Hah, let me know when you're working 40 hours a week, in retail, and going through a divorce. Then you'll know what some of us go through.Mechanical Thought wrote:Thanks Alan. What you speak of though, is what I am forced to deal with on a regular basis ... so, really ... I'm aware of how short a while my happiness, as well as the pleasent household and lack of work, will last. Which, of course, is very depressing.
I got to throw someone out of Best Buy today for excessive use of the word "faggot" especially when she started calling me one. It was beautiful when me and a security guard physically grabbed her arms and escorted her out of the building. Stupid whore.
I like throwing people out and telling people off. They make my days bearable.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
Retail = fun.

No, retail isn't fun. Work at Best Buy. I am already applying to other places because I hate Best Buy so fucking much now. I can't stand the people that come in there, make no effort to find anything, and expect me to find each and every DVD on their Christmas lists while trying to help every other person in the store. I want to quit so badly.

my work christmas party sucked so much. i hated my store so much before, now i hate it a million times more. it wasn't really a christmas party. it was more like a birthday party for the manager and his friends. and he used the money the company gave him for the christmas party to throw himself a birthday party and buy food and booze for his friends.
and what i am mostly pissed off about is that we are getting no christmas bonus this year. i have been with the company for over 2 and a half years and each year we have gotten a small gift and a christmas bonus. this year, all we got were stupid carabiner watches that are not worth more than $1. and to make matters even worse, my god damn fucking watch doesn't even fucking work. grrrrrrrr. i am writing a really pissed off email to head office. they can't treat their employees like this. they expect us to be all happy and cheerful to customers. how the hell are we supposed to be happy when we are getting treated like shit?

Lady: <snaps fingers> Excuse me blue shirt boy, is this on sale?
Me: Ma'am, you're being rude.
Lady: I axed you a question!
Me: Look at the sign you're standing next to ma'am.
Lady: I'm going to your manager!
Me: And he'll escort you out of the store ma'am, so either buy your stuff or leave, we don't need your business.
Lady: <mumbles something>
Two minutes later, I had our security escort her out of the store. I abuse my power and the fact my boss likes me. If he didn't, oh God, I'd be so fired.
