cgl related work stories ?

I used to work at a cake shop for a few months over the spring/summer.
Our uniform was pretty much just to wear this apron over our normal clothes, your bog-standard white apron.

I wore a very casual black blouse, short black skirt, leather work shoes and thick wool black tights with this apron one day.

This day happens to be the sunday of a con.

mfw some skinny and greasy weeaboo with an unfortunate look about her, tells me I look like a 'gothic lolita, which is this uber cool fashion in japan! just like me!'.
Mfw she's wearing a pleated polyester shirt, a t-shirt and converse.

>This ita is wearing a naruto tobi mask
I was in a horrible mood from having an unpleasant colleague, the manager, on shift that day and having a shout at some dick I used to be friends with at the very same con that morning.

> ''How much are your pasties? ''
>''£3.50''
>''oh thats too espensive...how much are the cakes?''
>''£2.50''
>''uh..''
>'' There's a mcdonalds next door ''
>''proper lolitas don't eat junk food''

I dont even know how I contained my rage, I probably looked visabley angry at this point but I didn't say anything.

>''So how much do you have? ''
>''£1 ''
>Wut
>wut
>wut..
THIS IS A CAKESHOP IN ONE OF EUROPES BIGGEST TRAIN STATIONS.
JUST GO TO MCDONALDS, YO.

I blink at her in disbelief and she crab walks off to Chez Mcdonald.

Yeah, I'm a bitch, sue me.

The very same day some faggot told me that the cake is a lie, expecting me to be oblivious and confused. I hate people so much some times.

It's not impossible to break your hymen riding a bike/horse, etc, but it does not involve penetration. You'd still be considered a virgin of sorts, (but there'd be no hymen for "proof").

They're talking about actually using it for penetration, which is what Spoony said the chick actually claimed to have done.

Also, not a fabric related story but pastry girl up there reminded me of something.

I work at an office supply store that does a lot of tech work and copy production which weirdly draws in a shitload of neckbeards and redditors. I get people constantly making references to basic ass vidya/internet culture and expecting me to play the dumb bimbo who doesn't know what they're on about. Shit's annoying.

I had a dude come in once that wanted a set of those "You park like a dick, quit doing that" cards and I giggled like a retard at him.

Sage because off topic and because none of what I'm saying is coherent as im half asleep

All right, going to go all science-y in here... Technically there is no "breaking" of the hymen. The hymen is a membrane around the edges, and if anything happens, it would get stretched. A normal hymen is completely open in the middle. To have a hymen membrane that covers the opening that needs to be broken is actually a medical condition, and not normal. Just had to put it out there, considering so many people don't know that. The traditional hymen is essentially a myth. Science!

Sage for off-topic.

I live in Vancouver BC and I get this all the fucking time.

We have a very high population of Hindu and Chinese people here and in the surrounding cities (Richmond especially) and that's great!

It is NOT great when I can't even get fucking served no matter where I go.

I was at the mall a few weeks ago and it was a god damned trial just to get any lunch. Both the woman serving the food and the woman at the register didn't speak one lick of English, and it took about 4 tries (no lie) to get my simple fucking order of "Noodles and Sesame Chicken, please" right. They just couldn't do it.

I'm all for people immigrating. I'm all for equal-opportunity employment and everyone getting jobs and working.

But if you are speaking DIRECTLY to the customer, you sure as shit had better be able to speak the native/majority language of the country you are in. Holy fuck.

For me, I just got my lunch order wrong and had to send it back repeatedly.
But what if someone has allergies and the people serving them aren't able to understand? People could get sick/hurt like that, and THEN who's facing a lawsuit?

just point to the picture

or the entry in the menu?

or basically point to whatever source provided you with the information that they were serving the dish

in the worst case scenario, look for somebody who is in the process of actually serving or eating the dish you desire and point furiously at it

It's in a mall food court, if there's even pictures there at all they are behind the servers and there's only pics of about 40% of the food they have

There is no menu. It's in a mall.

It's a Chinese place. It wasn't a specific dish, it was "Can I have some noodles and some chicken"

All the food was out in trays behind some glass.
And really, you don't think I tried pointing at what I wanted? I was jabbing furiously at the MASSIVE TRAY OF NOODLES but somehow I still got Sweet and Sour Pork with a vegetable stir fry.

carry in your wallet a picture of a dish of noodles with chicken

or just a picture of a dish with noodles, then paperclip it together with pictures of chicken, veggies etc so you can mix and match based on what foreign food you feel like eating today

Stephanie was a very pale white girl. She had Loooooooong (down to her butt) straight thinning dyed black hair which she always wore parted down the middle. She was quite tall, but weighed less than 100lbs probably. She never wore makeup when I saw her. I think she had a nose ring. She would wear a black tshirt. It was clearly a size small or xs because it was short on her tallness, but it was super baggy because of how thin she was. It'd usually be like, an Orange County Choppers or Ozzy Osbourne shirt. No visible boobs or butt really (obvious drug usage.) She had bright blue eyes, I remember them. She would wear flared jeans, probably in the smallest size she could find, but they were really loose fitting, again because of her size (or lack there of). She had a thing for toesocks because I would see her a few times in dirty flipflops wearing stripy bright colored toesocks. I think that was actually some consideration for others because I'm sure her feet were some next-level raucheyness. Would always have her crown royal tip bag/purse gripped very tightly in her harpie-talon, very long, usually black nails. No jewelry.

Another time, with the one flipflop and one highheel, she had on yoga pants. They were decently fitted, but rather stained and old. One heel was black, and the flipflop was one of the black ones which she wore, with toesocks. This time I believe they were just pink toesocks. I think she thought she could "get away" with wearing a heel and a flipflop because they were both open-toed and black, and they made her stand with a bit of a hip-out kinda stance. I think she had on a lace cami that was a teal color, no bra, but not like it'd hold anything up anyway. I believe she had two nautical star tattoos, one over each 'boob'.

Her teeth weren't horrible, but she was missing one on the left side. They were yellowed, but it led me to believe dental care was a little more of a priority than her fellow junkies. Saw a toothbrush in her tip bag once, which made laugh. Did she use it so often, she had to have it with her? I pictured her brushing them after each...ahem, 'performance' outside of the club. She had some sores on her neck and arms. I saw some scars that might look like old heroin trackmarks.

If you walked up to her, or she caught eyes with you, she'd immediately bust out a MASSIVE toothy grin and her eyes would get so bright and big. She might've been a junkie, but her smile was quite infectious, and your face would automatically smile back. Even in the throws of addiction, her smile was enchanting. It was kinda heartwarming to know that drugs couldn't crush that. She could have been incredibly beautiful, tall, and sexy. But I learned over time that Steph was beautiful in her own special way.

;_; y'all are making me tear up.

I had some cool and wonderful coworkers, and some shit ones. My main manager was very cool. She was extremely in to making sure our young girls had their work schedules set to our school schedules and extra curriculars. Instead of looking for kids with open schedules, she looked for the ones involed in clubs and sports and stuff. She liked that a lot. I really appreciated that shit.

There was this ONE GIRL though....Kimmy.

Kim was younger than me, she was a farm girl who was incredibly obnoxious. She was very fat and had a massive mole (like, literally the size of a quarter) on her face. She would purposefully laugh very loud and snort, pretending it was her real laugh. She was just really shitty at knowing what was appropriate to say to people. I'd hear her say shit all the time like "The only reason I work here is cuz it's the only place that hired me lol"....like, to customers. She had no friends, and was really fucking stupid. Like crazy dumb. She'd constantly tell pointless stories that no one cared about, concerning her horses and misc. livestock.

"HAHAh omg the other day, I was with my horse Dicknose (I never cared to remember their names) and I was cleaning out his stall, and I tripped over his hoof and almost fell!! Hahah, and he looked at me like 'seriously? you're dumb!' hahahah it was so funny"

There is no such thing as a fun-run triathlon.

Maybe for hercules.

Fun runs are non-competetive events and include short distances where like 2km, 5km, 10km where non-runners, kids and senior citizens participate. The longest "fun run" ive seen is a 21km half-mara that allowed for 12 hours to complete.

A fun-run triathlon would be just madness, not just by the distance and time taken to complete it alone, but also because of the high risk of somebody who dosnt know what they're doing drowning.

Making everyone work in retail at least once would be a good idea but unfortunately it doesn't guarantee that they will be understanding. I used to work at a call centre a couple years back. There was one woman who's transaction I couldn't complete because she was lacking the necessary information to proceed, and started complaining that no one told her and her bank never told her anything. All I could do was apologize because usually the people at the bank don't know shit about how we operate, but I couldn't very well tell her that unless I wanted to be fired. She starts telling me that I should talk to my manager to fix this problem because just apologizing doesn't help, and that she's worked in retail and knows how it is. If you've worked retail then you should know better than to complain to someone at the bottom of the food chain. We don't control the policies. If it's such a bother then making a formal complaint would do you more good, but of course she probably can't be assed to do that. I actually had talked to my supervisor about the fact that the banks never supply the right information and she told me there was nothing we could do about it. Can't say I didn't try.

That would definitely make sense if she was attempting to buy something, but the company I worked for didn't sell anything; they only offered a free service. Because we deal with money, there's a certain amount of security that's needed to ensure things don't go wrong. By taking the risk of entering information that she was unsure of, she would be increasing the chance of losing a lot of money. Aw hell, what am I saying? People are too stupid to think that far ahead.
