Well today at work I got pissed off at a customer. The kinds of customers that I hate are the ones that think they know what they are talking about when they have no fucking clue. Anyway today at work these two ladies ask for salads. They ask for a different kind of salad than we normally put on the salads, which that is no big deal. But the first salad used up the rest of the salad we had out front so I went back to get more and came back and poured the new salad in the container up front. Then the one lady says she doesn't want the salad that she has because it looks brown. First of all you had to look to see any brown whatsoever. Second just because the salad has the slightest bit of brown on it that you have to look for doesn't mean its bad, I mean I have eaten salads with lettuce 10 times browner than that one was and I never had any problems. So then I scratch the top of my head with the side of my arm and they insist on me changing my gloves. So I had to change both of my gloves even though only one hand was even close to my head and I know it didn't touch it because I made sure of that. So then since I knew that the ever so slightly brown salad was not bad I went out of view of the ladies and asked my manager what I should do with this salad since I didn't know if he wanted to save it for later use, hell I would have saved it and used it on my own damn sandwich if no one wanted it. But he told me that I should throw it away because if I didn't then those ladies would probably bitch about it. Except he didn't say bitch. So I went to throw away the lettuce in the trash and when I did I made sure my gloves and the bowl did not come in contact with the trash can so I wouldn't have to change gloves or waste the bowl. So when I got back they immediately ask me to change gloves for the second damn time anyway even though both fucking times I hadn't touched a thing. So then I go to make the salad again and they start to bitch again saying no and that they want me to throw that bowl away because they said it touched the trash can which was bullshit because I made sure that it didn't touch the trash can. So by the time they asked me to do that I had already refilled it with lettuce which meant that now two bowls worth of lettuce had now been thrown away. A complete waste. By this point I am beyond pissed off with these ladies and knew I was on the verge of snapping on them and I knew if I snapped that I would get fired on the spot. So I then asked my co-worker to take over the ladies salads before I did something to get myself fired.
Of course, if the ladies weren't bad enough later in the day my manager started acting like an ass towards me. Our drink machine started making noises and he asked me to go fix it. So since I have worked at a different Subway before this one I base just about how everything works at this Subway on how things worked at the other Subway. So when I walked back there to figure out how to stop the noise I didn't know if just changing out the drink would fix it or if it had to be turned off first or whatever, since the other Subways drink machine didn't make that noise. So I figured I better go ask him just to be on the safe side so I did't screw anything up. And he gets all pissed at me saying I was making him have to make this customer wait (which was bullshit cause he could have finished the customer first). And he walks back there and says "All you had to do is change out the drink, how hard was that" and I said "I am not used to this drink machine because the other Subway I worked at had a completely different one, so I didn't know" and of course I am thinking "If thats all I had to do why didn't he just fucking tell me instead of bitching about having to make the customer wait when he didn't have to". Then once I finished that I start to walk around and he is at the sink cleaning something and says to me "Why don't you take out the trash. That should be easy enough for you". And I was like "What the fuck?" (Didn't actually say that part). So between all that I wasn't in the best of moods at work today.
One kinda good thing though is that on Friday I got my grades from last semester off the schools (UNCA) pipeline which is where all our information is at. And I got a B+ in Intro to Meteorology, D in Calc., A in Humanities 124 (The Ancient World), and a A in that Drama class. Which gives me an overall GPA of 2.83 now, which is a decent improvement.
Last of all my parents and I leave for Orlando on Thursday the 27th so unless I find access to a computer down there I wont post for about a week after Thursday.
