Work

Well, since all I did yesterday was work, I will post some of the things that I notice about people, in general, while at work. If you didn't already know, I am a slurpee engineer at 7-11. I don't actually make the slurpees, I design them. And by design them I mean I ring them up at the counter. Anyways, I see around 1,000 people a day, and let me tell you, when you see that many people a day, you start to notice a lot of things.

To start off, I notice that some people like to leave their car running in the parking lot. I can sort of understand this in the wintertime, but in the summertime, it makes very little sense. For one, somebody could easily steal their car, especially at nighttime. I mean, they usually leave their windows open, it is like an open invitation for someone to take their car. For two, have you seen the price of gas lately? I know that it doesn't waste much gas, but still, it does waste gas. Is it really that hard to shut the damn engine off? Sure, it saves you the hassel of starting your car again, and maybe that actually wastes more gas than leaving it running, but I'd rather potentially waste gas than have my car stolen. You know what I mean?

I also notice that everyone has a God damn cell phone. Little four year old girls walk in sometimes, talking on their cell phone. Probably setting up a hot date for later on that night, no doubt. I am being a little dramatic here, but you get the point. Now the fact that everyone has a cell phone doesn't bother me as much as my next observation. Many people do not have the common courtesy to get of their cell phone when they get up to the counter. It is as if they are the most important person in the world, and they want the whole store to know. Whenever someone does this, I don't say a word to them, I just ring them up, take their money, and send them on their merry little way. It might sound like I'm being a prick, but this is a pet peeve of mine. People, when you get to the counter at a convenience store, get off your cell phone and actually interact with the cashier. If you don't want to do that, don't give me a dirty look when I say nothing to you.

Well, I have to go to work, again, very soon. So I will end this post by encouraging you, the reader, to leave me a comment on the subjects I talked about in this post.
