OK, this contains things to with management and co-workers as well, but it's mostly about the customers. However Mods, please move as you see fit.
Today has been a day from hell. I have a nasty looking wound on my knee and I should really be resting it, but I went in because I need the spondoolicks. My boyfriend has gone away for a few days with his parents to visit his sister, making me a lonely Miss_Stress for the time being
Also, we buried my auntie this week, so I was really not in the mood for a problematic day of work. Of course, the Law of Sod hates me, so a problematic day was what I was blessed with. As such, I have a few sarcastic "thank-you"s to dish out!
First, to the customers of my god-forsaken store:
Thank you. Thank you so bloody much. Thank you for TRASHING the place today so it looks like a tornado has ripped through it. Thank you for refusing to read signs and then bitching at me when you turn out to be sadly mistaken. Thank you for flat-out lying to me about not having any notes smaller than £20 and then having a minor hissy fit when I had to close my till due to lack of change. Thank you for being outraged when I dared have my only break in a 7 hour shift. Thank you for traipsing through the neat gathering of rubbish I had swept up from around the shop. Thank you for coming up to the doors after close and shouting and banging on the glass when I wouldn't let you in. Finally, thank you for continually speaking to me like I am dirt and that I am some brainless bimbo, it really brightens up my day.
Second, to the mother of the year:
Thank you for ignoring me when I asked you to stop your child playing with the card machine. Thank you for telling me off when I asked him to stop. Thank you for letting him continue to play with said machine. Thank you for having the absolute GALL to then get super-angry when you wanted to pay on your card but found you couldn't....because your little darling broke the sodding machine!
Third, to my co-workers:
Thank you for ignoring every till bell that sounded, leaving me to do it. Thank you for flat out REFUSING to block my till off so I could go for my dinner. Thank you for refusing to help me tidy up my parts of the shop at the end of the day...the parts I couldn't get done because YOU lot were too damned lazy to answer the head cashier's calls for assistance!
Fourth, to my idiotic manager (who incidentally I now blame for the majority of this afternoon's stock not being put out, as well as the shop still being such a mess):
Thank you for deciding to send 3 members of staff home at 2 o'clock because there was "no work", leaving 4 members of staff in total to cover tills and put stock out. As a result of this, the shop is still in a mess because we had no time to tidy it all well and put all the stock out. Thank you for doing absolutely nothing yourself throughout the day. And finally, thank you for taking on the role of "rat deserting the sinking ship" and going home early, leaving the shop in an absolute mess.
Well, tomorrow's shift should be fun Anyone care to offer me a refined alcoholic beverage?

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
