Don't even ASK me about honeybees

So there's a guy on a shooting spree around here!

HONEYBEES. That is all.

Scary. It got people at work freaked out.

I nearly quit yesterday. Why? Go read the post about it at customers_suck, about "Richard Simmons." I haven't even posted about it yet at the work blog. (Yeah, I'm slackin'.) Just...........AAAAAARGH. That guy got mean and nasty with me, and after the one cranky senior citizen about threw his 18-pack of beer at me the first day the law went into effect, I swore up and down that if anything like that happened again, I'd quit. And I nearly did just walk off the job yesterday. I was that angry. I (and every other cashier) should not have to put up with that shit. Not for the measly pay we get. It's not worth the stress and hassle. It really isn't.

You know...how agitated and worked-up do you have to get over showing your goddamned ID? Why do people have to be so mean? And why hasn't this asshole been banned from our store yet?! We get so many complaints about him! He's a jerk to the other cashiers and baggers! What will it take for Randy to lay the law down and tell this dickhead to stay the hell out of our store? I don't care if he's a regular and he spends money with us. He's a problematic customer, and I agree with the other posters at c_s that say it was definitely a management_suck that he hasn't been banned yet.

What's even weirder about work now is that Margaret is re-training at our store until the Cedar Lake location is re-opened in a year or so. Why is this weird? Well, she was my boss when I was just a bagger in high school at Wilco (before it became County Market). As a matter of fact, she was the one who hired me over there. So it's like, wow. It's all pretty much come full-circle now, hasn't it?

God, I need a new job. But at least I may be able to count on Margaret for a Wilco reference on my resumé. It's weird how the first job I worked at has been bought out by the people I work for now. And how Blockbuster has had to file for bankruptcy and the one I worked for is out of business. And Jan was fired from Spencer's (and the store has re-located at the mall). What the hell do I do for references now?! I feel like I'm screwed!
