menial minimum wage missive #246
my last ever day on the bakery today.........no more baguettes for this little lad.......you see they're letting me loose on the shop floor with the big boys......hope it's more to do with my manager saying...'i think you suit the forecourt tills better'...than them finding loads of my beard hair in the butter tub....
anyway.....my last shift whacking sausages in buns couldn't go without incident.........i felt a bit ill and weren't really digging the 7 o'clock start..........some guy asks for a sausage roll....i oblige, quickly and efficiently, but without comment....perhaps a mumbled..'there you go'....................he takes it to the other till and, out of my hearing range...starts slagging me off....'moody prick...why work here if you're gona be so miserable'...etc etc............the colleague he unloads on tells me just as the guy has left.......obviously this fucks me off something rotton....i spend 10 minutes spitting and swearing and saying all the things i would've said and how sarcastic i would've been and how pathetic and small and stupid i would've made him feel....'let me at him....let me at him'.....etc etc...
so i entertain my pals with this raging monologue for a bit before i do the ole....'right here we go....i'll be all extra nice and polite to the next person' thing....
next woman comes along...me..big smile...chompers beaming...'hello madam, and how are you doing today' (not sarcastic or patronising...just playing up to the idea of me being a good lad)...................and she replies.......'well...my friends son died this morning....he'd been ill for ages, but it's still a big shock'....
my reaction can best be visualised by clicking the link below and getting to the 20 second point....

in other last bakery shift news....my heart for today's shift goes to a beautiful eye technician (as in..she was well tidy and is an eye technician....not an eye technician entirely reserved for the pulchritudinous) who looked like anna karina and smelt like happy endings...
also a bloke paid for summit and one of his 50 pence pieces had a sticker on it.....tacky bar promotion?........nope....the ole BNP tapping into the loose change market. mental.
