I drink a lot in Adventures in paradise

I’m at work and have about 5 mins til my break is up.

I was asked to work last night before the day had even arrived. That’s how screwed for staff they are. Ergh.

I was here for no more than 15 minutes when I was gritting my teeth and playing out theatrical scenarios in my brain where I was putting a customers head through the milk fridge.

Seriously. Stupidest questions ever. One guy used the ever-original “I’m going to Coles then!” when I told him we didn’t stock his shaving-stick, which only people born in the first world war use anyway.
Then I helped heaps of Asian customers who couldn’t understand a word of English, so I was wasting my time.
THEN I had a guy bitching to me because he wanted disposable gloves, but didn’t want the ones we had because they weren’t clear or blue-coloured.
(Most of the ones we have at the moment are a light pink colour, in support of National Breast Cancer month.)

I ended up just walking away from that idiot. I’d had enough and had only just started.

I asked my manager how he did it every day. He goes, “I drink a lot.”
