so i work in visitors services in a tourist state and its spring break right now, so basically hellish entitled people. so a woman tried to walk into my workplace without paying last night and when i said “maam you need a ticket to be in here, i need you to leave if you dont have a ticket” while following behind her to stop her from walking in further, she laid out this thinly vieled threat of “bad things happen to people who run up on people like that” and im like.
- you didnt pay
- fucking do it
these ppl act like i wont lose my job over getting treated like shit and the spring breakers are always the worst and most disrespectful out of customers that come in. no class. she then left and walked over to my black coworker and started trying to get him to side with her like i was being the crazy white bitch. dude i am doing my job. i did tell her if she tried it again id call the security but idk. i felt justified because it was a very charged interaction for no reason. and i cant fight her myself so? security. makes sense. It just sucked and it made me feel like i was being seen as some kind of perpetrator when ik im just doing my job.
this job is just constantly fighting people who dont want to pay and want to try my patience to the point where ive been screamed at, told im a bad person, told that im not putting anything good out into the world, been sexually harrased by people on the street, and more shit on a corporate level. i really used to like customer interaction but i just cant stand shit like having to call security and being cussed out and threatened and shit anymore. its not my fault we're charging. i dont decide that.
