do you feel the tension?

     I am sitting in front of the lotions that I am facing. My cane is to the side of me, I have it tucked close to me so it won't trip anyone. A man approaches me to the right of me   I can't hear very well out of that ear. I had just happened to bang my hand against it and moved it, so I thought he told me not to hit him with my cane -- lighthearted and nothing serious. And, so I just replied with a "sorry about that".

     He comes back, stops, and says.

    "You didn't answer me-- Girl, What you doing with that cane?"

    "I have an injured back and need it sometimes..."

    "Ya, and what? Now you gonna get on that welfare!" very angrily.

     Did not know how to answer that, and just nervously laughed.

      I just.... what.

Hostess. Family-owned irish bar and grill.

So today I had a wtf that was a serious breach in communication between people.

I was working the concession the other day and had a local customer approach me. (I recognised him from the many events in the multiplex.) He;s about 20ish and was having a full out conversation with someone as they walked up to the counter.

Tis me, the Fabulous Baker Boy!

Got one very incredibly short one!

CUSTOMER: Would it be cheaper to buy a dozen donuts as opposed to twelve?

MY INNER SELF: Okay how do I answer this without getting fired?

Took me forever to explain to this guy that a dozen WAS twelve!

Current Mood: annoyed

I swear to god, I'm going to lose it on one of these people someday. In every job I have, there is ONE policy that people whine about that drives me up the damn wall because I cannot DO ANYTHING about it! (With rare exceptions)

YOU HAVE TO BE WITH YOUR GODDAMN CAR TO GET ROADSIDE SERVICES OF ANY KIND! It is even in the nifty agreement you had to, y'know, AGREE TO in order to sign up! The only exception is if you can't be there due to health or safety reasons. Stop whining, stop acting surprised that this is a thing, you'd know this if you read the contract. FFS

This could also go for a lot of other complaints I have, but this is the one that really gets on my nerves. The indignation displayed over this policy is astounding.

It has been a very long time since I've found anything on my quests. The places I usually find my scores have been over-picked, and in the case of the Salvation Army on Route 1 in Saugus, Mass, extremely picked over and very pricey. Still some things manage to slip through the careful editing of the folks in the backroom:

I've had this mucous plug that had been driving me mad for the past couple hours, and finally got it out after an intense snorting session when no-one was around. Look at the size of that thing! I feel so much better now.

(And this, boys and girls, is why blowing your nose doesn't always cut it.)

And while I'm already in a TMI community, I don't know if I'm amused, annoyed, or relieved at how I can tell the momentmy period has started. I was in photo today when all of the sudden I was like "whelp, time to run my ass to the bathroom", and I frantically got a manager to cover for me so I could take care of things before it got worse. One of these days I'll get better about taking precautionary measures as my period approaches.
