All of the Complaining

Oh good, now Adobe Photosham wants me to pay monthly fees if I wanna buy Photoshop. I tried downloading some versions from links on a Tumblr post, but they weren't compatible with my computer. I guess I wasn't cut out for even the simplest graphic making.

Dear shoppers,

If you see an employee who has to be outside, usually to gather shopping carts or because a lot of their time on the job requires them to be outside, and it happens to be fucking cold, please don't say anything within our earshot anything along the lines of "Glad I don't have your job."

Because guess what? WE KNOW. We don't want this job either. It's a horrible job. We're constantly on our feet, and constantly outside, and constantly have to deal with whatever shitty weather we have to deal with. And we hate it. We hate the fact that this is what our jobs are, and that we have to come in on days that we'd rather spend NOT at work. We hate that many of us aren't even being paid enough.

And when we have to actually HEAR you assholes say it? It makes us angrier because it's another reminder that this is what we have to do with our lives if we want to make any sort of money. And it's definitely NOT helping our situation.

You really want to help us out in some way? Try actually cleaning up your mess. Actually try and do your part to help make the employee's job easier. Actually do something to increase minimum wage. Actually pay for stuff. Also, just don't be a fucking douche.

A lot of this REALLY isn't that hard to do. Remember, if you could afford the trip to the store, you can afford to do at least one of the things listed. A little effort to help make the world a little better for people REALLY doesn't cost that much in comparison.

My mom experiences a lot of the same thing. People are assholes to her just because she's a cashier. They don't want to sympathize that she might be working as hard as she can just to get by.

People suck. 

I think the worst thing about working as a cashier is when customers expect the cashier to be in charge of all the prices. It's something that I notice crops up between my last job and when I see it happening while I wait in line.

I can't imagine what it would feel like to hear people complaining about your job, Knightzilla, without having to do it. That has to be the most infuriating thing ever and I'm sorry you have to deal with that crap.

Really, any complaints that I get is from whichever manager/supervisor is that day, where it's usually "Get more carts! Move faster!" and often failing to realize that I'M JUST ONE PERSON OUT THERE.

Really, a lot of the blame shouldn't be blamed at the employees, since we're trying to do our jobs the best that we can. It's just that a lot of the problems that customers (or even managers) give us shit for is something that is not really our problem to begin with, be it with the pricing or how the scheduling is or how many people are working that particular day.

Because the planet Earth is full of shite. It's pretty much become the planet where all the shitty people go. In fact, if we ever become part of some intergalactic united guild of planets and systems, planet Earth will be Florida. Or probably the planet of the rednecks. Point is, shitty people are still allowed to exist, and make the world shit for everyone else by making their lives into shit, and passing the curse of shit on.

Well I hope it becomes Florida because I gotta kick-start my pro wrestling career down there.
