As Simple as Salt: A Bittersweet Finale

So now that I'm working two jobs, less interesting things are happening in my life. Although both of my jobs are in customer service, the problems are new. With new comes less annoyance. I have yet to get screamed at with this job. I have yet to chastised for my intelligence, or lack there of. I have yet to be yelled at by a boss, simply because I am new. So, I will not write about this new job, because my life there is simple. Simple is boring. So no, my one reader a week, I will not bore you with my simple job. But, as I mentioned, with two jobs, I have less interesting things to talk about, and less annoyances. Until someone yelled at me for something as simple as Salt.
As I assume you have gathered, you can't walk into Foodies thinking that it's going to be a good day, because that isn't true. It's completely false, actually. You know, right off the bat, that your day is going to suck. We associates have learned this and have begun walking into work, turning to the nearest person, and asking "what's going wrong today?" Well, mostly the answer is long and stupid. This particular day, the answer was salt. We were out of salt.
Well, if you work, or have ever worked in any food service, you know that bitches love their salt. People go through salt faster than anything. Everyone salts everything. So this day, when people got their food, walked over to the condiment stand and saw no salt packets, their world broke.
"Can I have some salt packets please? There isn't any out here."
"I'm so sorry, we are actually out of them.."
"Well what are you putting on your fries?!"
Well, because you know, we take the time to open fifteen things of salt packets per french fry, we have that kind of time. I would explain that it comes from this huge bucket of salt, and they would rant about how awful this establishment was and then storm away.
I feel like I have no fight in me anymore, no rant. People are stupid, and they do stupid things. There is no getting around that. No matter where you go, you're going to see people, doing stupid things. I just hope to pass a lesson on to you, lonely reader, don't be stupid. Don't ask stupid questions, learn how to order at a fast food restaurants, if you're not at McDonald's, don't add mc in-front of everything, and be healthy, you don't really need 72 salt packets to go on your already salted fry. Be smart, and just be kind. As simple as that.
