Even though there are some customers that come in to Martha's and act like pretentious imps there's always those exceptional ones that make me really love people when I think I'm starting to become a misanthrope. There's this guy who always comes in and can be very sassy sometimes but in a funny way we started talking music and it turns out he's a big jazz fan; I showed him Astrud/Stan - he saaaaaaaays he likes it I hope he really does. I have a whole new appreciation for him as a person. He introduced me to this guy and I'm hella into it. I want to try and burn him the same cd [The mix CD Kaytie's ex 'Geo' made for me that introduced me to Astrud] or maybe even a better one with the music I've collected through thrifting and purchasing soundtracks via itunes. It's crazy because I feel like the people who surround you even though they care about you; are the first ones to say you won't be able to accomplish the shit you truly believe you are. I've been feeling really lucky when it comes to the people I've been waiting on there's this couple that comes in and always sits at the same table they're super friendly, courteous, and polite. When I wait on people that's all I'm really asking - at the end of the day, you knew you were going to come in here and have to talk to me...repeatedly....so we can talk about the things you want HELLO?! So why be rude or obnoxious to someone who's just at work trying to do their job if you didn't want to deal with a waitress, you could have ordered to go. Not that I always get rude customers but I hate that people think it's okay to be rude if they tip well. I can care less about your money if you ruin my day because you're trying to make me feel as low as you must feel on the inside to treat a stranger so rudely. Excuse me for venting but, I was hella offended the other day when these two older white people were being super offensive. I know they thought they were being funny but I didn't think it was. I almost cried about it but I was like nah I'm not gonna be a little bitch about it cause either way what the fuck do I care about these people to let them affect me so much. They were pretty much laughing at the fact that I can't hear in one of my ears, and when they left their tip they said it was for my, "Hearing aid fund". Oh, did I mention they also mimicked a deaf person trying to talk while fake signing? People are lucky I have so much restraint and patience. Anyways back to the point, these customers; people I barely know, make me feel more confident in my abilities and ideas than people I talk to on a daily basis. That couple I talked about earlier found out about my ambitions and ideas as far as this website and the husband told me someone he knew had recently passed away left him with four trailers worth of belongings, as they owned an antique store and had a lot of shit! He stated he didn't have the time or patience to look through everything but encouraged me to get business cards to pass out and put myself out there. Once I get business cards, he can contact me about various things he's found or I could go and take a look myself! Just when I start to lose hope for humanity and people looking out for each other, I meet people like this who encourage me to follow my dreams, because instead of putting me down they're believing in me as much as I do.
