Wait, am I reading that wrong? Was it the old lady, or the head cashier who didn't blame you for the perceived grudge-holding? I mean, I know the stereotype is that Canadians are super-polite, but if the cranky old lady complaining about you is understanding about it...

The head cashier. Some Canadians aren't THAT polite, especially not the ones that demand you mark stuff down.

Ah, I see!

In MY JOB news, today marks the first day that I'll be able to work without a dopey trainee following me around everywhere. Maybe I'll actually make some apprehensions today!

They did a study and it turns out that bitter, old women customers are objectively the most annoying person possible, ranking in just above 16 year old girls, 13 year old boys, and 1st year psyche majors of any age or gender (which are all tied for 2nd)

But seriously, I have, say, fifty or so "annoying customer" stories from my years as a waitress, and like fucking thirty of them are old ladies who have nothing better to do than make your life as fucking miserable as possible.

I'd hate them a lot more if I didn't know how unhappy they were.

Also: a few days ago, we caught a lady who claimed the only reason she was shoplifting was because she couldn't find a job, because she was, in her words, "computer illegitimate".

I learned that my boss is apparently unhappy with my performance.

No, she didn't say anything directly to me. She told my one friend who used to work there and is applying for a position.

Store leader has left or been fired under mysterious circumstances (nobody who I have talked to knows what's up) a week ago or so, and now my direct manager has accepted a position elsewhere. Everyone who can track my meteoric rise from total novice to total competence is leaving! :(

Note seen on an account today: "Female put me on power hold"

No other words, no context, just that. That double-space was somehow very conspicuous.

On my final check of the booth on my way out of the theatre today I noticed that one of the motors on one of our table racks had gone tits up at some point. I hadn't used that table when I projected today because the movie we're opening tomorrow was on it the whole day, as my boss had done build up this morning before I got there. Well I looked at the table motor for a few minutes and was like, "I can fix this." Went to my car, got my tools, came back inside and made that table motor my absolute bitch. Man, being handy makes you feel like an absolute super hero when you can do something nice with it! :D

Long story short, I made my bosses job a hell of a lot easier tomorrow morning. Maybe now William will stop making fun of me for carrying a full ratchet and wrench set in my car at all times.

Man, I dunno how handy I can really call myself, but having ready tools is sweet.

Shiiiiiiiiit son, no joke, I carry a full ratchet and wrench set on my motorbike*.

_{*Plus a set of Allan keys, multihead screwdrivers, oil wrench, WD40, assorted other tools I can't remember, and the original stock special tool kit that came with the bike}

Oh what the hell, I'll just post it.

If he's making fun of you for that, it's he who is the tool, not the ratchet and wrench set!

Seriously, cars should just come with a toolset in the back as a standard feature, with a spot dug out in the trunk by the manufacturer.

Hell, I'm not even remotely handy and I keep one multitool in my bag and another in my car.

Also holy balls you guys I'm still in training. They didn't just show me my workstation and tell me to get to work. I will know what my job is and how to do it before I start!

Seriously that like never happens.
