Drunk........*sigh*

Its been a long day last weekend, here in Fredericton theres been a Festival in which case i DETESTE as of Saturday. The Havest Jazz and Blues Festival had been a regular occuring event here in Fredericton. Of course, theres alot of people attending the Festival, people laugh, cry, laugh again.....then they drink alcohol. On the 17th of September, i was working At Subway from 6pm to 3am (in other words, i was closing that day)

It was around midnight- 1am (i really forget the time) We where cleaning up the restaurant and occassionally serving some customers, and then cleaning again.

I was assigned on Drive-thru (my favorite thing of to do at work), i served a few cars then and there. Suddenly, this blue car pulls from the Canadian Tire gas station (which is on the far right from the store, quite the walk) and these FOUR drunk people (1 male 3 females) ALL intoxicated. I've never had to be this much patient with these customers in my life at Subway. They where cooperative, yet i felt very uncomfortable, later on i found out i could of had them removed from the store by the cops, (since our policy states that if an employee feels uncomfortable while serving an intoxicated customer, i can call the cops) yet i would have called the cops, but the manager later told me the whole policy thing AFTER they left probably DUI'ing without care.

The reason i hate the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, was because OUR Subway, somehow gets several intoxicated customers and it really bothers me. What i really dont understand is that the Festival is ALL the way down the hill and OUR Subway is ALL the way UP the hill. Which prompts me to say that there is a Subway near the Festival, but yet they decide to fricking go up the hill and then just f**k us up and stall the customers and make themselves look bad.

*sigh* And i hate being in charge, our store has hired more people, and some people from other stores transfer to our store. And Saturday (the 18 th of September) was basically the same thing. Except i was in charge, I thought it would be great to lead the newbies and teach them how to do things. Except that handling angry customer would have to fall to MY responsibilities. And on that Saturday, that was the worst day i've had to work during the school year. Two hours of non-stop customers, especially when theres a group of teen-french-quebecers that just tried to stall the line and made us really shaky and almost made me snap!!!

Right now, i have a full school week to get my mind of work and hopefully i have a better closing next friday (although i have airsoft on Sunday....YAY!!)


Whatever happens, its gonna be more that a footlong of trouble LOL!!
