And as many of you know, I got nothing against gay folks. I know you are born this way. I have gay folks I consider as friends. I was friends with a guy in college who was gay. Our friends circle knew it, he knew we knew. He's now married to a lovely man. I even went to his wedding. I offered to perform it, but his husband had a family member who wanted to officiate.
No, an asshole is an asshole no matter your sexuality.
I was at a restaurant and had a wait for a while for my food to go. And that's fine. It means the food will be fresh. And the person I dealt with, well, I've had to deal with him before.
I understand that the service industry is having a hard time finding workers. I know the place I was at has had a sign seeking workers for months now.
But when this employee brought me my food, he acted like he was mad he even had to bring it to me.
He flipped, in the air, my sack of food towards me.
Luckily, I caught it.
No thank you, come back, kiss my foot, or nothing as he tossed me my food. Tossed it like I was a dog waiting for a ball.
By the time I got to my vehicle, I was ready to grab the bat in my backseat, go back in and whack the hell out of the employee's knee....numerous times.
But, I didn't want to go to jail.
I was already upset because the clerk at check out was mad because I had paid my $7.89 in exact change. And it wasn't like hey were busy, there were only 3 other patrons in the store. No one was behind me in line.
I don't know, my wife and I were at a restaurant in the Walden Road area of Beaumont and our waitress didn't say " thank you" or " Come again" or anything when she left us our check. And this is a fairly nice restaurant. And once again, it was maybe 1/3rd full. ( Mid-afternoon) She didn't check on us, did offer to re-fill our drinks, ( And we needed something, and finally, I got up and got what we needed from the front) just abandoned us until it was time to leave and even then, we had to wait for our check. ( Normally we give 18-20% tip. Not this time, she got a blistering 4%....Sorry, you got to earn the tip, not just 'expect' it.)
( BTW- Told my wife we should try " Twin Peaks.") I was told "No" " Don't want you to have a heart attack." )
Are we so short workers employees can act how the hell ever they want?
(Or are young people not being taught basic manners? Or are we that entitled now we can treat customers however we want?)
No thank you, yes ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir, no sir?
I had plenty of bad jobs in my youth, but always was nice to people, even if I did not want to be there.
But toss food at people.
I'm still mad.
Maybe we need a financial collapse. Make people appreciate they have a job?
