#notpaidenough

I finally lost all patience with customers today.  I work for a theater; I sell concessions, tickets, and clean theaters.  I have to deal with too many adult tantrums and consider it a part of the job, but today I decided I don't care anymore.  Thus now I vent to the internet.

The wonderful customer in question is a man who after being greeted will not let me finish a single sentence while I am trying to take his order.  I become less enthused each time he cuts me off.  I ring up his total and he makes a statement about being rich for having cash in his wallet.  I nod and continue my job, but he then proceeds to tell me that was a joke and I should be laughing.  When I don't laugh, I am told that I don't have a personality and he decides to call me an asshole to my manager.  Thankfully, she doesn't write me up for not laughing.  

I am happy to work somewhere where my coworkers will back me up and stand on my side against bullshit like this.  We all have to deal with these people who think that 1) spending $15 is a lot of money and 2) Spending the money gives them the right to behave like toddlers and treat us like shit. We'll remember you.

Moral of today, don't be an asshole and expect perfect service, or don't try to get someone fired for not laughing at your dumb joke.
