I think I must have dumbed down my emotions to successfully carry out my job, I'm in the service industry and generally consider myself to be a very patient person. But, I'm so scared I may have lost sight of what is owed to me as a living being, in the way of basic manners and respect.
I get all sorts of shitty comments at work, If someone's having a bad day, they take it out on me because they know it’s my job to smile and say 'yes madam'. If someone got the piss taken out of them at work by the suck up guy who cant do his job properly but stole their promotion anyway, they'll vent at me because I'm there to serve them. If someone is unhappy where they are in life and feels they are incredibly hard done by, guess who gets the snotty remarks and the demeaning looks?
As hard as it may be to believe I've grown pretty used to the above, a) because I get paid to ignore it and b) because if it was that bad I wouldn't do it. However, when it really does incense me is when I'm not prepared for it, this morning eating breakfast out was a prime example. Cut a long story short, evil bitch whore next to me being stupendously rude to the waiter. God I wanted to slap her so hard. Nearly did infact.
I hope I never ever ever get like that. Quite frankly I would rather die.
