you know...working at Old Navy comes into a direct contradiction with my personality. the store is really bubbly and pop-y and well..fake. i am angry and cynical and i hate everything. can you just imagine how difficult it is for me to walk in there everyday and put on a smile? it’s painful.
then i think, is there a place i could work where i could be cynical and angry and not get in trouble? and, yup, you guessed it...i couldn’t think of anywhere. the customer service world is so phony. people yell at you and you have to smile and say thank you. is that right? i mean, shouldn't i be able to yell back? i think i should. people get away with far too much in the industry in which i work. it makes the average person feel like its ok to be a complete asshole. just because i am providing a service does not mean that you get to belittle me because you feel you are in the power position. i am not a lesser human being just because i am cashing you through, or opening a fitting room for you. it’s like customers forget that we customer service workers are people too. and just like customers don’t like getting yelled at by me, i don’t like getting yelled at by them.

i need a job where i can yell at people. most people deserve it.
