Impatient Whore

So there I am, waiting in line to get my morning coffee and bagel at Dunkin' Donuts. There's this pointy, bony bitch in front of me. She is ordering like 2 or 3 giant boxes of coffee and then ordered 2-3 dozen donuts. Not " give me a mix" but specifically picking out each different one. There's a crowd at the counter. Some other guy was ordering a couple dozen donuts. But she then belches out: "How much longer is this going to take? I can't stay much longer." They tell her they are brewing fresh pots to fill her dumpster-sized boxes of coffee. She gets all pissed off and starts cawing at them that "it should have been done by now." Are you kidding? Did you think they would tell everyone else waiting that all the coffee is gone because you and the caffeine-camels you are ordering for have sucked it all down? No! There is a balance to the way things are done. You don't command the services of the entire staff at your whim. You ordered a lot, now be patient while they fill that order. Christ! Get there earlier if you are running late. Either way, shut the fuck up.

Holy Krishna! It's Telemarketing Hell

I'm sure we've all been in this situation. You call customer service and you get some Indian babbling to you in broken English. What makes things worse is they ask you questions and you are constantly saying "can you repeat that?" because you can't understand what the fuck it is they are saying!

I just got off the phone with one of these types and all I wanted to know is what the tracking number was for the part they promised to overnight to me. They said 'call back in an hour and we'll have the number'. Call back in an hour? I asked if the part shipped and they said 'yes.' What take so fucking long to answer my question??? So I'm guessing it takes an hour to get a hold of someone over here in America to tell them what the number is. Or maybe they tied a message to a cow and nudged it in my direction. Holy Jebus! What the hell is going on with America? Has big corporation become so fucking greedy that they can't even splurge on the pittance that American telemarketers make to keep jobs over here? Greedy, scumbag pieces of shit! Hitler is waiting for you people in hell!
