Fallen Souffle

Or you grocery store cashier or the person at the gas station. It’s really sad when I, as a bakery worker, try to be nice and pleasant and helpful to someone and all they can do is blab on their cell phone. It is so annoying. I bet atleast 10 people come into the bakery on their cell phone and proceed to place an order while still talking to their podiatrist or their accountant or their lonely best friend. I actually had a 10 year old come in and do it today to me. I would hate to think I am interrupting a very important conversation when I ask “Would you like your honey whole wheat sliced?” People don’t even have the decency to smile and be grateful for the fact that people are on their feet for 8 hours straight, doing back breaking work and still have a smile on their face. Even worse is when people come in on their cell phone and proceed to help themselves to the bread we offer samples of with their grimey hands. Eww disgusting, I want to throw the bread away in front of them. I would be happy to slice you a large piece of bread if you would just be patient! We are a busy bakery!

Even worse is when people were mean during Thanksgiving week. It’s bad enough we all had to neglect our families for a week and then we had to deal with rude people who were mad we weren’t making low carb cinnamon raisin walnut bread on Wednesday.

I guess what I am trying to say is be nice to the people that help you out in your day to day life. I always try to be extra nice to the high school kid bagging my groceries and I always thank them for it! A smile does wonders to a person’s day, I try my best to smile when people come in the store the least you could do is smile back and give the respect that is deserved…and get off your damn cell phone!

On that note, I leave you a picture of our Christmas tree. It is in shades of blues and teals and silvers except for the odd red ornament or two, my husband’s NC State ornaments.
