A person can learn many life skills working as a social servant, i.e., bouncer, waitress, server …the list goes on but the reality is, you’re not that important; not in the grand picture. People want this extra attention and praise but forget we’re servants, no one owes you a tip. You get paid for doing a job, that’s it, you don’t get to say “not tip no service”. The reality is those people who go out can cook their own meals, do their own laundry and fight for themselves. You and me are expendable, bottom line… That customer is your boss, if they complain, your job is on the line.

You are the official ass kisser.

Stop acting like you deserve more.

How dare I right? The truth hurts i know but I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings. The fact is we’re serving their vanity. Sure we can ask for more money and respect but that comes from the employer, they are the ones who pay you minimum wage, they are the ones that say “this is what you’re worth.” So why do you stay at that job, hoping for tips when you know that you should be working a better paying job. You can’t blame society for your insecurity and or laziness.

These jobs aren’t cool and you damn well cant live a full life on what is paid, i know i didn’t. What do i have to show for my time in the service industry… Not a damn thing. No solid friends, no family, all that talk we ever did, playing, partying was a great waist of time. I don’t blame them though, its my fault for not doing my best to see the world around me.

Now i cant afford to keep up with the rising cost of living and my peers are as worthless as i am. That’s not to say they are not good people. We’re all good people but we want what we want when we want it, just like those who can afford to pay you to do what they don’t want or have to do. Theres not a damn thing humble about that.

Humble is what the well to do tell you yo do, so that you can get a reward. You’re not supposed to want to cook or clean or fight for people you dont know.

When i worked at a strip club, i watched men watching women shake their asses in their faces… That sucks. If i were married or had a significant other that mattered …why the fuck would i have my face up some other womans ass and why would she allow that. Our priorities are fucked up. America and this is our wake up call.

My job now isn’t much better but my dignity is saved and I’m glad to be sober. I can only hope my heart will allow someone close again so maybe i can know what love feels like before i die.

Fuck.
