People Suck

Nov 23, 2005 10:38

Whil cutomer service has its high points; for one shop keeps, in the United States especially, cannot chop your hand off for stealing. But furhter more customer service allows people to treat those in the service industry like crap. I almost got hit by a car the other day and the driver look at me like it was my fault, despite the fact that he was going 20 miles per hour in a crowded parking lot. Yesterday a man yelled at one of the door greeters just because she asked to see his membership card, which is not a foreign concept considering its fucking Sam's and they do that all the time. I had to pick up three diapers, Three fucking diapers from a cart...everybody poops people, its not tha hard to throw your own baby's crap in a trashcan or -gasp- change the fucking baby in the god damn bathroom where theres a fucking table and -gasp- a trashcan!
A bed matress will not fit in a small compact car, it just wont, nor will a refrigerator, even if you take all the styrofoam and boxing off.

That was my rant for today, customers are by far the rudest people i have met, dont get me wrong some of them are nice, but the majority of them make life a living hell. I work again today for another 8 hours. my legs wouldnt move when i woke up this morning...but other than that im peachy keen. I get tomorrow off, paid, thank god, and i dont have to work the insane hours of the morning when people kill each other for a damn Bratz doll that does nothing but teach little girls how to look like sluts and whores. Luckily I dont work at Toys r us like Zack. I feel so horribly sorry for him... he has to work at 5 in the morning at the aforementioned place. They instituted a new rule at work saying that cart guys had to go pick up all the abandoned carts inside the store and move them to where customers can take them the next morning, a good plan in theory; however when you have one person cleaning up the parking lot, and the other inside the store running around doing what five cashiers can do in 5 minutes dont be suprised when it takes you an extra 30 minutes to close because the cart boys outside arent done cleaning up the trash lft behind. But alas customers are necessary, as our business would be shot to hell without them. I just wish they were more considerate, especially when they know that a person pushing carts is heading their way and they refuse to move even for a few seconds while the other person passes. But thats just me, i suppose, feeling a certain injustice when i know there are people under worse conditions.

With the holidays upon us i know that my job is about to get a little bit harder though they hired two new guys recently both of whom are very hard workers so it shouldnt be as bad as it could be; my fellow cart guys are nice guys too... men of few words but they seem to make the best of what they have, including being the bottom men on the totem pole, or as call it everyone's bitch. It not really as horrible as i make it sound, it my defense mechanism. It makes me feel human to think my job is horrible, selfish even. I think every one needs to be a little but selfish at least once in their life, it helps them to realize that they are a living person too, they have needs and wants. Luckily Im not a overly selfish bastard who think about nothing but himself; at least not to my knowledge.

we expect rain in the next few days so i dont know how thats gonna turn out. School is fine wrapping up in about two weeks, then its vacation time and hoepfully time to sleep and actually use the sewing machine i finally got. Life is mediocre, filled with ups and down ironically, and no one knows where it will truely lead them. If one surrenders to destiny life can be sort of peaceful without all the struggle or the turmoil. but i think one must struggle at least a little, making the things we do get in the end much more valued, because they came about by our own hands, by our own will.

well thats all for now, hope your holidays are filled with joy, and laughter. and as always thank those who you never notice until you need them, cuz without them you would have to do everything yourself. tah
