the post i meant to post yesterday

so ok. i consider myself a REALLY liberal person: i make no judgements about sexuality, race, gender, class, etc...

i also that addiction should not be criminalized and that rehab is cheaper than prison...etc...

that being said yesterday i really wanted this drunk-as-fuck dude out of my shop.

allow me to elaborate:

i work for my dad at a small office/warehouse. we are NOT a retail establishment but if someone wants to come in and pick something up quickly we are certainly not going to turn them down...my dad would kill for that extra $50 or whatever...

so yesterday one of these quick pickup guys came in for three cans of flat black and one can of import magnesium spray paint; his total was $15.46...he had $50.46. as i said before we are NOT a store and therefore have no change...and i dunno who this guy assumes i am but i don't personally carry around change for a $50 either...

anyhow, he gets mean and nasty and flounces off to get change. when he gets back he is pissed off and thinks i should give him a deal for the gas he had to use to get to the bank to get change... i calmly informed this guy that we are NOT a retailer and he just needs to suck it the fuck up!

now you're probably wondering why i brought up all that stuff about how progressive i am at the beginning of this post right?

well, buddy was HAMMERED! absolutely fucking smashed and i was afraid...he was rude and beligerant and i was by myself...and i judged him.

did i want him in prison? no, i was just scared...i was scared to be alone in with this guy who was obviously a drunken asshole...

oh, and did i mention he's been in before and was drunk and rude that time too...

fucker can't even see, i swear.

and to top it all off he leaves, gets into his car, and DRIVES off...

when he left i felt dirty and relieved that he was gone and to be totally honest i hope he was so pissed off that i wouldn't give him a $.46 discount that he never comes back!

xo alice.
