SUCKING UP (Monday)

Before I get started, I am for sucking up and against sucking up. I should really choose one side but I am not. You see, depending on where someone works and what their job entitles them to do to get a promotion or extra money, sucking up would come into play. In retail, sucking up is part of the job to make a sale and have a regular customer give you commission.In my case, I do not get commission but I get satisfied customers coming back the next week to do laundry. Does this mean I suck up? Fuck no. Well… actually… I do… only for a handful of customers because they have been doing laundry at our place for quite a few years. Customers, who have been coming to the Laundromat for over five years, do deserve that extra something from the employees.

If a customer has been doing laundry at our place for just a week and they expect the royal treatment, then they deserve a kick in the ass, not for me to kiss their ass. Oh yeah, there is also a difference between kissing ass and being nice. Just thought I would throw that out there too.

On Monday, I was talking with a long time customer and enjoying the conversation he and I were having. Mind you he is cute and I have mentioned him before. He’s the cute guy that is a carpenter and according to him, he is good with his hands. That was made into a mental note… Another customer approached me and she has been coming to us for the past two weeks. Her name is Anna but I am going to rename her to Stinger Bitch. Stinger Bitch got upset with me because I didn’t take her request of change right away. Actually, let me correct myself, she wanted me to know that she wanted change before she even approached me. In Manhattan, the employees of the Laundromat she went to knew what she wanted the moment she walked in. Guess what slipped out of my mouth! Give up? Well, this is what I told her “Sorry, we don’t roll out the red carpet here.” She wasn’t happy and I opened a new can of worms. She went off on me. Did I deserve it? Maybe but really, I don’t. I’m not the one that was giving the attitude to begin with. At least I gave the cute customer a laugh.

I gave the Sting Bitch her change and she comes back to me saying “this isn’t clean money!” Now, I don’t know what “clean money” means. Maybe it’s a mafia term? Who knows? All I said was “its ok, its clean money if the bodies are hidden.” She didn’t appreciate my humor at all. This made me a sad lil’ monkey.

Long story short, she will continue coming to us but she requested that I should be nice to her because she is an “important” person. She isn’t important. As a matter of fact, she looks like a redneck with a beer gut. –shudders-
