Pool chemicals and more pool chemicals. Unleasing my anger =)

Forcing out the weirdness in me. One of the things most people find weird is as stated one day in class I LOVE MY JOB. It's like a second home to me. Most people normally go to work and dread going there but I honestly love it. I love helping people and helping them fix their pools. I have a lot of knowledge in this field and it always feels good to hear people compliment me on this. Therefore, it's my favorite place to be in the world. But one thing I absolutely hate is the extremely nasty customers. Like tonight, for example, one woman comes in ten minutes before closing. Now everyone's tired, everyone wants to go home and we were working our asses off the whole day to get ready for the big sales we are having. So she comes in and walks over to me while i'm stocking gallons of winterizer and says "I need the stuff to close my pool" So I asked her whether she had an aboveground pool or an inground and she had an above. So I told her the two chemicals she needed and she looks at me and starts bitching at me. She started yelling saying that she called the 1-800 number (which is filled with people who like to lie because they get enjoyment out of) and told her she could come in and get a kit for $39.99. So I asked her if she was a VIP and she said yes. So I proceeded to tell her that the two chemicals she needed would cost only $35. She still continues to yell at me about how she hates the store and how she wants to blow it up and blah blah blah. So I walked away. I can't take that shit from people ten minutes before closing when i'm freaking exhausted beyond all belief and just want to go home and blog of course. What I don't get is A) if you hate the company and want to blow it up then why do you come in and get all your pool shit from us and have us close your freaking pool? Why don't you go to some other store and close it yourself. Is it because you aew to damn lazy to get off your fat ass and do something? and another thing I don't get or letter B) is how someone can come into a freaking pool store and be so nasty to an individual who is trained to help and is answering your pathetic questions? If you want to bitch at me for your reasons then don't come over to me and ask me for help. I don't get what gives a person the idea that they think they have the right to come in and be so freaking nasty. Do they think they are cool? Do they think they are more special in any way? I don't get it. God if I was ever nasty like that to anyone who worked my mom would smack me in the back of the head and ask what the hell was wrong with me. I guess it's an italian mother kind of thing but I would still get ridiculed. God it just irks me that people always do this. And ontop of that, she went to get a winter cover and the manager helped and she was all sweet and nice to him. I just wanted to go up to her and smack her in the face.

I'm too nice of a person to be nasty to anyone, I really am. My boyfriend who also works there keeps telling me I have to stop being so nice to people. And it's true, I am sick of letting these low lives walk all over me and I'm sick of being nice and helping them to the fullest.

Okay that's enough of my thoughts for tonight. This blogging thing really helps with anger. I think I found my new psychologist =)
