Aghhh, I think The Soapbox is my worst one just because they won't fucking leave me alone. I had one guy call me after he was sent a letter saying he wasn't invited for an interview (not even passing the sifting stage which in my field of recruitment basically means he filled out his application in crayon and with his feet). And he tells me, from the dawn of time when he was born, right up to the present day, his entire fucking work history. For half an hour ( ... )

Very funny! I followed the link to The 5 Worst Sources of Advice on Television; you've got to watch the Maury clip--I laughed myself silly. I just pray to god that was an actress because nobody should be that lame. http://www.cracked.com/article_16988_5-worst-sources-advice-on-television.html

I've been through several of these.

"Do you still have the eggnog milkshakes?"

"No, that's just for the holidays. It's June."

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Quite sure."

"Because I could really go for an eggnog milkshake right now."

Or in my case, WE DON'T HAVE PAPER BAGS DAMMIT! QUIT TELLING US HOW AWESOME PAPER BAGS ARE!

The Cellphone Shithead's coup de grace, however, is when they have the audacity to give the "just a minute" finger when you ask them "how can I help you?"

Nevemind the rapidly forming line behind this motherfucker. D:

Seriously, you've been waiting in line for ten minutes now

Or in the case of grocery store shoppers, they JUST REALIZED they didn't want all those perishables anyway. Bitch it's after ten, it's just me and the closing manager. -.-

I am so adding this to memories. (And "just" as I'm struggling to get back into the job market too...)

And "just" as I'm struggling to get back into the job market too

Ugh, you and me both! And I've had a customer actually FUCKING DIAL A CALL while I was talking. Her stream of WIN later went on to witness to me about Jesus (since clearly she was his living embodiment with her attitude) when she saw my pentacle. *retches* DIAF DIAF DIAF!!!!

I actually had a lady buy me roses and tell me "God loves you" when I was wearing my pentacle.

(Full story: I was working at a grocery store, it was around Mother's Day, she had bought one of the last pots of mini roses. I was gonna get one for my mom. I asked if there were any left. She said there was one. Okay. So a few minutes she's back in my line with the last pot of roses. She pays for the pot of roses, gives it to me, says, "God wants you to know he loves you," and I say a stunned "Thanks!", and then she leaves.)

THANK YOU. I work in the food service industry and I seriously have to agree. The worst in my opinion is the Soapbox or the Anchor. I HATE the Soapbox because I try to be professional and honestly, I just want my fucking paycheck. I don't want to hear the entire fucking story about how they feel terrible and how shitty a week they've had. *This is a quality that is even worse in coworkers than in customers. Coworkers don't disappear after twenty minutes! The Anchor is even worse in customers though. Seriously, you want a fantasy fucking cake with your mixed cookies (from every different price) five different boxes? At my old job (on a college campus) that I quit from, I made sandwiches and dealt with many micromanagers and stoners...

...People should work in the food service industry once in their lives. The world would be a better place.

THIS! Food service or retail. World peace might be attainable after all!

Speaking of related industries, I'm considering reevaluating my soul-sucking job and finding yet another job serving the joy that is the American public.... yay!

Without souls, we can attain world peace through mutual misery, right?

alivemagdolene May 26 2009, 15:26:53 UTC

I'm headed down that road myself! *fistbumps of solidarity for "Sufferer For the Sins of the World" professions*
