The regulars at my job make me psychotic.

Rant

I'm not talking about the people I see regularly who pop in to eat, have a drink or two and bounce. I love those people. I'm talking about the ones who expect me to know them on a first name basis, expect me to read their mind, and stay for hours and hours at my bar seats.

There are two ladies in particular who are here just about every day we're open. They stay for minimum four hours. They stop drinking after happy hour and just leave me the automatic gratuity, so I'm not making much money off them, no more than five bucks each. They are both very loud and make by far the most racket out of anyone in the building, hooting and hollering constantly. I acknowledge them, smile etc. but I am not a talkative person and prefer to clean and stock when I have downtime. These two women have BOTH complained to my lead bartender about me because "I'm not very friendly" or something like that. I am here to FUCKING WORK!!! Sorry I'm not gonna be your paid best friend for the duration you're here like the other bartenders.
