So yesterday, midday, during brunch, this guy walks around the bar towards the back of restaurant- where the men’s room is, and is ...incapable of locating the men’s room on his own?
Puliway
So he says something to the bartender, who had her back turned pouring mimosas and doesn’t hear him completely at first
Puliway
So she turns around to face him and asks how she can help him-
Puliway
Guy responds in the rudest fucking tone- and I’m repeating this verbatim
Puliway
“Well you don’t want me to go urinate in the kitchen , DO you?”
Puliway
Me and he bartender at this point exchange what the actual fuck looks. Because. What?
Puliway
She goes- “ex cuse me sir, you’re gonna do what ?”
The Fool
WTF
Puliway
“You don’t want me to go urinate in your kitchen if I can’t find the bathroom”
Puliway
.... uhhhhhhhh
Puliway
What kind of Trash person SAYS that in a fucking restaurant in front of strangers, stone cold sober on a Saturday morning?!
Puliway
Loud enough for people in a 15 foot radius to hear?
Puliway
This is a middle aged, respectably dressed man- speaking to a 28 yr old woman behind the bar, who has just politely asked how she can help him- and she gets this... not trying to be funny, but confrontationally inappropriate one liner
Puliway
What EVEN
Puliway
What Possessed this guy to phrase his needs that way
Puliway
So somehow Suzanne managed to point him to the bathroom before wheeling around to me and about three other people with her arms spread and this- DID I JUST HEAR THAT RIGHT? look of grossed out horror on her face
papermint tiger
oh my god
papermint tiger
who even does that kind of thing
Puliway
I mean even if you really had to go, what kind of jackass actually threatens to go pee in a restaurant kitchen if someone doesn’t show him to the bathroom in the next 3 seconds
Puliway
U vile hooman
papermint tiger
go pee behind a dumpster, where you belong
The Fool
people are fucking weird and yes, vile
The Fool
wtf
The Fool
Most of our rude ones are middle aged men or old people, too, and like...
The Fool
on holidays, they all act like it's OUR FAULT they are shopping on a holiday?
The Fool
They get super upset that it's busy or like... bitch specifically about HAVING TO WAIT ON MOTHER'S DAY DO YOU THINK I WANT TO SPEND MY MOTHER'S DAY LIKE THIS???
The Fool
it's weird as fuck
papermint tiger
not to mention the people who get angry you're open on a holiday and you just want to be like 'why do you think we're open now'
papermint tiger
'if you guys shopped in a timely manner and no one went to the store on holidays we wouldn't be'
The Fool
RIGHT???
The Fool
and there's always someone who comes super late, because they were busy doing shit with their family, you know?
The Fool
And then they're like I COULDN'T COME EARLIER, I WAS BUSY WITH MY FAMILY
The Fool
and it's past closing time but they want you to help them anyway, or you're obviously cleaning and they want you to hurry to help them, and it's like
The Fool
... that's great, good for you, you spent the holiday with your family and now you want me to feel bad for you that you can't get your deli meat?
The Fool
-.-
papermint tiger
i wonder if it ever occurs to them that they could go to the store the next day
The Fool
I WONDER
The Fool
it's just weird as fuck, how much ruder people get
The Fool
and it's interesting to note like... who they are the most rude to?
The Fool
Like, my male coworker gets way less attitude from customers than I do, for instance
The Fool
-.-
The Fool
(except like, the customers who call me 'sir', who are almost always nicer than the ones who call me 'ma'am')
The Fool
But like, when it's me and my manager working together, we get WAY more shit from customers than when it's me and Travis
The Fool
And it's just like... AGGGH
The Fool
I really didn't need shit from people on a holiday I already have to work? Jeez.
The Fool
IDK Mother's Day is sketchy for me anyway, and then people being rude to me just... ugh.
The Fool
But my manager worked with me so I wouldn't have to close alone (she left just half an hour before I did!)
The Fool
And I bought marked down strawberry shortcake on the way out
curieosity。
yay discount treats
sparky ⚡
SACRIFICE THEM TO THE SPIDER QUEEN
The Fool
sparky ⚡
better yet they go to the special hell where they have to serve an infinite line of themselves
The Fool
I just really like... DON'T GET IT
The Fool
Like, maybe I'm naïve or something? Or just too nice?
sparky ⚡
with no manager on duty for backup
The Fool
(my coworkers say I am too nice)
The Fool
But I just don't understand AT ALL why people care more about their fucking deli meat than human beings?
sparky ⚡
You are incredibly nice.
The Fool
I never understand being rude to anyone unless they're like... actually doing something wrong?
The Fool
I don't even get rude with people who make mistakes on my orders places, you know? Because they're human beings.
The Fool
But people get rude EVEN WHEN YOU DO YOUR JOB PROPERLY
The Fool
And it's never the people who just... don't know how to do the transaction.
The Fool
I get those sometimes! People who are awkward or just bad at social or don't really know what they're doing, so they'll be kind of weird? And those are fine and understandable.
The Fool
But it's the regular customers who are rude who are like... the biggest problem?
The Fool
The people who think that because they come there a lot, they shouldn't ever have to wait - even when there's an obvious line - or you should be able to do things exactly how they want them, even when your slicer won't cut that thin without shredding, or whatever.

There are people who just. Are kindness vampires who seek to ruin everything good. :|
