You know what really grinds my gears? When you're alone at work and you're swamped with customers or even worse.....when you're NOT alone at work and you're swamped with customers with no assistance from your co-worker. I work in the Media/Mp3s department at Best Buy and today I literally felt like I was looking up every movie, selling every game system, searching the album title of every artist, locking up every iPod, and explaining the advantages of every house phone all by my lonesome when there were TWO of us in the biggest department in the store. It wasn't even getting to me at first because I'm such a laid back person that I just do my job, help customers, and look for what needs to be done. That is, until I decided I wanted to take a break. Her initial reaction was "Umm do you even get a break?" and I wanted to yell out, "BITCHHH!! I'M WORKING A NINE HOUR SHIFT!" but I digressed. Then she follows up with, "Ok how about in two minutes.....let me go take a smoke right quick."
"WHAT??!!!" You're talking about taking a smoke break when you just questioned me taking a legitimate break? FUCK THAT! Before I could respond to her blatant ignorance, she ran out the door. I was awestruck by how simple this chick was. She came back two minutes later smelling like cigarettes which is a COMPLETE TURN-OFF!!! (and she took 2 smoke breaks and a 20 minute 15-minute break throughout the course of her shift) Girls who smoke AREN'T HOT! I've made a few exceptions to the ones who smoke weed LOL. So I left for my break and returned 30 minutes later to find this simple bitch laying her head on the work desk in the middle of media amongst customers complaining that her head hurt!!! I'm like if you don't feel well go to the back and chill-out. She's like, "I'm having hunger pains." "Hunger pains??" I told her she sounded homeless and that she needed to pull herself together or just go chill and get something to eat. Why'd this chick go to the vending machine, grab some animal crackers and start eating them on the sales floor!!!!!! Amongst customers!!!!!! I HAD to say somethin!!! "What're you doin TAMMY????!!!". She looked at me, paused, and ate a cracker!!!!!!! After that I decided to cut her off and pretend she wasn't there. I finished my shift and went home tired as FUCK. Why? Because I worked a nine hour shift by myself with a co-worker who might as well have been an annoying customer that never buys anything.
HAHAHAHA!! I'm sorry to laugh... but that shit is funny as hell. Tammy is not exactly what I'd call the best worker. Damn... after reflecting... I hope you didn't feel like I did that shit to you today. After thinking about it you probably helped WAY more customers than I did today...
