APOV
I sat anxiously in the car behind Carlisle's on my way to work. I'd talked over with Rosalie and Edward to see if it'd be a good idea to get a job at McDonalds with Emmett to keep an eye on him. He didn't know this yet and we both started at the same time today. I'd lied and said I'd worked at a McDonalds before so I could skip training, and ended up spending my time following some guy at a different McDonalds last night, learning how to do everything. Esme parked 2 cars away from Carlisle and we watched to see that Emmett went in without noticing us. I glanced at Carlisles car and he nodded to let me know I was safe.
As I stepped out of the car in my dorky blue uniform, I skipped my way into the building. I walked through the employee entrance and found my way to the locker room. Emmett was in there taking off his over-shirt and putting his badge on crooked and his hat on. I had no time to think and before I knew it, I was face to face with my older brother. "What the heck are you doing here Alice!" he screeched quietly. "Look. Rosalie and Edward both told me it'd be smart if I worked here too so I could keep an eye on you okay?" I replied and pushed my way into the locker room. I took off my sweater and folded it carefully into my bag. My bag was packed and I sauntered through all the objects, attempting to find my badge and hat. Once I had located them, I pulled them out and placed them on as carefully and straight as possible.
Emmett had clocked on and was already at work sorting out a draw, counting it to make sure there was $200 exact in there. I rolled on the balls of my feet waiting for a manager to notice me. Emmett finished counting his drawer and a manager handed him her card and told him to go set up at register 12. The tiny office room was empty now besides the manager sitting at the desk. She looked up to see me standing awkwardly, awaiting my tasks for the shift. "Alice Cullen?" she asked questioningly. "Yes. That's me!" I grinned back at her. "You're on fries today. It said that you've worked at McDonalds before? So you wont need any help today?" she questioned back. Uh Oh I thought to myself. "Yup. I should be fine!" I said so fake that even I didn't believe myself. She grunted and nodded at me before going back to texting whoever she was texting.
I floated over to the fry station and tried to recap everything I'd watched the guy do. Pick up fry catcher thingy. Grab fry box or bag. Place at the end of the fry catcher. Shake to fill bag. I did this and in no time I'd filled the fry rack with 3 bags/boxes of each size of fries. I grinned proudly until I noticed I had no fries in the fry holder. The vats had 4 empty baskets to cook the fries in hanging above. I gripped the handles of 2 of them and placed them in the fry dropper part of Frankii. The fries dropped into the baskets and they became too heavy to carry both. When I realized it would be smart to carry one at a time, a crowd had started to gather. Oh No... I grimaced as I realized I was going to need to work better.
I was about 2 hours into my 3 hour shift when the manager came by to check on me. She noticed I was struggling and asked, "I thought you said you'd worked at McDonalds before." I flicked my head around to face her and replied, "Well I'm a bit out of practice. I haven't worked there in a while and I'm slowly remembering all the tricks." She raised an eyebrow towards me then looked out at the crowd then back at the fries. "How about I help. I'll package the fries, you cook the fries." I thought over the proposal she offered me then nodded. I thought it'd be better to get help then to keep people waiting on their fries.
Near the end of my shift, Frankii needed to be filled. "Uhm, where are the fries kept to fill Frankii?" I asked solemnly to the manager. "Out back in the freezer. It's the second big door in the store area." She replied. I said a few words of thanks before rushing out back to the freezer. I stepped inside and was greeted by a big gust of cool air. It took me about 5 minutes to find the fries and to notice I was too short to reach the higher up boxes. I stepped up high onto other tall boxes and before long, I was face to face with the fries. I grabbed a box and placed it behind me on another stack of boxes. I continued to do this until I was at the bottom again.
I'd filled Frankii and the crowd had died down before I glanced at the time. 4pm. Thank goodness! I don't know how much of this torture I can handle! I thought to myself. "Excuse me, I finish now. Is it possible that I could clock off now?" I asked as sweetly as I could to the manager. "Yeah sure. Take your brother with you." She replied rather rudely. I twisted around to leave and almost collided with Emmett. "meet me outside Alice. I just need to count my draw and we can go." He said as he stepped around me.
Not too long after I left, Emmett came out and waited with me for Carlisle or Esme to pick us up. They didn't take long and I explained to Carlisle how tedious this job thing is. I never understood how people could work in fast food places. It's gross!
A/N: I'm sooo sooo sooo sooo sorry that I haven't updated this! I've had sooo many great ideas spinning in my head for this story. This one was the main thing I wanted to incorporate. At my work, I'm rather short and the short jokes wont work on Emmett too well xD so having Alice get a job too helps me incorporate the short jokes.
If you could all do me a biiiig favour, could you PLEASE go read my Big Brother story (specially the last chapter) then vote in my poll who you want eliminated on my page, then you will get virtual cookies for eternity! Or a chance to help me write a chapter of a story of mine of your choice (this is only for FF members. Sorry my lovely anonymous readers. I love you all too =]) it's just it's a hung vote right now and only 2 people have voted. I voted for the anonymous reviewer who voted off someone. Meaning I put my vote as who they chose. Well if you could do that, I'll love you forever =]
