I always start out nice, and say hi.
If you ignore me, like this guy today, I'll just say hi again.
If you persist, like this guy did, in ignoring me I'll crane my neck and lean right into your field of vision inches from your face, and just stare until I'm acknowledged.
Aha, that got his attention, startled, he manages a hasty "Hello, uh..."
I nod my approval, lean back and continue, with "How are you today?"
HE says "No complaints, not that anybody ever listens when I do."
WTF WTF WTF WTF WTF FUCK YOU.
FUCK the holiday season working retail. I work a grocery store...and FUCK this.
We get bitched at enough about not greeting people....etc....and it's so frustrating when I'm even having a good day, being polite, etc...and people are just the worst. I just want to say to them, "Look! I don't want to have this interaction either, but it's my JOB. At least fake it, ok, asshole?"
So draining.... the amount of times I've almost walked out or called in "sick" for no reason has increased dramatically lately. This shit steals my time and energy, when I could be spending it making something I'm good at. The worst, worst, worst.




to that.
It'll be worth it when I get accepted, though.
