WE

ok so im not actually in the defence force or any thing but i like to consider the minimal wage workers of fast food places as an army of a sort.

and everything i say has been true in my experience.
i am disrespected the moment i put the hat and badge on.
i’ve had burgers thrown at me, threatened with everything under the sun,
hit on in the most innapropriate way.
but thats not what pisses me off most times. its when you try to interact with the customers in a really nice manner for them to cut you off and order or ignore you completly like as if you said nothing. that is the most dissrespectful thing of all i think because I DO EXIST i am not a an automated machine made just to do your bidding

WE belongs to the following groups:

! Creative Writing & Poetry !, Anger Management, Art & Dis(ease), Core [C.O.R.E], Nerds Unite, The Red Writing Room and Up & Coming Writers

We the Army wish for your attention as we are sick and tired of be treated like shit.
We the Army have enough to deal with with out you making our lives worse.

We already dress like fools, undignified uniforms making us into clones.
We already have to work under horrid conditions that none of you would want to have to work in.
We have shit pay
We have idiot superiors that dont know simple maths let alone how to do their jobs.

AND
ontop of that We have to deal with wankers just like you every minute of the day;

You who do not actually listen to what we are saying.
You who do not treat us like human beings.
You who think we’re there just to take your shit.
You who have no idea what We the Army do for revenge

    Being in the service of others is the most difficult and thankless job there is.
    Not everyone is a prick or a dick though.
    Chin up and thank you for the not so gentle reminder of the job you do

  • exposedbutloved replied

    yeah i generally like it… i get to meet interesting and funny characters, especially as im in the only 24/7 store in the city. but yeah quite thankless often – most people dont have the time to spare for a smile or a thanks…
    hahahah yes i think the best way to get noticed is to slap people in the face

    Very very well said! A little courtesy towards others goes a very long way and regardless of whatever job one does in life to make ends meat, you deserve respect and dignity.

  • exposedbutloved replied

    hahah well im not up for softening the truth..
    hahahah thats nice of you to say =P its why they stick us young talkative girls on front counter heheheh.
    and indeed the world has lost its respect, but if we all try to make an effort then we are the beginning of a change

    As I started reading this it felt you had written how I and my work friends feel putting up with bad mannered patients as well as management who are more intent on exercising their authority than actually listening to us
    I am so with you on this :))

  • exposedbutloved replied

    haha indeed im sure everyone feels like this at work which makes me wonder why people act the way they do?
