Now what?

So I walk into work this morning, with a co-worker, and a manager. Typical Saturday at the workplace, right? Computer's not running, nothing new, it's happened before. However by day's end, my co-worker had quit, my boss, had quit, and I had been minding the store most of the day with a busted computer. Am I upset, I know the reason why they quit, and I don't blame them, I'd quit if I got the news they got too (it's a good thing). However, the experience let me observe human beings at their finest: when they want things instantly.

I was able to observe at its rawest, patience, understanding, as well as those who were impatient, restless, and just plain snobs. Perhaps those snobs must not realize how stressful work is on the other side of the counter and that the more you act like a pain, the slower things go. So next time you're stuck in a slow moving line because of a cashier, don't pound him for it, trust me he or she is trying to get you in and out as fast as possible. (NOTE: This does not apply to plain obnoxious customers and irrational "let me take as much time as I can even though he already said he has other customers" people who call at the most inopportune times).
