Even a Moron Should Know...when someone is busy!

Things even a moron should know!

When someone is busy, it's not ok to ask them to show you something. It's not ok to snap your fingers at them. EVER. It's never ok to make "psssssssssttttt!" sounds at them like they are a dog ignoring you. It's not ok to step in front of the person they are helping and try to take over. It's never ok to say "Hey you!" or 'YO!" at someone who is busy helping someone else.

Yes, when I have a pen/paper or phone in my hand, I'm busy.

Yes, there are other customers in the store. So, no, it's not okay to try to get three different employees to do things for you all at the same time. Stick with the one who is helping you and try not to be an impatient prick.

Yes, that phone on my ear means there is a person on the other end being helped, it does mean I am busy. I'm not just standing there talking to myself, buttmunch. You may be talking to your 'boo' while I'm trying to help you, but I'm not rude like that.

Yes, when I'm typing on the computer, I'm busy.

Yes, when I'm actually talking to another person and doing a transaction for them, I'm BUSY!

Yes, when I'm talking to you, I'm going to ignore your RUDE child who keeps saying, "HEY YOU" at me. Teach your little monkey some manners or take him back to the zoo.

Yes, that other person REALLY WAS there before you, and trying to step in front of them and shove them out of the way isn't working for you. I did see them first, therefore you can wait. I know you are used to being a jerk and getting your way, but I've been in line with people like you and I'd rather help the people who were there FIRST. Just because you had to wait for HUD to get your housing money approved, doesn't mean you are now free from waiting ever again.

Yes, I did see that the white lady was at the counter many minutes before you even came into the store. (Yes, I did notice when you came in, we have a bell on the door. I also greeted you so I saw you come in.) I'm not waiting on her first because she's white, it's because she happened to be at the counter before you. Claiming that I'm only waiting on her first because she's white makes YOU look like a total idiot. Please just shut up before you confirm it.
