People from Stevens should die.
Perhaps the most painful part about working in food service is having to deal with customer attitudes. Some of them say (and they can be so very cruel) that we are being paid to keep up with their moods. The only other people who have to put up with such crap are therapists, and those guys are paid by the hundred.
I think there is nothing worse that being treated like you are scum of the earth just because you are on the other side of the counter, just because you are the one wearing the visor and the apron. True, we must be financially desperate to cling to such menial work. And true, some of us are really to stupid to even attempt working anywhere else. But it is not difficult to treat us like
people, because as much as customers would like to think we are selling our souls to them, all we are really selling are the products. Pride excluded.
If you plan to tip us
just so you can treat us like shit, please keep your money. Our feelings are just as valid as yours and we would rather that you treat us accordingly than you spare us a few pennies.
---------------Are you tired too? :(

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
