Ugh. My patience was put to the test today.
Starbucks, at least in the DC and Manhattan areas, were closed yesterday, simply out of respect for those mourning, and in recognition of all this crap happening.
Well, we opened today after being closed for two days.
Most of the customers were curious why we were closed, and understood the reasoning, even appreciated it for what it tried to be. Others... grrr...
I just wanted to reach over and strangle.
"So, did you enjoy your day off?" -Said by older white woman, in fancy clothes, and a feather hat. The tone, snide.
"You know, the government was open yesterday, who do you people think you are?" -Said by middleaged white man in expensive tailored suit. Tone, obvious.
And other, less annoying comments, but all adding up.
Most people though were cool, and it was interesting to hear their conversations, or talk with them about what happened.
In other news, I may be zeroing in on a $60 - $70K job. If I can get security clearance.
