but shut your pie hole.
Backstory time. Thursday and Friday I was up at cleaning at 6am for a chain of restaurants that are owned by one family. People think these places are franchises, but they're not. So when the owner decides he wants to visit, ALL the managers clean from the lowest corner to the highest ledge getting their places ready for inspection. Some managers only got like 8 hours sleep all last week because they were cleaning. Other managers from texas, colorado, and california flew in to help out. It's a Big Deal.
I rearranged my schedule and went in early thursday and friday and pretty much only cleaned these places. A 45 minute job became 3 hours. Windows, sills, awnings, the frames under the awnings, high ledges, etc. So when a customer says "Oh, it's supposed to rain today." Yeah, shut your pie hole. Then another customer says "You're fighting a losing battle (with the incoming rain)" yeah, shut your pie hole. I'm tired, cranky and you really don't have a clue why I'm here cleaning and yes I know it's going to rain and I know your trying to be friendly, but please, shut your pie hole.
Of course, I didn't say that to my customer's customers but it was harder and harder to not say anything the longer I was busting it.
Have any of you guys been so worn that you actually said something to a passerby?
