(a.k.a. Things I'd like to say to people I have to deal with)
1. Don't be impatient if there are other people in line, or your order isn't given to you the moment you step through the door. It is NOT the end of the world if you don't have the coffee NOW.
2. Don't cut in line. If you cut in line, I will ignore you and serve the person you cut in front of.
3. For the love of god - if you've given me money, I've rung up the order and am getting your change, DON'T suddenly give me coins. I am not good at maths and I will just give you back your coins with your change. Don't get mad at me when this happens, it's your fault. (Yeah, a rant, because this happens ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME. and it pisses me off.)
4. Don't be rude to me if I say "have a nice day" or am polite to you. I don't WANT to be polite, it's part of my JOB, it's what I'm paid to do and I get in trouble if I don't. If I had my way, I'd just keep my mouth shut and give you your coffeel. (seriously, today some old guy told me to "Not fucking tell him to have a nice day" *sighs*)
5. If you are nice to me, I will give you the best bread and pastries. I can't help it, it's just how it works.
Yup. So...yeah...People aren't half as polite as they should be. So if you don't want me to beat you with a stale baguette....Be nice to your barista.
HI! I commented on tons of blog posts, really I did, but somehow they disappeared. Anyway. This is great. I now tip shop people more than I used to :D COFFEEL-the spazzy times that come after coffee. And another word for the Odd Dictionary!
ReplyDeleteToo bad you can't slap people in your job. If I were there, I'd have done it for you. That man must have been having a very, very bad day. or he has some strange fear of the word nice...or...yeah. Maybe he's just a jerk!
ReplyDeleteBAGHAH! stale baguette. I'M NICE!
Uhg, I know, right?! Thanks, that would be awesome if you slapped him. XD
