Warning: Long story

This was a few years ago. I got a job in a cinema, I was 4 or 5 years older than most of my co-workers whom it was most of their first jobs. Having had a couple of jobs previous and a few years of maturity under my belt, I quickly became a very valued employee, so much so, I was given a promotion to Supervisor within 6 months.

The general manager loved me. I was a Swiss army knife. I would take care of projection duties when the projection manager was at our other sites. I dealt with the busy periods very calmly and was able to diffuse potential situations into getting worse. I was very good at my job. I would be “in charge” of the building when whatever manager was there had to step out.

old people: let me speak to your manager. This never would have happened in my day. And yet you all want the minimum wage raised. I’m going to kill you.

cashier: I’m sorry it’s going to be a 5 minute wait for your food

So I walk past the woman and put money in teen's tip jar. Haven't even gotten ice cream yet.

Woman looks at me. Turns back and yells some more with the teen. I put more money in the tip jar.

omg can I have this baby now!!? <3 😍

I was at a restaurant once and asked for a Nutella milkshake and hes like “oh we’re out of that” and I, being someone who doesn’t want to make their lives difficult was like “oh okay, chocolate milkshake” and he said they were out of that, so when i was like “Alright… water is fine then” he said they were out of water and it was only then that I began to process that he was PROBABLY fucking with me. 

little baby: tank you :)

Me:

I really like what this physicist, Lamar Glover, has to say in Behind the Curve.
