a customer went off on one of my coworkers earlier for trying to explain to her why an item seemed to be appearing more than once on her receipt
the woman was frothing at the mouth and our manager awarded her f---ing childish behavior with a five dollar gift card and told her our employees shouldn't be arguing with the customers
and this is exactly the type of "the customer is always right" bulls--- that enables a--holes to take advantage of their position of power over helpless people just trying to make a living -
that's another reason I'd like to make my career in music
you think ronnie radke's gonna get kicked out of fir for talking back when some little b---- tries to rain on his parade
no
in fact he'd probably get the internet equivalent of a standing ovation
I want a job wherein I feel safe speaking my mind and defending myself because I am
so
motherf---ing
tired
of smiling patiently and apologizing to dicks for their own stupid mistakes -
before I ever got my license I was told to never drive like Bro
and I said that I couldn't possibly, I was too afraid I might hurt someone
three years later and I race any car that seems to be edging past me
(I haven't lost one yet
although it got kinda close last time) -

hhhhh

I've just been thinking
-
maybe some part of me didn't like having everyone scared of me throughout high school
I always thought it was pretty nice
but I've never been able to explain why I act the way I do at work
the smiling, the joking around, calling everyone my friend,
and even my voice is different -
and it's not me
I'll go home and be right back to normal
that's not how I am
I've never understood what makes that happen -
but I'm thinking now, because when I'm angry, my shoulders get stiff, I stand up taller, I clench my fists, my eyes start to look dead and I stop showing any emotion at all
and I've been that way a few times
I've turned around and coworkers that normally smile at me shrink back
they look almost frightened
and when that happens I always feel guilty
I can't make myself not be angry anymore, but I feel the breath I've been holding leave me at last, I feel my hands straighten themselves out and my shoulders fall
I try to make myself smaller
I don't want to scare them, I guess?
I can't do anything about the face
if I try to move it at all I know I'll just do something stupid -
it's really easy to be nice to people
that might just be my mood speaking because I know I can be very unpleasant company when I'm in a low and I'm not the nicest person then
but even then I at least strive to do no harm
I don't understand why anyone would choose to actively put forth the effort to try and make people who haven't wronged them feel bad -
I!! LOVE!! MY!! FRIENDS!!
