Jenny Don't be Hasty

It's raining again today.

I find that when there's a huge rustling happening outside of my domain then that's the best place to organize my thoughts; best place to evaluate fresh events and to really just...ponder.

At least, this is how I feel after a full day of work when it's raining outside.

What I'm thinking about tonight are my two jobs that I've taken up this summer here in my hometown Regina, Sask.; Milky Way and La Bodega.

Milky Way is an independently owned ice cream parlor that's well respected and heavily known through its reputation. Meanwhile, La Bodega is a fancy upscale, artsy and also independently owned restaurant. It's known for being the restaurant in a house that is attached to an open tree house and also head to head competition with a similar restaurant called the Freehouse.
But dude, it beats Freehouse all the way 'cause we look good both day and night, and our Mojitos kicks their Mojito's ass any day.

I would have to say that I have probably the best two summer jobs that Regina could ever offer me, and frankly, I don't think I'm alone in thinking this.

Milky Way, yo.

At Milky way, I get to work with fun, kind benevolent people doing simple tasks. Most of the time there, it hardly even feels like work. So it's really chill.

Fancy that, La Bodega

When I'm not working at Milky Way, surely, you can find me at Bodega where you'll see that I am the hostess in the evenings. It's sweet working here cause I get to dress fancy, test my level of service to customers and coworkers in all areas and most importantly, I get to learn the business of running a business.

Pretty cool, I'd say.

But of course, there are a lot of downfalls of working at these places.
Doi, I'm tired, but that's not all.

Not only am I lacking sleep, but a lot of times I'm lacking respect.

At Milky Way, it's from the customers.

Do I look stupid to you because I'm scooping ice cream?

At Bodega, it's everyone. I'm constantly awaited by impatient customers and coworkers because as a hostess, I'm being dependent on for so and so's convenience.

Do I look like super woman to you?

And, I guess the core of this post, is not for me to tell you of my work places, but rather the unnecessary intolerance of people in which I have discovered through my work places.

The word 'sorry' has lost all its meaning, yet the 'thank yous' has not intact itself yet.
Frankly, that only because that's a word I rarely hear.

I could provide some examples to give you a better idea of where I'm coming from, by if I were to do that, I would risk people feeling attacked by it. And I don't think I can handle that.

But, I'm not THAT passive.

What I don't want to tolerate with anymore is the way people behave. That is, ungrateful and snobbish of those subservient to them. I mean, you could say sorry for acting in an unintentional manner, but the more often that routine goes, it just goes to show that they're not being honest about their apologies.

That's something I despise in people, and I suppose that is the purpose of this post.

I don't want to become what I despise in people.

What is the point of that behaving like that anyway?
It's only temporary to get your way through those who cause an inconvenience to you. It most certainly does not make you a better person for making the person feel low about themselves.
And overall, that's just an ugly trait of a person.

Tell me, how did people disintegrate to be so ungrateful?
