How annoying...

I did my third ever shift at my new job today and I couldn't help feeling irritated at some of the customers that came in.

I was washing up some dishes behind the counter when I woman came over to me and asked me for some napkins to wipe the table and a chair, which had gotten wet. I explained to her that I had just cleaned it, because previous customers had just been sat there and had left it dirty, and so she just gave me a patronising look and said "I'll need more napkins than that".

Feeling very annoyed with this mean lady, I walked over to the washing basin and started cursing her; she was still stood at the counter and was waiting for me to take an order. Sorry if you heard me Mrs. Old Lady, but you pissed me off!

But wasn't just the only thing...

I had just finished making some sandwiches (first time I have ever done them!) and I went over to the counter to see if any orders needed to go out. My boss, Mildred*, asked me to take an order over to two women and to clean up the table, as it hadn't been cleaned; basically there were a few cups and a pot of tea on there.

So I went over and gave them their order and I was just about to clean up, when the elderly woman asked me, "could you clean that up please". I was annoyed, because there was a clean table right next to them; why couldn't they have sat there? I was wondering if people do this on purpose or are they just blind.

Hopefully, people will think more when they go into a cafe and not take waiters and waitresses for granted. We work really hard serving customers and making sure their food is good enough for them (just because I cut the cake wrong and I can't serve ice cream... or I can't cut bread properly, doesn't mean I don't try..).

Peace out!
