Welp, here's my blog

[seized]

this is my cat sylvester. he was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and my family does not have enough money to pay for his vet bills. if you guys could help me out by donating here or just reblogging that would mean the world to me. every penny counts. tysm <3

[seized]

Unfortunately Sylvester hasn’t been doing so well lately. He was doing really well about a month ago but he has recently been losing weight and vomiting more often. I feel bad for asking for donations but I have no other option. My family has recently fallen into another financial sink hole and it is getting harder for us to pay for his treatment. I want to take him to the vet for more blood work to see what is going on and to see if there is other medication available for him. He is my best friend and I am not ready to give up on him. I want to thank everyone so much for donating and sharing my post. You have all helped him come this far and if it weren’t for you I don’t think he would be here today.

Me: *scans two items* Me: “Your total is $5.10” Customer: *with attitude* “Uh, I thought those were 2 for $5.00??!!!” Me: … Customer: … Me: “…that’s the tax.”

me at work when a customer tries to get wild

[that-cashier-life]

Customer: “Do you have the chip reader?“ Me: “Yes, but they don’t work yet. You have to swipe the card.” Customer: *laughs* “What DOES work around here?”

SO done

[that-cashier-life]

*customer starts to leave my register* Customer: “So, do I just leave the cart here?” Me: “uh…I can take it….” Customer: “Never mind, I’ll take care of it.” Why do some people act like they’ve never been to a grocery store before?? This guy was at least in his 50s……

When the customer is already swiping a credit card and I haven’t even unlocked the register yet

Does anyone else go to a different location of the store you work at to do your grocery shopping just so you don’t technically have to go to work on your day off

When customers snatch the bags from my hands before I have a chance to let go

[jessiedoodles]

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me

[fuck-customers]

I’ve always wanted a show where they just went to a store and picked like 5 of the worst customers they observed and the cashiers they harassed and have them switch (not revealing the switch). So they put those awful customers behind a register for a week and then sometime toward the end of the week the cashier they harassed will come in and treat them exactly how they treated the cashier. That show would be guaranteed tears and the would kill ratings wise. I would watch every episode.

One time I used my retail voice on a coworker and she was like, “Don’t use your customer voice on me, I know you’re dead inside like the rest of us, it’s just frightening and weird”

[1980sbusinesswoman]

The other day I asked for a table for two in my customer voice and the waitress squinted at me and I cleared my throat and said “Sorry, still in service mode” and she dropped hers and we swapped stories about our day and my boyfriend was like “You two just became two entirely different people in like .5 seconds…”

[gritsinmisery]

I can be bitching up a blue streak about a customer-from-hell while the store is empty, and when the phone rings swap over to my retail voice practically in mid-sentence. I even have managers and salespeople from other stores in the chain fooled into thinking I’m infinitely friendly and helpful, and my manager’s husband thinks I’m one of the most professional people in the store. One assistant manager’s daughter dubbed me Perky-Pants because she mostly dealt with me over the phone, and was shocked to the core when I dropped an F-bomb at her graduation picnic.

The acting required in the service industry is beyond the pale. My cousin freaked out when she came to see me at work because I was all smiling and nice while helping someone who was asking inane questions and who basically forced me to walk them to the product and put it in their fucking hand but I was nice as pie until I turned around to walk away and my demeanor changed back to normal and I muttered “what a fucking moron” under my breath as I got back to my cousin. She just looked at me shocked and said “no wonder you’re so exhausted when you get home.”

this is actually referred to as emotional labor in criminology, and is considered one of the hardest forms of labor

The art of bullshit is strong in the service industry
