I was working the other day, no suprise there, and we were really busy. I helped two fireman in the middle of the rush, making sure to get them through as fast as I could since they can be called to leave at any time. Anyways, after I helped them, they sat at the table by the register so I overheard them talking. One fireman was saying to the other one, "This is a hard job. It is busy and they are trying to get everyone threw fast, and they have to stock everything, keep everything clean, wash the dishes, and fill the ice cream..." Or at least something along those lines. It made me feel good.
There is one guy that comes in all the time that really likes to give me a hard time and really makes me feel like shit. He always is asking if we are going to school, etc... making it sound like Baskin Robbins is such a dead end job. He came in on Mother's Day while I was trying to get all of those orders done, etc... and I asked him something twice. I said, "Sorry. It has already been a long day." And he said, "How is that possible?" (since it was only a little before noon). I said, "I just have so much I have to do." And he said, "You think you do. You THINK you do." Meaning, that out there in the real world, my job is a joke and I only think that I have it bad.
So, I appreciate that someone who I feel has a much harder job than me, like a fireman, thinks that my job is hard too. I like that there are some people that actually appreciate what I do. Cause mostly I only hear from the jerks.

It's nice when people realize how hard these types of jobs are. Like Nolana says, it's not the JOB that's hard necessarily, it's having to deal with the people!
What a punk. I don't deal well with people, which is why I didn't last in the face-painting business at Lagoon or at being a sales associate at Old Navy. I'm also very glad that you do something that you love. :)
