I'm In Love With My Barista: Confession Tuesday: I already want to quit my job

Confession Tuesday: I already want to quit my job

So here's the deal: I just started a new serving job and I really don't think it's going to work out. Here are some reasons why:

1) My manager looks at my breasts constantly. I'm kind of used to this and don't usually take offence to the odd glance, but this is more often than usual and my manager is a woman.

2) People touch the food. Which would be cool if it were just the cooks, but it isn't, it's everyone. Servers handle money, dirty dishes, and then manhandle people's meals. I can't handle that. Shudder. The people who actually are supposed to touch the food shouldn't. There is no dishwasher person, so everyone helps out, which is awesome. However, I've seen the cooks go from the kitchen to the dish pit and back without washing their hands. GROSS!

3) It's slow. Very slow. The lunch "rush" is less than an hour long. For tips this is lame. Really lame.

So, what do I do?! I really don't feel right about working there when I wouldn't eat the food myself and actually advise my friends not to. Also, I don't want to waste their time and money to train me when I know I want to take off. Furthermore, if I am looking for something else, I should get on it now. Hmmm, blogging this out, I think I've already got my answer!

Stuff my friends say I shouldn't say to or do around guys (especially if I'm interested)

If your man has been gone for a week and tells you how much he missed you, tell him you didn't really notice he was gone.
Compare him to your old sneakers you've had since grade nine. Mean it as a compliment.
When he gets his hair cut, ask if he's happy that he got rid of his Napoleon Dynamite hairstyle
When a guy is clearly upset, ask him if he's grouchy
In the middle of your first kiss, stop him abruptly and with disgust and a sour face exclaim, "Don't kiss like that!"
Tell him you think he has caterpillar eyebrows and ask if he's ever considered tweezing.
Assure him that even though he's not as attractive as the guys you usually date, that you like his personality a lot
Call him the wrong name
Ask if him if he is a vampire
Ask him if he's gained weight, especially if he's self conscious about this
If you've just started dating, tell him you already jotted down some wedding ideas.
Accidentally call him by the nickname you had for your ex.
Tell him that you're not stressed about the first kiss with him because it will probably be gross anyway.
Zero in on how how short he is. Actually use the term "hobbit".
Laugh when he expresses concern about hair loss, better yet, point out how it is thinning a lot faster in the back
Talk about my granny knee high stockings. Mention that they are beige.
Mention that he doesn't do something as well as so and so, especially BBQing
Tell him I think he needs counselling
React with shock when he tells me his age and exclaim that I didn't realize he was *that* old.
Pee while talking to him on the phone
Ask him to keep a toothbrush at my house because his breath is usually stinky
Tell him I can eat a pound of bacon to myself with no prob
Ask "size" questions
While playing football in the rain, throw mud in his eye
Tell one of my guy friends that I had a dream I made out with him the night before and that it was great (apparently this is awkward)
Tell my barista crush that the organic blueberry bars are always soggy and gross at his store
Ask if a guy shaves his body hair, especially back
Fart, especially loudly or stinkily
