Your best friend goes on a rant about his job after a few drinks...
Why is it me? Why is it always up to me? That's what I'm trying to say, okay? Why does it have to be me? Why do I always have to fucking clean up after this? I'm the only one who does any fucking work.
I literally work with imbeciles. I work with imbeciles. The managers are fucking imbecile, the customers are fucking imbeciles, and my co-workers are fucking imbeciles.
Everybody is a fucking imbecile. That's all I'm trying to say. That's all I'm trying to explain to you, okay? And you would understand if you work there.
You would understand if you have to fucking clock in every single fucking day. And it's legitimately impossible, in-fucking-possible, to get anything through anyone's fucking skulls. You tell them, hey, I'm going to take care of this customer.
Could you please go do this? They will either not do it, or they'll do it wrong, and then I have to fucking do it again. There's no way to win, at all.
If it was enough for me to be able to just tell people, hey, I could do it for you, I could do this, I could do that. I'm not a fucking town, alright? I'm not a dozen people with just one hive mind, okay? I'm one fucking person, two arms, two legs, two fucking eyes, and one brain, which apparently nobody fucking has.
I'm telling you, it's impossible. It is, okay, okay, look, look, alright. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just need to get it out, because I've been there for so long already, and it just, I just can't, I just.
.. Look, I'm going to give you an example of what I've had to go through, alright? Just hear me out, hear me out, okay? And, no, no, no, I don't want any more wine, I don't want any more wine, I shouldn't drink any more wine, you see how I get?
Some people get horny, I get fucking angry, alright? Look, look, alright, look. I had a lady, she fucking comes in.
I'm like, ma'am, I'm not even going to tell you what it is, alright, what the product is. She's like, is this two for one? And I'm like, ma'am, yes.
However, however, however, if you buy a third product, you will get it at the same price as those two that were two for one, okay? Meaning, that if you buy just one product, it's going to be the same price. It's just the way, that's how they get you to get more money, alright? I'm trying to explain this to you, I'm literally trying to help you.
I am trying to make you understand this shit. I obviously didn't say any of that, but the whole point is this. I tell her that, she says, oh, so, I should just buy one? I'm like, lady, like, no, there, there, okay.
I'm saying that you literally are asking me if it's two for one. You literally want to buy two, right? Yes, she says, alright, well then, if you want to get another one, you don't have to buy another one, you don't have to buy four to get the price off for each other one.
She literally stares at me for what felt like three fucking minutes. And she goes, so it's going to be more expensive if I just buy three? I'm like, I can't, I fucking can't.
I literally, I thought to myself about grabbing the stapler that was right to my left. I'm telling you this because I remember it just like this. I looked at the stapler and I felt about grabbing it and just smacking myself with it to death.
Because I can't, I can't. It's so simple to just listen to me, alright. And this happens over and over and over again.
And I'm trying to be a nice human being. I am trying to help them. I'm trying to tell you, like, hey, hey, these corporations are trying to take advantage of you.
I work here, but I don't give a shit about their money. I want you to be able to get whatever you want. I want you to be able to just thrive, okay.
Economically, I'm trying to help you. But the morons that go in there, man, it's just every single day. It's just, oh my god.
Now that is a customer. But you haven't even heard about the employees. I already told you they're incompetent.
Well, imagine two people who are incompetent. Like, I've had many times have to go over to fucking people, to my employees, to co-workers. And they're trying to explain something to a customer.
And the customer doesn't understand. But neither does the co-worker. My co-workers, they don't understand either.
So what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? I have to go there and deal, and explain what one moron is trying to say to another moron.
And what other, it just, it becomes very, very problematic for my thoughts. And it becomes very problematic for my will to work there. I swear, if I could quit, I would.
But I need the job. I need that fucking job. That fucking job.
I need it. For, you know, the money. And all that.
I mean, I'm sorry, I know you don't like me popping my fingers. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I need the money for it.
I need it. There's like no other way to go about it. There's no other jobs.
I've looked for other places, and it's always the same shit. Alright? It always seems like they're never hiring.
And then you get hired to a new place, you think it's going to be different. It's never different. It's the fucking same.
It is literally the fucking same. But hey, hey, hey. Alright? I try, okay? I try.
And it does become very difficult, but fortunately I have you. I know this has become kind of like a routine. And every time we drink to just blow off steam, I basically just blow off a rant.
And I'm sorry about that, okay? But you're the only one that listens. You're the only one I got.
Alright? You know what, fuck it. No, no, no.
I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't. Don't let me, don't let me get another wine. Because I'm going to want it, and then it becomes a whole other deal.
And then I start talking about my exes, and it becomes a whole other different deal. But this is the problem with the job, okay? And the job, yes, is the one thing that I'm hating right now the most.
Because I can't escape it. I can't escape it. This fucking chair.
I'm sorry. Just keep moving, because, yeah. It's just a problem.
Alright? No, no, no, no, no, no. That's not what I mean, okay? I, I can deal with it.
Alright? It's not making me that upset, but it's very close. It's very close.
Every day, it chips away at my will to get up. I just want to wake up and just smash the alarm clock and say, fuck no. You know, I don't want to go there.
I really want to grab it and just not even go there. Not even go there. But I have to, like I said.
Money's always a necessity, and we all need it. And just, I despise it so much. But hey, what are we going to do, right? What are we going to do? There's nothing else we can do.
It's either go and not starve, or not go and starve. Or not go and starve, so. I think I have a plan, but it just takes time.
You know. Thank you for listening. Really.
No, look at me. Thank you so much for listening. I know I can be a lot sometimes, but.
You get me through this. You give me strength. So.
I appreciate it. Also, thank you for buying the wine. I'll get you back next time, I promise.
Yeah. But then, yeah. Forget about all that.
Let's end on a happy note. What did you want to talk about?
