember that shocked his son

    His dad: I need the key to the cash drawer Me: it’s my drawer, only mine. I can ring the customer up. Dad: I’m not going to steal from my own business- Me: you’re divorced right? so you understand that mistakes happen even with the best intentions? No. You can’t have my key

    Manager meeting at ale house.

    Other managers order

    Me: I’ll have a double scotch in water and (burger order)

    Owners son: can we drink at this meeting?

    Me: I can because I’m over 21 lol

    Owner: no one can drink. It’s an employee meeting. Waiter cancel the scotch.

    Me: I’m sorry Is this a paid meeting?

    Owner: no it’s team building

    Me: but you’re paying for all of our orders at least?

    Owner: no, you aren’t required to order food if you don’t want to. It’s just an option that you can choose.

    Me: cool. Since it’s my time and my money I choose to order a double scotch with water.

    Kayla: I’ll take a margarita with my order.

    Sorry I don’t have any real point I’m making. Just reminiscing. And yes scotch in water is a real drink. It’s not a common drink but it’s been around as long as scotch has. It brings out the more subtle flavors of the scotch.
