WARNING; I'm ranting...
Trying to stay upbeat and positive when you have a few thousand college students all moving back into a small area all at once all needing the same things and you work retail and have to be the person to say you don't have it and you are working long, crazy, hours with shitty managers is not as easy as I thought it would be. In fact it's really hard. I don't like being the person that is the receptical for someone's anger when we are out of shower caddy's or whatever the hell you want but don't actually need.
The list of stuff we are out of is now looking something like this;
Fold out tables
Side tables
End tables
Solo cups
All types of lamps
Bed risers
All school suppilies
Most futons
Command hooks
Ether net cables
...there is more to this list.
My days at work have been spent telling people we don't have this stuff. If I'm lucky they say "Okay" and walk away. If they suck I get yelled at by them about they need it and why can't I get it from the backroom. Note;The backroom is NOT endless!
I can't help but think that my mood is not helped by the fact that so many of these college students are your typical "Daddy pays for everything" types and have no concept of being broke. Something I know awfully well. Also I'm grouchy because I cannot go back this semester so really I'm not grouchy but jealous...
Thankfully someone helped make my night a lot better last night :D
Sadly tonight I'm on my own after work. I just need to push through until Tuesday.
Tuesday night is go out and have fun night. I have Wednesday and Thursday off. Those will be two very well earned nights off.
