Opossum

Traveling so slowly, cannot get him off my mind.
Oh my g. So I have decided that this post is going to be all about me bitching to all of you about how much I fucking hate customers and their snobby attitudes when they order their shit. I work at a coffee place and every woman who comes in either has to be on their stupid Blackberry or talking to the frizzy-haired-mom-jean-wearing-hag they're standing with. Jesus. So I'm stuck at the counter waiting for her highness to pay attention to as I am trying to ask her what she wants. I mean, she did come in the fucking store to ORDER COFFEE so she should be ready when it is her turn to order. And then there are the men who come in and as I am saying "Hi, how are you today," they shout their order at me like I am deaf and don't speak English without even offering up so much as "Hello, I'm doing fine, and yourself?" Seriously have some fucking respect for yourself, and try not to look like an asshole to someone you are seeing for the first time. I never realized how little courtesy people have in our society. I'm not saying that I am perfect, and I have my fair share of times when I am in a bad mood or simply forget to say please and thank you to those who I am giving my order to. AND NO, I am not "waiting on you" I am simply making you fucking coffee. This is not a servant/owner type deal, it is a worker/customer deal so don't say that I am waiting on you, because I am not. To top everything off, I had this guy today tell me that I got his order wrong when I distinctly remember him telling me what he wanted. He had the audacity to be like, "No, I think I would know what I ordered, excuse you," when all I said to him was, "I thought that was what you told me you wanted," in an apologetic tone. Fucking jerk-off. My co-workers happen to be very nice people and make my time working bearable, but I seen so many rude and disrespectful people in my time working in customer service. I have to stop and ask myself if I come off that way when I am ordering things at various places, but I don't think I do. I treat people who work at restaurants/retail stores/offices as real people trying to earn money, not as less than me workers who need to do everything I say, and do it perfectly. Working is hard and tiresome and I know how it is to want to just go home and relax after a long day of dealing with idiots and assholes. I'm sure anyone else who has worked anywhere, doing anything, knows what I am talking about and may have experienced this shit to an even higher degree. I feel for ya man, and just know that you're not alone out there. Thanks for listening to my ramblings, I feel slightly better.
