Oh my god, work was so unbelievably bad today. It wasn’t the entire day, just one rude bloody woman ruined my whole day.
Basically, I work in a pharmacy, and if I’m to sell co-codamol, which is paracetamol and codene for those who don’t know, I have to ensure the customer is aware that codene is addictave. This scabby old woman comes in, stinking to high heaven, I kid you not, askes for co-codamol, I go through the routine Q’s like I’m supposed to, and before I’ve finished my sentence, she’s going off one one!
Mostly about how she could be my great-grandmother (no shit luv) and how it’s humiliating to be told this (well if you wanna kill yoursef, go ahead) and that I should ask her how she should pay me instead of asking her this! (where the fuck did that come from…?!)
I mean seriously, do these people have nothing better to do with their lives? I don’t usually work saturdays, but according to my collegues that’s the worst day for arseholes to come in and make our life hell.
I seriously hate the public, what gives anyone the right to start yelling at someone who’s doing them a service? Ok, if the service is appaling and the person is being rude, unnattentive and generally a bad employee, the customer has the right to complain, but it’s the ones, like today, who whinge for no reason, belittle others and yell at them because they know if the employee retaliates they have every right to file a formal complaint. I mean, I’m always polite whenever I’m a customer, and I bet you if I’d have been the customer and she the employee she’d have skitzed out if I’d behaved like that.
I seriously wanted to drop kick her in the face… I was so angry I nearly cried, and people who know me know I don’t cry. That’s how angry I was.
Then, (you’ll not believe this) when I gave her her change and said goodbye (forcefully) she starts sucking up to me, but in a really patronising way, and I have to stand there like a complete mug while she prattles on for another five minutes. Cunt.
Some people really make me sick, the old fogeys all moan about how we teens and young adults are uncouth and rude and generally a bad influence, but they should seriously take a good, long look at themselves. They say “Follow our example!” Well, we do guys, but you don’t like taking your own medicine, do you?
I do like old people in general, I really do, because they’re usually quite sweet, but it’s ones like them which makes me think we should just freak ‘em all out by blaring air raid sirens ever couple o’ months…
If you hadn’t guessed, I’m in a ranty mood…
Oh yeah! More old people whinges now; we’re like 10 minutes from shutting the shop, where we scoot round with the duster and tie up any loose ends, before locking the door, getting the money out the till and leaving, when this old guy comes in. Now, I’d put a parking ticket on my car for the time I’d be there, but as I was early I had to go and grab a free 15 minute one 10 minutes before we left, and I’d done that, then this guy comes in.
He’s old, he’s deaf, and he seems to be a bit bumbling. As one, all staff thought “oh fucking no…” and rightly so. Bless him though, he comes in with this querey, and we spend ages trying to sort him out and tell him what to do, but he just didn’t get it. And then there’s me, hopping about on the spot, aware the ticket officer is doing his rounds (a rarity, I know) and I’ve only got 5 minutes left after we shut on time (which was looking unlikely at this point) to get to my car.
Well, we finally boot him out (nicely) at one, our closing time, lock up etc and get ready to go. BUT there’s this one girl who works there, she always takes FOREVER to get sorted, so we tend to leave 10 minutes after closing time because she’s still farting around. Every. Single. Time. Seriously, GET ORGANISED BEFORE!
So she’s arseing around, KNOWING I have to go. It’s the fact that she knew that pissed me off. I just leave. I say “bye bye” and leave. End of crap day. becomes good day when I see my SiME buddy.
Ooh, I’m worn out with this ranting.
In other news, went to a birthday pub party at the Q&C, one of my many locals, and it was great, until some fools decided to bring in some chips from the chippy, so we get booted out and barred. Good one guys ¬¬
But, overall, it was a good night.
Pubbing it again tonight, I seem to be doing everything to avoid revision right now… but hey, I’ll manage… I think… I hope… I fucking pray, man…
Signing off now
Don’t forget SiME!
Love and Hugglies
