This ridiculous thing I did at work today

Confused Howard Stern with Howard Schultz.  

Oops.

THIS IS NOT YOUR FUCKING CHANGE JAR. Don’t toss your pennies in here. If it’s less than a quarter, it needs to stay in your damn pocket. You might as well flip me off and laugh as you walk away in place of tipping me pennies. You’re an asshole, your stupid drinks are PERFECT. Would you tip a bartender pennies? Fuck, no. So don’t do it to your barista.

Talk Turkey

I keep seeing all the different guides online for how to have discussions about reproductive healthcare, economics, sexual orientation and gender identity.  For the people who are able to have those conversations, great!

Honestly, I'm just going to try to make it through the evening without getting hit, bruised, or sexually assaulted by members of my extended biological family.

I need out.

Happy Hours

The 'bux has happy hours starting... yesterday. This will be the only time I am glad that I only work opens. 

I get to miss ALL OF THEM. 

Hell yeah!  

My manager was trying to get me all excited about them.  Leadership fail.  Now's she's actually furious at me because I mentioned that I was glad to miss that clusterfuck. 

Who's getting punished for the next few schedules?  This kid.

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but damn if I don't love it to pieces.

Must learn how to make. I hope it’s slow at work today so I can practice my latte art :)

Regular customer: Do you know all your customer's orders?

Me: Just the ones who aren't assholes.

And then my manager yelled at me.

(I probably deserved it. )
