I'll Cut A Bitch

As a friend, you get to take certain liberties. For example, when one of my friends says "fag", I know they're kidding, and I laugh. When someone I don't know says "fag", I assume they're bigots and hold it against them, even if they're not really discriminating against anyone. As my friend, most people have learned that: A) I'm an asshole, B) I'm constantly joking, and C) I have quite the potty mouth. Quite a few of them know where I work, enough of them know how hard it is for me to keep a job, and a couple of them know I love my job. Really, I do. As far as jobs go, mine is the shit. I get to work with awesome people, I get to make and eat delicious food, and I get to make money everyday.

So, when someone I consider my friends threatens my livelihood, I'm a little worried. No, that's not right- I'm PISSED. You're my friend, coming to my place of work, so I treat you like a friend. Really, if you wanted to be treated like a customer, act like you're a customer and maybe don't go to the cafe you used to work at where everyone knows you. Simple enough, right? You were correct, what I said was unproffesional, and if there were other customers around, I wouldn't have said it. But you know what? There weren't. And given the situation, I don't think it's beyond me to expect you to come to me before you go to my boss. You know, a little, "Hey, what you said wasn't very professional/made me feel uncomfortable/was rude."

Instead, I recieved a warning for my behavior. Behavior I would have never shown to a customer I didn't PERSONALLY know and didn't consider a friend. Well, I won't have to worry about that anymore. Because, obviously, we're not friends, so I don't need to treat you as such. I'll treat you like a customer if I see you at work, and I'll treat you like scum anywhere else. Because I can't have people I can't trust right now, I have too much going on. I've got school to worry about, and getting a place, and I have people counting on me, so I don't have the energy to listen to your loud mouth berate ME.

P.S. Didn't you get fired for being severely unprofessional ALL THE TIME?
