Not so useless NOW, am I?

People are just assholes. Plain and simple.

Anyone who works in food service is God-like in my eyes. Especially because I do not cook. Whenever the pizza delivery driver arrives at my house with my nice cheesy pizza, I have to fight the urge to break down in grateful tears. I'm not even being sarcastic. It's baffling how food service has managed to garner such little respect from some people.

And funny how some people keep saying, "If it wasn't for customers, we would be out of a job" but the other side to that is "If it wasn't for the employees, they would have nobody to make their food, make complaints, resolve their issues etc.

But whatever, karma's a bitch.

First of all, the OP was fifteen. What the fuck kind of job did the SC think he could get at that age? Chief Financial Officer of a multinational corporation?

Secondly, the SC was, what, 18? 20? What was his real job? Pumping gas? Construction? Renting dildos to male prostitutes? Seriously, how much more prestigious could that walking bunghole's job have been than the OP's?

Great story about bartending: my buddy Popcorn is, like me, a bartender. And he actually was one of the opening bartenders at The Bar, before I worked there. And during that time, while he was living in Key West, his friends from back home in Connecticut would give him shit, like "When are you going to get a real job, dude?" Finally one day he snapped at one of them: "Listen, asswipe, I HAVE a real job. It is a tough but enjoyable job, and there are a couple things you ought to know. 1. Unlike most people with "real" jobs, I enjoy the hell out of what I do. 2. I actually make MORE money than most of our friends with "real" jobs." And that was about the last Popcorn heard about "real" jobs from his friends. Word gets around fast.

If anyone ever asks me, while I am working behind the bar, if I ever want to get a "real" job, I'll ask them if they ever again want to get a "real" drink at my bar. That should put an end to THAT nonsense.

Never insult a bartender if you don't want to die of thirst!
