Finished watching Le Cercle Rouge and am not in the mood to do another film, even though it's early enough to do so. Don't know what I feel like doing. I guess I can tell the story I was going to tell before, an astonishing tale of stupidity and entitlement the likes of which I've never seen. Because I'd worked all day and jogged two and a half miles, which pretty much worked off some of my lunch, which wasn't that huge, I decided to treat myself to an apple fritter. So, I drove over to Yum Yum Donuts. I pulled into the parking lot but another car was determined to get there first, and with screeching tires and blocking everything so that he and his girlfriend could park first, they did so. I parked and came into the store to find this very ugly idiot and his plain girlfriend lambasting the very nice Hispanic girl behind the counter.
From what I could glean it seems these two were there at some point, perhaps the night before. The girl had felt ill and asked to use the restroom. Only there is no public restroom at Yum Yum Donuts, as is sometimes the case with places like that. There is, of course, an employee-only bathroom, but the employees are forbidden to allow anyone to use it - that's the way it works. They don't know who people are - these people could have been robbers, or crazy, or rapists. Anyway, as she should, the employee said she was sorry but couldn't let the girl back there. According to them, the girl then went outside and threw up. They were furious - they said it was against the law to refuse the girl in an emergency. Yeah, right. They demanded the girl's name, the store phone number, the manager's name and threatened legal action. Yeah, right.
This ugly twit would not shut up - and I, a customer waiting to order, had to stand there like so much fish. Well, they finally left. I commiserated with the nice Hispanic girl and she gave me the rest of the story that the idiot fellow had conveniently left out. They hadn't even been customers! They'd pulled in, come into the store and demanded the use of the restroom. That's right, you heard correctly - they hadn't purchased anything, they had no intention of purchasing anything, it was just their RIGHT to come barging in and make a demand, a demand that the employee could not meet without losing her job. But that's not all. The girl was sick because - she was DRUNK. Sloppy, disgusting DRUNK. Can you imagine the chutzpah of these two cretins? First of all, had they driven another forty-five seconds down Magnolia they would have come to an Arco station that has a - wait for it - public restroom.
I hope these idiots actually try to do something - can you imagine a lawyer listening to this story? It is to laugh. Karma will take care of these two buffoons.
