customer service
i work at tim hortons. for all the non-canadians, tim hortons is like the canadian equivalent to starbucks (personally i find starbucks coffee horrible... but let's not discuss that)
anyways, i have to say it's one of the worst jobs ever. i've worked in customer service before (at mount tremblant renting out ski equipment, and a clothing store in the underground) but nothing like this. maybe it's because when you are hungry, you get irritated. there are 3 main types of customers where i work:
1. the english-speaking tourists who try and order in french, when they clearly cannot, just to "impress" us. bravo! you pretend to be bi-lingual! would you like an award? the only time that you should *attempt* to speak french is at a fancy restaurant. they'll treat you nicer for putitng in some effort.
2. quebecers who talk too fast. i have to say that my dad is one of these people. i understand that french is usually speaken at a faster pace, but it's still comprehendable. please slow your bouche down before i give you a ticket.
3. families who order meals via the drive through. i'm sure this happens at every fast food place, but tim hortons?! how many bagels, ice caps, double doubles, and timbits do you have to order!! remember that there are only 4 people working at any given time, and we each only have two hands. go to a mcdonalds and order your meals there please.

I work in customer service so I understand where you're coming from. -_- Dealing with people sucks, haha.
You know, my mother always said her only goal in life was for her children to be happy.But I feel like not many parents would agree with that statement. Parents want the best for their children but the best in their opinion is not often the best in their children's opinion. Best for a parent might be settling down with a nurturing woman and having five children, while best for that child might be touring the world with his male partner for twenty years. My mum truly wants us to live our own lives. She has standards of course (like, she doesn't want me to live on the streets snorting coke every day) but my being heterosexual has nothing to do with it. She loved me before I came out and loves me the same after.
Personally, when someone tells me they're afraid gays will recruit their children, I retort with "Well, I am only two recruits shy of getting that free toaster oven..." and then I sigh in disappointment or something.
snowdon timmy hoe's is the worst. can't understand one word the cashier is saying or the customer.
