Taking the corporate dick

Greetings, and welcome to the Angry Cash/Tech blog. If you think I'm directly ripping the Angry/Angriest Pharmacist, you're probably right. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I just got to thinking that if these guys can rant about the douchebags that pick up their drugs, I can talk about the tech point of view, and the douchebags that pick up groceries.

What you need to know about me is the bare minimum. I'm a young adult still in college, I work at a grocery store and a pharmacy, both chain stores, and I have a bad attitude. If I offend you, don't read any further. My rantings will be profane and angry, but also honest and in my own words. There will be no dancing around subjects, there will be no filters.

So today, my rant is about taking the corporate dick. I recently got the second job at the pharmacy so I can pay for college. With my about $9/hour at the grocery store and the $7.50 from the pharmacy, I'd have a good chunk of change saved up. Here's the thing though. The grocery store decided to pull a real dick move and scheduled my for 9.5 hours. I mean, this would be nothing if I hadn't been working at LEAST 20 hours. So fuck you guys. If you're going to throw a shitfit about me getting another job to pay the bills, then I must be the second coming of Christ. Fuck management and everyone that looks like management.

Seriously? I'm a student. I need two jobs to pay the fucking bills. I can't do that when you decide to get all pissy about a second job and screw me out of hours. I'm available 45 hours a week, and 9.5 hours is just a fucking joke. If you're going to fire me, just do it already!

Now, that's nothing compared to the baldyheaded fucks at the corporate level. These are the people that say "we're going to save the environment by offering organic products and use reusable bags" and then at the same time litter their stores with paper garbage that proclaims how "green" we are. Seriously, make up your goddamn mind! These are also the assholes who decide the payrate and the MuZak. Seriously, I would not mind at all working for my $9/hour if I got to listen to decent music. I'm not asking for Framing Hanley or Metallica or anything like that, but anything is better than the Jonas Brothers. Seriously, it makes me want to take my car keys and burst my eardrums.

Then the immediate holier-than-thous are just fucking unbearable. I'm a shift supervisor as well as a cash monkey, but when the other shift supervisors don't have the god damn common courtesy to fucking give the cashiers their breaks on time and don't say a word, that pisses me off too.

Whatever. I'm done for the night. Ranting has tired me.
