Be Nice To Service Workers, They Are Just Doing Their Job

The way someone treats people says a lot about who they are as a person. How a person treats a worker in retail or the food industry, however, speaks way louder. I've worked in the food industry for almost 4 years, in various restaurants and forms, and let me say people are mean.

I'm not sure what exactly it is that makes people so mean to retail/food workers, but it's vicious. Things happen that are beyond our control in these situations. Restaurants get busy and stores carry items that go out of stock. This isn't the employee's fault, and people really shouldn't take it out on people who just work there. I say all this to say, please be nice to the workers you encounter at restaurants and any retail stores.

It's important to just be nice to everyone in general, but especially these people. We deal with a lot of people and a lot of crazy things happen in just one shift. The last thing we need is for someone to scream at us because it's busy and it's taking 5 minutes longer to get your food. It isn't the workers' fault that the shirt you love isn't in stock.

Things happen that people can't control. At the end of the day, you will be okay if something goes wrong and you didn't yell at the worker. The main takeaway here is please please PLEASE be nice to the people you encounter at restaurants and the people that check you out. Tip your server, be nice.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.
