Day 11.
UGH.
I was sitting at the new Starbucks in the nearest town from my house when my boss called me in to work from whenever I could get there (ended up being 3:30) until 8 because one of my coworkers (the same one who was 90 minutes late yesterday) couldn’t get a ride. So I couldn’t get any grocery shopping or laundry in. Let alone a shower.
This guy had me spread ketchup and salsa on his pizza, from the hot dog ingredients, and bitched at me when I didn’t do it to his satisfaction.
A woman wanted $9 worth of PowerBall tickets on her debit card, but there’s a $10 minimum with that payment method, so she had to get another one-- and then she wanted me to give her her tickets before her credit card had finished processing. “I have the money; I promise you.” Jesus Christ, woman, wait 10 more seconds. And then she snatched it out of my hand after I gave it to her, and alked away like she was all that.
I burned 15 pieces of chicken because I used the wrong setting. I dropped a large cup of Coca-Cola on the floor.
But there was some light in the darkness. When I went out to check on someone at the coffee station and let her know about the deal we have where you can get any size coffee and a muffin for $2.49 as a 7Rewards member, she looked very pleased. And proved it a few moments later when she said to me and my mentor, “You know… I stopped coming here for awhile because one of the employees was always mean to me. But the two of you have been very nice, and you’re making me reconsider.” I told her, “After the day I’ve had, I needed to hear that. So thank you.”
