  First night back at school.

  Woke up this morning with:

  • A hang over
  • Ripped jeans
  • Blood on my bed and clothes
  • Possible banishment from the bar?
  • Thankfully no disease

  Awesome!

  Biggest accomplishment so far this summer.

  Kicked out of Subway because I was too intoxicated.

  Awesome.

  Messages from a minimum wage retail employee

  Dear customers,

  I get paid to help you, and I'm a very nice person in general, so I will usually do all I can to help you out when you need something, and do so with a smile on. However, please know that I get paid to help you with your purchase, not to put up with your ****.

  Maybe if I had a manager's wage I'd be more willing to be tolerant of whatever vices you bring with you on your shopping trip, but at minimum wage, I think not.

  Just a few things to remember:

  • I will gladly help you out to the extent of my ability, but if you are rude to me I will be rude to you.

  • You came to ME for help. You are in need of MY assistance. So next time you think you can talk to me like I'm crap please remember you're the one dependant on me for the success of your shopping trip. I can easily tell you we're out of stock of something you really want when infact we have plenty.

  • Just because you're the customer doesn't make you right, and I don't have to treat you like you're the king of England. The more you piss me off, the less likely I will do my job for you effeciently. You may think I'm just a lowly employee but my life doesn't revolve around my job and I just laugh at you as I go home everyday.

  • I am only one person, and I do not have super powers. Don't get all bent out of shape when I have to get a 200 pound box out of the top shelves of our back wharehouses and it takes more than 20 seconds. Also, no need to roll your eyes at me when I can't help you right away because I'm busy with someone else.

  • I don't care if my store loses a sale, or if you go to one of our competitors instead. Honestly, I don't. You may think it bothers me when you say "Fine, I'll just go to X Store instead!"... but you'd be wrong. It doesn't bother me one bit that my rich employer who would pay me less if it wasn't illegal gets a little bit less rich.

  • I don't make the rules, or prices, if you can't afford something that's your own problem. Also, this is a retail store, not some road side flea market. You can't haggle with me. If you have a problem with the store, talk to the manager, not me.

  • Finally, LEARN TO READ. This one is a lot less general but it pisses me off like no other. If the newspaper says that such-and-such is on sale FRIDAY, don't come in on THURSDAY and try to buy whatever for the FRIDAY SALES PRICE, and then get mad because it's not on sale. Just because you were in town at the time doesn't change anything. IT'S NOT ON SALE YET, LEARN TO THE READ.
