After a couple weeks of training, I'm now officially a 7-11 employee. I can't believe I ended up working at a 7-11. Being an Indian guy, my friends would often joke about me working at one and I would always think "not in a million years." I feel a bit pathetic because this is only my first job and I'm 19 years old. It feels even worse knowing that I didn't really do anything to get the job either. My sister is trying to buy a 7-11 and she basically runs one that's owned by a family friend so that when she buys one she'll be well prepared. She needed another employee and asked (more like forced actually) me to work. My experience so far hasn't been great. I really don't like dealing with people. I'm always worried about them getting frustrated with me and treating me like crap, which will leave me upset for a long time. Even the smallest negative comments get burned into my mind and leave me feeling like crap for weeks. A few days ago a man came in with his young daughter and tried to use the broken ATM machine. He walked up to me and my coworker and asked us if we knew what was going on with the ATM machine. We said "Sorry but we can't help you out with the ATM machine. We'll have to call somebody in to get it fixed. You can try calling the support number on the machine and maybe they can help you out." So he goes back and tried to use it again for a few minutes but it wasn't working. So he goes to leave the store and as he's walking out the door he yells out "F*** you" and flips us off. I hate knowing that there will always be people like that coming in. There's a lot of back room work that I'd prefer to do like checking shipments, stocking the cooler, making hot foods because I don't have to deal with people but all the employees do a little bit of everything. It's not that I'm just worried about customers getting upset, but I'm just socially awkward and cannot interact with people. But maybe that's something that can be changed by working there. Ok so this has been pretty much my only blog post since May when I said "I'll start blogging more" but I'll actually start doing that. It seems like a good way of releasing frustration, which is something I'll always have. Since most of my posts will probably be me talking about stuff that's bothering me it wont leave room for discussion but feel free to comment :) I'll try and make sure not every post is about my life and instead have other more interesting topics. *with heavy Indian accent* Thank you (for reading), come again! :D
