Table came in and ate. Added food to their order and left without paying with the add-on on the table... And a pair of glasses. They just came back like "where's my food?" Bruh

✨We’re Not Asking, We’re Telling✨

I just got back from a micro-vacation. I stayed at a hotel 5 hours away. The property was lovely. The staff was pleasant. I enjoyed it for the most part.

After I checked out, I sat in the lobby, enjoying my free breakfast. There was me, a couple other guests, and 3 employees behind the desk. It was relatively quiet, peaceful.

Suddenly, a lady and her middle school-aged son walked in, accompanied by a man carrying a large instrument in a case. The lady made an announcement:

We’re gonna use your lobby for about 10 minutes. You’re gonna hear some nice music!

The employees behind the desk SAID okay, but their faces had looks I was way too familiar with:

“Dang, no ‘good morning’ or nothing?”

“You not even gon ASK? We just making demands now?”

“It’s too gotdamn early for this!”

“Is this really happening right now?”

What was happening was that the mom was buying the instrument—a cello—from the man who came in with them. It was for her son, who has middle school-level experience, so we didn’t hear the “nice music” she promised. Everything was off key. Nice to see him interested, no doubt. But to force strangers to hear him so early in the morning was rude.

A customer compared asylum seekers to invasive coyotes today making the analogy that to many coyotes ruin the ecosystem HE THEN SAID THAT EVEN COYOTES KNOW WHEN NOT TO REPRODUCE AND I WANTED TO STAB HIM IN THE NECK!!!! HOW FUCKING DISCONNECTED DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO RANK WILD ANIMALS ABOVE HUMAN BEINGS SEEKING HELP AND SAFTEY. And I couldn’t say a damn thing because he’s a paying customer and I need my job. Also this man manages a CONSTRUCTION COMPANY and has mostly MEXICAN laborers. How the fuck are you so painfully antagonistic toward the group of people WHO MAKE YOUR FUCKING MONEY.

I think I've cracked why it makes me so irate when customers have this expectation that workers not only offer service to them but to Do It With a Smile.

It's this sense of entitlement that it isn't enough to have a service offered to you, but that it must never remind you why workers might not be chipper.

What people mistake is that this country is built off freedom that makes us All Happy. What they miss is that this country was built on façades and platitudes - the comfort of being shielded from any uncomfortable reality.

#politics #workers rights #kind of adjacent #but i've said it before: if you want chipper workers contribute to something that would ACTUALLY make us chipper #like... so many people think i'm Rude because i CAN'T HAVE A CUSTOMER SERVICE VOICE (nor am i paid enough even if i could) #and frankly... if they are providing the service without A Smile then what is the problem officer? #is the problem that you had to contend with the idea that... maybe they don't WANT to be here and probably have little choice? #is the problem that you contended with the idea that there's something miserable about that place? #is it the uncomfortable reality that people aren't absolutely elated and enthralled to Serve You? #the frustrating part is when somebody tells you that and you KNOW if you told them that at their placs of work they'd also Not Be Happy #and RIGHTFULLY so because (at least in my eyes) it comes across as needlessly entitled and demanding #had somebody ask if i was okay and i contemplated actually being honest (not a Good idea)

idk man my feed is constantly full of people polling their readers to ask if it's "okay" to write about xyz or add abc to their ongoing fic. and maybe i'm just making distressed noises as a byproduct of my own role in a creative industry, a space in which professionals are rarely permitted to have true authority over their commercial work once a budget is opened. but i am really troubled by how quickly it has become so common for hobbyist writers to view hobby writing as an transactional public service and not as. idk. art.

#babe. claim authority over your own work #your hobbyist art is not crowdsourced #you do not serve your readers and your readers do not pay you in attention #outsourcing your artistic authority/decisionmaking is not being considerate #it is robbing yourself of the opportunity to practice creative genuineness #and shifting the responsibility of storytelling to your audience #and feeding into customer mentality entitlement in a hobbyist space

I have never once in my life, had a difficulty in understanding that if it is outside a store’s posted hours, *AND* there’s no open sign *AND* the lights are off inside, the store is not open.

Yes, I should have relocked the door after I came in for the morning, while I set up, but my brain keeps assuming PEOPLE CAN NOTICE THE LACK OF A GODDAMN OPEN SIGN!

What made that man even decide to try the door?

And then, AND THEN, when I tell him ‘we’re not open yet’, he slams the door, goes back to his car, and drives off, rather than wait 10 minutes.

IF HE’S IN SUCH A HURRY, WHY DID HE COME BEFORE WE OPEN ANYWAY! OUR HOURS ARE CLEAR ON THE DOOR AND ONLINE

WE

OPEN

AT

10!

(For that matter, everyone but the freaking breakfast cafe opens at 10 on main street, so even more wtf?)

one thing i find really difficult about navigating the IF space is the direct line of contact between readers and authors. we share the same space, and i think that plays a big part in this weird blurred line we have in this community and overall lack of boundaries.

for a lot of people this is a fun hobby and while i personally try to keep it... semi-professional most of the time, it's easy to get wrapped up in having fun on tumblr (or the forums, or reddit, wherever it is that you mainly post/interact) and have a lot of personal interactions with both readers and authors alike - which is fun! i like it more often than not, but i also think that's why a lot of comments in this space can end up being really entitled, over-familiar, and inappropriate.

it's no secret that most authors get really weird messages on here, and while this is also a problem on social media at large and not just specific to IF tumblr, it is still definitely a big problem in this community.

and to be clear i'm not saying that you can't be friendly with authors or readers (i've become friends with a handful of readers myself) and i definitely don't mean to imply that there needs to be a huge divide between us; that's silly - again, most authors are readers, most readers are authors, we’re just people on the internet sharing the same space. but all of us deserve to have our boundaries respected. this is my story, and we are strangers. as a general rule of thumb: if you wouldn't say it out loud to someone you just met, you probably shouldn't be saying it to a stranger online. especially anonymously.

#i also think this is why some criticisms get so messy in this space as well #authors should not always be in the same space as the readers/reviewers #and readers shouldnt be able to directly @ authors with their extremely negative reviews esp when it's subjective #(‘’i hate this’’ as opposed to pointing out genuinely harmful content or other criticism) #for everyone's sake #& on a kinda related note: speaking as someone who has been receiving targeted harassment for *checks watch* over two years now #some people really need to reevaluate the way they interact with certain media #i think IF feels very personal due to the interactivity and the customization of the mc #but not everything is written for you. and it's fine to just not like something #without sending weird harassing anonymous messages for 2 years straight to a stranger on the internet. lol #honestly criticism is another can of worms and that's not really what i'm talking about here #but i do think that's also part of the entitlement and overfamiliarity as well #so imo it's connected a little bit. something to think about #at the end of the day my advice to other authors about this is to know your limits and know when you need to extract yourself #and know that you don't have to respond to every ask #especially if it makes you uncomfortable #and im definitely not trying to sound like the authority here this is something i've struggled with as well #like i said it is hard to navigate #and authors can be guilty of this too. wanting to defend yourself or insert yourself into conversations where you shouldn't #i've done that myself #and i've also had other authors i dont know be way overly familiar with me in the past #all of this is just an unfortunate part of online community i think. but im trying to be more mindful about it #anyways. this post brought to you by the weird messages in my and my friends' inboxes lately #i just think you should not be telling authors about pesonal bodily functions in anonymous asks #as an example. lol #personal

Entitled customers are funny, imagine kicking up such a fuss with our managers that 2 mall security guards had to be called to come mediate all because you and your wife not only can't read but also can't see that our menu literally serves soft poached egg, not a boiled egg, in our Japanese rice bowls

Anyway read the menu properly y'all and ask questions if you're unsure, don't be a dick to hospitality workers especially over dumb shit

#this happened yesterday during boxing day #it was truly hilarious to me #this lady came to complain about our egg not being boiled fully #to which my managers were like 'yeah our menu only serves soft boiled it's shown and written very clearly on it' #but apparently this lady wasn't happy with that answer cause she left and then sent her husband back with the bowl to argue!!!! #and my managers were like nah we're gonna call security to mediate cause this guy legit just kept raising his voice #anyway in the time span of waiting for security to show up #this guy literally pulls his phone out to record a negative review of us which lmao alright #and then proceeds to tell customers looking at our menu to not order from us cause we've got bad food #they still ordered from us anyway with 1 customer saying to my coworker that they hoped he left soon cause he was making them uncomfortable #anyway security shows up and them + the guy + my managers talk for like 10+ minutes #with this guy apparently mentioning at one point that he wants us shut down #just to remind y'all if you're reading this that this is all over a soft boiled egg that is very clearly shown on the menu #and the whole thing ended with 1 of the security coming in to the shop to watch us remake the bowl without the egg #because apparently the guy was afraid we'd do something to his bowl #security looked done with this and apologised to us for this guy being so rude #also before anyone says anything both this guy and wife were fluent in English so it wasn't a matter of them not being able to read our men #and also again our bowls show a very obvious not hard boiled egg #anyway i hope they had an awful day afterwards for being such entitled dicks to us

Just realized MC has the infinite patience to endure whatever kind of bullshit the characters throw at them because they canonically work in retail.

#perfectly explains why they didn't snap with that valerius throwing wine at them thing too #happens once every two weeks whenever an entitled customer who doesn't understand magic keeps asking for something that doesn't exist #that mess with julian's trial/nadia's incarceration and valerius taking over all at the same time? I would have just walked out #but mc has had worse they can do that #not art #the arcana

[abstractredd]

yknow, one of the sad things retail has shown me is that the average middle aged/older person has no manners. when i say to customers at work "what can i do for you?" i get "i need" or "i want" or even straight up "give me". theres rarely any "may i" and god forbid they say please. its not hard to look a person in the eyes, say "can i please get ___" instead of barely acknowledging me and barking demands at me like i'm a robot. it's disrespectful. and it's really sad that the generations that taught us manners growing up seem to have forgotten theirs entirely.

#retail #retail woes #idk just a thought #shutupberri #like acually its sad #these people are grown adults #and they act like children #i love my job but sometimes it really gets to me #just how callous and entitled some of these people act #ngl it’s usually cig smokers too with the ‘give me a pack of this’ like fuck you #retail worker #retail workers #retail memes #customers #grocery
