Good, he had it coming. How dumb are people, you don't insult people making your food, common sense.

I've done that 😄 lots of fun. Gotta put all those years of learning German to some use, ya know 😉

Try working a sales job...oh my f*cking god did I HATE that...I mean, the money was really good ($15 an hour plus commission, which is excellent for an 18 year old just out of high school), but I couldn't handle it. Between my total shyness, and my impatience and quick temper I found myself half torn between just not saying anything or just exploding and saying "MAKE UP YOUR F*CKING MIND IF YOU'RE GONNA BUY IT OR NOT!!!" Yeah. Not a good job for me. Now I do mostly secretarial work for a small architecture business, mostly computer stuff...much better suited for me. I don't really have to have contact with people 😊

HOW IGNORANT!! and if i'm shelving a ton of books or walking around pusing a cart of books OR i'm standing at customer service-(with name tag- i might add) don't ask me if i work here 'cause obviousley i don't 😠 😄 ps i wanna kick kids too!! 😛

Get the **** out, simple as that 😊

~Angel~ ??Or am I??

I hate my job. I work in a Hallmark store in a mall. I want to burn the whole freaking mall down, starting with the cards!!!!!!!!

Scenario 1:
To fully understand the stupidity of the question, I will start by explain that when cards are shipped to us, we unpack them and put every single one where it belongs. No cards, except for the damaged ones, go to the back.

Lady: Do you have any more cards in drawers or in the back??

Me: No, Everything we have is what's out.

Lady: Are you sure, could you go check for me?

(what I want to say/do) Me: "Sure" *stand there, look like I'm thinking, not moving an inch* "Yes, just as I suspected, all the cards are out."

Scenario 2:
I am "alone" in the store because my manager has once again dissappeared. I am waiting on a lady, as people are lining up at the registers.

Old Man: as he looks directly at me "Does anybody work here?"

Me: *smiling to my best ability while thinking "why don't you die!"* "Yes"

Old Man: *points at Hallmark embroidered Apron and Nametag* "Could that be why you wear that nametag?"

Me: *eye twitches* (sarcastically) "Do you think so??? Could be!!!"
What I wanted to say to the old geezer: "Do you know what?? Open your eyes. Do you see anyone else in the store besides you??? Maybe, just maybe, I was with another customer!"

Scenario 3:
An old man comes up to the counter while an old lady is checking out. This is something we see a lot of. I assumed It was her husband waiting for her. He stands a good six feet away from the counter, just staring at all of us. Doesn't make a peep. Finally, he speaks up, but not without attitude.

Cranky old man: WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M STANDING HERE FOR, JUST TO TAKE UP SPACE??? *and he walks away*

Lady at counter: *laughs*

Me: *eyes widen in shock* to no one in particular: "Yes, I ignored you on purpose, because obviously I can read your mind! I majored in it, don't you know?"

Scenario 4:

As I am ringing a customer up:
Lady: Where are your ______???

Me: You know, there's two other ladies over there who can help you.

Lady: But you can't...???

Me: No.... I'm helping another customer... If you hadn't noticed...

I have worse, I work in a chocolate/ice cream place, the number of people who don't speak english who visit is insane shocking

~Angel~ ??Or am I??

Scenario 5: Five minutes to closing...

Lady walking in: Are you closing???

Me: In about 2 minutes

Lady: Oh... *continues to shop*

*closing*

Lady: Oh, I'd better check out, I know you want to get home... *continues to shop*

*five minutes after we close the doors, and I begin to turn lights out*

Lady: Oh.. I guess It's time to go... *she finally checks out*
