To the server at a well known Halifax Bakery: look , I know it sucks. We all had to take these underpaid Joe jobs at some point in our lives. But, it is not my fault that you can’t find decent work with your sociology/costume design/psychology/whatever degree. Why the fuck then do I have to cringe every time I want to buy a loaf of bread? I have had less fucking attitude from East German boarder guards (yeah I’m that old) .
If your work turns you into such a miserably bovine, why not just switch jobs? You’d be a perfect Tax collector, so go and write that civil service exam pronto.

Miserably bovine? I totally gotta steal that insult.
Less attitude from east german border guards?
INTENSE.
Even saying “less attitude from Canadian border guards” would be appropriate too. They can also be pretty intense.
CBSA – dumb as a dogs dick, but in both official languages!
crap…misspelled border and can’t change it now. Apologies. Come to think of it, she would make a fantastic border guard.
