I don't even hide my lack of enthusiam anymore.
The mask has fallen and shattered all over the floor sending shards in every direction so be careful where you step.Where I work I am supposed to be this peppy friendly person but I just can't fake it these days. I was pulled off the floor today by my boss over my lack of enthusiasm. "Steven, customers have been telling me you look like you don't want to be here." Actually, I am absolutely ELATED to be here it's just all on the inside you see.Honestly? I'm a husk of a human being these days, a shell. Anyways here is what landed me in "hot water" today.
Incident 1: Some rap song was playing over the radio and these two girls come into the shop vibing and singing along to the song playing. One girl says to me "Oh you guys are boppin' in here today" I just looked at her and asked what she wanted to order. I don't care, just tell me what you want so I can get through my line thanks.
Incident 2: A couple came in and the man says he is thankful we are open and is thankful that I am here. I just said, "Ok what can I get for you today?"It's just a coffee shop sir and I don't want to be here I'd rather be anywhere but here if I may be perfectly honest. After the couple had placed their order the man tries to thank me again and I just gave him another "Ok." What am I supposed to say? Honestly.
Due to the above incidents I was pulled off the floor by my boss and she had a word with me about my attitude. I protested and said I did not have an attitude. So I'm not a perky disney princess and these days who is? I'm just trying to maintain some type of neutral existence. I'm here, I'm doing my job and I 'm being professional.
