Elucidating Questions

Why do I always love things everyone hates?

Not everything I love is what everyone hates

But damn, I pick them

I don’t even know I do

I like this thing

And then someone comes along to tell me how hated it is

Sorry

Again, I guess

Today was tame

People are back to buying stupid amounts of stuff

But it’s the season

And a bunch of things that our store was doing have once again been changed against our favour

My ability to give discounts has basically been gutted

And now I have to say no to customers

And I still haven’t heard anything about my accommodations

That they took away because it was “against store policy”

Forced me to get a form filled out for them

But they’ll take their time now that they have it

By the way the accommodation was me getting two fifteen minute breaks two hours apart instead of a thirty minute break

They’ve decided this is undue hardship

And my manager hates me as much as I hate her

Good

Saw her roll her eyes when I reminded her I needed to be off at exactly 2

Because I have a bus to catch that won’t wait and may come early

It was over walkie, so she didn’t see me seeing her

She was off yonder and I just so happened to see

It’s funny she’ll remind me I have to clock in at exactly 10, but I’m off at 2 and before this I was often not getting to clock out until 10 minutes later

And they don’t pay you for 10 minutes

So bye bye my time, but yours is sacred?

Fuck you and the institution you stand with

No concern for how my time has value

Or that I have a life to live after my shift

Man, life is fucked

I wish I could say this to her face

Into the web with it

My life and my time are not important to the business

So why exactly am I supposed to be loyal to this thing?

And she’s making fucking 3 minute long speeches over the walkie about increasing loyalty, while I’m stuck waiting for her to shut the fuck up so I can get a price check for one of those god damn loyalty customers!

You people are a cancer on the stores you claim to run

These stores run in spite of and despite you

Customer and employee alike hate you, head office, hate you, corporate bootlickers

Like fuck off I could do my job just fine for the year before your crusty ass took over store manager

But apparently increased sales wasn’t a good enough sign that things were going fine

It just wasn’t enough, was it?

Fuck

I don’t know, I started somewhere and now I’m here

And now I’m here, what am I doing here?

You don’t even know where I am now I haven’t described it

This isn’t where I want to be
