Working with the General Public ~ the dilemma and a reason why

Possibly the worst job in the world is any job that makes you deal with a customer without ten inches of thick glass between you and the customer, and elephant tranquilizer darts. Why? For some reason when people step into a store, they slip into this invisible void that sucks the intelligence out of their brains. They immediately forget how to act and how to avoid irritating questions. Their sole purpose of entering that store is not to buy something, but to give you a hard time and screw up the register. By screw up the register I mean they say they want something, you ring it up, and then they decide that item isn’t to their liking, or decide to get something for less money cause they are cheap disease- ridden.....cheapskates. Being that coming to a place during the wea hours of the morning already disturbs me, now I have to deal with the public, who drive me into further irateness. Whether it be touching the glass just to smudge it, asking inane satanic-driven questions, or just the mere presence of a sub-human insensitive jerk who can’t understand that the reason I’m giving yes or no answers is simply because they smell like cow feces. No, I don’t want to make small talk about how your wife/husband is leaving you for your teenage next door neighbor and why this purchase will indefinitely effect your future. I could actually care less. The mentally of the public has gone down the drain since the beginning of the Bush election. I have spoken my piece.
