I hate my job...that's why I put in my two weeks notice yesterday. sweatdrop I was sick and tired of being told I couldn't have a few days off that I needed. They wouldn't give me four hours off to go see my grandmother when we thought she was dying in the hospital. And then they wouldn't let me have time off to go to my in-laws surprise 25th aniversary party that we had been helping to plan for four months, and I asked four months in advance!
They wouldn't let me have either time (even though I called in sick both times xd ) because they gave it to the same woman to go to this religious confernce she goes to once a month!!
Needless to say, I was out of there. And I'm now searching again. I miss my old job at the pet store... crying

That's pretty cruddy. Is the pet store the job that you're talking about, or a prior one? At my store, I have to deal with old people in large numbers. I actually think I feel them sapping my vitality. They hassle me over 20 effin' cents. So I act real nice, bag their stuff, and put it in their cart. What they don't realize until they leave is that I bag that stuff so heavy, they'll very likely dislocate something putting it in their old, rickety cars.
The pet store was a prior job. I worked there for four years before moving out of state for college. I was jobless for my first year and a half and then I caught (what I thought was) a lucky break at the local Rite-Aid. Boy was I wrong. I got hassled about everything from things being over-priced to people missing the weekly sales. I even had one lady flip a cart upside down in front of my because she thought I was accusing her of shoplifting (which I wasn't, but that one was actually kind of funny). And the worst was always the men who'd buy condoms and think it was mandatory for them to make some perverted comment. I'd kill them all if I could....at 7.25 an hour, it just wasn't worth it...
I don't even want to -think- about college just yet. I've got my senior year of highschool to slack through, and I won't be working at Shop-Rite by the end of it. I had two ladies fight. Sunday starts the new sales for the week, so they're always hectic. Two full grown women started cussing each other out for some obscure reason. I've gotten a little ticked with customers' rude behavior. Since I've worked there, I've always tried to leave as much of my personality at the door as possible. Now I kinda fudge that rule, and am rude to customers who are rude to me. And I've also invented the "Make customers feel uncomfortable" Game. Good times.
