Why are people so fucking dumb?
People are just about the dumbest things out there. Really when you think about it. We fight each other, we steal from one another, we cheat and bully and hate and screw over each other and I personally am sick of it. I hate feeling like I'm being taken advantage of, I hate feeling like someone is giving me the slip, or blowing me off, or treating me like what I say and think and feel don't matter. And I'm also sick of people thinking they can pull the wool over my eyes just because I'm nice. No. That ends tonight. I am no longer going to be sweet and charitable. I am no longer going to be good. No more Ms. Nice Girl.
I refused a sale tonight at work, and the guy was all cute and charming and the last time he came in and bought alcohol, another customer saw him hand it off to a minor. Now I didn't see it with my own two eyes, but the cameras sure did. So he came in tonight and I promised myself that whatever scam he was pulling, he wasn't going to get away with it again; not on my watch. So he came up to the counter with a six pack and asked for cigarettes and I took the case off the counter and said that I'd sell him the cigs, but not the alcohol and I explained that as the proprietor I reserved the right to refuse any sale, so that's what I was doing. He was incredulous; he thought I was kidding. But I stood my ground, told him I had seen something I wasn't pleased with and based on that, was refusing to sell to him. And he left. But I was fucking scared; for all I know, he could come back with a loaded gloak and threaten me. So I'm terrified to be alone in that store now. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea that I refused the sale, but hey, at least my conscience is clear. But am I in more danger now? I don't know
Beyond that, I'm looking for another job anyway... I have wanted to for awhile now. Now I just have more incentive. And on that note, I think I will go to bed.
