  • probably shouldn't be this annoyedn

    but I hate when my ability is questioned. We are getting a remodel starting today. Until today, I did not know when the cafe would be closed, and wouldn't have, had I not happened to see the sign newly posted. I glanced at the dates, but didn't calculate how many weeks, as I was busy. This mall employee asked me how long we were going to be closed and I hadn't determined that, plus had my hands full with her order, so I told her the other sign had the dates on it.(The front one doesn't). As she walked away, she snarkily said under her breath, "You don't KNOW?" That was rude. I wanted to say "No, I DON'T."

    Welcome to the club! OK, I get it, I'm a night-club bartender, and my primary job is hurling out cheap nasty-ass lager and RedBull-Vodkas at breakneck pace, but I do know my cocktails, and take considerable pride in my skills. The ONLY time in my career I've actually snapped at a customer was when the smeghead had the sheer gall to tell me I was mixing My signature cocktail. wrong.

    Edit: OK, not entirely true. I can be pretty abrupt with other customers at times too. Let's just say that the Dunning-Kruger effect is a harsh, harsh mistress.

    The customer is always right, but this is a public house, and you are a guest.

      A perfect moment to say "Don't ask me, I just work here."

      And by that I mean they don't tell you anything, not that you don't give a crap.

        I love when people ask me about something outside of my department (granted I don't know much about make-up and anti-aging cream {Fav question"Have you used this?", I am tempted to say "Why yes, I am 50 years old but I look like I am in my early twenties}). Its espcially annoying when its medicine. I say talk to the pharmacist, they know better and can ask certain questions I could not think of unless I had the schooling. Plus I don't want someone's life on my hands.

          I just LOVE it when people, after ordering a drink, have the gall to tell me how to make it. It's one thing when it's something I haven't heard of, or even something they think I may not be familiar with. But I'm sorry, if you order a Long Island Iced Tea, and I don't give you a blank look, that means I actually know how to make the fucking drink, and don't need you to give me a patronizing tutorial on its construction.

          I love Wednesdays: don't have to make anyone any drinks whatsoever.
