There was one lady at work today that was kinda irritating

Like not in the super “i wanna speak to your manager and throw basically a temper tantrum because i’m not getting my way” annoying

But like the “wow this lady has no common sense but a whole lot of entitlement and attitude” 

she walks in and is pretty young looking, so i ask “are you over 18?” (policy is no one under 18 allowed w/o an adult because legal reasons, and i just had 3 under 18 year olds walk in before her that looked pretty similar to her age-wise, so excuse my suspicions)

i ask her this questions 3 times, when she’s standing maybe 2 feet away from my face, because evidently she can’t understand me

which ok i get, i can speak kinda fast sometimes when its something i’ve said a billion times before and i just want to get the conversation over and moving along

but like really? i have to say it 3 times until im basically say “Are. You. Over. 18?” as slow as can be while not sounding like a bad slow motion actor for you to finally understand me?

then she signs in (this part’s important), which is really just a sheet that helps us figure out how many people came in to visit today, then i tell her that cats are over here, dogs are over there, come back to the front desk if you have questions (she’s already strutting away at this point like “shut up fast-talking peasant i know what im doing”)

like 25 minutes go by, i’ve forgotten the interaction at this point

she walks up again and asks “how long is it gonna be before we meet the cats/dogs?”

keep in mind, the cats and dogs are available to see in their cages/kennels, you just can’t interact with them unless you fill out an application to do so

and im like “did you fill out an application yet?’

and she’s like oh no, but i signed in over here earlier….

bitch, there have been at least 60 other people that have shown up today who all signed in, but somehow you are the lucky number 61 who couldn’t figure out that maybe, you should talk to the lady at the front desk if you want to see some specific animals today 

like goddamn, the sign in sheet doesn’t even ask “hey what animals do you want to see today?” so did you just magically expect me to read your mind and know what animals you wanted to see??

guess what, we have something that does that, its the application!

or did you just want us to have you interact with all the 60+ animals we have here?!?

and then she throws out this little comment of “oh you should’ve told me there was an application”

*internal screaming* I would have, but you were already walking away halfway before I was done with my spiel where I tell you to come back to the front desk if you have questions or see an animal you’d like to adopt!! 

thankfully my shift was over then, so i didn’t have to go over her application but jfc how dense to you have to be to be the only person today to not figure out that talking to the lady at the front desk first is  a better idea then waiting around for 20 minutes not knowing what the fuck you’re doing and getting annoyed that you’re waiting??

Edit: Now that I think about it, she actually came up to the desk several times looking like she was about to ask something, but then she would see me turn to look at her (y’know to answer her possible questions), but then she’d turn right around and walk away….

was she afraid of me or something?!??

XDDD

usually i’d ask if she needed any help or had any questions, but we were pretty busy so i just let her go on her merry way, but like did she just not want to talk to me because she thought i’d be mean or something? i thought i was pretty nice/polite/decently cordial to her after the whole are you over 18 thing and was keeping the internal bitching to a minimum

lol her loss, would’ve saved her some time to suck up her pride and just ask
