Working at Hell Taco - Comments

@ losing control.

Thank you, for taking the time to read this. I'm glad it was relatable. I was worried it was too jumbled, and fast to understand. Even though that's literally how life is some times lol. Corrections are duly noted, and apreciated.

@ nearly witches.
Thank you so much. Sorry, it's been a while since I found time to log back on. I was going to write it from a manager POV, but I found it difficult to compact. Also, thank you for being specific with the error types. I've never been great at grammar, and I know I have errors, but I don't ever know exactly where lol. So it's nice to be told.

I'm also here as a judge for the Magazine contest!

I really like the direction you decided to take with the "good deed" prompt. As someone who's working in retail/customer service for years, I could definitely relate to this. I also really liked that you focused on the behind-the-scenes aspect of working in a restaurant. A lot of customers are exactly like the ones in this story and they never think about the employees as being human and almost like a family, and you really captured that well in this piece. The ending was super cute as well, I love how it went from being super fast paced to winding down and ending all cute like it did.

There was some errors, mostly just grammar and some capitalization/spelling issues, especially with names, so just keep an eye out for that. Other than that, I quite enjoyed this story. Great job!

I like the idea of this focusing on the other side of a retail setting, because sometimes people don't think of the people behind the counter as human. I work in a call centre and it's the same sort of thing as described here -- customers being rude, complaining and being downright awful to you sometimes -- so I could definitely relate. I thought you captured the idea of the busy atmosphere really well, as well as the cute anecdote at the end when it comes to the ending on a positive note. You get those people that just make you happy no matter what, and I think that was adorable to end on that note, after the stress of the whole piece.

I did notice a few errors when it came to grammar throughout, particularly with the way that some of the dialogue was written -- as a general rule, you shouldn't ever capitalise the word after a piece of dialogue (for instance, The in the very first sentence should be the) -- and I also noticed some minor typos throughout, but it isn't anything that a quick read-through couldn't fix!

Overall, lovely piece! I liked that it was non-stop and then suddenly slowed down at the end, because that's the way I often feel coming home after work! Lovely job!
