Devil in the deli.

Ok-- first of all , why am I up this early on my day off?

Next, I want anyone that is reading this to know I am usually a very nice person. Seriously! Ask Sarah! Anyways usually Matt and I go grocery shopping every weekend. We pretty much always need the same things over and over again, lunch meat, bananas, water. Well we decided to go on Sunday afternoon, we saved the deli for last and I am really glad we did! After waiting a good five minutes, someone finally "helped" us. I got half a pound of turkey thin sliced, then Matt ordered his pound of Virginia ham, shaved. Heres how that went...

Matt: I need a pound of that Virginia ham, shaved please.
Deli Clerk: Do you want it very thin or falling apart?
Matt: I would like it falling apart if you could please.
Deli Clerk: (In very rude, stern tone) WHY would I ask you if I couldn't do it that way!?


The deli clerk that shall remain unnamed then proceeded to complain out loud to her co-workers about having to "shave" our ham. She offered the task to another worker, that refused and walked off. She then commented that she hoped the deli in Flippin was hiring because she would rather work there. Then after taking her sweet ass time, she flopped the meat up on the counter and didn't say a word to us. I could not believe how rude she was! If I would have been Matt, I would have pushed it back across the counter and informed her on a nice place for her to "store" it. But he was polite, and we took our sammich fixin's and mosied on. I did call the manager after we got home, and he wasn't surprised at all and actually knew exactly who I was talking about. I can honestly say that is the first time I have ever had to complain about an employee! But I think it was justified.

Which brings me to my next point, does anyone actually like to work? I know some people "love their job!" but when it comes down to it , if I gave you the choice , of spending quality time with your family/walking your dog/going on vacation OR going to work-- which do you think would win? There are parts of my job that I don't like. Iron dextran drips are the devil. I hate making them, they are messy and a huge pain in my ass -- but you can rest assured that the next time I make one, I'm not going to march up to the patient that needs it and complain about how hard it was to make. Its part of my job , I secretly hate it , but I still do it. I think everyone has at least one part of their job that they dislike , but I think that normal people keep that to themselves.

See just another day that I would have been better off sleeping in! But as always with a trip to Wally world, I got an orange fanta, so things evened out.
