Some customers are such pricks

So I was working at Subway today. Customers are usually nice to ok, but not this one.
I'm working on veggies in the asseline we make when we have at least 2 customers, which we had three; a guy in a yellow shirt (unimportant to the story) and a couple, man and woman. I can't remember what the woman ordered, but the guy ordered a bmt (pepperoni salami and ham) on italian. Normally italian bread is a whitish color, but it occasionally gets a bit browner when we make it. It's still ok, but just not as soft.
So I finish with the yellow-shirt-guy's veggies and finish him off on register. I grabbed some more gloves and went over to the couple and asked what they wanted on the one in front of me, and the guy says he wanted it toasted. So I toast it like he wants while George (another employee) works on the woman's sub. After it comes out of the toaster, it seems a bit dark, but still fine. I ask him what he wants on the sandwich and he asks for light lettuce. I put it on, very lightly, but he says "even lighter" a little agitated, even though it's pretty much as light as you can get without just scraps of lettuce here and there. So he gets a few other things, and by the time I'm finished, George is done with the woman's so we're both starting to wrap the sandwiches when he askes, sounding slightly more agitated, if his is burnt. I don't think it is, so I look over at George, who says "no." The guy must not have heard him because it turns out he had been starring at just me for the answer. By that time I was starting to hear him use the F-word a few times, though not too loud.
I put the wrapped sandwich in the bag along with the one George wrapped, and hand it to the two while asking if they want a meal (which we're required to ask). The woman says no thanks, but the man is already taking his sandwich out of the bag, looks at it, and says "what the fuck!" He goes off on his woman complaining how he believes it's burnt. So the woman asks us if we could possibly remake it, which George goes to do, trying to avoid anything too bad. He looks at me and says "I asked you if it was burnt but you just fucking ignored me!" So I start to point at George about to say "He told you it wasn't." I guess I must have started to make a small shrugging motion while I did because the next thing I got from him was:
"DON'T FUCKING SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS AT ME, ASSHOLE!"
All I could do was stand there and quietly say "sorry." Then he starts saying stuff like "I come here 40 times a week," "I've never been treated this way," and "I'm never coming here again." On the last one I was tempted to shout "GOOD!!" So I have to redo the veggies for him, all while being treated like shit. During which, I started making a list of things I should've said to him (good thing I didn't, but it would have been so satisfying):
"I'm gonna venture a guess that you're either unemployed or that you don't work around other people."
"I swear, if I didn't have to make this sandwich in front of you..."
"Sheesh, what crawled up your ass?"
"You must be great at parties."

So after I remake it, the woman politely thanks us for making sandwich again. But then I notice that they're leaving with all three sandwiches! Wait a minute, so your bitching at me, and you're getting free food for it?? What the fuck is your problem!?!? I'm so glad he said "never coming here again," or I'd probably greet him with "Hey, assface." Hope that woman dumps him soon, while it's still early (our manager said she always comes in with a different guy.)

Asshole.

finally some relationship drama of my own.

Ok, so my school had a dinner show, in which a lot of the choruses both me and Jayme, a friend of mine, are in. So after the show, we all had to help clean up the chairs and tables. But while we are, a bunch of people around us try to convince us to go out! Except, it was in a complete Middle School pushing each other towards each other manner. So eventually we lose everybody and go off on our own.
As it turns out, practically everybody at school thinks the two of us should go out, especially because she recently broke up with Daniel. So I finally ask her, she pauses for a few seconds, and says "yes!" We hug, then go home after agreeing to try and not let it get passed around the school so quickly. (this was all on valentine's day btw)
So the next day at Subway (where I work) all day I continually think "holy shit, I'm actually going out with her!" and start looking forward to all kinds of things (seeing movies, that stuff), but eventually I start thinking "oh shit, what if we break up?" Well, I shouldn't have to worry about that right?
Wrong.
Later that night we're both helping out at a church dinner, and she's acting a little, well, distant. I finally got the phone back from my brother (we share the phone) which had been off since who-knows-when. I turn it on, and instantly get a slew of texts from her with stuff like "I can't do this right now," "I'm sorry, I just can't," and "I feel like a bitch for this." (she's not, don't worry.) So turns out she still hasn't gotten over Daniel, as they were actually going to get together again, but he changed his mind at the last second (this was also on Saturday, literally hours beforehand). Now she feels sad and upset because I guess she really wanted to do this, but just couldn't bear it right now (she said "maybe later.") I think it's ok for now, but she's been really upset with herself for saying yes, and later changing her mind. I understand completely, but she said she's feeling "everything." (sad, upset, horrible, angry maybe?) I'm gonna try and help her out somehow (hope I'm good at that.) I wonder if maybe we could try doing things as friends and see if anything happens.
But at the same time, I'm wondering "'Maybe later?' But when will that be?" I guess I'll just have to go with it and hope for the best for now.

FUCK

So speech team went to state, including both of my events (one act play and group mime). I thought we did pretty well, but when we checked who's going to all state on monday, my mime got nothing, and one act got "non-performing" (which is pretty much an "it was good, but you shouldn't do it again") It sucks because everybody thought we were gonna make it, mime especially. Though I am happy for Auriel, who's mime did get in. Although thinking about it, this means I get All-State recognition without having to actually do anything again...besides taping it one more time. (we should put it on youtube or something) However, the taping will probably be tommorow after the show, which I was planning on hanging out with Auriel Galen and Dani! Hope I can get done with that early.
All for now, gotta go to band (again, since I missed too many games and have to make them up)
