Not even sure if I should start, 'cause I hate my job a lot. This could get rambly, feel free to skip how much ever you please.

First off, I'm a computer guy. However, I work in a goddamn cafe, 'cause I got the job to make it through Tech school, and haven't been able to find a 'real' job yet. I just got turned down for my last, last ditch effort, and I'm now applying for a..... sales job. Anyway. Here goes.

People who make stupid faces when looking at the menu.

People who, when I ask if they want their receipt, say something like, "No, you can keep it."

People who give coupons after I've finished ringing the order up, so I have to cancel the transaction and start all over. Fuck I hate that.

People who don't decide what they want until they've gone through the line, and proceed to hold up the line for 10 minutes while making stupid faces at the menu board, then decide they want 'Pepsi please' (We sell Coke.)

People who ask me, "Do you sell coffee here?" (It's a frigging CAFE!)

People who pick up my "Recycling only" sign, move it aside, then proceed to throw non-recyclable things into my recycling bin.

People who don't tip. Fucking bastards. (As a side, if you don't tip waiters/waitresses/barristas/just about anyone doing you a service.... I probably hate you.)

Co-workers who've been there for more than a month and -still- don't know how to do their jobs.

People who can't bother to be to work on time. I'm a lazy, lazy bastard, and I'm at work early every day.

People who can't pronounce things properly, even though I've corrected them before and it's the only way to logically pronounce it.

People who change their orders.

People who try to tell me that I'm making something wrong.

People who ask for extras in their drinks after they've been rung up.

People who pay for everything in change.

People who pay with huge bills first thing in the morning. (I won't even accept 50's and laugh if they try a 100$)

People who act like their doing me a favour by coming to my job and being assholes.

Assholes.

People that are twice the age of my female coworkers, and try to flirt with them.

People.

My boss' inability to keep the most basic supplies in stock, even though she's been doing this for over 3 months now.

My boss.

Name tags.

Strangers who call me by my name tag. I fucking hate that.

People who desparately want to be 'regulars', but are too stupid/anal/assholish/etc to ever be accepted.

When people don't know what something is, order it without asking me what it is, and then proceed to try to make me make something else because they hate it.

People who use Starbucks' terms at the Border's Cafe.

The fact that the people of this 'city' have nothing better to do on a friday night than to come to a book store's cafe and hang out.

People who hang out at the cafe for longer than my shift.

Yeah. I'm done now. I could go on, but it's getting boring, I'm sure.
