:: Server Stories: Rants ::
I've been told by a couple of friends who read my blog that some of my rants about customers, while interesting, have them concerned for me because I sound so "angry." A buddy told me that he's worried that I'll snap and actually grab a pepper mill (seriously, we have a couple that are two feet long) and club someone over the head like they're a baby seal.
Well, no. I'm way too mellow to ever get that worked up over people I'll probably never see again. Most nights go through without problems and even when I do get the one or two high maintenence customers, it's rarely something I stew over and for the most part, it's good blog fodder. In the case of the last post, where each event compounds the next and everything happens in rapid succession, you feel drained. But nights like that are rare.
That said, whatever perceived anger you may or may not sense here, it's nothing compared to this pissed-off Starbucks Barista. Talk about angry, someone needs to lay off the coffee and step away from the espresso machine.
