FEEL MY NON-CONFRONTATIONAL RAAAAAEG
So. Due to being, y'know, not wanting to give away details about my job to the whole internet, brief rundown:
Bossboss: Awesome manager who plays WoW, called so after
copperbadge's Bossboss, who is awesome.
Failboss: store manager. Can't stand him.
Deliboss: the deli manager who... well, I don't really like her much, either, to be honest, but I think it's 'cause she's always stressed (and likes Twilight)
Coffee Counter: the unnamed coffee counter franchise in the store.
R, C, and V: my fellow barista-ppls
T: The Coffee Counter "manager" who doesn't actually have any control over anything.
J: my buddy over in produce. He may have a crush on me, but I think he's mostly glad to have met a girl who's intelligent and not being weird or flirty or both.
Anyway, yesterday ended on a horrific note, as far as work goes, because... well, rather than re-hashing, have a bit of log wherein I explained to magi why my day had sucked.
magi: And I'm sorry about your sucky day. :[ Shall we set someone or something on fire?
Beka: The fucking bitch old lady who decided to cuss me out because I was UNCERTAIN if her coupon applied to the drink she ordered. I didn't say no, I said I wasn't SURE.
magi: ....
Beka: yeah.
Beka: and then she grabbed the coupon out of my hands and tried to get me in trouble with my manager.
Beka: Completely steamrolling over me whenever I'd try to tell her that I'd MAKE HER DAMN COFFEE and cussing more.
magi: Wow. I mean, damn.
Beka: Yeah. Thankfully, my shift ended pretty much then, so I could go clock out and cry in the bathroom for a few minutes.
magi: At that point I think you should be authorized to have someone escort them out of the building because they're upsetting the other customers. And, you know, being bitchtastic, but one's more likely to go over with the managers.
Beka: I should be, but I'm not.
Beka: Though I did tell her more than once to not curse at me. To which she replied "I wouldn't have to fucking curse at you if you'd just do your god-damned job!"
magi: Lady, it's a coffee. Step outside for thirty seconds, take deep breaths, and understand that it's not worth ruining your day or anyone else's over.
Beka: seriously.
Beka: but noooooo.
magi: Lord, some people. It's like the people who will bitch and moan about losing five dollars or something when they trade back Wii accessories. And it's like, man, if you have the spare change to buy a Wii and its games and all the crappy plastic accessories you don't really need, I can only assume that you're financially comfortable enough that five dollars should not be this big of a thing for you.
Beka: Seriously.
Beka: And this coupon? Saved her all of 81¢
magi: ...wow.
Beka: Yeah. All of our normal coffees are less than $2
magi: I periodically find about that much at the bottom of my backpack.
Beka: Exactly
Anyway, it totally ruined my day and made me REALLY not want to go to work today. There were also a couple instances of coworkers being awesome (Bossboss said he knew I'd handled the bitchy lady well because when he talked to her, she said "All she wanted to do was apologise", J had to almost be literally restrained from throwing a banana at her head, and a coworker whose name I don't actually know got up in T's case when he was bitching about me having to be late 'cause the car got stuck in a snowdrift, because she knows shit happens) but really, it just ended up crappy.
I was going to make a post about what I love and hate about my job. That will come later. Maybe tonight.
Also, way to go me, I've hardly blogged at ALL recently. I feel like a bad person, I've done nothing but watch TV and play WoW. T_T
