Who Orders a Toe? A Fast Food Horror Story | CLANCYPASTA

[00:00:00] Reese's peanut butter cups are the greatest, but let me play devil's advocate here. Let's

[00:00:04] see, so no that's a good thing. That's definitely not a problem.

[00:00:10] Reese's you did it! You stumped this charming devil!

[00:00:24] Hey everyone. Long time lurker first time poster here.

[00:00:29] I've read some wild stories on this forum and though I never thought I'd share my own,

[00:00:36] you've all inspired me. So, I'll just get into it.

[00:00:42] This happened a few months ago while I was working a fast food gig. You know the drill,

[00:00:47] college kid needing extra cash and all that.

[00:00:51] I was usually on the afternoon shift but, this one time, one of my coworkers wanted to switch

[00:00:57] for the night. She had a graveyard shift which wasn't my cup of tea. I hesitated but,

[00:01:04] then I figured, why not? It's just one night right? I could help out a coworker even if

[00:01:12] just this once. But by the end of the night, I was regretting my decision hard.

[00:01:19] It was a typically slow graveyard shift. Just to me and two others hold up in this place,

[00:01:31] waiting for time to tick by. Virtually no customers. Maybe a couple on the drive-through but

[00:01:38] no one bothered walking into the place. I was almost falling asleep at the counter when,

[00:01:45] around midnight, this guy walks in. He's wearing a ski mask into black hoodie looking

[00:01:54] all kinds of shady. Made my nerves jump a bit. Not gonna lie. I mean listen, seeing someone

[00:02:02] in a mask isn't weird at all these days but a ski mask that doesn't even cover your mouth.

[00:02:08] Well, he comes up to the counter and I'm expecting a normal run-of-the-mill order but then he hits me

[00:02:18] with... um... I'll have the toe please. I laughed it off at first thinking it was some weird joke

[00:02:31] but the guy wasn't laughing. He just stared at me with these intense blue eyes like he was dead

[00:02:40] serious. I stopped laughing. We both just stood there in an awkward silence for a few moments before I

[00:02:50] said... Oh, um... we don't sell that. Would you like to try the Lux extra molten

[00:03:01] slushy? But before I could even finish the last word, this other dude appears out of nowhere coming

[00:03:09] from behind me, behind the counter. I'm staring at the guy. He's tall, skinny. It has these deeply,

[00:03:20] creepy, sunken eyes. In the thing I noticed first above all else, he's dressed in a manager's uniform

[00:03:29] but I've never seen him before in my life. I'd been working here for about two months at this point

[00:03:39] and I knew the manager of this place. It was Craig and this guy was no Craig. Well, you walked

[00:03:50] around the counter towards the prospective customer with his unsettling giggle as he hands the ski-mass

[00:03:57] guy a fast food bag. The customer's serious, perched expression changes to a relieved smile

[00:04:08] and just like that the customer leaves in the mysterious manager, simply heads straight back behind

[00:04:17] the counter and for the employee lounge and shuts the door behind him.

[00:04:26] I gotta be honest, I'm kind of freaking out at this point thinking who in the world was that?

[00:04:34] I've never seen him before in my life and what did he give that guy?

[00:04:40] I walked around to the back, drive through window area just to sneak a peek at my co-workers.

[00:04:49] Yeah, they were there doing their job. None of them have decided to cosplay as some creepy

[00:04:55] never before seen manager. So I decided I gotta figure this out for myself.

[00:05:03] I go to the employee lounge to check it out. I knock on the door but there's no answer.

[00:05:09] I knock again and still no answer. So I try the door to my surprise, it's locked.

[00:05:20] I didn't even know that knob had a lock so I had to interrupt the stillness of my co-workers shift

[00:05:27] to ask them if they knew where a key was. John wasn't too happy about having to leave his seat which

[00:05:34] I found kind of obnoxious but he rifled through a few drawers and eventually found an old key.

[00:05:40] Handing it to me with an attitude is if I just asked him to run a few laps around the building.

[00:05:47] Jeez. Well anyways, I inserted the key, unlocked the door and pulled it open.

[00:05:55] I stepped inside and looked around. It was a small room almost just a bit bigger than a large

[00:06:04] closet with a coffee machine, a mini fridge and a little radio on the desk in the corner.

[00:06:12] A couple fold out chairs littering the floor but no one was inside. No one at all.

[00:06:20] Now there is only one entrance or exit to that room and it's the door the phantom manager went into

[00:06:32] and closed behind him. I stood in there for probably 15 minutes just scanning the place over

[00:06:42] and over and over again. I just couldn't believe it. It didn't make any sense.

[00:06:52] I finally went out and asked my co-workers if they saw anyone else come in but they were clueless.

[00:07:00] Nobody saw anything. I knew if I said anything further, they'd think I'm crazy.

[00:07:08] I was beyond horrified to say the least. It was the weirdest and most unnerving thing I've ever

[00:07:19] experienced. I never worked the graveyard shift again, and I never saw either that guy or the

[00:07:28] customer again. And no before you ask, we definitely don't serve toes at our place.

[00:07:40] Though I think almost every night about what was in that paper bag, it sends shivers down my spine.

[00:07:48] I quit a few days later. Couldn't handle the thought of working another night shift after that

[00:07:58] and didn't want to take the risk. So yeah, that's my story. Not your typical night on the job but

[00:08:11] pretty unique and unnerving, I think. Thought it'd be fun to share and hear your reactions to it.

[00:08:20] Hopefully whoever that customer was or whoever that manager was never finds this post.

[00:08:31] I think they wanted to keep a low profile.

[00:08:42] Rises peanut butter cups are the greatest, but let me play devil's advocate here. Let's see so

[00:08:49] no that's a good thing. That's definitely not a problem. Rises you did it! You stumped this charming devil!

[00:09:11] Thank you all for listening to tonight's episode of Clancy Pasta. I hope you all enjoyed.

[00:09:41] Thank you all for listening and I will talk to you all very soon.
