A Rant

Good morning lovelies -

I was on my way home this morning, pretty early to get ready for work and spend a little time with the kitties, and I went on the hunt for coffee. I was on a pretty major road so it wasn't hard to come by but I also knew I wouldn't have a lot of time for breakfast at home so I thought I would try one of those egg white flat bread breakfast sandwiches. This drive through has a sign up "no sandwiches between 6 AM and 10 AM" bastards! Obviously they are against me and wanted me to eat a doughnut. I would have parked and gone in despite the cold had I known that but I was already more than halfway around the building in a one way parking lot on a one way street. Not an option. I ordered my coffee and said very sweetly "could I please have an egg white sandwich?" the lady barked at me! Well, not really but it was close enough. May I add that there was no one behind or in front of me and it was 6:15. So I decided just the coffee (WOOOOOO! That's actually a really big step for me) and pulled up. I got to the window and took the coffee, and the outside of the cup is covered in sugar. I'm actually not a rude person, even early in the morning. I just asked "excuse me, this is just skim milk right" because I can't even deal with sugar in my coffee any more. I got used to it without sugar and now if there is any sort of sweetener I make a Bill Cosby face as soon as I drink it. Anyway, dunkzilla barked at me again and when the coffee cooled down from boiling I learned that she wasn't lying. But as she handed me my receipt something inside me still made me say "I hate you". For those of you who know me you know I am telling the truth for I cannot lie. I thought I had my inner monologue on but it must be broken. It's going to be an interesting day.

Seriously though, I have worked in customer service before and I've had to swallow my pride and deal with mean people plenty of times. There is never a reason to be rude to a customer, especially when they are not being rude to you. I understand that she couldn't make me a sandwich but I didn't think it would hurt to ask sweetly.

Now I'm home with my coffee and oatmeal with a kitty and my computer on my lap and my coffee is almost gone, and that mean lady is probably only starting to deal with the rude people. Karma.

I do have to go to work though.

Love,

Lula Mae
