Beware of the boomers with lil rascals.

Onto the rest of my weekend.

Yesterday another Geriatric Tuesday passed. It was full of mean elderly folk who threw tantrums (knocking things over if they didn’t get what they wanted as of 5 seconds before asking) and people who are unaware of their surroundings (elderly and young). I had one old lady ram my ass with her cart, then demanded yogurt. She got short with me when I told her I wasn’t sure (she was asking me something that I didn’t know, wasn’t my department) so I offered to help her find someone from that department and she just stamped off. I followed anyway just to see if there was anyone around. One of my co workers was stocking something and she asked her, he didn’t know either but offered the same thing that I did. THIS time she was polite (probably because he was a young guy but I digress).

Then there was this one dude that comes in from time to time. He pushes his little cart like he’s going to die tomorrow, and almost hits customers whenever he’s in the store. I had to help him find cookies that he said we didn’t have because he was too busy tweaking out to stop and READ THE FUCKING DISPLAY OF THEM.

If I ever get like that in my old age I hope someone has the right mind to drag me out into the street and beat me with a sack of hammers.

To these people the words love, care, and empathy have no place in a dictionary (not that they would bother reading one).

So I’m sure quite a few of you heard about the shooting in Colorado. One of the things that happened during the shootings was brave men giving their lives to save their wives or girlfriends. As tragic as it is, it was also very noble, honorable and heroic of them, and they will be remembered for it. This asshole of the century on the other hand has a different perspective.

So… These men lost their lives and these women lost the men they loved, and James Taranto is hoping they’re worthy of anything? What the hell is wrong with these people? I’ll bet this chicken shit would run out of the theater screaming like a little bitch.

I hope that one of these days that these women hopefully visit him to show him how “worthy” they are. Jesus Christ, of all the people that deserve to be drug out into the street and beaten with a salty glass covered club… People like him have no love or care in their heart.

It looks like I’m going to be sparse next week too.

Looked at my schedule for next week. I won’t be around much due to work.  On the bright side though I am getting more hours, unfortunately they’re all at the crack of dawn…

Speaking of ass cracks, that was a popular subject at work today… I don’t know why. I was only half coherent at the time, in fact I’m still feeling brain dead. But at least I was there physically.

With this sudden burst of work though I may have to take a “vacation” from producing reviews. I’ll try to think of something else though.

And then god said “let there be stupid”

Today it felt like being one survivor in a zombie apocalypse. I was surrounded by large hordes of people with glazed over eyes and people who have just left church. Honestly it felt like I was swimming through a pool of molasses.

We had a pretty bad storm this afternoon. People were talking about how it’s possible that the rapture may come early this year. I even had a customer ask me if we sold the bible in our store, which we don’t. Unless he wanted the one for children, but he was an old man so…

Oh the drama…

Though it was a short workweek I’m glad that I have the next 2 days off after today. Most of the day went alright but near the final ten minutes I was getting horded with customers and requests that could not be done because I was already performing a task with someone else.

My boss told a co worker and I to clean out the bottle return area as much as we could before we leave for the night. I carried the phone that people use to call someone like me so that I can check prices for them or fetch something or whatever. Two times I was called to do a price check (I guess… i didn’t even hear the 2nd ring because the equipment was so noisy). Kinda hard since we were both out of the building and there was literally no one for me to hand off to, even my boss was too busy with a project. One of my former bosses (and one of the many reasons why I transferred out of my old dept) was livid because no one in the entire store could answer. I’m so sorry that I have to listen to my boss who is not you…

I mean seriously, it’s not like I go around with my thumb up my ass at work. If that were the case they would have gotten rid of me a long time ago. if I was able to I would have done something about it… I don’t like the idea of working my ass off just to be yelled at. Think I’ll start off my 2 days off with some drinking and shooting (the drinking will come later into the night).

On the bright side I had a nice lunch hour with my laptop. Played some more portal and got some stares because of the ridiculously huge brightly lit laptop.

They don’t pay me enough…

I had to help a large woman into another motorized cart because the battery on the other one was almost dead. Even worse I had to help lift her up. It was like picking up a fucking boomer. She thanked me and told me that it’s so much easier to get around the store and that she hates walking. Noooo really?
