  • Get out of my personal space! *panic* LONG

    Omg omg omg omg.... I'm thinking about it and I'm feeling all tight in my chest.

    I let a lot of things go. A LOT. I let mister 2breads touch my hands and shoulders. I let Oscar the Grouch LIVE. I let the store manager talk baby-talk to me.

    I just ask for ONE thing. ONE.

    DO NOT ENTER THE BAKERY WORKSTATION.


    If you're not on my schedule, OR if you don't have a store uniform on, GTFO. Seriously. It makes me physically ill to see you and your germ filled hands walk your dandy ol self inside my workstation and MOLEST MY STUFF!!! I could get FINED because of YOUR stupidity and self-centered-ness!!!

    *breathes*

    Onto the story.

    Her: Grocery Manager's girlfriend who seems touched in the head, in the dropped on the head as a child in hopes to kill her way. RUDE, Nombrilist, your normal SC basically.

    Me: Diminutive cartoonist who doesn't want to see another apple pie for the rest of her life.

    Her: *barges in the "customer-safe zone" of the bakery* Yeah, you got any baguettes? Got them? I want one. Got them made? Where are they? Baguettes? Hello? the ones in the white bags.

    Me: Which ones, the "Tasty" brand or the "salty" brand?

    Her: The white bag, you know, what are those? *points at oven*

    Me: Those are "Tasty" Brand, they come in a white bag.

    Her: Yeah, that's what I want, get me one of those. What's "salty" brand? is "salty" brand what I want?

    Me: I didn't have time to make "salty" brand today, because of the pies. These ones will be ready in about...

    Her: When will they be ready? will they be ready in 5 minutes? *points at timer* Then I'll go muck around then. I'll be right back.

    Everything is pretty much verbatim, albeit translated from french.

    Then it all goes downhill.

    *5 minutes later* (Jeopardy doo doo doo)

    Her: Wow I'm so well timed! They're ready! Hahahaha!

    Me: *pulls out the baguettes... and STARE as that BIATCH walks straight INSIDE the employees only workstation and starts pulling out EVERY BAG from their cubbys!* X infinity

    Her: It's this one! *tugs wrong bag* no, this one! *tugs another wrong bag* It's THIS one, then! *same color bag, but still wrong bag* See? This one!

    Me: *seething* Okay, listen....

    Her: It looks like the right one, but it's too short!!

    Me: *SNAP!* HEY! First of all, I do NOT like having you barge in my workstation!

    Her: But I wanted...!

    Me: Second of all, I do NOT like having you barge in my workstation and them PAW at my bags! get out!

    Her: I wanted to show you what bread...

    Me: When you get a job here and a uniform to match, then you can waltz in here, but since you don't, GET. OUT.

    Her: Aw come on, you know me!

    Me: *starts shoving her out* I don't care if you're *grocery manager*'s girlfriend or Mother Theresa, you are a customer, you don't work here, you don't have a uniform on, you have NO BUSINESS IN MY BAKERY! Now STAND THERE and I'll get you your baguette!

    Her: *standing where I told her to, all offended." But I wanted to make sure you knew what I wanted! Come ooooooon! (french version of whiney Valley girl accent)

    Me: I know what you want, stay put! *prepares baguette, gives it to her politely*

    Her: Thanx.

    Me: Have a lovely afternoon. *shit-eating grin*

    Her: Oh, you too~!

    I was SHAKING after that. Mostly rage, but also a bit of panic attack for having my personal space violated so suddenly. Not just that, like stated earlier, if a hygiene inspector would have come in just then, I would have been HEAVILY fined!

    Oh, and if she complains to her precious bf about how I treated her?

    His in-store nickname is Shrimp.

    Me? I EAT seafood.

    Enough said.
    Now would be a good time to visit So Very Unofficial!

        I don't care what department I work in, stay the hell on your side of the counter. I hated it when people would just barge into my area like they owned the place to ask me something. My ears work just as well with you standing over there. The worst offenders were people at Circuit Shitty who would wander into the warehouse (full of big heavy things that could fall and crush them to death), and when I worked clean-up in the meat market at Kroger. People would walk in and ask for whatever piece of meat cut to this or that width. Yeah, never mind that I'm taking the damn machinery apart to clean it, oh and try not to slip on that chunk of raw meat or that spot of blood on the floor while your at it.

                Me, I would've told anybody coming into an Employees' Area, the usual "WHOA WHOA WHOOOAA!! You are NOT supposed to be in here!!" and promptly shove them out. If I got any crap for that, I would've easily justified myself.

                It was bad enough that when I worked at Subway, the owner's children would be behind the counter, making their own sandwiches. At least they wore gloves.

                  I'm aware of that, but my mind went there anyway. I do so need to remember to put its leash on when I come to CS...

                  I grew up in a clique that was sleazier than the marching band. My intellect goes to the gutter before it stays high and dry. Even on things that were only ever high and dry in the first place. *gestures at prior response*

                    O-HO! Guess what.
                    Liza said I could get written up for the way I handled lil miss bag-paws.

                    Look at how much I care.

                    Seriously, I did not scream, I did not curse.

                    I'm going to get written up for that while Geordi and Jack are way worse than me? (I luv Geordi and Jack--Trust me, if they start yelling at you and calling you names, you dang well deserved it!)

                    And if I do? Well too dang bad.

                    I'm not going to apologize for kicking a customer out. I'd rather be written up for standing my grounds than fired for letting a customer in despite Hygiene/security issues.

                    Had another one this morning who barged in the workstation, following me. Her, she didn't argue when I said "uh, WOAH! Don't come in here!" (I didn't hear her follow me so she surprised me). She laughed it off, said "Oh, what am I thinking!" And walked right back out.

                    I apologized for saying it so roughly on account of surprise, she apologized for walking in. She got what she wanted, we wished each other a good day, and that was it.

                    Now is it so hard to listen to the lil baker girl?

                        Um
                        how can you get written up for making sure than a non-employee was in a restricted area?
                        If the write up does occur, make sure that it states you were trying to prevent a non-employee from entering a food preparation area, and then call the Dept of Health and report them.
                        Well, that's what I would do anyways. I'm sure it's part of the job description somewhere...

                          You know, I would report that you are getting written up for enforcing health laws on your bakery. Maybe drop hints about health codes, diseases one can catch, and the many fines and trouble that could occur to your grocery manager. Or I could lend one of my swords, I don't think anyone would want to miss with a baker wielding a katana.

                            But, you see, you're just a lowly employee and she's the Manager's Girlfriend. So she gets carte blanche to go all over the store and if someone tries to enforce the laws, she can whine to the manager and get the big, mean employee in trouble. How dare you, a lowly peon, scold the little princess!

                              I've worked in a number of convenience stores, and unless I know them personally, someone walking behind the counter is just cause for me to IMMEDIATELY push the Panic Button. The one that gets cops there in 180 seconds or less (in theory). Yes, THAT button.

                              Never had to use it, thankfully.
