Humanity...
I generally like people. I'm told I'm a people person. Friendly, amiable, funny etc etc. But I don't suffer fools. And because of this, I am in the wrong job.
Tonight, for example, I was so rude to a customer, I'm surprised I still have a job. Thing is, she fucking asked for it.
Stupid Customer: And I'll have a cabernet sauvignon and a pinot grigio.
Exhausted Insano: Large or small?
SC: Large please.
EI: Okie Dokie...*proceeds to pour requested drinks and places them infront of SC. She looks at the cabernet sauvignon with confusion*
SC: No, I wanted the white one.
EI: The white one? Oh! Right. Cabernet means red. You asked for a cabernet sauvignon as opposed to the sauvignon blanc...blanc meaning white.
*SC's jaw drops open*
EI: Don't worry. I'll change it for you. But, would you like the white pinot grigio as opposed to the red pinot grigio that we stock?
SC: You should have checked with me first.
EI: Yeah, because we sells bottles of white cabernet sauvignon. Listen, if you don't know your pinot grigio from your pinot noir, you have no business drinking wine.
*SC's mouth flaps open and closed, very much akin to a fish, pays quickly and marches off.*
Joe, the assistant manager whom I have no regard for tells me after work that he never wants to hear me speak to a customer like that again.
Fair enough, but she was a complete idiot.
Fine. I plead severe PMS.
And so my general opinion of the human race just fell another five notches!
