Stupid Jerk

if you commented in the past two weeks, your comment didn't show up because, dumbass that I am, I managed to lock them up somehow. they are out in the blogosphere now!

i hate my job even more. this guy comes in on a regular basis and tries to skip the line by shoving his cup in the face of the person making drinks. Stu, you know who I'm talking about. It's the same asshole who's been inappropriate to nearly every girl in the place and actually been asked to leave permanently.

I never let him skip the line; I make drinks in the order that they are orderd. Fair. After having to wait for his drink, he came around to peer at what I was doing, and asked the girl next to me to get his latte. I told her that I'd be making it in a minute. Then he addressed me. Loudly.

"IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SERVE ME, LET SOMEONE ELSE DO IT! I'M TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT!" I lifted an eyebrow. "Will you get out of my face? And don't swear at me! Your drink will be along when it's ready!"

He insisted he was not swearing at me (huh?) and then the other baristas diffused the situation. I had no problem "getting into it" with someone screaming in my face, but everyone was like, "ooooo, not in front of the customers!"

Ask me if I care if they heard.

He was out of line, so rude, and he frightened me. I'm going to insist that he be 86ed from the store before I go back. I don't need to be freaked out for eight bucks an hour!
