Horrible, Just Horrible..

I probably had the worst work experience i've ever had.  Usually when I encounter... interesting... people, I just laugh it off later, but I was so irritated today by all the dumbfuckery of rude and obnoxious people.

This one guy came in wanting to buy 11 dozen cupcake sized cakes.  I went to the back to gather 7 more boxes from the back, as the case in the front had 4 already there.  When I came out the guy had asked me if we were able to give him a separate box.  I went to the back to ask if that were possible and they told me to tell the guy that we can't do that since the cakes will probably topple over since the boxes are so big.  I came back out and told him but he said he was willing to take the risk.  I said I was sorry that were not able to do so and he started to get irate, telling me that he's buying 11 dozen of our cakes so why can't he do that.  Again I had apologized and, of course yelling AT me, he tells me forget it and walks out angry.  As if its such a big deal...

This one lady kept asking me questions.  I wouldn't mind so much since I like talking to the customers, but when she was asking really obnoxiously.  She kept asking the same questions over and over again, not only that, she insisted on seeing the decorations in person, even tho we do have images of them on the cakes already. She also kept asking about having a box for the cake or making sure the cake was wrapped.  It was just chaos with this lady.  And when she asked me about seeing the decorations in person, she took a good 5-10 min talking to someone else even though I was standing right there waiting to show her what she had JUST asked for. 

The lady that she was talking to also got on my nerves.  She kept asking questions as well, but even more obnoxious questions.  Which cakes are fresh (um all of them)?  Which cakes were just recently made (umm.. really.. all of them)?  What are the ingredients, What chocolate do we use, where are the ingredients coming from, blah blah blah. its like... come on lady really?  If you got a problem with it, then make your own damn cake.

The last lady that came in right before I was done with my shift was the WORST of the day.  Coming in with a coupon for another store, she told me she was able to use it here.  I questioned her twice about it and the more I asked, I could tell she was getting irritated.  I asked my boss and she told me it was alright and the lady started gloating like "SEE, I TOLD YOU I COULD USE IT HERE!!" and she was basically telling my boss that I was giving her problems, but why is it my problem for questioning her for coming in to our store with another stores coupon.  Even though she told me my boss said it was ok, well my boss didnt tell me, how am I supposed to know if its alright or not.  First of all, you didnt have to give me attitude, second you didn't have to gloat and third, you didnt have to be so rude about it the whole time and snatch the bag out of my hands.

That lady was seriously the customer of the day and I swear that I was ready to say something I shouldnt right when I clocked out.  Ive never had such a worse day on a job.... I couldn't wait to leave for the day.

Another Crazy Thursday...

Why are my Thursdays always so damn crazy?  I swear..

I'll get back to that after, but let's start with Tuesday.
Monday night I checked to see if i had to do jury duty, but the listing didn't call my number, however it told me to check back the next day.  Checked back the next day and OH... look at that, got to go to the courthouse... omg... i'm at work and I got called in for jury duty.  what a fuckin bitch.  I wasted 2.5 hours waiting around in the room to see where i'd go and shit.. and in the end I was dismissed because i'm heading to Seattle next week.

Anyways.. that was my crazy ass tuesday.. my crazy ass thursday is having all these crazy ass customers coming in. 
1) I got a lady waiting outside the door for me to open
2) I got a frantic lady who put up with 3 transactions because she was doing last minute shopping and kept picking up random shit..
3) I got 2 ladys coming in here with 2 little girls tearing up the store.
4) I get some elder lady coming in here looking for the Japanese restaurant, then she's asking me what I ordered from the Filipino restaurant before, only to sound disgusted to what I said I've eaten from there before.. it's like.. don't ask then.
5) lastly (so far) I got asked at least 3 times today if we moved here from the mall.  We did, but not from the mall you're asking about.  Don't remind me about that one..

rooooooooooooar.. i'm so glad that i'm about to be off soon.. but that was one crazy 3.5 hours! OMG!

Awkward Moments..

So 4 grown men come in and one guys like "How much is EEEVERYTHING in this store?" umm... I wouldn't know dude..

Then he comes up to the counter and listens to the music I have up

Him: Is this Japanese?
Me: Yeah..
Him: You Japanese?
Me: Nope... I'm Filipino..
Him: Oh yeah? So you can't understand this?
Me: I can understand a little bit..
Him: Oh yeah? You Filipino?  You ever try that Filipino Restaurant?
Me: Yeah, it's pretty good..
Him: What do you usually get?
Me: The sisig.. (btw, I've only ate there ONCE and I tried the sisig LOL)
Him: Oh yeah? Was it off the hook?
Me: Yeah, it was pretty good..
Him: You try the ribeye one or regular
Me: Just regular (I thought sisig was only made of pork?)
Him: Oh yeah? Gotta try it next time!
Me: ......... (dot dot doooooot)

HAHAHAHA At this point I'm thinking to myself that these guys needa get outta here!

Just a couple more hours until I leave, then I'm heading to the A's game and to Alameda after.  Woooo Family fun!! gotta love it

GIRL MAGIC!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA *DIES*
I swear, the funniest shit happened today at work..

so this guy, who I've seen before, comes in and he's all amazed at how the store has filled up and starts touching everything.  He starts asking questions about stuff, like what everything is and how much they are.  Then he looks at me and tells me that he loves my necklace and wants it.... ok.....

then he proceeds and picks up a keycap of a pink panda (or bear, but i told him it was a panda XD) and asks me:
Him: do you know what my friends have nicknamed me?
Me: (umm......you're really asking me that sir?) don't tell me.. is it panda?
Him: they call me .. STRAWBERRY PANDA!
Me: *smiles* oh really? that's..................... cute

My music started playing Kaja Goo Goo's "Too Shy" and he's like.. Oh this song is before your time isnt it?
Me: Not really, i was born in the 80's..
Him: You were born in '80?!
Me: no no no nooo... I was born in 1986..
Him: oh, so you're about 24 years old huh?
Me: almost...
Him: That's a good age to be.. 24.. you just have to be careful or you might lose your GIRL MAGIC...
Me: *smiles* oh yeah?
Him: Yeah... I think girls are ALLL living Gods.
Me: *smiles* ...... well thanks.....

AHHAHAHA OMGGG  Best conversation ever!!!  Totally made my day, but that fool is such a creeper... *shuders*

Work Stories..

Like always, I have something to mention that goes on at work, whether it's something funny or annoying.

It's only 12 and ive been here for an hour, and already I have so much to say haha.

The first people that came in was a mother with her 2 kids.  The oldest daughter just kept whining over random crap and I was getting hella irritated.
girl: Moooooom! why are we in here?
mom: just to look..
girl: but whhhyyyyy................................. I WANT MY OWN PEN!

short attention span hahaha.
She ended up getting her own pen.. but when i put that pen in a bag she went another step to annoy me
girl: es-cuse me... es-cuse me..... can you put my things in my bag?
me: what things?
*stands to the side of me with her coin purse*
girl: can you put this in my bag too?
me: uhh.. sure?

HAHA im sure it'd be cute if she hadn't already annoyed me with her whining earlier XD

This old man came straight into the store, which i had no idea why... looked around then left without saying anything o_O creeper haha

Then this other guy came in after him and looked around a bit as well
man: umm.. do you sell the clothes for the dolls?
me: no sorry..
man: oh... umm.. do you know which stores have them?
me: pretty much all of them except ours

HAHAHAHAHA we both started laughing.. sorry guy XD

School and Work

February 13, 2010

It's about 3 weeks into the spring semester.  As a science major, it's pretty much midterm season already.  First ones coming up on Monday and already my concentration to studying just isnt there.  I REALLY do want to study, but I tend to get distracted easily (facebook, twitter, youtube..)... what to do?

Works going fine, though there isn't much of rush.  It's such a change from the mall.  There's never a big rush of people at once and theres a huge gap of time before the next person will come in.
Working at night is kind of trippy though.  I can't see outside, but people outside could see in (and vice versa in the day).  I see the inner reflection of the store, with hints of outside life.. so im actually not sure if anyones actually looking in or not.  It's freaky!

I'm ready to update the travel log, but i dont have my notebook with me.  I'll go ahead and do that tomorrow for Day 2.  I'm trying to find a way to do live video feeds, or at least a method for me to send a video from my phone to the internet without having a size or time limit.
I'll keep an eye out for that one!
