I happen to be chronically ill, since i was about 17. Last time i visited my specialist, and i complained about being SO tired all the time and that it depressed me, he told me, i should view my disease and myself differently. He said: "Having Crohns disease, is like being an athlete, it's top sport for the body to deal with it, it's natural for you to be so tired,...it's the... Read More »
Subway's Super Awesome Patrons
It completely blow my mind how old people think when something goes wrong immediately it is just because our generation does not want to do their job and we are all incompetent pothead couch fillers. I used to work at a Subway and a number of characters walked in everyday. During lunch hours in the summer the beach goers would crowd in. I had one woman with a crew of children come in not knowing what they wanted and holding up the line and just taking forever. I am really patient and did not really care that she was holding everyone up. After a lot of subs being made, I go to ring her up. She then proceeds to tell me these are on two separate bills... after they are wrapped up and in bags. I had to unwrap every sub to figure out which one went to which bill. After she payed for the first bunch with cash, she tried to pay for the second with a card. The card would not work. The new card swipe was temperamental so I offered to try it. It would not work. I punched in the numbers manually. Still did not work. Keep in mind there it is still in the lunch rush. I am still patient about the whole thing trying to help out and offered that she could pay with the cash she has. She gave me this horrified look like I just stabbed her and that the cash "was not her's." She proceeded to get very angry and start yelling at me that I was being rude to her and not doing my job and that she has never been treated this way before and where was my manager. I knew I was screwed so I just gave her my name and where my manager was. Now everyone behind her in line were so confused in what was happening and when she stormed out they told me that I did nothing wrong and she was crazy. One of them even said they were going to my manager to them what really happened. Well, my manager came over later, pulled me aside, yelled and cursed at me about the complaint. I tried to tell him it was not my fault and what went down. He did not care. Sooooo thus my day consisted of the good level headed employee, trying to help a difficult customer, gets a complaint for not wanting to do her job and gets freaked out on her boss. decent.
I used to be able to get back from lunch at 12:30 and know that there would be a fresh batch of uPick submissions to read, but now I have to actually do some work as it is not being updated everyday!!!!
Several years ago I worked with a overnight delivery company. It wasn't unusual to run into all sorts of dogs when you made a delivery (including nasty ones.) One day, I walked up to a lady's house where the front door was open. As soon as I rang the bell, I heard the jingle of dog tags & realized I was too far away from the vehicle to get back there in time, so I braced myself.... Read More »
I work at Wal-Mart as a Wireless Sales Associate (basically electronics), and we have this one reoccurring older African-American customer who comes in with the assumption that we are some type of IT or Geek Squad. Well anyways, he comes in about a week ago, and brings his laptop. The laptop that he has is a Compact with Windows XP (a bit outdated I must say). Anyways, he pulls... Read More »
I work private security, we have lately been having a lot of issues with access control and breaches (people not allowed to be there, being there.) so we have one officer who is in charge of training all of the officers in proper breach control. During his breach test, he failed and got a slap on the wrist. During mine, I passed but I missed a minor detail and got written up and... Read More »
