Just...wow

Please forgive my little rant; this kind of bitchitude really chaps my hide.

Quoth pageantmama quoting a troll

"If you work in retail, i assume you make minimum wage and are on food stamps. If you are my cashier, it is your job to respect me, it is not mine to respect you. Again, i assume you are poor and worthless. Get a respectable job and i will respect you. Until then, STFU and take my return or check me out, I have better things to do then waste any more time then i absolutely have to with your kind. "

Oh, you ASSUME I am poor and worthless? Well, we all know what happens when you ASSUME: you make an ASS of U and ME! Though mostly of U, because let's face facts, the crap you dish out, you couldn't handle for ten seconds.

What you call "respect" is merely basic courtesy, and every person deserves that, unless they act like an asshole, then they deserve a good swift kick out the door. Yes, that means you.

And what's with this "your kind" crap? You and I are not different "kinds"; there is no caste system in the US. All citizens are equal under the law. And what, pray tell, do you consider a "respectable job"? Yes, I make minimum wage. I get real money for doing real work, pay real taxes, make a real contribution to society. I am a real person, not shit on your shoes, and you would not appreciate it if I were to treat you the way you treat me. Grow the hell up and start acting like a decent human being.

Speaking as a pizza delivery driver I WOULD LOVE to see some of these lazy couch potatoes have to get their asses out of that chair and actually have to go to a pizza place and pick up their own order.


WWWWAAAAAAAAAAA I have to use my own gas. I have to abuse my own car, I have to go out in this skin blistering mind numbing heat and get all sweaty and dirty and smelly and nasty. I WANNNNAAAA be lazy

I WANT DELIVERY!!!!!!!
Sorry we no longer offer delivery serivce
WAAAAHHHHHHHHHH WHY?????
Because you kept telling our driver to get a "real" job, so they did. NOW no one wants to do a "unreal job". So sit in your own soup and stew.

The SC in the original post probably wouldn't think much of my job either. I'm a dishwasher. That's certainly not a 'real' job. Then again, I wonder how he'd like to go to his favorite restaurant and not be able to get any food because there weren't any clean pots and pans to cook with or dishes to put the food on?

I'll never understand the correlation some people make between a person's job or the size of their bank account and their worth as a human being. Maybe it's just what they have to tell themselves in order to feel better about their own miserable lives?

[TheTigress]

I find it both hilarious and pathetic that most of these people refer to customer service oriented jobs as "Not real jobs!" Funny, I don't ever recall being paid in Monopoly money when I worked a customer service job.

It gets better.

WAAAHHHHH! I'm almost out of gas, and on my way to the pizza place all the gas stations had signs "no fuel available".

WAAAAHHHHHHHH! The pizza place is out of dough, cheese, and almost all the toppings.

Looks like the truck drivers went and got real jobs.

Looks like the truck drivers went and got reel jobs.

Yep. Gone fishing.

I wonder where this forum was...

[Seshat]

I was thinking that, as well.

Bus drivers, train drivers, truck drivers.
The people who do nothing but stand at roadwork and flag which side can go down the one-lane that's available. (That's a clear 'not a real job' by their standards - but by mine it's crash prevention.)
As someone else said: janitors, repairmen, maintenance, yardwork, in all their endless variations, including road cleaning and graffiti removal.
Lifeguards.
Security officers.
Carers and nurses and counsellors and so forth.
Nappy (Diaper) cleaning services.

And so on, and so on, and so on.

I firmly believe that EVERYONE should have to work retail for 6-12 months, especially in a gas station. But definitely as a cashier somewhere.
