Customer Service

I've worked at Mcdonald's and now I've been working at a salon doing hair and let me tell you, rude customers are everywhere. 
Do you know how many Mcdonald's employees are actually scared of the McRib? I remember when I was working there and the McRib came back, the first thing all of the employees started saying was "Oh God just wait until it leaves again." Because they knew the ass chewing they were about to get when it happened. I'm sorry you want your McRib but it's not my fault that it's now gone.
Another day I was working, there were two other people working. Me, doing everything in the front, A coworker making all the food, and a manager, trying to do her duties in the back. We were pretty well slammed too. Well, one guy thought his food was taking too long since the guy building the sandwichs was also trying to cook everything at the same time while I'm bagging other orders and taking orders. So I get him his food maybe two minutes later and he's not happy. I apologize and try and explain the situation and he throws the burger at the wall and leaves. Not really sure what he accomplished there. Cool, now you're out all that time, out your money because we're not refunding that, and you're still hungry. Good job bro.

Another thing, if you ask for something in the pull forward section of the drive-thru, please just don't come back to that place. You've had three other chances to ask. At the pay window, the drive-thru window when you get there, and when they ask you to pull forward. If you ask as I'm bringing you your food, you're not getting it. Especially if we're busy or it's cold as shit. I'm not allowed to wear an actual jacket back there mind you, because it "has to be black" and I don't have the $50 to buy me a brand new heavy coat, in black. And if it's just busy, I'm gonna get my ass chewed out for going back outside because they need me in there. I'm just not doing it. It's not worth it to me. You don't even tip me, and even for those few nice people that do tip us, there's only a slight chance we'll be able to keep it.
Fun fact: Mcdonald's employees are supposed to give their tips up into the Ronald McDonald house charity.
You're telling me, I'm working my ass off for minimum wage, begging for less than 40 hours a week, the maximum I'm legally allowed to be scheduled without my permission, and now I can't keep a tip if someone decides to give me one? That's a rule you can shove up your rich ass for all I care.

Then there are just the stupid customers that just don't listen I guess.
Customer: "I'd like a child's happy meal."
Me: "Hamburger, cheeseburger, or nuggets?"
C: "Yes."
Me: ??????

Or, one of my favorites.
C: "I'd like a (Insert sandwich here)(I forgot exactly what he ordered)
Manager: "Would you like Beef, grilled chicken, or crispy chicken?"
C: "I'd like meat."
M: "Sir, they're all meat."
C: "I want meat!"
M: ??? "Uhhh..." *Clicks random button* "Beef it is."

What are we going to do about it though? There's always going to be stupid, unruly people wherever you go, I guess.

Hair in college

This blog I started back in high school due to a forced school project, and now here I am in college (Yes, really!) and still try and update this thing. I kinda suck at updating, but I try. But here's a rant about college.

First off, I'm in cosmetology. Let me tell you if you hated high school drama, cosmetology is not the choice for you. It's a whole building full of nothing but women and there's nothing there to stop the drama from unraveling. But all that aside it's pretty fun.

I've been at college for three months now. I started January 8th and I'm already out on the floor. Today I also started learning to cut hair. So here next week if you want to get a haircut by someone who's never actually cut a real person's hair, I'm your gal.

This is only a year-long course though. 1,500 hours and you’re done. Yet there are still girls who take so much longer to do it. And simply because they don’t show up! That literally like the kids who are in their senior year and drop out. Like what is the point. Show up for a few more days and it’s over. But now you’re adding on $12,000 to piss away because you don’t show up. And there’s always the “Important things are happening in my home.” or just “A lot is going on. Well if so much is going on, especially the new people that just signed up, why bother. If your life is that busy what made you think it was the time to add more on top of your plate? If you’re struggling, adding more things to do WILL NOT help. But if you have the time and money cosmetology is such a fun thing to do and has such a payoff if you really enjoy what you’re doing. But that’s a pretty good general rule no matter what you’re doing.

'Murca

It's been a long time since I published on here, but a lot has happened in my life these past few months and something's been telling me to come back here. I've been homeless these past few days and have been hoping, on the edge of my seat, that the trailer we applied for a few days ago will become ours. Thank's Washington. I could know today if your birthday didn't have to be some excuse to close all government buildings for a day when us normal people still have to work our asses off for you guys who want to come here on your extra vacation day. Don't you already have EVERY Sunday? And Easter, and Christmas, and so on. But whatever. Yeah take your extra day while all the rest of us wait to try and appease you into giving us some help.
We begged at the police for two days to help us gather our things. We were stranded without a toothbrush, a comb, or even a change of undies. But they couldn't do anything. So we just took care of it ourselves, whatever. We waited at the social security office for an hour to not even get a hello. We went to the office not even a week earlier to try and get help then, but it was already closed because Feb. 12 is Lincoln's Birthday. And it's closed today for Washington's. ISN'T THAT THE POINT OF PRESIDENTS DAY? SO IT'S NOT CLOSED ALL THE TIME FOR THE PRESIDENT'S BIRTHDAY? And these guys get all kinds of benefits? What about us Average Joe that work 6 days a week, anywhere from 4 hours to upwards of 10? I would have to beg for less than 40 hours. 40 HOURS IS THE MAX YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SCHEDULED UNLESS YOU TELL THEM YOU WANT MORE. And I still would have to beg. There's several other people who say they're lucky to get a day off every two weeks. Otherwise they're working 7 days out of the week. McDonald's managers are basically on call 24/7. I've seen managers here go home, to be called back in 8 hours later. I watched one employee who basically used to live here because he wanted hours and McDonald's was more than ready to take advantage of that.
I've been 18 for a month. Not even and I'm already taking on full responsibility as an adult. I'm starting at rock bottom. It doesn't feel impossible, but this is hard. If I hadn't of pulled out a loan, I think this would be impossible. So as a kid, trying to start off, I have to ask, why is America so interested in paying for everything except something that will actually help? We need help making the home market something affordable. Health care. Why do we have to sell an arm and a leg in order to fix our mind? Why do we have to give up our sight in order to hear? Why do we have to give up our home in order to get health care, or give up health care in order to have a home? 
It's been 18 years of my life and I used to ask myself, is there a such thing as a happy childhood? Not much has changed other than childhood became adulthood. Does life get better for us common folk?
Is this really life? I spend my whole childhood begging God for a friend that I never got. Now I've got my only friend, my fiance, but I'm just begging for a home right now. Is that how I'm gonna be for a while? What will be next? What happens next?
