So it's been a week since I talked to myself on Tumblr.. blogged and I'm trying to remember what I did this week. I worked with my abusive boss, all alone and she sent me home for DOING MY JOB. I was glad to go. Hope she enjoyed one other cashier and her doing all the work. I know I did... A week before Christmas:)

My #Caryl related week was limited. I watched the beginning of Acheron part 1 on Frevee because it makes me tear up with happy tears. Daryl following Carol while she goes back for the MRE's, he refuses to take his eyes off of her, Why can't we have this in the spin off? Why Norman, Why? And his reaction when she hands him back the knife. We deserved an entire spinoff of this. I mean I miss this SO MUCH.

I don't know why but I have this yearning to watch the Cave episode again. I'm starting to forget details. I'll have access to Netflix again in a few weeks but I really want to be so over this show (Thanks a lot, NORMAN!)

Stranger Things PART 2 is coming out on Christmas. There's been a lot of Stancy stuff on my timeline lately. I am not a Stancy fan (Steve deserves better) I will admit the chemistry is still there. The look she gave him when he accidentally touched her hand and we know he's still in love with her. I don't know. There is so much hate for season 5 but I really enjoyed it. I like seeing Hopper and 11. I wish there was more Hopper and Joyce. I enjoy Steve and Dustin and I will defend Steve until the day I did. He has always been there for everyone and they are so ungrateful. I have no interest in Will but I 100% agree the ending should be about him. I like all the kids but Dustin is my favorite. I hate Ericka and her bad attitude (I grew up in the 80s. NO parent would have let her get away with that 2025 attitude she has) but it was weird how little of her there was in season 5. For me, I want the show to be about the original characters ...Steve, Hopper, Joyce, The 4 boys (Lucas, Dustin, Will, Mike) and Nancy (I hate Jonathon so I'm not adding him) and I think Sadie should be added to this list but the rest i have no interest in.

And I still need to get back to #Tiva WE NEED A SEASON 2

I HATE Retail.

So, quick summary.

This old lady comes in and my coworker spots her first. She tells the lady to give her just a second bc she was helping someone else. I enter the paint pit and saw the lady and asked if she needed help. The lady was talking to me in Spanish and I had to tell her, "One second, let me get someone to translate"

I maybe spanish, but I dont speak a lick of it. Only Japanese.

So, as Im calling someone to come over and translate, the women huffs and leaves. Like okay? The translator comes over, spots the woman two aisles away and we are trying to motion her over. We can only take orders at the one computer.

The lady refuses to move and demands we get her white paint. So the translator is asking her, "What brand? How shiny?" the normal questions. This lady still demands in a rude fucking tone just white paint.

Finally, my coworker comes over and tells the lady that we have to take the order on the computer. We cant read minds like wtf. So the lady storms over and demands white paint. AGAIN we keep asking for shine and whatnot. This takes 4 minutes bc she keeps telling us to just grab something.

We can't do that. The customer needs to be the only to pick. So finally she slams her finger on Eggshell. So I go to grab a gallon, then she bitches about a 5-gallon. So I go to grab the 5 gallon, shake it up and told her husband it was ready befpre helping my coworker out with her 6 5-gallon order.

Fast forward 10 min, one of my managers comes to me and asks if I yelled at a lady and gave her the wrong paint. I explained everything to him and NO WHERE IN THE CONVO DID THE LADY SAY CEILING PAINT.

LIKE THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY AND PAINT.

So he drops it bc the lady was being dramatic about how she was gonna faint bc we yelled at her. Blah blah blah

Fast forward like an hour. Im helping a different customer and I see a different manager by paint. I ignore it until this lady storms in front of me and my customer and says,

"YOU NEED TO PICK ON SOMEBODY YOUR OWN SHAPE AND SIZE! HOW FUCKING DARE YOU INSULT AND SCREAM AT MY MOTHER! YOU ARE DISGUSTING-"

"Ma'am, I have no idea what you're talking about," I try to tell her.

"DON'T YOU GIVE ME THAT SHIT. YOU TREAT MY MOM LIKE SHIT YOU FUCKING BITCH. YOU ARE FUCKING RUDE AND DISGUSTING SO FUCK YOU!"

"Fuck you too." I snapped bc who the FUCK does this bitxh think she is?

Even my customer was shocked. I then saw the lady from earlier fucking crying. Like are you actually shitting me?

I GET YELLED AT! I GET TREATED LIKE SHIT BUT GOD FORBID I SAY SOMETHING!

IF I SAY SOMETHING THEN I'M IN THE WRONG.

I was seething. I called my supervisor and she stormed over along with another manager. Note, the daughter is HUNTING for my coworker and the translator bc she needs to fight someone.

Honey, you're mom is a fucking liar and she isnt a saint.

Once they left the managers all came to me to ask what happened and I just started crying. Like they will always take the customer's side no matter how wrong they are. I only said one thing to the fucking lady and that was I was getting a translator, but yet Im the one who gets cussed out?

I'm not mad about being yelled at. Im more mad that I cpuldnt say anything back. Bc all these companies only care about the customer.

They treat the customers like gods and we just have to shut up and take their shit like we're ants. Im sick of it. Im sick of all of it.

I'm sorry, unpopualr opinion, but customer service doesnt mean shit. You're either going to buy at the store you are going to or your not. We need to stop treating customers like they are angels bc it just fuels their entilted behavior.

I need a fucking drink now.

Thanks for letting me vent. Have a great day.

Don't be a Dick pt. 2 If I make a posting saying my job is hiring, maybe try not to shit on it. I didn't ask you to work here, I'm trying to help anyone that may need a job. Does anyone really like their job? No. Do we all need to pay the bills? Yes. So don't be a Dick eh? #dontbeadick #blakminirants #retailproblems #retailsucks

"Are you afraid A.I. is going to take your job?"

My first thought - "No, nothing replaces that feeling old people get from yelling at people like me. A computer can't cry"
