I had a very bad day at work today. I had rude customer after rude customer. But the absolute worst was a lady that was rude to a nice lady who was just standing there minding her own business. The lady was waiting for her daughter and granddaughter to come down from upstairs, and they seemed to be taking a long time. Every once in a while, when I wasn't so busy, she'd talk to me a little bit. This other lady was walking around, pretty much in circles, looking for her husband. She finally decided that since he was out talking to someone else, she would just go ahead and check out. So she came back and I said, "Did you find him?" She said, "Yes. He's worse than an old woman." Then she turned her head, looked right at that nice lady standing there, and said, "I'm sorry, Ma'am. I wouldn't have made the old lady comment if I had seen you standing there." Then, my manager came and told me that the owner didn't think I did ANYTHING on Friday. Excuse me? I opened a ton of stuff in the displays AND starightened the back room! My manager did come back once on Friday evening, and I was at the cash register, and I'm sure it looked like I was doing nothing, but I had a sale on the register, and the lady was over at the other end of my counter looking for her money. I was waiting for her. She finally told me that she must have left her money at home, so I voided out the sale, and shut off my register to go out and clean. She said to me tonight, "You'll have to start cleaning during the day, not just in the evening after we close." I got some more bras for $1!! Pretty soon, I'll have quite a collection of them! I really didn't need any more, but for $1, it's a good thing to stock up on. Why not? I have a stockpile of pretty much everything else! I'll be glad when I need to replace one and I already have some there. I stopped at the grocery store on the way home to get potato salad and pasta salad. I'm going to make macaroni salad either later tonight or in the morning, but Dave is the only one who likes potato salad here, so it's not worth making. I would like to make pasta salad, though, one of these days. I also got a bag of potato chips. We are going to make hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. It will be so nice just to have a day off and relax. I'm going to be getting paid for it, too! I put in for my vacation, and they said I could have it. Dave took his at the same time. The end of June. We're not going anywhere, but we're going to do some little things, like take the kids to the zoo or something. We have plaenty of time to figure it out. The main thing is that we'll all be together! |
I could not believe anyone would say something that RUDE! The lady wasn't even old! She was a little older, and she had gray hair, but she wasn't OLD!! Even if she had been, it would have been a rude thing to say. 
I said, "Oh, really? Then what were all those boxes doing there at 5:00? I guess they magically appeared." I have been starting to talk back a lot, and I really don't care anymore. What gets me is that the girl who worked last night didn't open 1 thing. It was al left for me today. And I don't do anything? I said, "Why don't you tell her to come in after Angela works? I'm tired of getting blamed for not doing anything, especially on Sundays when I have 2 days' worth of work to do! And I DO go out and clean during the day, I just prefer to wait until times when we aren't swamped. I go out when it's slow, and if she doesn't like it, she can shove it up her butt!" I shouldn't have said it, but quite honestly, it's been building up for quite some time, and I exploded tonight. I also walked away in tears, like I do many other nights from there. Comments
