Tonight, an essay

[shankyknitter]

This evening's shift was bad. But just to me. To the point where my one coworker commented 'Wow sk, the bitches really like you tonight! They see you alone and come on mass!'

The young

oh dear god the next generation is already bitchy. I have this kid who must have been seven years old at the most look at me while I was giving her sister her change and go 'EXCUSE ME. I ordered WATER too. Where is it?' in the most snotty tone possible.

The middle aged

The woman had the most complicated order ever. She came back to my window three times because she wanted more stuff on her ice cream. First it wasn't enough sprinkles, then not enough hot fudge, then she wanted her half eaten cone re-dipped (which we can't do any of) cue pissed cat-face.

The middle aged II

Man returns with half eaten blizzard. Wants more cookie in it. Claims he paid for extra cookie and there's no cookie. We can't put more cookie in it. Rule of thumb, if its passed the counter we can't do anything to it again. Cue cat butt face and ranty mcrantsalot

First off, if I had EVER behaved like that little girl, my mother (God rest her) would've made sure my face met with the back of her hand, in the very least. Second, next shift, remember to take your EW magnet off when you clock in! Wow!

Since leaving the queen of dairy (after working at one for 5 years!), I've realized that a lot of their customers are EWs allll the time. Not all of them, but most! I now work at customer service desk in a retail drug store and I've never yet encountered anything close to how those customers use to talk to me. I honestly can't believe I stayed for 5 years and I'm a bit happier since I left.

Man if i took the time, i could tell some stories!
