My. Wiggly's

I walk into the restaurant and clock in. I sigh. Another grueling day at Mr. Wiggly's. Yup, Mr. Wiggly's. It's a fast food place that sells burgers, fries, tacos, and whatever other unhealthy shit people like to eat. The pay was good for a fast food place. So I had to give it that. I sighed and pushed back my black hair, preparing by myself for rude customers and stale fried for lunch.

"Hey dude!" 

I turn to see my childhood best friend running towards me. His blond hair lit up under the lights. He smiled with his big green eyes. I smiled warmly at my adorable friend. He ran up to me and hugged me. 

"Nice to see ya!" He smiled brightly 

"Nice to see you too Calvin" I say

He clocks in before he usually, I like to sleep in. 

"I just got back from my girlfriends house," he brags "It's a shame you're single"

I roll my eyes

"Yeah, yeah,"

I liked being single, I've never met anyone who gave me that heart beating feelings or whatnot. Honestly, I think it's stupid. I'm fine with just being by myself and my idiot friend Calvin. 

"So what shift you working first Rick" Calvin asked me

"Drive thru, you?"

"Making fries" he smiles

"You love this job too much" 

"Nice pay, free food. Who wouldn't love it?" 

He says, walking away.

I smile and go to the drive through.

During our lunch break Calvin brings us both two tacos and some fries. He takes the sauces all for himself and I shrug. I prefer my fries dry. Not my tacos though. I take my taco sauce from him and he frowns. As we eat he scrolls through tiktok and I look around. I notice everyone crowding around and the manager smiles proudly. I tap Calvin and he takes a few minutes to notice but he looks.

We see the manager point to the door.

"Introducing our new mascot, Mr. Wiggly the elephant!." 

A large purple elephant, well a person in an elephant suit, walks through the door happily. I've never seen something so ugly. It was a purple elephant with a wiggly snout, they stupidly tried to fit the name, it had a black top hat too small for it's fat head. It wore no clothes. So I was forced to look at its obese looking body. It really was just a normal elephant but I hated it anyway. 

Calvin seemed excited. I rolled my eyes, I swore all of them were just robots. The ugly animal did a couple dances for the workers and a few customers and we had quite a bit of business that day. Everyone talked about how the elephant was adorable or about how he was so sweet handing out free burgers to kids. Like the manager didn't tell him to do that for attention to be drawn to the restaurant. Pathetic.

I really did hate this place.
