Customers Like You
I greet
You roll your eyes
I smile
You stare
I compliment
You ignore
I give you a sample
You complain and question
What do you want from me?
I'm not your genie,
Here to grant all your wishes
I'm just another human being
Don't look down on me
Don't you know that's just disrespectful?
Look at me when I talk to you
I'm not lesser of a human being
Just because I work part-time
I make my own money
I go to college full-time
I do well in school
What else do you want?
I give suggestions
You sigh
You drop something
You stare at me
Waiting for me to clean it up
Of course I ask if you are okay
You complain
You yell
You want my manager
I'm done with customers like you
I question how you came to be
I lose more faith in humanity
I wonder why you're still here
In the end, I smile
I thank you
I await the next customer
