taking the risk of repeating myself...another rant about people.
today, at work (where else) i served someone and for some reason unknown to human kind the till decided to make part of the order disappear. we noticed that only half the order had been completed, only to find out that the guy had actually never paid for his food (cos the till made it disappear). so i go explaining that to him, telling him how much his food was and hinting very strongly that he actually owes some money. so this **** decides that this must be his lucky day and has the cheeck to say 'well i think we'll call it quits, cos we've been waiting for our food forever'. Bang. he didn't even blush. He just blatantly refused to pay. Two seconds later the food arrived. They had waited a whole 18 minutes. surely that is not a ridiculous amount to wait for a stack of barbequed ribs in a busy restaurant.
maybe i'm being naive here, but if you are about to consume something you'll pay for it, no? i know he's the customer and all, but that is just taking the biscuit. it's like those people that keep stumm when a cashier is giving them too much change and just walk off with it.
oh, and another thing that just really made my day. since the bloody olympics are going to be 4 times as expensive as planned originally (how? honestly) some of the missing funds is going to come out of the arts budget. great. so, i'm currently training to be an actress, which is already a difficuly way of scraping a living and now they are cutting the funding? i think i want to change my career and work in construction. wtf.
