17 and the night supervisor. The drive-thru was open later than the dine-in.
So, dine-in was closed and the drive-thru beeper went off. I head over
there, press the button to talk, but the beeping just continues. Huh...I try
to see out there, but it's dark. So, I go to the back of the store, open the
door, and there's a car ON TOP OF the drive thru menu. The menu was folded
in half. The people in the car are wearing costumes, of course, adding to
the strangeness. The guy is trying to push the car back off of the drive
thru menu. I yell at him to just leave it there. He sees me, panics, and
starts ripping the license plates off the car. Meanwhile, his girlfriend is
yelling at him, "Dino - what are you doing!?! You f***ing idiot!" Boyfriend
takes off on foot. Girlfriend is left stranded. I tell coworker to call 911,
meanwhile I get girlfriend to come into the building to calm her down. She
wigs again when she realizes that we're in the process of calling 911,
screams that I'm trying to hold her hostage (because I locked the door) and
demands to be set free. She leaves. Cops arrive. I tell them what happened.
They say, "Oh, it was Dino? Yah, we know where to find him. We'll have him
by morning."
