I do try to help people as much as I can. Not with substance abuse obviously. Since nobody here knows me in person it’s hard to convey. I’m known as being pretty ornery ( as you could probably guess). But my friends and coworkers also know that if somebody is upset or crying I will be the first person to run over and hug them or put my arm around them and tell them it’s going to be okay. As management I’m technically not supposed to do but it’s just my nature and I’m really well liked at work and nobody’s going to report me for trying to make a coworker that’s in tears feel better. You’d be amazed how shifty rude ass crack addicted piece of shit customers will treat a barely 18 year old cashier over things they have no control over. Maybe it’s just this town, but God people get so snaughty with them sometimes over the stupidest shit and I try not to put up with it. (Honestly I firmly believe the whole “management needs to be above and distant” to be corporate bullshit. If your employees feel like you care about them then they will work harder for you. And it shows, when I’m there everybody’s happy and everything gets done.) but it’s honestly as much for me as them, comforting others is all that makes me feel human. (Not t that I’m glad when people get upset or anything.)

We should probably not clutter this thread with this anymore, it’s supposed to be a fun thread. I accept the full blame for it though.
