The game is to be told, not sold

So I was riding the bus and this girl was riding next to me while on her phone. I assumed she works at McDonalds due to her wearing a McDonalds uniform. I then celebrated my promotion to Captain and began listening to the conversation. She was talking about a co-worker she is at odds with. Apparently, she feels that this co-worker, and every other person she has ever dealt with, speaks to her with disregard and total abandon. Since I'm not one to jump to conclusions I took it upon myself to make a determination of whether or not this young lady deserved such scrutiny. I am certified by the National Ear Hustlers Administration (NEHA for short) to make such assessments and since she felt the need to publicly proclaim that "these bitches need to stop playing with (her)" and as to her query why "these hoes think they can talk any old way " to her needing to be answered, I was obliged to examine the evidence.

The girl stated that the offending girl said that this girl was "slow." I had a question as to what type of slow she meant but the girl's defence let me know which type when she proclaimed that the offender was "slow" and that was the reason the offender still works the front register and only makes $9.25 and hour as opposed to this girl's $10. Now, I'm sorry but I was under the impression that you would want your sharper employees at the Point of Sale, dealing with customers. Apparently, McDonalds Corporation puts its new, unproven employees on the front line handling money and facing customers instead of making fries and flipping burgers in the back.  Since they have billions of dollars and I have three nickles that I rub together, trying to make them breed, I guess they know what they are doing.

Anyway, the girl went on about how the two of them used to be friends but since they moved her to whatever station they had available and started paying her the big bucks things went south between them.  I was starting the feel for this young lady.  Maybe the world IS shitting on her.  Maybe everyone IS talking greasy to her and they need to watch what they say.  Then she said that everything was cool with her and the other girl until she "up and did a '360' on her."  Hmmm/  Looks like we have a winner, folks.  She had me right up until that point.  Now for those of you that don't know why that statement was incorrect, I will explain.  The correct term is 180.  If you do a 180 you are now facing the opposite direction.  If your did a 360 you did a complete circle and you are now facing the exact same direction you were facing in the first place.  Since she feels that other people are slow and she is on point, I submit to you that she is the slow one, everyone else is correct in their assumptions about her and  this fact reflects in the way  they speak to her and they gave her the raise to shut her up about having to clean the bathrooms and make the fries.
