i'm actually a manager of a deli. I don't think i'm much different. I actually talk to my employees about sweet threads I see.

>>677212519
and yes why not.

>>677211772
No, this is Patrick. I am not a krusty crab.

>>677211772
I'm more or less the same. I just don't share my political opinions with people I work with that I don't consider more than mere acquaintances.

>>677212628
I managed a deli too at a supermarket in a small town. Ez job plus the boars head guys always have me some free cheese and dressings

>>677212628
>H-hey Martha you catche that loli thread last night was cash

Manager at a large oil field company. I'm completely different there. Gotta manipulate the system to climb the ladder.

I'm a different person in front of my gf, I pretend I love her but I'm too afraid of being alone so I pretend to be happy.

>>677212887
Martha never did appreciate loli very much...

>>677211772
If you can't control yourself at work, I just don't know what's wrong with you other than maybe you have some sort of social anxiety. In my job we spend probably 2 hours a day driving together if not 4 hours. I've noticed, and I've had corroborating stories told by one of my friends who carpools with people, that people when stuck in a car will say fucking ANYTHING to me. Racist shit. Conspiracy shit. Relationship shit. The stupidest shit and completely ignorant/misguided opinions you can fucking think of.

I think they must just be saying stuff because they think they need to. Otherwise I can't imagine why they say the shit they do. I'm not just some overly sensitive shut in either. Though I will say I'm speaking from a slightly blue-collar viewpoint so I work with people with less education than other people might. So does my friend.

>>677212887

I guess I didn't really answer the question. I control myself. I act mostly the same but I won't express opinions about anything beyond the most base of questions. I think talking politics and the other things I mentioned is inappropriate in a work setting. But I am the same person mostly.

I'm a shifty fuck to start with. I also enjoy deception, so no, my "workface" and public in general never see the real actual me.

>>677213863
I don't get why so many people get wrapped up in personal, religious, or political views. It shouldn't define you. They are strictly ideas that exist because you have come to the logical conclusion they must be true.

I try to be real with customers I interact with at work. Sometimes more than other times if I run into someone cool. In that case I take them into the bathroom and show them my genitals, expecting no one to know.

>>677213160
6 figure salary. I just make myself the person they want me to be.

Oh absolutely. At work I'm this doting and absent minded professor persona. Gentle and a bit forgetful and smile when people ask for stuff. The whole Professor Farnsworth routine.

Then when I get home I whip my wife and side slut on a torture rack I built in my basement and choke at least one of them on my cock until they throw up, get drunk, take off my suit and tie and put on a lot of black, come on /b/ and look for gore and weird porn and argue about how much I hate niggers. I'm pretty sure everyone in the office would die if they know how different I was here.

>>677214942
hahahhahahaah
peasant

Life seems to be work then bills right on the cusp of failing being poor sucks fucking dick and worthless degrees only bring bullshit school loans for a job you never got!

>>677211772
I act the same, just with less swearing.

>>677215147
I keep waiting for that moment. I'm hoping that something good comes along.

>>677214164
I don't think they define you. I don't judge the people I work with for what they are saying, really. I'm really just taking notice that they are saying things. I already forgot the dumb shit one of my coworkers said a couple weeks ago, but I haven't forgotten he said it. I don't hold it against him really. I just don't get it. Why, at work of all places, do people let their worst out?

>>677212628
>>677212875
No way! I ran a deli 3 years ago in a medium sized town

>>677215339
That may be the only place they have to vent. Maybe nobody else listen to them. They haven't discovered /b/

>>677215234
Disagreed. The only reason I have this
>>677214514
Is because I have a degree. It has shit to do with what I do for a living. I sympathize with the notion that upper education is mostly useless, but the way big companies work, they would rather have an educated person in the spotlight.

>>677215563
Yeah I mean you're probably 100% right about that. I'm not a dick about it when they say it. I'm a pretty soft-spoken dude unless I need to be. That's a good point though. I will keep that in mind.

>>677214514
this makes me feel worthless

I'm an asshole at work because I can't stand people who aren't working as hard as I am. Working fabrication and constantly having to say to co workers "Whats the next step" because they are standing around slack jawed.

>>677215773
im not a deli manager but i work at a kroger deli lel

>>677215845
I've been working a deli for 4 years. I wish I could find an entry level IT job and get the fuck out of it.

>>677215296
I hope so. I'm a firm believer that life is a son of a bitch with no rhyme or reason, and being dealt a shitty hand in life is a thing.

>>677215839
That got me in trouble

Sure my numbers were good, but because I worked too hard they expected it of me, and because I was an ass they promoted my co-worker to manager instead. He now works less hours for more money than me.

>>677215811
Wasn't my intentions. I know I couldn't make a claim without at least giving a little oc proof.

>>677216119
And they say autism is a super power.

>>677215978
I've been in the deli for 3 years i'm pretty bored with it but ive got my other job at gardenvision that pays better and is all around better.

>>677216119
Been there. You should only ever work 105% harder than everyone else. That way you look like a good solid worker, but your not killing yourself. I actually got "promoted" to a supervisor which just turned out to working 200% harder for a 20% pay increase.

>>677216407
Such is life. Suck it up and try to climb the ladder, because a couple more rungs makes all the hard work pay off.

How old are you if you don't mind me askin?

>>677211772
I want to think I put on a professional act but I've been catching myself acting like I would outside the work environment. I work at a DD, been there for one year last week but got promoted 6 months in to shift leader. Now I'm just tired of peoples shit and I've been slipping. Example a person came through asking for a large hot regular with one pump of cs. Repeated it back and got the ok. But before she drove off to the window she sayed " And one caramel swirl."

She got to the window and being the only one there in line she immediately got cashed out. As a formality I repeat the order again to make sure it's correct.

"Hi you have the large hot regular with one pump of caramel swirl?"

> yeah there's one pump of caramel swirl right?

"Yeah. $2.45 please."

>are you sure?

"Yes. I made the coffee and labeled it with '1 cs.'" ( dd cups let you label. Clutch for these moments tbh.)

>okay you made it. So you're positive it's just one pump right? I don't like too much. It's too sweet.


Finally I just snapped and said "lady if you don't think I can handle one coffee you've got me mistaken. Also if sweetness is an issue we have sugar free shots. It's $2.45."

Doesn't sound bad but I know I upset her. Didn't get a complaint which is cash.

Lol I've worked at a deli for six years. I remember a thread like this a while back that was also full of delifags. Something about that job, i guess. I can't seem to escape.

>>677216874
I'll be 30 this year. Kinda oldfag I know. Been in this particular business since I was 21

>>677216842
You know what you're doing, how to do it, and have a pretty good idea of what is going to happen. You're in your comfort zone and reasonably in control. You fear spontaneity.

Hello me.

>>677217147
Well that gives me some relief. I'm 23 and and shit broke. Perhaps it's still in the cards.

>>677216709
nah but seriously brotein shake, you need to chill out. shitting all over your coworkers feels great, but you need to realize when you're alienating yourself.

>>677217170
This is terrible for personal growth. It would help tremendously if you got a new job. This is exactly where i'm at now. I'm desperately trying to get out.

>>677217424

Oh I was just sharing that story with an at-risk anon, I don't even work there anymore.

Hopefully he takes a hint from this thread.

>>677217344
Yeah, my little bro was having a hard time with things when he was around 22. 24 now and he's making bank working on wind turbines. Had to go through a 6 month course I believe then he was hired.

I adjust accordingly to my surroundings. I act asian around asian people, black around black people, and autistic around white people

>>677217774
we're all at risk anons! he probably won't. i don't think we really take hints. right? we all learn the hard way. anyway i ....if i were amiable i would have been promoted. not "getting along" with people has really held me back. i don't try hard or show initiative either. but why would i?!

>>677217004
And on Easter, a guy came in asking for a medium hot lattee with half n half. Now Dunkin brands doesn't carry that. Your options are whole milk, skim milk, almond milk and cream.

When he asked for half n half I replied with "I'm sorry sir but we don't carry that creamer. Your options are x, x, x."

>well you're a fucking liar. I get half n half all the time.

"Well sir I've worked here for over a year now and not once has this store carried half n half."

> well that's bull shit because I got this last week.

Again I just got mad and just lash out with "listen. I don't know what dd you went to but half n half is not carried by the company. If you want a latte I can make it with whole milk or skim. The machine has preset pouring amounts for specific drinks. So pick."

He went with whole and went on about how he thinks he's been getting straight cream instead of half n half.

And I know that shit is half cream half milk but I'm not about to try and fucking guess measurements combining the two just to appease this fucking faggot.

Felt bad, he sat alone in a dd on a holiday for two hours. Maybe his family doesn't have half n half. He said the lattee was good.

>>677218306
>how

it's not so much that i don't understand how to, it's that i don't want to. i need a book that explains how to want to get along. maybe hypnotherapy.

I think we all put on a little bit of an act depending on the situation. It more or less depends on comfortability. If you are fully comfortable in a situation and know there is no risk to being yourself, you will be yourself.

When it comes to places like work (and really the majority of places) we all kind of have to censor ourselves. I think it's pretty human. There are few people in this world who truly do not have to do this (they have the funds to basically do and say whatever they want without consequence)

but like, if I know I'm in a place or situation where I have to appear and act a certain way, I'm going to do my damn best to put on a face.

The only times I truly feel comfortable and myself are around good friends, family, girlfriend and at home. It kind of sucks really.

Also
I didn't get along with my co-workers because they had annoying flaws.
I didn't see it as being above them, but as not lowering myself to their level.
But the thing is
>I have flaws
>My friends have flaws

I see that now and It was enough to keep me held back in the company.

>>677218451
I've actually started lying to customers about whether we have something in the back refrigerator. I just don't feel like serving people anymore. Just today someone asked for an item we also carry, and I just straight up told them i'm sure were all out or it would be in front of you.

It's not that you should be happy, or that you haven't earned your animosity, it's that your anger is a choice.

How you act is what you choose, bro.

I used to know a black-spongebob. Instead of "I'm ready I'm ready" he sang "I'm working I'm working".
Came from africa, spoke 5 languages.

And meanwhile I couldn't get my own feelings together and ended up quitting the job.
I don't blame him for that, it was my choice to be sour. It was me all along.

>>677219246
I get the same feeling when this old illegal mexican guy talks to me. It's always "how you doin today buddy?" Generally I give a bullshit answer, but the reality is that he cannot get a job anywhere else because he has no verifiable background.

Holy fuck I ran a deli too. So many people at Delis here.

>>677219827
sure, i could be happy. i know dudes who like to prattle on and on about how they can be happy anywhere. they could play some stupid card game in prison and be happy. "boredom is for boring people", they say. i don't know how to be happy! certain things and activities make me happy, briefly, but in general? why? i shouldn't be happy at work. he shouldn't be happy at work. he's a dumb bastard and should be gassed. really though he's a cunt. you don't believe me because you don't know him. let's not get off topic. i know it's ..it's not my choice though. it's circumstance. i'm happy when i have a reason to be and being as work isn't a reason to be happy. i'd have to lie to myself or be on drugs. is that what you want?

Not really, in that I am pretty inconsistent in general. My personality shifts depending on context. Pretty sure I don't have much of a center. Not sure what this means. I tend to go from really nice and empathetic to the exact opposite fairly quickly.

>>677220038

I'm sure it's a good book and useful.
I'm just saying the mind-control aspects of it (directed to the first anon I replied to) are invalid because life is not something to be gamed with cold-cut predetermined responses and conversations.

>>677211772
I'm cheerful, bubbly, compassionate and all round one of the nicest dudes you'll meet. It makes life easier if people think you're a genuinely nice guy.

I just have a few small family homes that I rent out. I live in a small town, so I'm not making much money(10k or so a year) but I've got them 90% payed off so I have a lot of property value. I plan on sitting on them for a while and when the time is right, start to sell em and build me a nice house. It's not a money maker for sure but looks really good on your net worth and debt to income ratio. Plus it pays for my toys.

Fake-happy isn't valid, either.

Now, I was happy in prison. But that was because I realized when I got out that I'd be trapped in this room once again, just another prison. It was really no different.

Maybe you shouldn't be happy at work.
But that doesn't mean you have to be angry, either. Is your blood pressure going to help you work harder? No.
It takes energy to be pissed off, it really does.

In general you should be happy with yourself and the choices you've made, because you made them. This is called not hating yourself, and it only benefits you.

Your co-worker may be a happy ass, but he has the right idea by being comfortable with his choices.

That sucks. Now that we're on the subject, I just have to mention how I was "interning" at this grocery store, and when everyone else went for a meeting, I who didn't know where anything was or how things worked was the one who had to answer all of the stupid questions from the customers. That was a real pain

>>677221654
Aight here's a fucking story. This chick used to come in once a week, every. God. Damn. Week. And she'd get 10 fucking lbs. of our store brand honey ham with the slicer set to fucking 0. Being the only one who isn't a pussy I always had to take it. It'd take like ten minutes of grind ham into a closed blade to make this order. Her father didn't have teeth so apparently to compensate, she fed him ham sawdust. And the spikes don't hold the ham for shit so by the time I'd finish the ham looked like if the deli had a miscarriage

>>677220536
Nah, it's no different than I've always been. Even in my school days, I just am whatever I need to be to get the job done. I don't lie to my customers. I've never been like "yeah I agree with that thing you said." When I don't. I just pickup the personality traits that make them want to keep talking to me. Hard working, salt of the earth type guy? Slight southern accent and show no outward signs of discomfort, or maybe be loud and boisterous, like we're having beers together. Party guy? "Yeah man, let me put on some music while we talk about our rad weekend." Tumblrina with piercings and a blue Mohawk? I'm not so confident, lots of oh's and um's in my speech, can't wait to get home to my computer. Stuck-up daddy's girl? Flirt a little, make I contact, crack jokes about her air-headedness. Little personality traits, shifts in body language, all it takes to keep people talking long past the time they would have normally walked away and stopped picking up new things to buy from me. "See ya next time, sir/ma'am. Thanks for keeping me company while I work."

i think he's comfortable with his choices because he's a dumb cunt. i'm a dumb cunt for being unhappy with my choices. i've made poor choices. i don't hate myself, i hate my choices. i hate a lot of things, really. when i forget all the shit i hate and live in the moment, i'm happy. i was happy in afghanistan. i've been happy before. i'm not happy now. i'm not happy at work. i don't think people...i'm not getting bj's at work or getting paid to taste the finest of beers. there's no reason to be happy there. how do you think i should find comfort in my choices? at least i'm not dead or missing my legs only gets me so far. i know you don't have the answers, i just want you to accept that you're wrong.
