My soul is burned black and crisp.
I have fallen.
Walked away from the register today, doing stuff. I became aware of somebody waiting at the register.
I rarely do this. The people I work with are idiots; they leave customers stranded at the register on a regular basis and do not give a damn.
So I try hard to be alert.
But I blew it today.
I walked up and the dude was standing at the wrong register giving off an air of exasperation. I directed him around to my register.
He limped over to me. I mean seriously limped. He obviously had a health problem.
When I noticed him limping, I grimaced to myself. Not in embarrassment, not because I felt bad.
I grimaced because I was disgusted. It wasn't bad enough that he was obviously pissed off, he had to goddamn limp just to make me feel worse.
I was disgusted with him. Not me.
This job has burned my soul black and crisp.
I have fallen.
