Things I Forgot I Hated About RPS Part 1

Yes that's right...I'm back at the kiosk slinging bagels and making change. At first this was a super depressing thought and job prospect. However, I have come to accept it as a good temporary job option because of a few things:

1) I already know what I'm doing.
2) Peter is my boss, which is super amazing.
3) I get some time off when Tom visits.
4) It's an extremely easy job that I will never bring home with me.

It's still a little bit disappointing, but alas. At least I'm not at the salon anymore. But there are a few things that get under my skin. Things that I should have remembered but for some reason chose to forget. Here they are.

1) Stupid people. Now, this is a problem in most jobs, especially ones that deal with customers. But honestly I don't understand how half of these people got in to college. There are signs posted all over the kiosk stating what time we close. And eventually it should become common knowledge for those people who I consider regulars. But there is not a day that goes by where I don't watch some idiot trying to open all the locked coolers to get a drink, pulling at the door with a puzzled look on their face. I should be nice and just immediately tell them we're closed, but sometimes I like to watch them make an ass of themselves for awhile. Or people who walk up to a supervisor when they are counting the money in the drawer and ask "Is there still time for me to get a drink?" NO! Clearly we are closing down the register. Why would they let you buy a Coke, thus forcing them to completely redo counting the drawer. STUPID. PEOPLE. There are millions of other examples like this...but I'll get to those at a later date.

2) People who buy a donut, which is $.75, and pay with a 20. That drives me absolutely insane. I realize that not everyone has a dollar bill...but break your 20 some other way. Just pisses me off.

3) People who get pissed at me about how much things cost, and then talk to me about it like I have the power to change it. I can't fucking change the price. If it's too expensive...which it is...SHOP SOMEWHERE ELSE.

4) People who wear their ear buds throughout the transaction. When I ask them a question they can't hear me. It's incredibly rude. Take out your buds. Don't be an asshole.

That's it for now. I'm going to go drool over Michael Fassbender now.
