Holiday Warning: May Contain Coarse Language

A or B, Which Are You?

So November 16th they turned on the Christmas music at work. That was the Friday before thanksgiving. And slowly being driven further into my insanity by that ungodly cheerful music has caused me to realize a few things. First off, the holidays causes you to become one of two things, an asshole or a idiot. Me, I'm an asshole. But we all know that already, don't we. People get incredibly hostile when it gets cold outside. For instance, someone came into work at 8:56 when we close at 9. They wanted some lunch meat sliced, and we begrudgingly sliced it for them. Then they have the nerve to get upset with us because it was taking too long. Asshole. Next we sell complete dinners for you to buy. They're cold, but cooked. It says that 3 times on the order form, "Heat and Serve". And wouldn't you know there were 3 people who were pissed, and I mean pissed
, that their dinner was cold. We told you it would be when you ordered it! Idiot. The surprising thing is that there is more assholes than idiots, but that may be because 95% of the assholes are really stupid too. Who would've thunk it?


A list of things you DO NOT DO!!! We're talking smack to the head here folks.

  1. Use the phrase "If you don't mind..." We do mind, but we can't say anything so all we hear is "I'm a tool..." or "I know I'm a big bitch, but..." Come on people, think.
  2. Be on your cell phone and want to get something. Hang up the phone. I don't disrespect you at your job, don't do it to me. And don't get pissed if I'm not that welcoming if you insist on staying on the phone. Tool.
  3. Look at my name tag and try to act like we're friends. There are only 2 types of people we remember, the ones we like who are in there all the time, and the people we ABSOLUTELY HATE, and we remember you first. If it takes less than a month for me to know what you want, guess which you are.
  4. Want to see a manager because you had to wait. It has already been proven the the universe revolves around The Twat and her bakery, not you. Sorry to burst your bubble.
  5. Make a list and give it to the clerk, then leave. If you don't have that much time, don't buy so much shit!
This list can go on for a while with more or less slightly varied things that are completely annoying. It pretty much comes down to one thing.
We are not working in a service industry because it is our only option. We sacrifice our holiday with our families so you can have and do whatever you want to with yours. So be a little more considerate next time. We are the salt of the earth bitches. We cook your food, fix your shit, watch you while you sleep... you know the rest.
Is it January yet? Seriously?
