Day 250: The Pettiness of Men - Shit Gets Real

Written at 10:45PM on 9/7/11:

You know that "Haha! Reality like a movie!" fit I had the other day about the one time "date" guy going psycho and complaining about me at work? Totally not the basic whinefest I initially assumed it was. My ass got taken into a room with a manager and a witness and I was made to tell my version of events. I then had to write said version of events in a statement. I omitted the personal involvement with the customer but did try to express that this was a customer I "have a history with" to the ASM.

Total bollocks, to be honest. The dude is trying to say I was doing a crossword and refusing to help him. Yes I had a crossword that I put down and did not touch again until he and all the other customers going through my line had been helped, but because management can't understand such basic concepts like being able to help people and in the lulls having some personal respite, it is an apparent shit storm. One of the cashiers knew about me "getting in trouble" before I did because some drama twit at the service desk was saying she didn't know if there would be anyone for my 11:30 shift. Like I was going to be fired on the spot.

The other service desk regular caught me printing out some fresh crossword puzzles and came out with this gem "I wouldn't do that because you got in a lot of trouble the other day". Like...wouldn't I be the one who knows how much trouble I got into? So far I have seen none of this so called trouble. Whoever was next to the service desk when all this shit was going down, perhaps the customer went straight to them, they worked it up to a degree that does not correspond to its actual severity. Instead of saying any of that though, I told her I didn't care, that the guy had a vendetta against me because I didn't contact him again after we hung out once. That seemed to penetrate the bullshit film a bit. Ridiculous gossip environs, for real.
