I ask them to expedite an order they’ve said was being shipped three times already they say it’ll cost more than the copay and I lay into the guy. I was calm. Annoyed but calm the entire ordeal for the entire month but stress from fear of running out of supplies and tiredness just broke me and I took it out on this poor worker. I feel bad but I have no regrets because I got my supplies on time. I fucking hate the company’s for using us workers as fucking shields and wasting our customers time. I truly believe this is intentional and might actually be a designed decision and not just happenstance due to cutting costs. I hate being forced to be an asshole just to survive. I hate this all.
