I need to rant...
I can't believe how fucking stupid people are. How ignorant they are. GAH.
Working like I do, at a place like Starbucks, has been proven to be torture on an intellectual level and has mostly succeeded in me hating the majority of the human race even more so than I normally did.
For example. This happened today.
A regular came in for his 3 venti white chocolate mocha frappuccinos. Then, the woman RIGHT AFTER HIM, orders a tall chocolate frappuccino and a caramel one (the same size)
We were quite busy at the time, so there were a few service delays, but I finished the regular's order, brought it up to the bar and called out loudly and clearly while making eye contact with the man who ordered them "At the bar, I have three venti white chocolate mocha frappuccinos."
The woman who ordered after the man, was standing right there, and was looking at me when I called the drink order out. She reached out for all three of the drinks, and because I knew they weren't hers, I retracted them away, out of her reach, until I saw the man. THEN I put them up on the bar, and the woman fucking grabbed them!
Then she gave me this confused look, while the man whose drinks they actually WERE, was making his way to her, and said "...what are these?"
My reply: "Not. Yours."
HOW FUCKING STUPID IS SHE?! She *heard* me call them out, she KNEW what she'd ordered, and even if she COULDN'T remember, she would have KNOWN there was TWO, NOT THREE.
People like her need to be disposed of before they fucking breed and pass their idiocy onto their impressionable young.
Then we get the people with selective hearing.
I say clearly to each customer I serve; "Your drinks will be put up under those red lights by the bar for you to pick up once they are made." I even POINT to it.
They go and sit down, which is fine. But then, when I call out the drink order, they hear me, stare at me, and stay fucking seated.
It's not our policy to do table service unless we're dead quiet, or unless they are old people who can't carry shit well by themselves. Or unless they're handicapped, or whatever.
So, we leave the drinks up there. In fact, I usually call them out VERY LOUDLY a few times, saying "At the bar, I've STILL got a grande flat white and a tall mocha..." and again, they stare, and stay seated.
FUCKING IGNORANT BASTARDS.
And when they actually get off their fat asses and get their damn drinks, they go "Oh it's cold."
DER. NO KIDDING.
I swear, some people are just too stupid/ignorant for me to be able to handle. My manager has noticed that some people just automatically get on my nerves and usually the other girls I work with do too, and they will deal with them as I'm likely to glare them to death due to the lack of permission to MURDER THEM.
BLEH. I will NEVER be like them, and I will make sure my children are not like them either.
Morons. Damn them all.
