all these people disagreeing with me I don't get it. I mean if Biden came personally, took a selfy with her, signed something, etc etc I'd completely understand and wouldn't of posted anything.

But she literally just took a phone call with him placing an order for cheeseburger and fries

It may not float your boat, but she's clearly a big enough fan of the President that she recognized his voice right away (which is definitely not something I think I would be able to do) and got all excited to get "just" a phone call

Not working on hourly wage isn't a day off... She just wasn't scheduled. She gets paid what she works...

oh so you'd give up a day off in order to take a phone call with a famous person?

You wouldn't prefer. Lets say, the owners ASKING you if this is something you'd like to do?

What do you expect her to say exactly if she wasn't? With her bosses right there? With journalists right there?

Sounds like Ghost Burger is a pretty good gig so I don't think she in a position to say "you all could of asked me first....."

Literally this entire thread could be avoided if you understood the very simple idea that you aren't everyone and don't speak for everyone. That's it but for some reason I will never understand you've decided to die on this hill.

yah I know the idea of asking her if she'd like to sacrifice a day off to come into work to take a phone call from Joe Biden is outlandish.

Put on your little uniform, do your little puff piece, and let r/washingdc cheer! Now hope your call was worth it you got 7 more hours on the shift.

yah the idea of asking someone if they prefer to have their day off or have a phone call with a celebrity is both strange or sad.

Idk I remember when I was younger and Vice called the restaurant where I worked to see if they could do an interview there and it was the highlight of my day. Unfortunately my bosses were republicans and once they figured out what Vice was they said no. But just the fact that I spoke to someone from Vice was amazing to me. Now imagine it’s the president, like a good one you care abt (aka not Trump)…

I don't disagree with you. I also found it amusing that the owners were like "oh she needs to come in because we want to reward her." I'd be curious to know if there was anymore rewards beyond taking the call, like a bonus and an extra day off on top of fun of getting to take an order from the President.

I think it's a fun story to be able to tell but not recognizing that it came at a cost and if it wasn't covered for it would be a miss.
