It’s been the week of hell at work. Every time I turned around, something wasn’t exactly going my way. At least make it something that’s truely my fault.

Monday, a woman asks me to Open Box a new, unopened item so she could get it at a discount. I told her it was against policy to do so and I wouldn’t. She goes to a manager and tells the manager that I was being “mean”. You have to be kidding me. There I am, for 4 hours that day, pricing the HUGE open item setup we have and this is what I get on top of that? I actually chose to abide by the rules and I get called mean. To make it worse, she’s, apparently, some Best Buy nut who was even at the grand opening of the first ever Best Buy and knows everything about the company. I guess she also knows how to put on a good act and leave out parts of the truth when complaining to a manager.

Tuesday, a couple asks me for a TV. I explain that we don’t have it in stock for take home and only have it for delivery. They ask how much delivery is and I, of course, tell them that it does cost $50. They ask for free delivery (as everyone does) and I explain it’s against company policy. They grab the tag from me and go to customer service to say that I was being “mean”. Gah! I’m just doing my god damn job you assholes!

I’m getting tired of this crap. Customers here have no respect or manners and treat us all like complete shit. I get yelled at when something isn’t in stock and get called mean when I follow the rules. I get yelled at because Best Buy doesn’t take orders over the phone. I get told “don’t waste your breath” when I ask if the guy needs help. I’m so fucking sick of it. As it is, Monday, this one guy treated me like a dick then realized he needed me to answer questions. It’s amazing how quickly I forget things when I’m pissed off. I hope he has fun getting the run around from his cable company.

I hate being this angry. While there’s an energy to be found in anger, feeling like you’ve been shit on by the world is not something enjoyable. It’s degrading and wears a person out. I try to be nice and I get yelled at. I act like an ass and get yelled at. Maybe if I stuck my thumb up my ass and spun around, people would finally shut the hell up.
