So I have recently noticed people like to start drama via Facebook... I'm not sure why! Either they feel threatened by what I have to say, or me in general, or they just like to start drama. Like I have mentioned before I have NO problem with people who do not agree with me or oppose my views. What I find frustrating is people who feel they need to come at me with rage and talk to me like I am stupid for my opinion. I only welcome those who disagree with me if they can formulate a comment without being rude or sounding like they are a middle schoolers bickering over whose myspace song is better.
So normally I deal with this issue one of several ways. The first time someone does this to me, if I do not know them well, I will just delete the comment so I do not feel the need to reply to them and cause a war zone on my status. If they continue to leave snarky comments I will just delete them as a Facebook friend. I don't need people like that in my life... Clearly not worth my time. It's not that I can't take criticism, I just prefer to have people form their opinions with less ignorance.
So here is the instance that has occurred to get me annoyed and motivated to write this blog.
(This is what I posted the other day on Facebook)
I already received a comment that was belligerent a day ago, but this one cracked me up for several reasons. First, I have had encounters with this female several times, she is very two faced from my previous experiences. Second she took several times to post what she felt the need to say. I was able to open the Edited button and realize that it took her several minutes to compose a post that made sense and completed what she felt the need to share....
Regardless, here was what she posted in response, and all her attempts doing so...
I cannot stress enough how many other ways she could have composed this to not come off like a.... well.... a Dumb bitch... But apparently she felt the need to post her feelings angrily. I'm still not sure what I did to her.
Let me clarify a few things. I am a server and clearly I know what I am doing because my managers let me do what I please when it comes to working whenever I come home. One thing you need to know as a GOOD server is that we should always assume people want their change if they leave cash. I never ask "Do you need change?" that would be silly. What if they leave me a fifty dollar bill on a 25 dollar check and I only know there is cash in the book? Clearly they will not be leaving me that nice of a tip... At least not always... It does happen occasionally. Plus they would think I am an idiot for thinking they are leaving me a 100% tip. Regardless, I always say "I will be right back with this!" They can then tell me if they do not need change! I never assume I am getting a tip, it is an egotistical assumption. Yes I get the tips, but I never assume that! I find it rude to ask the question "Do you need change" I just bring them change! You can also view my annoyed response to the ignorant comment above.. I don't see why I should have to tell someone who is bringing me change that they need to bring five one dollar bills for a five dollar bill. I would be talking down to them by saying "Can you bring me singles for the five I left.." That would be, in my opinion, insulting their intelligence!
Commenting on the note I have given to cashiers any time this has happened I have not been in a busy place... people just haven't had the intelligence to call me out. Yes I made a mistake because I misheard someone, but when I worked in the mall I would always mention this mistake to people and they would be grateful that I didn't just add weight to their change purse. I do not feel it is their JOB to correct me... But I would at least hope they are capable of noticing this, and as a decent person they would call me out on my mistake! If they could manage all that they could keep me from having to be annoyed that I just received more change than I wanted...
Long story short, I will be deleting this girl from Facebook because I don't actually have a reason to be "friends" with her on this social media site. I also have a feeling she may have been that cashier before, and now she is taking it out on me that she was yelled at previously for not noticing a similar situation. Honestly, I don't care why she felt this was her place, but I know she isn't an important enough person for me to let her read my thoughts on Facebook from here on out.
PPPS: When I was training at my server job I was sitting at a table with my trainer and a lady who was leaving told us in training "Don't give customers a five dollar bill for change on 15 dollars. (The ladies bill was 15$ gave the girl a 20 and got back a Five dollar bill..... Sound familiar... then she was mad she got a five!) I'm not the only person who finds making change an issue for some people.. But oh well! Life goes on and I still tipped my waitress the night she did not give me correct change because I'm not a jerk, and I am a server, so YES...I do know better!
