Hey Megan-sounds like a rough night! Sorry that guy was a turd to you! At least you handled yourself well, and didn't hand his lovely attitude back-I definitely would have been tempted too, but it sounds like you held yourself together well. I have waited tables in a restaurant, worked as a cocktail waitress, worked retail as a manager, as a cashier, and a fitting room attendant, and BOY do I understand how you feel. The best part about a job like yours-and several of my former jobs-was that you get to see a lot of people in a short amount of time. For every annoying, grumpy, pain in the patoot customer, there are 2 really friendly, understanding, caring, bubbly customers that make it all worth it. Hang in there, and enjoy each interaction as they come, and try to learn from both the good and the bad experiences. |
