It's Monday. We've just opened, this is my FIRST customer interaction of the day. Old man asks me if we have wrists braces. I tell him yes, and that they can be found on the other side of the diabetic aisle.
OM: "I'm not diabetic!"
"I realize that, but I was only saying that those are located on the other side of this aisle with the diabetic stuff --"
OM: "Look, look. Slow down, you're going too fast. I can't process this."
Okay . . . so I explain . . . slower? Where the wrist braces are located. Once again he pretty much tells me to shut up and slow down.
"I know you don't give a damn, but I need you to help me."
Excuse me? At this point my manager came out and helped him because he's learned to sense when I've had enough. What the fuck ever, you old asshole. I don't know what the hell he wanted me to do, but assuming I don't give a damn? Yeah, I draw the line there. If I didn't give a damn, I would have just turned off my alarm and not shown up for work this morning. If I didn't give a damn, I would have not reminded boss that it was 9 o clock and time to roll the gates up so I could start waiting on people. I actually came in in a pretty great mood today and I do care, but you're sending me well on my way to not giving a damn about you. In fact, I hope you spend Christmas day all alone and open the fridge to find that all your food has gone rancid, and that your vehicle won't start when you try to go to the store.
I'm really just sick and tired to death of asshole people who think I don't give a shit just because I'm younger than they are.
